Hi that looks like tricky job cant you fit amalgam submersible uv in your drum on the clean side this is what I have on my profidrum when I purchased it from Darren at Absolute kio he put in a proper tank connector for me before I received delivery from him the point I am making is mine was two years old September this year the drum screen never needs cleaning and is still as clean as day one.This means I don’t have to have separate uv unit just food for thought.How is your next part of your roof project coming along? looking forward to seeing next instalment.👍
Mad about koi, I'm mad about your koi they look beautiful my friend 👍👍 The drum definitely needed a clean I don't think I would use brick acid in the pond tho I be to scared 😂😂 Brick acid is pretty strong but I've heard alot of people use it to clean all different stuff like alloy wheels bring them up like new 😂😂. Hope all is well my friend👍👍👍 Well done on hitting 2k subs 👍👍
Never had problem with amalgam submersible uv changed bulb recently you need to change them every 22months or 16000 hours I think of top of my head 🤔 when changed it over you could see old bulb had seen better days but every 22 months or so I am ok with that also found cheaper supplier in London than any where else online and any pond shops lol.You sound as tho you have been very busy with your pond roof any video coming soon so we can have a look at cheer for now.👍
Haha, i know shortest ive done for a while! Will have my temperature monitor video out over the weekend, then theres the 2nd part of the roof build and the pond questions video still to finish!
I mean the separation board inside the drum filter, which separates the drum into 2 sections of clean water side and dirty buffer side. Anyway, I found the website which says is polypropylene material. May I know its thickness?
If you add a UV in your RDF, you’ll NEVER have to clean it like this again. It will stay permanently pristine. Go to Wrighty’s TH-cam channel. He has a video showing what he did and the results
That looks extremely labour intensive and you'll forgive me if i dont put acid anywhere near my filter or pond! Get yourself some virkon and this would have been a lot shorter!
The amount of acid actually used is minimal. It doesnt have any effect on the pond at all. Ive done this several times since with no adverse effects. An even better solution is a amalgam UV within the drum however ive always been concerned at how the UV effects the seals within the drum.
Good video and good bit of drum and bass 👍🏻
I had one of these filters, I used a pressure washer every 3 months or so to clean out the screen, worked a treat.
Yes a few people do that matey. However you got to be careful with the pressure as ive heard some stories of split screens using jet washers
@@madaboutkoi uv in the drum keeps it clean ;)
@@smithmiesterman always been nervous of the UV degrading seals etc inside the drum
Thanks for your advice how to clean the screen and I’ve found the same brick acid from toolstation keep up the good work 👍
Nice drum. Good video.
Congratulations on hitting 2k subscribers. Well deserved.
Cheers fella, means a lot 👍🏻😀
Great vid
Deff needed a clean ,think Mark could be right about that UV, Wrighty fitted one and it's doing a good job on his drum.still love those fish mate.😁
Thanks fella, oh it was desperate mate. The flow rate was probably less than half of what its capable of

Cheers fella. Yeah im considering using a one in there. I was just concerned about it damaging the plastic seals.
Oh and the roof is coming on great. Cladding done, insulation done, lats in place for tile system. Just im short of a few tiles 🙈🙈

Yes will be filming an update tomorrow matey
That screen deffo needed doing lol, when's the next video mate? this was to short haha

May I know the drum's water buffer board which looks like 1 inch thick is made from what material? Is it fiberglass or some kind of plastic?
The black moving bed?
I mean the separation board inside the drum filter, which separates the drum into 2 sections of clean water side and dirty buffer side. Anyway, I found the website which says is polypropylene material. May I know its thickness?
Thanks.
Is it not possible to remove your screens ?
Probably yes but would imagine its a hassle getting them on and off. Much easier this way
If you install an UVC filter inside your drum filter box, your mesh will stay clean without acid cleaning.
Always been nervous about using them incase it degrades any seals within the drum.
If you add a UV in your RDF, you’ll NEVER have to clean it like this again. It will stay permanently pristine. Go to Wrighty’s TH-cam channel. He has a video showing what he did and the results
Yeah ive considered it. I was just concerned at the UV attacking the seals
That looks extremely labour intensive and you'll forgive me if i dont put acid anywhere near my filter or pond! Get yourself some virkon and this would have been a lot shorter!
