RETRO FIT DOMED AERATOR WEIGHTED BOTTOM DRAIN FISH POND SKIMMER NO DIGGING

Item Description

Aquacadabra Retro Fit Domed Aerated / Weighted Suction Dome

Get the benefits of a traditional pond bottom drain without digging up your pond or cutting through the liner. The Aquacadabra Retro Fit Weighted Suction Dome is designed for existing ponds where installing a conventional bottom drain is impractical, providing an effective way to draw debris and solids from the pond floor directly into the filtration system.

Simply position the weighted dome at the lowest point of the pond and connect it to your filtration system. The integrated base plate holds the dome at the correct working height to provide maximum draw across the pond floor while maintaining unrestricted water flow, even where the bottom is not completely flat.

Supplied with fittings for gravity-fed or pump-fed systems, the Retro Fit Suction Dome provides a practical solution for upgrading an established pond without the major work involved in fitting a conventional bottom drain.

Key Features

  • Retro fit bottom drain solution – Designed to provide bottom-drain style suction in existing ponds without rebuilding them.
  • No digging required – Simply position the dome directly at the lowest point of the pond.
  • No need to cut the pond liner – Ideal for established ponds where installing a traditional bottom drain is not practical.
  • Draws waste from the pond floor – Helps pull debris and solids from the bottom directly into your filtration system.
  • Weighted design – Designed to sit securely on the pond floor.
  • Correctly positioned base plate – Sets the dome at the required height to provide maximum draw across the bottom of the pond.
  • Suitable for uneven pond floors – The base design helps maintain water flow even where the pond bottom is not completely flat.
  • Pump or gravity fed – Supplied with fittings for use with either type of filtration system.
  • Easy to maintain – Designed for straightforward cleaning and servicing.
  • Fitting bag included – All versions are supplied with a fitting bag.

Aerated Version

The aerated version combines the same suction performance as the Weighted Suction Dome with integrated pond aeration. The movement created by the aeration helps move debris and solids towards the suction dome while also increasing oxygen levels within the pond.

This additional water movement makes the aerated version 30% more efficient at removing debris and solids. Increased aeration also benefits aquatic and plant life while assisting with the removal of harmful gases from the pond.

Air Diffuser

The supplied air diffuser features 3.16 metres of perforated tube and is designed to provide maximum aeration. The diffuser will begin producing finer bubbles after it has been submerged in the pond for approximately 30–60 minutes.

The air diffuser also includes 9 metres of 8mm air tubing, connected to a reducer with a 15cm length of 4mm airline. This arrangement allows the system to be connected using the smaller 4mm airline where required.

What's Included

  • Retro Fit Weighted Suction Dome
  • Base plate set to the correct working height
  • Fittings for gravity or pump-fed installation

  • Aeration components with aerated versions

The Aquacadabra Retro Fit Weighted Suction Dome is a straightforward way to improve waste removal from an existing pond without installing a conventional bottom drain. Choose the aerated version for the additional benefits of increased water movement and oxygenation alongside effective removal of debris from the pond floor.
