When I was shown the drain in question, I was told by the dealer it was a Rhino. He had two different ones on the shelf and may have confused this with the Spindrifter himself. If what you've explained is correct, and I have no doubt that it is, then it's a toss up if cost difference is negligible. As far as "code" what I meant was the depth spacing between the lip of the bowl and the top of the discharge fitting is considered code for gunite (minimun 3") where it is nearly 4" and can be tied into a rebar frame very easily.
Mike... yea, sounds like this dealer showed you a Spindrifter (air diffuser is connected via a hose routed through the main PVC line), and not a Rhino.

As noted, there is a price difference between the Koi Toilet and the Rhino. IMHO, it is a function of you get what you pay for. Hmmm... you really should check out the Rhino as an option, as I think you will find them to be a quality piece of hardware, and for some worth the extra cost. That said, I do like the Koi Toilet for some applications (I carry both).

Thanks for the code explanation. I went out and measured our Rhino display unit and found that it would have 4" of coverage over the main PVC pipe. So, I guess it meets code as well.

Kind Regards,
Bill
