  • I had to wait a long time to get the pump so I could finish installing it. But now it’s here and we’re going to sweat it out in the filter room sauna to get everything hooked up so we can finally fire her up!
    There were a number of challenges building my filter room but I used the vertical space as much as possible to maximize how much space I have.
    I’m 6’2 and can easily fit inside the moving bed. I’ve approximated it is around 300gal.
    I built this moving bed filter out of plywood, polyester resin, fiberglass, and gelcoat.

    Great video, mate! Your filter room looks great, but at the same time your plumbing looks like a maze.😮 I hope you don’t get lost 😅

      My wife says the filter room looks like the windows 95 3D pipes screen saver. I know it looks like chaos but it’s relatively organized chaos 😅
