Adding a bottom drain is a great way to remove solids
and prevent stratification, especially in ponds over 3' deep. EasyPro
bottom drains are easy to install and come complete with everything needed to
make a water tight penetration through the liner. The built in air
diffuser model provides the ultimate in self cleaning action. When the air
bubbles rise the dirty water is pulled into the bottom drain.

PROFESSIONAL BOTTOM DRAIN KITS
Many pond builders have found that adding a bottom drain helps keep a pond cleaner. Fish waste and other muck that accumulates on a pond bottom can be easily removed by a bottom drain. Ponds that are over 2' deep can become
stratified without a bottom drain.
-
 The bottom drain is installed under the liner. Flex PVC pipe carries the water under the liner to the skimmer box. A bulkhead fitting is installed in the skimmer. A PVC male adapter connects the flex PVC to the bulkhead fitting. A valve is placed inside the skimmer box to control flow. When the pump is turned on, water will flow into the skimmer through the skimmer faceplate (surface water) as well as the bottom drain.
-
You can control how much water goes in thru the top/bottom inlets with the valve on the bottom drain.
-
Kits include
an bottom drain (above), bulkhead fitting, valve and fittings. Does not include PVC pipe.
-
2" kit recommended for
PS1 skimmers, 3" for
