PerformancePro ProTect Pump Cover MPC-10
About This Product
The PerformancePro ProTect Pump Cover (MPC-10) is a durable, weather-resistant protective enclosure designed to shield external pond pumps and motors from rain, moisture, sunlight, and environmental debris. Engineered specifically for compatible PerformancePro pump systems, this protective housing helps extend equipment service life while reducing operating noise and maintaining a cleaner, more professional pond equipment installation.
External pond pumps are frequently exposed to changing weather conditions, including rain, direct sunlight, windblown debris, and moisture. Over time, these environmental factors can contribute to corrosion, premature motor wear, and reduced equipment reliability. The PerformancePro ProTect Pump Cover provides a protective barrier that helps minimize exposure and safeguard your investment.
Constructed from UV-resistant, durable thermoplastic, the MPC-10 is designed to withstand outdoor environmental conditions while protecting the pump motor from direct exposure to the elements. Its sturdy construction offers dependable protection without requiring a permanent equipment enclosure or pump house.
The ProTect cover also helps reduce pump motor noise, making it an excellent addition to residential koi ponds, ornamental water gardens, waterfalls, and other outdoor water features where quiet operation is desirable.
Designed for quick and convenient installation, the MPC-10 features an easy-to-assemble construction that requires no tools. Pre-cut knockout sections allow customization to accommodate different pump and plumbing configurations, providing flexibility during installation.
The cover is compatible with PerformancePro Artesian, Artesian2, and Cascade pump models. It can also provide motor protection for compatible ArtesianPro models, although additional clearance or modifications may be necessary depending on the specific configuration.
Featuring a natural earth-tone finish, the ProTect blends into outdoor landscapes and pond equipment areas. The exterior can also be painted to better match surrounding structures or landscaping.
Whether you’re protecting a new external pond pump, upgrading an existing filtration installation, or reducing equipment noise, the PerformancePro ProTect Pump Cover offers a practical solution for long-lasting pump and motor protection.

Installation and Maintenance Recommendations:
Position the PerformancePro ProTect Pump Cover over the compatible external pond pump motor, ensuring there is sufficient space for installation, plumbing connections, and proper airflow.
Assemble the protective housing according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The ProTect features a simple assembly process that typically takes approximately five minutes and does not require specialized tools.
Use the pre-cut knockout sections as needed to accommodate the pump’s configuration while avoiding unnecessary modifications to the enclosure.
Make sure the cover is positioned securely and does not interfere with pump operation, electrical connections, ventilation, or routine maintenance access.
Periodically inspect the enclosure for accumulated leaves, dirt, or other debris. Keep ventilation openings clear to prevent excessive heat buildup around the pump motor.
Clean the cover as needed using water and mild cleaning methods appropriate for thermoplastic materials.
Important Compatibility Information:
The PerformancePro ProTect MPC-10 is designed for compatible Artesian, Artesian2, and Cascade external pond pumps.
For ArtesianPro models, the cover is intended to protect the motor portion only. Certain variable-speed configurations may require modifications to ensure proper clearance.
This product includes the protective pump cover only. The pump and motor are not included.
The cover helps protect equipment from environmental exposure but is not a waterproof electrical enclosure. Proper pump ventilation, drainage, and electrical safety precautions remain essential.
