Find the lowest point in your pond if possible. Dig the bottom of your pond at an

approximate 30° downward slope to create a small area where water flow can be

collected.

Install all necessary drainage pipes including a 3" elbow (90°) directly underneath the

lowest point in your pond. This is where the bottom drain will be installed.

Install the lower half of the bottom drain at the predetermined point in your pond,

attaching it to the PVC elbow pipe with PVC glue.It is important that this connection is

totally secure. When this step is complete, the installed piece should be recessed at least

" below the level of the pond bottom.

Install your 45 mil EPDM liner. After your liner is fully installed, locate the spot where

the lower half of the bottom drain has been installed underneath the liner, using your fingers find the six screw

holes located in the gasket and rim of the bottom drain lower half. With a white pencil mark your liner with the

location of the screw holes. Using an awl or punching tool, punch through the liner at the pencil markings being

careful that the diameter of the punched hole is not wider than the diameter of the screw hole in the rim of the drain

underneath the liner.

Apply a light coating of silicone sealant to

the liner in the circular area directly covering

the screw holes. Then align the screw holes in

the upper half of the bottom drain with the holes

punched in your liner, using the six flat head

machine screws provided attach the upper half

to the lower half. It is important that the studs on

the rim of the upper half of the drain should point

upward, the flat surface of the rim should be flush

with the liner. Do not over tighten! At this point

the liner should be firmly sandwiched between

the halves of the bottom drain, and the rim of the

upper half should be level or slightly below the

bottom of the pond. This will create a final drop

into the drain.
