[@FARMOORKOI]

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks Tony, it was confusing, but got there in the end 😬👍🏻

[@KeefesKoiHaven]

Glad to see you found that leak!! Looking all tidy now with the new ball valve in there!! Hope you, Graham & Bizley are doing well!! Spring is around the corner…. Well a few corners but it is coming!!! 😅☺️🌷

[@DerbyKoi]

Thank you my friend, I'm done with slide valves now. It's getting warmer ish lol.
All good here, hope your well 👍🏻

[@KeefesKoiHaven]

@@DerbyKoi All good here, I’m just bored waiting for warmer weather to come to get back to building projects!!! 😂😃❤️

[@DerbyKoi]

I can't wait to come home from work and relax around the pond, cup of coffee, and play footy with bizley 😀

[@ItsWhatIDo]

Slide valves are notorious for wearing out seals. I've had to do a few on my upflows. What I found was if you add some food grade silicone grease they last a lot longer. Fingers crossed the ball valves solve the issue for you.

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks for the tip, I won't be buying anymore for the future that's for sure 👍🏻

[@HumberKoi]

Just about to buy some ball valves myself glad your leeks sorted

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks mate, ball valves all the way for me from now on

[@chasingkoi]

Good to here u got rid ov that drip out of the bunker sir lol, cheers Terry,

[@DerbyKoi]

No the drip I'd still in there, the leaks gone through lol

[@mucky1957.]

I was in an airplane landing in Manchester when storm Isha was blowing at 70mph. For the last 5 min I dont think anyone was breathing..not pleasant. No damage to the pond or the pond covers fortunately. Pleased you got it sorted.

[@DerbyKoi]

I remember coming home from crete in a storm, I thought the plane was falling apart. Very scary. Glad everything was OK when you got home mate 👍🏻

[@StokeKoiAdventures]

Glad you got it sorted Andy , just thinking about the state of my shed, these jobs keep piling up lol. Great update😊

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks mate, and to be fair the shed tidy is still in the planning stage from 4 years ago. I hate being rushed lol

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Excellent one hand camera juggling mate😉... Happy Birthday... 🍾🍾

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks Andy, camera in one hand, cake in the other lol

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

@@DerbyKoi 😆😆🍰🍰

[@maddogspond]

I hate slide valves, but good update Andy

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks Glyn. Bloody slide valves lol

[@Crazyforkoiandgoldfish]

Nice job mate
I’m doing the same thing
Changing all my slide valve to ball valve in my rebuild of the pond this year 😎👌

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks mate, I'll be using ball valves from now on if I can, never had issues with those, have fun with the new build 😀

[@OrchardKoi]

100% with you on gate valves. They are made to leak 😂 ball valves all the way.

[@DerbyKoi]

I've had a few fail on me, lessons learned 🤪

[@AndysKoiPuddle]

Glad all sorted Andy. For my current small build I went for only ball valves as well, good plan mate…👍🏼

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks Andy. No more slide valves for me in the future 😬

[@AndysKoiPuddle]

@@DerbyKoi yeah quite right, another advantage for me having a small set up, not too many needed. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[@DerbyKoi]

😬

[@lloydskoi]

👍👍👍

[@DerbyKoi]

😀👍🏻

[@mykoiobsession]

Glad you sorted out the leak without too much problem. Slide valves have their place for sure but I agree ball valves generally do a much better job. Fingers crossed no more problems. 🤞🏻

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks Ken, never had an issue with ball valves ( I hope i haven't jinxed myself now, lol) hopefully all sorted now mate 👍🏻

[@CBersPond]

Nice update Andy 👍
I can't say as I've ever had any issues with slide valves.
Fingers crossed you've sorted it out 🤞
Hope you're all well.

[@DerbyKoi]

Thanks mate, I'm probably just to heavy handed lol

[@surreykoi]

If you don’t have any bushes actual 40mm solvent weld straights, elbows etc fit into those valves 👍🏼

[@DerbyKoi]

Good to know, thanks mate 👍🏻 👌

[@Zeamus634]

Why do people bother with slide valves when they're so unreliable? 🙉

[@DerbyKoi]

I won't be using them again if I can help it that's for sure 👍🏻

[@KoiKicks]

Cost!
