Hi Scott, Well that looks like it is looking so clear mate I have just got a rota bottom drain to put on my main pond I hope I get the same result as you have had mate. Steve
@@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks the one was my first retro bottom drain And was doingg a great job you will loved it Now I have the 4inch one as gravity fed and very happy with it
@@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks i might need 2 just worried about pipe work in pond when had pump it was just sat in 1 corner 2 drains could leave me with quite abit of pipe work in there , what size pumps you got on there
@@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks I have a vari flow pump my pond is 1200 galls I run this on the slow speed .In the morning i speed it up to10000 turn the air off for approx 30 first then speed the pump up for about an hour then return it back to slow 3000 litres This gives me a stronger pull thru the retro bot drain
they are good but what i found with mine is when youve a carpet of blanket weed the waste gets stuck in it and not going to the drain as much. other than that its been great
How many gallons does your pond hold? I've got 1200 gallon wondered if there's a smaller variation to the bottom drain you have installed, thanks. Gwen 🧓

Seems to be doing a good job. I was going to leave this video abit longer but don't think I needed to. Definitely worth getting one 👍
Looks like it works very well. Cheers 🍺

What speed are you running the water thru your bottom drain
I've got an 8000lph pump that's split between the easy pod tempest to shower
