Weighted Suction Drain Retro (with aerator)

Got an existing pond without a bottom drain? The Weighted Suction Drain Retro (with Aerator) AP626 gives you bottom-drain performance without rebuilding your pond.

Developed for new or existing ponds, the weighted suction dome range delivers the benefits of a bottom drain – improving circulation and helping lift debris from the pond floor – without major construction work

Why it works

• Retro-fit design – no need to break out your base
• Weighted dome sits securely on the pond floor
• Integrated aerator to boost oxygen and circulation
• Improves water movement, helping remove suspended particles and debris
• Reduces ongoing maintenance by improving draw across the bottom

Once connected into your filtration line, it increases circulation around the pond, helping pull solids towards the intake

Fit notes

• Designed for ponds where a traditional bottom drain wasn’t installed.
• Connect to your suction line and filtration system.
• Suitable for upgrading existing pond systems without structural changes.

If you’re building from scratch, a built-in bottom drain may still be the preferred option. For existing ponds, this is a practical upgrade.

Installation tip

Position the dome centrally where possible to maximise draw across the pond floor. Pair with adequate pump flow to ensure effective debris removal.
