This video is of a Bakki river i have made. This is the first one i have made that required a cleaning system and i am really pleased with this design.
@Adam Julyan , I noticed a slight bowing from the plastic due the length. Perhaps, in the future. You should consider the concept of adding a third baffle in the centre just to pull the stuff together. Other than that, it looks good. Neat idea to have a rim where you can plant stuff, providing an opportunity to hide it, with the appropriate plant.
Isn't it better to change the flow so that it goes through the media instead of just flowing over it? So in the beginning the water flows under a baffle and in the end over it if you know what I mean.
hi Adam... brilliant yet again best channel on you tube by miles, could watch you every day ive learnt sooo much you need to open up to the public so i can pay you a visit, thanks again
I got an idea for you, maybe next time you should put a few dividers in between with an opening on the side of course so it would force the water to go through like zig zagging. I thought this would help to ensure that the water flows through all the media, let me know what you think.
This solution looks to be an excellent option as I am unable to fit a bakki shower. Battling with nitrite on a 3 month old 18000 litre raised pond at the moment and this option would work really well. Would it be possible to discuss you constructing one for us and is it possible to return the water not on a tray but in via my 2 x 2inch returns.
Sorry bit late but I’ve been watching u-tube on supper yachts & on the boats there are water makers which clean sea water drinkable , you can get them at all sizes & prices . Now I don’t know but could it work on koi ponds ?
I'm a real supporter of Bakki Showers.. The Japanese just cant be wrong..!! and I'm really impressed with this latest idea from Adam the Bakki River. Very innovative and also space saving..!! not sure it will produce as much oxygen as a trickle shower but no issue if used in conjunction with air stones.. Really like this Adam, especially with the waste outlet you have added to it also. I could see this used in conjunction with a Bakki Shower. A Bakki Shower and River set up..!!
I'm looking at something similar, not a shower, just a slow moving river, instead of media, just planted do they absorb nitrites. What are ur thoughts? Do you make commercially or just for friends? Many thanks Andrew Duffy
Is siporax still the best media to use for a bakki river? i'm hoping to put one on the output of a nexus 320, I have only 9 koi (3 Tench 2 small goldfish) the pond is currently small only 3900 litres but will be dug out to aprox 12,000 litres next year... Kind regards Dave :)
i made one based on this design but the outlet is piped to a 5 foot waterfall with a glass sheet. same effect but the silky smooth flow is much quieter. and, no need to adjust the exit water if the gravity flow is correct.
Hello I like this design and I am considering having a go myself Could you tell me what's the make and model of your plastic welding gun? Also what kind of plastic did you use? Thanks
Great vid as always mate. The "Siporiver" looks great and the veggie section and cleaning valve are a clever addition. I liked the idea of the excess water being recycled through the sieve to regulate the flow back into the main pond too (I guess the owner didn't think it was necessary in the end). If you don't mind me asking, what was the cost in materials for it and what type of plastic did you use? Thanks Adam, keep 'em coming
Hya mate great video I have learned alot from your channel. Do you make showers to order I'm after a small shower to run a 3000 litre pond rather then a shower. Thanks again
This is what i could do with on my pond🤔, especially the added plant section, as i have high nitrate in the tap water & cannot trickle out the nitrate from the pond😕
Hi Adam, loving your videos. I have used Siporax in a wee filter thing I made for my sump after watching one of your videos and have another Siporax idea for an "emergency filter". Just wondering though how you fix the pipes into the bakki river boxes. Not really spotting bulkhead connectors nor Uniseals, just wondering now if they are heat welded in?
Hi Adam, Please could you post a link to what the material you used to make the filter? I have a plastic welder but unsure on what materials to start practicing with Thank you :)
Hi. I just want some advice. I am building a pond outside for my koi and here it is quite cold. So I want to know which type of pump and heater I can put. Please could you help me. Thanks
Adam hi, how do I make contact with you to commission one of these, it would be very large scale and I very interested to know costings please Kind Regards, Richard
YOUR A VERY TALENTED PERSON.....EXCELLENT JOB.....I GATHER FROM YOUR ACCENT YOUR NOT LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES......I WISH YOU WERE....I WOULD HAVE YOU MAKE ONE OF THESE FOR ME....TOTALLY AWESOME......
I really like that idea great explanation especially the front for planting up
Great work Adam. Personally I prefer rivers to shower filters. Much more quieter too. I think you could make these to sell.

yes, i had to add spreaders to control the bulge.

Hi there I've been impressed with the " River" that you make, how much would it cost for something like the one in the video.? 🐟

Hello
I like this design and I am considering having a go myself
Could you tell me what's the make and model of your plastic welding gun?

Nice work, something I'd like to have a go at myself. Where do you buy the plastic for a project like that? Many thanks, John.

Hi Adam
Great video very informative to a newbie pondkeeper... would you recommend Siporax in a bakki shower rather than the expensive bakki house ?
Adam, mate do you make these still? Available for anyone?
I’ve got a nitrite problem, nexus isn’t doing the job yet
Hi Adam , what size is the river please and how big is the outfall please as going to get one pressed up out of stainless , thankyou
hi Adam , did bakki river better then bakki shower ? is because all the biohome is submerge ?
This is what i could do with on my pond🤔, especially the added plant section, as i have high nitrate in the tap water & cannot trickle out the nitrate from the pond😕
