Does this item have a drain valve to discharge dirty water when you clean the media? If not how is this accomplished?

No, but this is supposed to be partially buried, so how would that help? It also isn't really designed for 'media,' rather a series of nets/rakes that block the passage of leaves/etc. which you then pull out periodically.

On the back wall, about an inch off the bottom of it, there's the host attachment. This is a threaded connection in which it comes with an adapter that screws into that and gives you the laguna quick click/fit connection.To drain it you could pop the hose off and let it drain but that will leave an inch of water in there. Also once the pump is turned off that feeds that hose the water drains down back into the pond, or so mine does (don't see why everyone else's wouldn't either).

There I no drain plug. Even if ther was it would not be accessible since the skimmer is dug into the ground. The only thing to worry about cleaning in it is the net and the brushes. Both slide out easily from the top.

This machine has a two part chamber. you fill one part with the cleaning fluid and water, the dirty water drains in the separated chamber. Makes using the machine easier and more efficient to use.

no they don't - theres a small hose that is attached to the valve above the float.. that goes to the drain box inside the toilet next to the drain flap. the hose comes with a small clip the can be attached to the the drain box...(the small hose isn't shown in the picture for some reason) hope this helps!! love the product -- i bought one for each bathroom!

No, But I got one cheap locally, It did come with a valve for the discharge/backwash hole

No, it does not. Also the sink has a flat bottom so draining is not like a normal sink.

Neil, if you are talking about the Water turn off valve, no. That is a separate item.

Does not have a port for drainage - just the standard method of dumping the tank when full - sorry

No. When water is turned on only the irrigator is on. Fortunately, I have two sinks in my bathroom so I am able to leave the irrigator attached. It would be great if there was a valve which would divert water flow.

Yes, the product has a drain however, drain hole is small and drainage is slow. I have the unit next to a sink, therefore - I manually empty the water out by just tipping it over to empty the water. The unit is heavy - so the process is rather clumsy. I would not be deterred from purchasing the product due to that issue.

Yes, it does. At the end of the discharge hose, you attach a large mesh pouch (included). The discharge hose is in the pond, and the water comes out the bag while the fine mesh screens most of the particles from going through the bag back into the pond with the filtered water. I recommend that you use a large rubber band around the bag rather than just relying on the drawstring. Also, make sure you watch the bag carefully as when the mesh becomes blocked with debris, the water can't exit anymore and the bag will pull away from the hose, dumping the unfiltered water and the contents of the bag back into the pond. Finally, make sure that the intake hose is level with the vacuum. The intake hose doesn't function well if it is even slightly upstream of the vacuum. Also, the vacuum must be on fairly level ground as the vibrations of the water rushing in and out will cause the vacuum to tip over. If you have rocks around your pond like I do, it's difficult to get the vaccuum level.

I've found that you can adjust power of the suction using the lever valve. By doing so, you can create enough suction to remove the mulm but leave the finer media behind.

Yes. There is one small wire filter that needs to be flushed. Once we rinse before placing items in the DW there has never been anything I'm the screen.

It doesn't have one. You just empty out the receptacle/barrel every once in a while. You didn't ask, but by the way, I'm very fond of this product. It's dramatically better than my old one.

Yes, there is a valve inside that attaches to the underside of the lid. We throw ours in the diswasher each night and that makes them a synch to clean. Even if we were to hand wash, it's still worth the slight bit of aggrevation to clean it. It simply does not leak.

Thank you for your question, You have to take it out, there is no draining tube. I hope you still buy it because it's worth it. I take mine's to Church, we are having a fish fire, were having a fund raising. 12/16/14 1:01pm

It doesn't have a drain. It's kind of open though, like smaller at the base and the top opening is bigger, so it gets some air. I haven't found it too bad with the mold and such. it's nice, and easy to clean.

No, no drainer. But its easy enough to tip over & let the water out. There's only a spout for inflation.
