Spindrifter Aerated Drain lid
Spindrifter Aerated Drain lid
The Spindrifter Aerated Drain lid replaces the standard dome on your 4″ bottom drain. The unit has a wide diameter rubber insert with thousands of tiny holes to allow the air flow to come out.
The air line supply can either be inserted inside the length of the bottom drain pipe – coming out at a convenient place near to where your Air pump will be situated, or it can, be simply run across the base of the pond to your Air pump.
stem fits 1.5″ pressure
- Ideal for all types of bottom drains if used in conjunction with the correct adaptors.
- EDPM rubber membrane which can be replaced.
- Suitable for up to 80 ltrs of air at 6ft depth.
Spindrifter 1 Inch Direct Air Feed Kit
Spindrifter 1 Inch Direct Air Feed Kit
The Spindrifter Direct Air Feed Kit allows you to hook up your air pump direct to the Diffuser; this means no Airline has to be threaded down the 1″ pressure pipe. This has a number of advantages but the main one is no water can find its way down the 1″ Pressure Pipe, which potentially will hold stagnant water and the dreaded blanketweed.
The Spindrifter bottom drain is known worldwide for its quality and design. The Spindrifter bottom drain completely replaces the “Standard Bottom Drain.”
The most noticeable feature of the Spindrifter bottom drain is the extra connection in the sump of the drain. This is where the machined Direct Air Feed connector glues in, supplying Air to the main diffuser stem. This allows the air supply hose to enter the sump independent of the water outlet pipe, thus eliminating the possibility of restriction to the water flow and somewhere else for blanket weed to attach.
The second part of the Direct Air Feed glues on the end of the 1″ pressure pipe which typically will be located in the filter house, enabling you to connect to the Air Pump.
This Direct Air Kit also prevents any back pressure, causing premature failure on your Air pumps.
Standard Black surface skimmer
Standard Black surface skimmer (In-Wall concrete or liner)
Pond Skimmers are a very important and fundamental part of any pond construction, yet are so often overlooked by some pond builders or designers.
Pond Skimmers are designed to remove floating debris, foam bubbles and dust from your pond’s water surface by suction, giving the water a polished look. These easy to install and relatively economical devices can save hours in cleaning and maintenance and really can improve the overall water quality of your pond.
A Standard Black Surface Skimmer can make all the difference between enjoying a pond and beginning to resent it. A properly functioning skimmer will collect leaves and anything else that lands on the surface of your pond and collect it into a basket, where it can be easily disposed of. Without a pond skimmer you are sentenced to a life of continually having to clean and remove debris from the pond’s surface. In addition, pond skimmers will remove all this debris before it has a chance to sink and degrade, help to improve the general water quality and aid in the prevention of extra strain being placed on our filtration systems.
Even if you were considering building a pond indoors you should still install a skimmer because in addition to leaves, they skim off the “Dissolved Organic Compounds” (DOC). Dissolved Organic Compounds will form in any pond, and if not removed will cause an unsightly film and bubbles on the water’s surface. Considering the little amount they cost, the benefits are tremendous.
The Standard Black Surface Skimmer is an important piece of equipment for any pond, but more essentially for the Koi Pond and it is more often forgotten about at the time of constructing the pond: most koi keepers wish they had put one in at the time of construction.
If you are going to build a new Koi pond then please don’t forget to fit one of these surface skimmers, on larger ponds two or more may be needed and these are built into the walls of the pond at the time of construction.

- Standard Skimmer for ponds upto 2000gallons
- Flow rate 800 to 1200gph
- Standard Skimmer throat width 190mm

Have you ever had your favourite Koi badly damaged or even die as a result from its injuries due to it getting stuck in your skimmer, and then having to place a bit of mesh or similar in front only to find the skimmer is not as efficient.
This virtually eliminates water tension on any bar on or near the water level allowing free passage of all surface debris. Anything vertical or horizontal will always prevent total skimming.
The guard itself is manufactured from plastic and completely at home in both fresh and salt water and will safeguard your fish for many years to come.
All the edges of the guard are polished and honed to an ultra smooth finish It is so simple to fit and takes just a couple of minutes.
All You need to do is remove two of the existing stainless steel screws, offer the guard to the opening and replace the two screws. Its that easy!

The choice of which type of pipework to use has always been a dilemma.
At Cotswold Koi we understand The importance of pipe work, mistakes made in pipework are one of the most common we come across and can be very costly and hard to change at a later date.
There are three main types of pipe work used on koi ponds:
- Metric Pressure Pipe
- Imperial Pressure Pipe
- Black waste pipe
The use of anything other than pressure pipe and fittings for both gravity and pressure lines is risky, the last thing you want is your bottom drain line leaking after all your hard work building your pond and is only a cost saving exercise, The added security and peace of mind that Pressure Pipe brings is well worth the extra cost. Unfortunately the use of pressure pipe and fittings in the past has simply been too expensive for the majority of Koi keepers, despite it being the preferred choice. here at Cotswold Koi we are looking to bring you a full range of pipe fittings for every occasion.
we are happy to provide assistance, should you need it, please Contact Us if you need assistance in choosing the right pipe work for your project.
