Top Job Dave dont know of anyone whos enjoyed changing the carbon, good to see you Saturday mate and again thanks for that favour you done for me, Top Man 👍🙏
Good video Dave. Hope you had a good day at the show. I saw you there on the Saturday, but you were busy talking to others for me to interrupt. Hope you're well.
@@HumberKoi Yeah there are a couple of places, quite expensive to get a proper test done. I think about £180. I am waiting on Yorkshire water to provide me deep results.
Hi Dave, A other great update on the pond and fish and the projects you have been doing a nice little informative video mate. Also I was just wondering if you have any spare mugs and your log books as I am disabled now and I am not able to do to much around the pond these days I still do all my water checks so I have started to collect mugs from the channels that I watch on RUclips and I have been flowing you for a long time now so I would appreciate it if you have any spare mugs and log books I would appreciate it if you could please let me have one of each I would appreciate it mate. Many thanks Steve
Nice one Dave. I've not seen the use of carbon mentioned on any of the other channels I watch.. Is this something many don't do or have I just missed it somehow. Got you the result though so that's great. How often do you need to rep!ace it ?
I just checked and it was 18 months ago when I replaced the carbon. Most people put bone char after their normal activated carbon to remove heavy metals. My chlorine out of the tap isn't that high so I was happy enough the bone char could cope. Thanks for watching
Happy days mate easy way to empty them big blues I just pop on it a bit of a angle and run the hose pipe up it and all the carbon runs out with the water no lifting it up or shaking it out like but someone told me that after I done it the hard way the first time lol 😂 Keep up the great work mate pond and set up is looking the hammer mate I still have that towel your wife made for me as well
Haha awesome fella... I ended up filling it with water multiple times and pouring it out. Hope you and the family are good, them boys are growing up time flies Bud 💪🏻
Horrible, messy, back breaking job. And then you have to bag the old stuff too. I never bought a large one but two medium ones connected to each other. One tip, if you can, when you fill in the new carbon, you can always put it in place and then connect a hose pipe for the outlet to run where ever you need to. So much lighter to lift when the carbon is dry.

Top work mate I need to consider getting a bone char pre filter
This is my first time using it, I have no way to test metals but hopefully I will see an improvement in the fish. Fingers Crossed
@@dkoi-tv you can send it to be tested can’t you. I’ll check my desk in certain I’ve noted somthing down regarding this

Thanks Bud appreciate you watching 👍🏻
hi pal i used my pond vac to take the carbon out it lot easier lol
You jammy sod! I don't have one 😢
Hi, 20 PPB is the safe number so you had life left in your old one.
It was 18 months old and I wanted to replace it for bone char anyway. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

It's a once a year job thankfully. I will fill it in place next year. Thanks for watching 🙏 hope you're well.
