Product Description
Heavy Duty RHINO 1 Bottom Drain
Quality materials and superior construction differentiates the Rhino over other Spindrifter type drains. Rhino Series I drains are vertical discharge in your choice of 2", 3" or 4" pipe.
The Rhino I has been manufactured since 2003. With thousands of trouble free installs, from small home ponds to major commercial fish handling tanks to hydroponic field beds, the Rhino I is a very durable product that weighs in at over 4 pounds. Watch out for material conserving injection molded drains that although are produced in standard sizes, they have so little material that they can weigh in as little as 1#, and do not even have a Sch 40 basic plumbing rating.
The Rhino II brings commercial quality to your pond at an economical price. All Rhino drains are made from Schedule 80 PVC and designed by computer generated machine fabrication and are thermal welded by hand to assure top quality dependable welds. All Rhino drains can be installed with extreme confidence in any application by beginners and experts alike. A bottom drain can be said to be one of the most important parts of a pond installation, in that it’s integrity is paramount to the success of the entire project. Compare the engineering of Rhino bottom drains to any on the market, and you will see the evident quality.
A few of the problems associated with the Spindrifter have been alleviated in the Rhino design including;
- Thicker flanges and liner attachment ring that will not flex or crack
- All attachments are machine fitted for extra strength with no need for gap filling
- All joints are hand welded resulting in more strength than the speed welds used on the Spindrifter
- 3" height over the horizontal discharge port for more concrete over the horizontal discharge port (the Spindrifter requires a collar to increase the height over the drain)
- Direct pipe connection into the air bladder (the Spindrifter requires you to snake an air line through the pipe)
- Rhino air drains contain an air check valve to prevent water entering the air line.
- Rhino drains are American made and cost less than the Spindrifter!
What is the key difference in a Rhino Drain?
Rhino drains are not injection molded! Injection molding is typically used to mass produce products for the retail market. Other than mass production, injection molded products are typically designed to use minimal quantities of raw material to produce products in shape and form at the minimum amount of cost which of course allows those products to either be sold cheaply and/or produce high profits.
A bottom drain is the first thing to be installed in your pond and the last thing that you want to fail!
