If anyone has any questions about this DIY filter build please feel free to leave a comment in the comments section, and thanks for watching 👌👍😀

@michaelflaven1051 6 дней назад

great job but the flow rate is going to change depending on the actual pump you use. I designed a similar system and my pump was pumping faster than the water could exit the barrels even with 2 inch pvc pipe. The barrels were overflowing so I had to install a pvc ball valve and slightly close it to slow down the pump flow rate to where it was perfect.

this was made 2 years ago mate and works just fine it did how ever need a few adjustments thanks for watching

Great job, those water butts are great , just bought one for a moving bed. Your System will work great. Amazing flow.

@edlesboroughkoipondstevech3546 2 года назад

Hi Gary, i suspect you need to put a larger volume of water through faster, i.e. from your pump set above the setting you intend to use for a true test. Also there is currently no allowance for the variables such as media, blanket weed and faeces which will slow the flow once into the system, increasing the size of the interconnecting pipework will also make a large difference 🤓🤓

@MrWiskin 2 года назад

Looks great Gary, but concerned the out flows will become overwhelmed! It was nearly to the top on just a hose pipe flow. Unless your going to run your Vari very low. As previously discussed, let us know yeah?

@GazsKoiPond 2 года назад

It only just went over half way on all 3 over flows and yes I am running a veriflow pump as well

you need to put the tank connector seals on the outside or water will find its way around the threads and cause a leak unless you have added silicone to the outside

No it won't its has ptfe tape around the threads, that product is designed to seal thread's, on plumbing and gas fitting, thats its soul purpose 👍👍👍

try cutting it to the size you want then heating it with a heat gun just enough to bend it to get it in the straighten it out again 👍

Done all that still no luck hah they are the same ones you have so u can imagine

@lateboomer88 Год назад

The filter design is very neat and compact. However, the first stage as flow settler is not sufficient to block a lot of fish mock. Therefore, I think you should incorporate Eazypod idea to have k1 media buffer in a separator container and attach to the outlet to block more fish waste and use aerator for backwash.

@GazsKoiPond Год назад

The filter works fine and has been all season this was just a test stage but thanks for your input, but no easypod will ever be going in or on my filter system!
