If it works right and don't constantly clog with leaves and frogs, it should
remove the sludge and mulm that tends to collect on all pond bottoms. No
more drain downs like we have to do. But then if there are fry... you still
have to do draindowns to remove them.

I've never had mine clog with any of the above. Have you? ~ jan

My brother-in-law has a nice bottom drain with 2" pipe that outflows
to his skimmer. A few weeks ago he was checking the skimmer and found
a fish that had disappeared 4-5 months before.

It had apparently been living in the 2" pipe all that time and had
finally ended up in the skimmer.
