Know before you buy
No, the EasyPro 3" Bottom Drain does not include a pump. You will need to source a separate pump and an air compressor to power the integrated 10-inch diffuser.
This unit is designed specifically for use with 3-inch schedule 40 PVC pipe. Ensure your plumbing layout is compatible with this standard size before beginning your installation.
The drain features a secure sealing mechanism utilizing dual rubber gaskets and six stainless steel screws. This hardware creates a watertight compression seal against your pond liner to prevent leaks.
This system is optimized for ponds deeper than two feet. In shallower environments, the drain may not provide the necessary circulation or sediment removal benefits it is engineered to deliver.
The air inlet fitting is a 1/2-inch barbed connection. You should use tubing that matches this size to ensure a secure fit for your air supply line.
