Bottom Drains

Koi Pond Aerated Bottom Drains

Installing a koi pond in your backyard is one of the simplest ways to turn your home’s outdoor space into a relaxing oasis. However, it could also turn into your worst nightmare if you don’t take the time to have a koi pond bottom drain installed in it. An aerated bottom drain in your koi pond will help to filter out fish waste and keep the water in your koi pond clean. It’ll also remove a lot of the other waste that is able to work its way into your koi pond over time. Underwater Warehouse can supply you with koi toilet, Rhino or other bottom drains to prevent you from having to deal with an overflow of waste in your koi pond.

How Do Koi Pond Bottom Drains Work?

Most of the waste that is created in a koi pond will sink to the bottom of it. If there isn’t a koi pond bottom drain installed in it, that waste will then sit there and have a profound impact on the quality of the water in the koi pond. Aerated bottom drains in a koi pond will prevent this problem by sucking up the waste and feeding it to a filter system. This system will extract waste from your koi pond and help keep the water in it as clean as possible. You won’t have to worry about water quality when you have drain from Underwater Warehouse installed in your pond.

Installing the Correct Number of Aerated Bottom Drains in Your Koi Pond

If the koi pond in your backyard is on the smaller side, you may be able to get away with installing a single aerated bottom drain in it. One drain can handle up to 5,000 gallons of water. Nevertheless, if your koi pond has more water in it than that, you’ll need to have additional koi pond bottom drains from installed. Generally speaking, we would recommend about one drain for every 3,000 to 5,000 gallons of water following the initial 5,000 gallons. Having multiple aerated bottom drains in your koi pond will keep the water in it circulating and stop solid waste from settling on the bottom of it.
