Retro Bottom Drain – Rhino

Product details

Retro Bottom Drain – Rhino is a retrofit bottom drain designed for ponds and aquatic setups where you either can’t install plumbing through a liner or don’t have an existing bottom drain in a pre-constructed pond. Instead of running plumbing under the liner, this retro-style drain sits inside the pond and connects to your pump suction line through a side port. It helps draw suspended solids and debris from the bottom area so waste buildup is reduced, supporting a cleaner pond environment and easier maintenance.

Features:

• Retrofit-friendly design for liner bottoms and pre-built ponds without needing to cut through the liner for underground plumbing
• Connects to a suction hose or rigid plumbing via the drain’s side port to route waste toward the pump suction line
• Includes a ballast area intended to be filled with small stone, sand, or other heavy inert material for stable positioning
• Recommended placement is in the center or deepest part of the pond to encourage solids and debris pickup from the bottom
• In winter, the drain can be moved to a more shallow part of the pond to leave warmer lower water undisturbed
• Built with heavy-duty PVC materials and designed to be liner-friendly compared with products that may have sharp edges

Specifications:

• Compatible drain connection sizes: 2" and 3"
• Construction material: Heavy-duty PVC
• Ballast area: Fill with small stone, sand, or other heavy inert material
• Plumbing connection: Side port connection for suction hose or rigid plumbing to the pump suction line
