Aerated Bottom Drain - This unit completely replaces the "Standard Bottom Drain".
The most noticeable feature is the extra connection in the sump of the drain. This allows the air supply hose to enter the sump independent of the water outlet pipe, thus eliminating the possibility of restriction to the water flow and somewhere else for blanket weed to attach. The membrane and backing plate fit into a recess in the specially manufactured dome (provided). The recess in the dome prevents the the membrane from becoming detached. The complete assembly is secured to the bottom drain by means of a stem, which also provides the air inlet
4” bottom drain with 1” air inlet has an air diffuser top with 4,500 air holes in the diffuser. This bottom drain pushes air up and pulls the sediment down to the bottom drain. This bottom drain is highly recommended and is the most efficient bottom drain today.
