Ah that’s awesome! This setup has worked really well for me so far! Hope your build goes well, and I’ll definitely be putting up some more vids of how I built this, and my future plans :)
Hi James, I leave the pump running when I put the filter to drain, if that’s what you’re asking? I also turn the pump up to 100% so that I get maximum pressure through the filter.
Hi mate, thanks for your reply, apologies I'm abit of a newby with these external pond filters, so I have the pump and filter (1 mains socket for each) do I just leave the pump & filter running as normal but just turn my filter to drain and that's it, so I'm not turning anything off or back on ?
@@JamesCleaver-hq6xj gotcha! I do momentarily switch the pump off, before it turn the filter to drain, and then turn it back on again. Likewise, when I switch the filter back from drain to filter, I will do the same. This is because as the lever on the filter turns around it will cut off all flow for a second, so turning the pump off when you do that, prevents any back pressure from potentially damaging the pump. I don’t switch off power to the filter which will be for the uv. Hope that helps! :)
@@chazkoi perfect thankyou, gotcha so don't touch the power to the filter and just turn the pump off for a few seconds each time between moving the lever , appreciate your help
@@thatyoutubeguy3691 hey mate! I bought it from my local garden centre, I think it’s Hozelock branded hose, but I’m not 100% sure on that. I tried using Oase flexi hose, but it was too rigid.. have a look at this video where I plumbed it all in th-cam.com/video/DZBcQ9Ik7jY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gTB4QaSF2yYJcAu-

Do you leave the filter running when you empty the water out of the drain pipe? As on quite a few videos people turn the filter off first, msny thanks
