Pond Drain

Question:

Planning for a pond and am considering a bottom drain to make cleaning easy. Will the fish go “down the drain” with the debris? Thanks

Answer:

Pond Bottom Drains generally have mechanism that prevents the fish from going out with the water. Also, fish are generally opposed to “going with the stream” and will swim against it. There may be an occasional smaller fish that is already sick and does not have enough strength left to swim against the small current generated by a Pond Bottom Drain.
