EasyPro 2" Bottom Drain Kit (BD1 drain) Includes 2" Fittings (MPN BDK2N)

Many pond builders have discovered that incorporating a bottom drain into their ponds helps to maintain cleanliness. The accumulation of fish waste and other debris on the bottom of a pond can be easily eliminated with the use of a bottom drain. It is especially crucial for ponds that exceed a depth of 2', as without a bottom drain, they can become stagnant. The bottom drain system includes flex PVC pipe that is installed under the liner, which carries water from under the liner to the skimmer box. A bulkhead fitting is installed in the skimmer box, connecting the flex PVC to the male adapter. To control the flow, a valve is placed inside the skimmer box. When the pump is activated, water flows into the skimmer through both the skimmer faceplate (surface water) and the bottom drain. The system also includes a valve that allows for regulation of the water intake through the top and bottom inlets. Additionally, the system features the BD1 bottom drain (without an air diffuser), which is designed for use with 2" pipes. The pipes, however, need to be purchased separately. The system is highly recommended for use with Pro-Series PS1 style or Axiom PSA5000 or PSA7000 skimmers.
