Bottom drains are used on "Gravity Fed" systems, this means the water enters the filter by gravity and returns to the pond by pumped flow. They are vital when looking to remove solid fish waste & organic matter such as debris and leaves.

Water passes through the bottom drain through the connecting pipework and on to the filter system where the waste particles are delt with, usually by way of settlement in to a Vortex chamber.

On gravity fed systems the pipework on the gravity side of the filter is of a large diameter, usually 110mm.

The water with the waste particles travels along this pipework slowly and as it does so, particles will settle out within the pipework. Left unchecked these particles will harbour bad bacteria which in turn can cause bacterial fish health problems like raised scales and ulcers.

Correct Installation of a Bottom Drain

1. 110mm Bottom Drain fitted into the base of the pond.
2. 110mm pipework connected to the bottom drain.
3. 1 x 110mm Tee and 2 x 110mm valves fitted to the pipework before entering the filter.
4. Pipework enters the filter.

By fitting the Tee and Valves water can be flushed to waste from the bottom drain and pipework ensuring this remains free of waste particles and eliminating the risk of bacterial fish health problems.
