Know before you buy
This kit is designed to pull water and debris from the very bottom of your pond, preventing the buildup of fish waste and organic muck that can cause stagnation in deeper water.
No, the kit does not include the 2-inch piping. You will need to purchase the appropriate length of flex PVC pipe separately to connect the drain to your skimmer.
The kit includes an adjustable flow control valve. This allows you to manually balance the water intake ratio between your surface skimmer and the bottom drain to suit your pond's specific circulation needs.
It is specifically designed for integration with EasyPro Pro-Series PS1 style skimmers and Axiom PSA5000 or PSA7000 models. It may not be compatible with other brands or models without significant modifications.
The drain is installed underneath the pond liner. It requires careful placement during the construction or renovation phase of your pond to ensure a watertight seal through the liner.
