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, sunlight, moisture, and environmental debris. Manufactured by PerformancePro Pumps, this protective housing helps reduce motor noise, minimize exposure to the elements, and extend the service life of compatible pond pumping equipment.

External pond pumps are frequently exposed to changing weather conditions that can contribute to corrosion, premature motor wear, and equipment deterioration. The ProTect Pump Cover provides an effective protective barrier, helping safeguard your investment while maintaining a neat and professional-looking pond equipment installation.

Constructed from UV-resistant thermoplastic, the MPC-10 offers sturdy, long-lasting protection against outdoor environmental conditions. Its durable design helps shield exposed pump motors from water damage, falling leaves, dirt, and other debris commonly encountered around koi ponds, waterfalls, and ornamental water gardens.

In addition to weather protection, the ProTect Pump Cover helps reduce operating noise from external pump motors. This makes it particularly useful for residential pond installations located near patios, decks, gardens, and other outdoor living spaces.

Installation is quick and convenient thanks to the cover’s simple, tool-free assembly. Pre-cut knockout sections allow customization around existing plumbing connections and pump configurations, making it easier to integrate the enclosure into established systems.

The MPC-10 is designed for compatible PerformancePro Artesian, Artesian2, ArtesianPro, and Cascade series pumps. Certain models, particularly variable-speed configurations, may require modifications for proper fitment.

Whether you’re protecting a newly installed external pond pump or upgrading an existing filtration system, the PerformancePro ProTect Pump Cover provides reliable weather protection, reduced motor noise, and convenient maintenance access.

Position the PerformancePro ProTect Pump Cover over the compatible external pump motor, ensuring adequate clearance for plumbing connections, electrical wiring, and proper motor ventilation.

Assemble the enclosure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The cover features a simple design that typically requires approximately five minutes to assemble without tools.

Use the pre-cut knockout sections as needed to accommodate the existing pump and plumbing configuration. Avoid unnecessary modifications that could compromise the enclosure’s structural integrity.

Ensure the cover is securely positioned and does not interfere with the pump motor’s cooling airflow, operation, or maintenance access.

Periodically inspect the enclosure for accumulated leaves, dirt, and other debris. Keep the surrounding area clear to maintain proper ventilation and prevent overheating.

Clean the exterior as necessary using mild cleaning methods suitable for thermoplastic materials.

Important Compatibility Information:

The PerformancePro ProTect MPC-10 is designed for compatible Artesian, Artesian2, ArtesianPro, and Cascade external pond pumps.

For ArtesianPro models, the cover is intended primarily for motor protection. Variable-speed pump configurations may require additional clearance or modifications.

Pump cover only. Pump and motor are not included.

The ProTect provides protection from normal outdoor environmental exposure but is not a fully waterproof or sealed electrical enclosure. Proper electrical safety, drainage, and ventilation remain essential.
