Rhino I

Description

Proven Durability. Commercial-Grade Construction.

The RHINO I Heavy Duty Bottom Drain is a trusted staple for pond professionals and DIY installers alike. In production since 2003, it has earned its reputation through thousands of successful, trouble-free installations—from backyard koi ponds to commercial aquaculture systems and hydroponic grow beds.

Weighing over 4 pounds, the RHINO I stands apart from lightweight, injection-molded alternatives that may weigh as little as 1 pound and lack even a basic Schedule 40 plumbing rating. Rhino Drains are engineered to deliver lasting structural integrity where it matters most.

Built for Strength and Confidence

All RHINO drains are crafted from Schedule 80 PVC, using precision-machined fabrication and hand thermal welding for unmatched strength and durability. The RHINO I offers the reliability of commercial-quality hardware at an affordable price point, making it ideal for both novice and experienced pond builders.

Key Features:

• Thick, reinforced flanges and liner attachment ring – Built to resist flexing, warping, or cracking under pressure.

• Precision-fit components – All attachments are machine-fitted to eliminate weak points and remove the need for filler materials.

• Hand-welded joints – Stronger than standard speed welds found in many competitor products.

• Injection molding avoided entirely – No thin or brittle parts that compromise durability.

Why RHINO?

Unlike many mass-produced options, RHINO Drains are not injection molded. Injection molding is typically used to reduce manufacturing costs by minimizing material usage—often at the expense of long-term strength. RHINO products are designed with durability first, using more material and better processes to ensure reliability over time.

Your pond’s bottom drain is the first piece installed—and the last thing you want to fail. With RHINO, you’re investing in proven performance and peace of mind.
