What size air pump do you have for the bio side please
Your koi are perfect.
Thanks
Great pieces of kit Kevin, I have 2 of the oase drums due for a clean out and swap the screens over, great drum screen cleaner.
Cheers Gary,
I was surprised at how good it cleaned up the screens. You can actually see the colour change when I rinse them off.
@@AKoiEnthusiast I was using the oase one at first, but didn’t rate so I tried that brilliant stuff, I done mine monthly it’s surprising the build up on them.
Nice one mate handy having spare screens 👍
Thanks 👍
I own the Compact M, i have a couple of questions on your Compact M if you have time to answer. 1. How many cleans a day is your unit doing on average? Mine is reporting over 600 a day at the moment and one day it reported over 1700. Wondering if it’s a software issue? 2. Do you get a leak from the area where the cables come out of the filter body on the left? Mine leaks half a cup of water a day, seems like the cloth on the underside of the lid gets wet and it finds it’s way along the cables.? Many thanks.
Hello and may I please ask a couple of questions, I'm looking after my old mans pond while he's in hospital. Where do you but the Zhongle Air Stones from as one isn't working and how often do you change the Hel-x13 Biomedium (40L)?
The Air stone can be bought from Oase but it is expensive. If you speak with Andy at Fiveacre Pond Supplies - Chesterfield www.fiveacrekoi.co.uk/ he also has them at a fraction of the cost. Regarding the Hel-x13 I've never swapped it as it should really last for ever. It will turn a green coloured but that is the Bacteria growing and working well.
How media can go in this filter ?
I'm confused I thought the whole point of the drum was that you didn't have to worry about cleaning I was thinking of one of these in the future but that changing the screens really puts me orf especially for the price
Cheers for watching. I didn't make it clear but you do not have to swap any screens. Some people do not even clean their screens but it depends on the water and throughput. Sometimes they can get a little scaled up, so people use a form of cleaning agent like in the end part of the video. Wear & Tear will have an effect on any filter unit. Trust me when I say this but if I added up the time I actually get my hands wet with this unit it would be less in 12 months than I ever did each week with a Multy Bay or Eazy pod. There's nothing worse than cleaning brushes and they flick fish poop into your eyes. The Video was more about HOW I clean my screens (Annually). I know other people with different units clean the screens more often.
@@AKoiEnthusiast that eases the mind a little mate thanks 👍👍👍
I've had the same unit for about 7 years now I've never cleaned the screens. I have replaced all 6 of the screens now when they split. It was 3 or 4 years ago when they started to go. So I just bought a set and replaced the last one a month ago. That's all I've done in 7 years. I think that's pretty good. One of the reasons I got it was because it had 6 separate screens, all the others have just one so if it gets damaged you have to replace the whole thing. And the dealer I bought it from were using one without a built in moving bed and they hadn't even had the lid off in 4 years.
@@AKoiEnthusiast I’ve just got an Oase same as yours that’s EXACTLY what I was told the maintenance is minimal
Plus it’s one moulded piece of heavy duty plastic
Not welded together so no seams can split due to damage from sunlight
Also you can alter the screens to different gauges
I believe Siemens manufacturer the electronics , made in Germany it’s gonna be well made
I’m amazed as to why these filters are not sewing up the market
Thanks for video
Hi Kev, just come across your videos which are great so have have obviously subscribed. Just inherited the same ProfiClear set up as you have at our new house. Having a few issues understanding everything and cannot seem to find a local expert so might ask your advice. Will watch all your vids first though, many thanks
Cheers Ray. Check out my Facebook page or Website and ask me any question you want on those and I will try and help you out.
How loud is it when operating?
Thanks for the question. The Specs say it is less than 70db and it only runs for a max of 20 seconds. To be fair it isn't load enough to annoy neighbors or bother you if you are sat in the garden. I struggle to hear mine when I am sat in the garden.
Great video - really useful tips. i have the same drum filter however my running level does not reach near the top as yours, it gets to about half, just enough for the water to pass through, any idea how i increase the water level to the top?
Cheers for watching. The only way you can raise the water level is to lower your filter unit. It needs to be at the top level with the pump turned off. Then when the pump is running it will sit just above the minimum level.
I keep getting error 33 any ideas
Another good video 👍👍just a quick question the air stones do they just pull out ? or is it a twist ? Or do you have to undo the air pipes i have the same drum filter and never gave it a thought to change the air stones 🤔🤔🤔 and i would be interested to know where you got the sieve cleaner from
Take care and stay safe 🌈🌈🌈
Cheers for watching. I noticed last year that one side was not moving as much as the other side, so I swapped them and cleaned them for this year. They do just literally pull out. It is a moulded plastic clip and they are just held in place. Easy to pull out. I take them to work and blow them out with an airline then power wash them for next year.
Hi Kevin I've got the same drum as yourself would like to pick your brains over a few issues .
Thanks for watching Jimmy. E Mail me at info@akoienthusiast.co.uk and I will try to help if I can
How are you getting on with your drum filter a year on. I'm looking to upgrade my easy pod
I've had it up and running about 5 years or more now and apart from cleaning the mesh's annually I've never really had to get my hands wet let alone dirty. Best Filter I have ever had. I've had a Multy Bay, then an Eazypod and now this and if I had bought it first it would have saved me a lot of hassle and money
@A Koi Enthusiast thanks for the reply. I now know I will be getting one. Apparently, we go to the same koi shop lol
@@mrgibbs7916 You won't get any better help, advice or service from anyone better than Andy. Mention me to him
What pump do you use? It is already cone with the oase pump?
I use a PondXpert Variflow 30000 Pond Pump. The reason I use so a large pump is
1. The water runs through 6 Metres of Pipe including a UV and an ASHP so due to coefficient of Friction I lose about 40% of the Flow rate. A 20,000lph pump would be fine is you have a short return with nothing connected
2. A PondXpert Variflow 30000 Pond Pump running at 50% will move more water than a 20,000lph pump at 100% but only use 90Watts rather than 150watts. This gives me sufficient water to maximise the throughput efficiency of the Filter at minimum running costs
Hi Kev, I'm beginning to think mines not destined to get used, it's never been tried obviously and it's out of warranty, stay safe.
Rob.
Cheers Rob, Patience my friend will make enjoying the rewards even sweeter.
@@AKoiEnthusiast I bet you will only need 1 guess what's just arrived to put a smile on my face, and no it's not a naked lady although that would work as well lol.

@@robertnicholls9409 Box Weld Liner ????
@@AKoiEnthusiast correct👍, still a long way to go but getting my liner I can start to see the finish post in the distance yippeee.

Hi Kev. Looking at buying one of these filters for my pond
At the moment I’ve only got a small pond 2800 L with a 5000 pump on it
I see on your data that the filter is a minimum of 7000 Going to buy a bigger pump and run it on seven will this be okay ?
I want to double the size of the pond next year but just want to get the new filter fitted first
Thanks Martin
