Your Choice Aquatics 60″ Bottom Tray with Outlets – Bakki Shower Replacement Tray ONLY

About This Product

The Your Choice Aquatics 60″ Bottom Tray with Outlets is a replacement filtration component designed for compatible 60-inch Bakki Shower pond filtration systems. This specialized bottom tray serves as the final collection and discharge stage of a multi-tier shower filter, directing filtered water back into the pond or connecting return plumbing.

Bakki Shower filtration systems are widely used in koi ponds, ornamental water gardens, and aquaculture applications because of their ability to combine biological filtration with increased water-to-air contact. As pond water passes downward through multiple trays of biological filter media, beneficial bacteria help process dissolved nitrogen waste while the cascading water is exposed to atmospheric oxygen.

The bottom tray performs an essential function in this process by collecting water after it has passed through the upper filtration stages. Rather than allowing water to discharge freely over a waterfall lip, the outlet-style design directs the returning water through dedicated plumbing connections.

This configuration is particularly beneficial for pond installations where the Bakki Shower is located inside a filter house, behind landscaping, or away from the pond’s edge. The outlet connections allow water to be routed through appropriately sized return plumbing to the desired discharge location.

Designed as a replacement component for the Your Choice Aquatics 60-inch Bakki Shower system, the tray allows pond owners to replace a damaged or worn bottom section without purchasing an entirely new filtration assembly.

The corresponding 60-inch Your Choice Aquatics shower filter uses durable polypropylene construction, selected for its resistance to moisture, corrosion, and environmental exposure. Its complete outlet-equipped system uses approximately 110 mm discharge connections, compatible with appropriately sized flexible plumbing couplings.

A properly installed bottom tray helps maintain controlled drainage from the filter, reducing the risk of water overflowing from the collection stage during normal operation.

Whether you’re restoring a damaged Bakki Shower, maintaining a large koi pond filtration system, or replacing an existing outlet-style bottom tray, this component provides a practical solution for compatible Your Choice Aquatics equipment.

Please note: This listing is for the bottom tray with outlets ONLY. It is not a complete Bakki Shower filtration system.

How the Bottom Tray Works

Water Collection

In a Bakki Shower filtration system, pond water is pumped to the upper distribution tray and directed downward through multiple stages of biological filtration media.

As the water travels through these stages, it contacts beneficial bacterial surfaces and is exposed to air.

The bottom tray collects the water after it has passed through the filtration stages.

Controlled Water Discharge

The outlet-style bottom tray directs collected water toward dedicated plumbing outlets.

Unlike a waterfall-style discharge, this arrangement allows water to be carried through appropriately sized return piping.

This provides additional installation flexibility where the filter cannot discharge directly into the pond.

Biological Filtration Support

Although the bottom tray is not itself a complete biological filter, it forms an essential part of the overall Bakki Shower assembly.

Proper collection and drainage help the upper filtration stages operate as intended without excessive water accumulation in the bottom section.

Flexible Pond Installation

Plumbed bottom outlets are especially useful when installing the filtration system inside a pond equipment room or in an area where a direct waterfall return is impractical.

The return plumbing can be positioned to suit the pond’s layout, provided the system is designed with adequate gravity drainage capacity.

Recommended Applications

Replacement of Damaged Bottom Trays

Replace a cracked, damaged, or leaking bottom collection tray on a compatible Your Choice Aquatics 60-inch Bakki Shower.

Koi Pond Filtration Systems

Maintain reliable water discharge from large biological shower filtration systems serving koi ponds.

Pond Filter-House Installations

Route filtered water through properly sized outlet plumbing when the Bakki Shower is positioned inside a protected filtration area.

Ornamental Pond Water Returns

Provide a controlled discharge arrangement for compatible pond systems where a waterfall-style return is not desired.

Filtration System Maintenance

Restore proper drainage and collection performance without replacing the complete shower assembly.

Installation and Replacement Instructions

1. Verify Compatibility

Confirm that the existing filtration system is the correct Your Choice Aquatics 60-inch Bakki Shower with Outlets model.

Different manufacturers and Bakki Shower generations may use different tray widths, stacking profiles, outlet arrangements, and dimensions.

Do not assume this replacement tray will fit every 60-inch Bakki Shower.

2. Shut Down the Filtration System

Turn off the water pump supplying the shower filter.

Allow the existing system to drain completely before beginning disassembly.

Disconnect electrical power to nearby equipment when necessary for safe maintenance.

3. Remove the Existing Bottom Tray

Carefully remove the upper filter trays and biological media as necessary to access the bottom section.

Support the components during disassembly and avoid damaging the surrounding plumbing.

Inspect the existing return connections before removing the old bottom tray.

4. Prepare the Replacement Tray

Examine the replacement component for cracks, shipping damage, or debris.

Verify the outlet configuration and dimensions before beginning installation.

Clean the tray with water and avoid household detergents or chemical cleaners.

5. Position the Bottom Tray

Place the new tray on a level, stable support structure capable of carrying the operating weight of the entire Bakki Shower.

Ensure that the tray is properly aligned with the upper filtration stages.

6. Connect Return Plumbing

Connect the outlet fittings to appropriately sized pond return plumbing.

The corresponding Your Choice Aquatics 60-inch system uses approximately 110 mm outlet connections, often joined to nominal 4-inch plumbing with suitable flexible couplings.

Confirm actual connection dimensions before purchasing plumbing adapters or couplings.

Do not reduce the return plumbing below the capacity required for the selected water flow without appropriate system engineering.

7. Reassemble the Filter

Reinstall the compatible upper trays and biological media.

Confirm that the complete assembly is stable and that all trays are properly aligned.

8. Test the System

Restore water flow gradually.

Inspect the bottom tray, outlet connections, and return plumbing for leaks or overflow.

Confirm that the outlet plumbing can discharge the incoming water without allowing the tray to flood.

Maintenance and Care Recommendations

Inspect the bottom tray periodically for accumulated debris, algae, and sediment.

Keep outlet connections and return plumbing free of leaves, biological buildup, and other obstructions.

Check flexible plumbing couplings for deterioration, leaks, and loose clamps.

Ensure the filter remains level and properly supported.

Avoid allowing heavy debris to accumulate around the discharge outlets, as restricted drainage may cause water to rise inside the tray.

During seasonal maintenance, inspect the tray for cracks and other damage.

Protect exposed plumbing and equipment from freezing conditions.

When cleaning the tray, use methods appropriate for pond filtration equipment and avoid contaminating the biological media with cleaning chemicals.
