WE got a used system, that the previous owner installed for us: Ultima 2 2000, and a sequence pump 750 series, also a UV sterilizer. He fitted a retro bottom drain with two openings (basic shower drain looking) prob, 3" each, into 2" pipie t'd into a flex 2 inch pipe into the pump. All made with white PVC. This is the prob: to mask the PVC I wrapped underlayment around the piping through the water and over the side, to mask the bottoms drains I layed a black rubber mat over it with a plant on top to keep the whole sytem down. The ends get blocked fairly quickly and the drain is placed where to clean it I have to get in to do it right, or at least pull off the plant, the matt, and pull up the flex pipe and clean, everyday. This does not seem the easiest way to hadle this? Could I T the pipe and outfit a section to go to one retro bottom drain, and possibly another going to a an inpond skimmer? Any thoughts would be very helpful, I got this system to make life easier, but it's more work than when I had my DIY submersed filter system going????help:bowdown:
