Tetra Bottom Drains 

Tetra 3" Bottom Drain

Installed at the bottom of the pond, this device encourages debris and waste to flow into a circular collection chamber, where it is carried away underground, via standard 3" PVC pipe (not included) to a disposal area.

Tetra 2" Vacuum Bottom Drain

The Tetra 2" Vacuum Bottom Drain is used for adding a bottom drain to an existing pond.  When correctly installed, the drain sits level on the pond bottom.

This portable bottom drain is designed for use in most water gardens and fish ponds.  It removes debris that settles at the lowest point of the pond. No excavation required - allowing for easy retrofitting for existing ponds. 

This bottom drain lays on top of the liner and connects to the pump via 2" PVC, ABS pipe or 2" swimming pool flex hose (not included).  

Parts Included:

• Drain Dome w/plug
• 2" ABS Elbow

Tools and Materials Needed for Installation:

• 2" ABS or PVC Pipe --- amount determined by pond size & configuration. Using less than 2" I.D. will restrict flow from drain. However, smaller diameter pipe can be used on pump end. 2" I.D. swimming pool flex hose may be used instead of rigid pipe if properly anchored to prevent floating. If using flex hose, a special cement must be used to connect ABS pipe.
• 2" ABS or PVC Elbows --- type and number determined by pond configuration.
  PVC Saw
• All-Purpose Cement
• Sand or Gravel for Filling Dome
