Koi Pond Bottom Drains

Koi Pond Bottom Drains

Bottom drains are designed to effectively remove waste from fish that accumulates on the bottom of a pond. This waste often contains harmful toxins that can contaminate the water, leading to a decrease in oxygen levels. Consequently, this can have detrimental effects on other aquatic organisms that rely on oxygen for survival. By incorporating a bottom drain system, you can prevent the buildup of waste and maintain the health of your prized Koi fish. It is important to note that when considering the placement of bottom drains, they have a limited radius of approximately 4 to 6 feet. Therefore, it is advisable to install an adequate number of bottom drains to effectively eliminate debris and sediment from the pond's bottom, ensuring a low-maintenance Koi pond.
