Tempest cleaning - 4 days only! Great results!

- Four days after installing the 2 Tempests we decided to clean them. The video was supposed to be just to show how the units clean as many people have asked. However we couldn't believe how much waste these units caught. We were surprised.
K1 is well known for being very buoyant when first used and takes a while to saturate, when this happens in the Tempest we will see a better agitate from the syphon system.
I liked how big the bubbles were that came up to agitate the media, when the K Plus is saturated it will work even better!
Then take into consideration when the media actually matures... This could be something really good.
Please remember. This is an add-on filter and great for smaller ponds. If you have a skimmer line, or a spare return then these are ideal.
The EA Tempest is available to pre-order at qualitynishiki...
Really interested in 2 of these bad boys, i think they going to be the biggest selling koi addition of 2021.
Keep in touch when these hit the market..👍
Really interested in this as an add on to my current filter set up. Great vid guys!
I’ll keep testing and update again in a week or so
Looking good and more aeration into the pond aswell pretty impressed 👍🏻
Any extra filtration without costing anything to run as it can be linked into the surface skimmer to pond heater has to be a winner. It’s also very neat with a small foot print. I can see them used on pre built ponds along with a UV.
We were saying the same yesterday 👍🏻
Always love a good filter video 👍well impressed
Can't beat a filter video! Thanks
Thanks for the video Tim. Very interesting results. With regard to your food going down the skimmer what I do is place an air stone directly in front of the skimmer and turn it on just before feeding. This stops the food from going down the skimmer. Happy New Year.
I think when I finally get some Koi for growing I’ll do a proper feeding ring
Looks a very promising product could be the way i go to improve filtration on my small pond. 👍
I think so too mate
Looks like it is getting those fine particles. We will install as well.
Evening all looking forward to this see if it’s worth while buying 👍🏻😀
It’s only worth buying if it adds to the system mate. Not just for the sake of it
@@TimWaddington cheers mate
That looks promising! 🤞🏻😉
Definitely 👍🏻
Kind of disappointed that the latest invention from EVA is a fluid bed filter, Drums are really the future of Koi keeping, Was expecting a revolutionary drum filter from EVA ?
I don’t think they ever will.
Draco drums do a add on drum to fit in the 320, worth a look if thats what your looking for.
Thanks for update Tim :)
Looks like a game changer
Looks promising Tim will be great to see it after the media has sunk.
I can’t wait 👍🏻
Looking good Tim and looks like it could be perfect for my bakki shower as at the moment it goes straight from the skimmer to the shower due to preexisting set up
Great vid be interesting to see a follow up in a week defo a market for those
Hi Tim thanks for sharing great video once the media settles down and matures would you expect to clean these once per week in the season and guessing less in the off season will you be stocking these if so any idea when will they be available to order.
Cheers
Dave.
I really don’t know Dave, I guess it depends on the pond and flow rates. I think the ones I have will do once a week but there are many dirty ponds out there. We will keep testing.
There’s a link on the post to pre order. I think mid February.
A tempest filter looks good looks promising tho wonder is EA upgrade cleaning system
Interesting bit of kit there Tim, Would they work as a pre filter in front of a bakki? Do you know when they will be available? Thanks Martyn
Don't think they would as you need high flow over shower
When will they be ready to ship Tim?
I’m being told mid February Mark
I'm looking at using this as the only filter for 320 gallon pond not koi though.... I noticed you didn't have air connected to the tempest or is that the video not catching it ?
We don’t connect any air. Just let it do it’s thing
@@TimWaddington on the instructions it says to connect air pump to agitate during cleaning but If I don't have to buy on that'll save me £ lol
@@TimWaddington my system is 320 gallon 37" deep goldfish,tench,rudd n babies with pressure filter 11,000 it's a pain cleaning in winter n bad weather so the tempest appeals to me for replacing the pressure filter and Sponge cleaning
@@magpiemale it would work. Just be patient with it. It will take a bit of time to mature that’s all
@@TimWaddington thank you for the reply I know your busy love the videos
Could you make one of these from an old EA charcoal filter?. Zero cost.
Using the 10mm in and out? Probably get 100L an hour through, maybe.
It's available to pre-order here guys: qualitynishikigoi.com/product/new-evolution-aqua-tempest/
Anything that can help get rid of fines in the water
I never expected that much to be honest.
Hi Tim, do you know if this filter will come with a stand so that it can stand on its own? Or will it have to be bolted or mounted to the side of the pond .
Comes with mounting brackets I believe 🤙
Does the tempest come with the slide valves arleady?
Yep complete with the valves
Would love to add 1 to my 1000 g. pond just curious on the price . Bakki showers are so damn expensive
&249 when they put in February
If that's a valve on the top of those filters open them it will empty faster.
I could and will try next time but maybe they empty at the correct speed.
Hi Tim, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you? I'm planning to build a new pond within the next year. It's in the middle of Tokyo, so it can't be as big as the previous one, but that's the way it has to be. So if I do build a new pond, I want to be the first person in Japan to use the system you recommend, not the usual ponds in Japan. There are a lot of people recommending different systems, but if I decide to adopt one, will you help me ?よろしくお願いします！！
I’m great! How are you? Would be nice to see a pond in Tokyo! Yes we can help of course. Good to hear from you.
Can they be used for an underwater return if I direct piping downwards ?
Yep
Cool, I’m in....my pond will only be 1200gallon and this should be enough along with my easypod hopefully 🙏
@@crimewavedelta7879 perfect.
Been looking for for something to from my skimmer and this looks perfect now I know I can direct piping back down for an underwater return....
Wouldn’t a really fine mesh strainer in the skimmer do the same job?
No, you would block it too easy and dry the pump out.
Piękne pozdrawiam serdecznie łapka w górę 👍👍👍👍👍👍
from what i have read on the literature it says it can be used as a stand alone filter but doesn't specify a recommended size if you were to run it as a stand alone?
also is there space in the unit to increase the amount of k1 that is supplied (7litre) to 12-14litres as the total volume of the unit is 28litres and with a fluidized bed is usally run with roughly 40%-50% of the volume K1?
The flow rate gives you the pond size really. So optimum 5000L per hour. So they are saying a maximum of 1000gallons. You can’t add media. Sealed unit
@@TimWaddington Not being able to open it puts me off completely.
@@TimWaddington I imagine you could run it on a 100 gallon pond up to the quoted size of 1000 gallons
Interesting BUT be looking to see it in few weeks time !! 🤔
A bit pricey for what all it is🤔 I think if under £200 would sell better !!
Of course, that’s why we are testing them out. Price is the price I guess, I can’t control that, I think the price point is good. We will see.
We have sold a lot on pre order so people are seeing the benefits to their systems
Hi Tim would this be ok as filter from skimmer to heat source pump ?
Thanks
Perfect 👌
Cheers Will look at next clean and give you a call was looking at multicylone may go for tempest thanks
Hi, I have made new Pond and I am looking for the filter.
Is it possibe to run one dirt chamber and this new filter with additional uvc lamp- would this be enough for the 15.000 lit pond?
When is possible to order to Germany?
Thanks
You will have to be more specific. One of these cannot run a 15,000L pond. It depends what else you are using. They will be available from the Evolution Aqua dealers in Germany in March 👍🏻
@@TimWaddington Hi,
I am using additional 1 chamber filter and uvc lamp 80 w,
How big is your pond, you have mention it in Video...
It’s 4000 gallons but it has a 30” K1 micro bead filter too. This is just an add on filter
@@TimWaddington Ok as a second filter to use it I was thinking also,
What is the price range & is the price for one tube or two like on your video?
Thanks
They are £249 each. Great for skimmer lines and can be joined together
I have a nexus 210 and don`t rate them ,so i put the drum in and they work well together . This is not as good as a drum sorry don`t waste your time.
Who said it was a drum. At a price point if £249 its certainly cheaper. Many people just don’t see or understand the scope of these units.
Sorry Tim but it's just a vertical easy, if you ran a Nexus on the pond it would be completely pointless, that's not me bashing EA, I run a first-gen 200 and Cetus sieve and they do the job fine, but I'm sorry I don't see the point in this one, keep up the good work and content
What about a skimmer line? What about before a black box filter? What about on its own on a 500/750 gallon QT tank? You just writing it off because you don’t see the applications?
@@TimWaddington I'm not writing it off, I just don't see the point, you advertised it as a water polisher on your install video, to quote you 'it's designed to be installed as additional filtration after a filter' .. 'before a black box filter' Seriously Tim who are you selling fish to? You are running a top-end koi outlet that organizes trips to Japan to hand-select fish for your customers, these people are not running black box filters, these people are running drums/nexus/showers on their heated ponds and QT/Grow on ponds? It's a pointless product in a world where 'easy pods' exists. Let not fall out and get on with our lives, all the best
@@yanbbrox wow, bit snobbish there mate. We have many clients who run none EA filters and even home made etc. I see a massive market for this, I really do. It’s hard for people to accept change. The majority of fish keepers have tiny ponds and tiny filtration.
Almost half the price of an eazy pod (and that’s before you’ve bought the air pump which is needed to clean the pod) a much smaller footprint and far simpler cleaning process so already some positives to those of us who are new to the hobby and/or on a smaller budget than others so I could definitely see there being a decent market for this new filter !
I should add that I’m in no way insulting the pod I actually have one myself and am more than happy with how it performs as a filter on my small pond 😁 but could definitely see some advantages to this new system and look forward to seeing the updates on its performance in the future ! Great channel and love the content 🙌🏻 liked and subbed
If you left the top slides open I sure it would empty quicker.
Hmmm possibly but then it might not clean correctly
