Aquadyne 2" Rhino Retro Bottom Drain (MPN RHRET-2)

The Aquadyne Retrofit Bottom Drain is an ideal solution for people who want to avoid installing a drain through a liner or for pre-constructed ponds that lack a bottom drain. It is particularly beneficial for ponds and aquatic environments that already have a liner, concrete, or any other factor preventing the installation of underground plumbing. To use this drain, all you need to do is fill the ballast area with small stone, sand, or any other heavy inert material. Then, attach a suction hose or rigid plumbing to the side port of the drain, connecting it to the pump suction line. You should place the drain in the center or deepest part of the pond to allow the pump to easily draw up suspended solids and debris from the pond's bottom. During the winter months, you can conveniently relocate the drain to a shallower area of the pond, allowing the warmer water to remain undisturbed in the lower parts of the pond. This is especially beneficial as fish tend to gather in these areas during colder temperatures.
