build your own bottom vacuum drain

[Remydog]

Anyone have a way to build a vacuum drain much like the Tetra or the
spindrifter? Seems silly to pay so much for something you can throw together
with PVC.

Thanks.

Well, Greg Bickal did, but you'd have to buy his CD to get the full
instructions: http://www.geocities.com/bickal2000/pond.htm ~ jan

(Do you know where your water quality is?)

I'm constructing a drain similar to the Tetra bottom drain and expect
total cost to be around $15. I'll post pictures explaining how I
built it in the next few weeks (link below).

Looking forward to seeing what you came up with. I 've heard of people
taking a dome-shaped trash barrel lid and attaching a shower drain at the
top.
