- This is the second part of the 10,000 Gallon pond in Kent. Its coming on and we have now completed the install and fibreglassing of the system.
We arrived at 9am on Thursday morning and then we completed the filter install by 10 am the following morning. This was just one guy.
So the pipes were close to the filter house for the returns, and the 4" and 1" lines from the Bottom drains were into the filter house. So we connected the Nexus units up, and broke the holes in for the 5 returns back into the pond. The returns were split into 4 from the Nexus both returning via a EVO110 UV.
One of our custom Skimmers was installed and this feeds a 24" Micro K1 Bead filter and returning via one return.
Both Nexus are running the Automatic cleaning kits.
Its a great pond and will run really well. The filter housing while small was a perfect size for the filtration.

Stunning pond. Can’t wait go see it up and running
lovely size pond, looking forward to seeing the end result
Great video, you actually showed the installation of the automatic system. Brilliant!!
Lovely job.
nice to see a pond that isn't a clone of all the others
What a fantastic setup, can’t wait to see the fill up and end result 👌
Fantastic pond with an amazing view!
Tanks for answering Timmy
I love a good install video. Everything is looking grand. Cheers.
Wow what a beautiful pond. I would agree if I could have a pond this would be a perfect size and design. It would have great flow on it. I’ve seen a few ponds done and I can’t help but think they are to small for koi. Looking forward to seeing this finished :)
Another awesome episode, brilliant Tim
Dream pond can't wait for the next part 👍
Evening Tim, that’s one big pond but like you say looks right 😎 Kevs made a pipe dream in the filter house looks pro 👍 can’t wait see water in and filters running

Hi guy doing a great job
Stunning pond think I see it also on robs Facebook profile lol 👍
Looking good
Awesome! Can't seem to find the final video.... :)
Cracking dream pond
What is the inside of the pound rendered in before the fiberglass , and if concrete what is the best concrete type and strength to use.? Also then hat type of fiberglass is this going on and how thick should it be.? How long will the fiberglass last before it needs to be refinished ? What color should the interior fiber glass be for the best look,are there choices? This looks beautiful ,I live in the US and would love to build something like this in my back yard . I have a 3000 gal koi pond now with concrete walls and a rubber liner , still going strong after 10 years ,I’m making modifications as we speak... love koi always!!!
Gday Tim
That's a good size Pond that, what sort of a Price would would that be to Fibreglass,
Hello Tim , why do you have the 2 Nexus and a Bead filter? I noticed that most of the filtration systems are like that? Thanks so much 🙏Keith From Texas
We run the Nexus on the bottom drains and bead via skimmer lines
With the uv being situated above pond level, do you have the turn them off when you turn the pump off to clean the nexus? How have you gone about that with the auto kit?
Hi Tim, this looks great! When you install the auto system on a Nexus do you install a non-return valve in after the pump to stop back flow during cleaning? Just wondering as I’m thinking of installing one on our Nexus and EA instructions say it’s required in some installations but not that clear why of when it’s needed. Thanks. Dave.
Yes you do have to mate
Quality Nishikigoi Great! Thanks for getting back so quickly! 👍🏻
would you mind sharing what weight/style of fiberglass cloth you use for ponds? Is it just chop strand mat with polyester resin?
Does look so simple , tim have you installed yourself the auto kits ,
I have yes, not hard at all.
Again is this water gravity fed into the filters or is it better to use pumps.?
Gravity is better to be honest.
You seem like the best guy to ask, would you know why the eazys out of the 320 wont fit on a 300 nexus, read that it wont but no reason given as to why when there the same diameter, don't really want to change the whole filters just for these, messaged ea but never got a reply, thanks
They changed the moulding tool on the Nexus when they went to the 310 and then the 320. There wasn’t an Eazy on the 300.
@@TimWaddington bought both my 300's brand new in 2006, both with easys fitted
Michael Zak and what is wrong with the current eazys?
@@TimWaddington Hi Tim, there the original design so are not vented from top to bottom like the new ones so tend to clog quite quickly due to water only flowing up from the bottom and not in from the sides also, plus wanted to go to the micro k1 for better polishing, thanks for your time mate
Michael Zak the design has changed over the models mate so I can see why the units won’t fit, the depth of the centre chamber has changed etc. I don’t think you will have much joy.
How would you guys go about solving the issue with a weeping 4 inch pressure pipe. Just installed a full EA system. 320 with Cetus, bead etc.
2 joints are weeping really slowly even after having 3 days to dry. Loads of glue used but disappointed this is happening. Is cutting the joints out and starting again the best option. The install was so neat and tidy a repair is going to spoil it.
Definitely need repairing I’m afraid. What joints are they on?
4” joint on the Cetus bypass. It’s not flowing out just maybe a drip every few mins. Another is in a 2” joint after a bead. I’m thinking that might get cut and have an eazy connector put over it.
Paul Wilson I have seen tiny leaks block up with algae but it’s always best to get them sorted.
Maybe try sealant that's used on the viewing glasses. Gold label is a good one, but not cheap. Try searching this one idealseal ms290. It's the same stuff sold by a different company, for a third of the price. If it's only a odd drip, it should do the trick. Algae will probably seal it from the inside as mentioned.
adam rudge yeah got a tube of gold seal and aquamate in the van. Used the aquamate to seal a 2m window in the pond. Worked well. Recently used the gold seal to repair a leaking fibrglass pond. Had to apply it underwater but it’s done the trick.
Is it only one layer of fiberglass?
Draught excluder?
What are the actual dimensions of this one? Absolute dream pond!
love the videos, but you need a wireless mic
If I had to carry equipment and set it up each time I’d never make a video. Just my phone and that’s it
Did you never do a conclusion vid to this mate?
gila... luar biasa
What is used for top coats?
Hi Tim, who is the fibreglasser I need him.
I am going to run a nexus sieve with a nexus 320 can i T two 4" bottom drain to make one 4" pipe to my sieve/nexus 320 set up.
Regards Peter
They shouldn’t really be joined, it’s not the best method.
@@TimWaddington thanks. Do you think one bottom drain will be OK. My new pond is going to be 21ft long x 10ft wide x 5ft deep. Or can you tell me please what is best.
Regards Peter
I think it would be better with 2 drains Peter, no point in making a mistake before it’s built
@@TimWaddington thanks so I use the sieve and 320 as one filter. So do you think I should have one bottom drain to sieve and the other bottom drain to 320.
Regards Peter
If it was me I would use 2 Nexus, one on each drain. It’s a big pond.
Jobs going
What rough price would you expect to pay for relining a pond? It’s roughly 25,000lts.
Thanks.
Adrian Johnson For a flexible liner custom fit you would be looking approx £1200. Did a 21,000 recently and that’s what I charged.
Paul Wilson would you be interested in having a look? We are in Devon.
Adrian Johnson contact Stephens Industires in Corsham, wilts. That’s who I do onsite installs for all over the country. Devon wouldn’t be an issue. I stick local for my jobs but travel nationwide for them.
thats a deep pond
Around 6ft probably
Hi Tim what’s Carl’s company called please
I’d like to know too
So so so.....
