 The Spindrifter bottom drain is known worldwide for its quality and design. This unit completely replaces the "Standard Bottom Drain."
The most noticeable feature of the Spindrifter bottom drain is the extra connection in the sump of the drain. This allows the air supply to enter the sump independent of the water outlet pipe, either directly down the pipe or via a hose thus eliminating the possibility of restriction to the water flow and somewhere else for blanket weed to attach.
On ordering you have the choice of a direct air feed, where the air itself fills the air supply pipe or a hose feed where a hose is fed down the air supply pipe and connects to the nipple on the bottom drain.
The membrane and backing plate on the Spindrifter bottom drain fit into a recess in the specially manufactured dome (provided). The recess in the dome prevents the membrane from becoming detached. The complete assembly is secured to the bottom drain by means of a stem, which also provides the air inlet. Most water pipe sizes can be accommodated, the customer to specify. The air inlet on the Spindrifter bottom drain is via a nickel plated connector. |
