    If you put a gate on the outlet and closed it when you clean the filter , keep the pump on and it will jet clean the media

    This is a great idea if you understand
    Flow rate & water velocity
    150mm is not big enough max water flow rate at that diameter is around 3500lth you will require a 200mm tube to achieve 5000lth.
    Check dazzle koi’s video on TH-cam
    All about flow/velocity for these upflow filters.

    Mate you need a gate valve at the top too otherwise you won't get the bubbles coming in at the bottom to agitate the media.

      One will come with the filter as I didn't add one in the video as my shower has one but a gate valve will come with it so they will be 3 in total in the kit plus we are doing to size s. One at one 1m and a mini TOWER at. 50cm
