Holey smoke, there was a lot of blanket weed on the disc 😳. Great job with the clean-out, hopefully that will resolve your flow problems 🙂. Looking forward to seeing you at the Koi Collection open day
Pleased to hear that your knee is feeling a bit better. 🦵🏻🙂Wow, that was a lot of blanket weed in your upflow filter. No wonder the water flow had slowed. Now that it's cleaned out it should definitely work better. Will be interesting to see if changing the air direction makes a difference. Looking forward to your pond visit video. 👍🏻
Another great video Andy, couldn't believe how much algae you have in your upflow filter, mate. I must be the lucky one as I don't get issues with it, maybe because I salt my pond and keep it at 0.3%. I have an EA Tempest but have no issues with blocking, but I do clean it by putting air into the filter.
My upflow filter wouldn't bubble the media, I purchased a bigger pump which helped but I'm going to try your alterations, it looks like that's the solution 😊
They recommend that this water polishing filter goes after the main filter, is your directly off a pond pump? Need to get some hydrogen peroxide in the pond to kill off all the blanket weed👍
Thanks, mate, and yes, it runs off the skimmer line, which usually has a basket in to collect and trap any debris etc but I have a temporary pump in there which is stopping me using the basket at the moment. Andy
Hi mate. I purchased it from here, they have various sizes. Hope it helps. clearplastictube.co.uk/index.php?route=product%2Fproduct&path=35_57&product_id=179

Top tip Andy turning the pipe round 👍better movment and it cleans the bottom disk out too 👍

Should have done it ages ago, not enough hours 😂

Hi Andy could you tell me where you bought the tubing for your up flow filter, the ones I’m looking at are very expensive. Thank in advance
