Hi, looking at this you need a bigger pump on that if thats the sort of crap you get out of you bottom drain every week . The flow is to slow thats why it so dirty .
Yes mate, I used to have to put on old clothes, climb into the filter pit and take out 8 big brushes, Jap matting and alfagrog, hose it all down then hoover out the bottom of the bay filter and vortex. Then put it all back, the purge may look a bit timeous but it beats being up to my elbows in crud.😊.Cheers.
You’ve got that bottom drain purge via the sieve down to a fine art, very impressive👍😊. Would you upgrade your hoover to one that gives continuous suction to make it easier and quicker? How often do you do that deep clean (apologies if I missed it in the video)? Keep up the good work👍🈲🐟😊
Continuous suction sounds great, I'll look into it. I do the deep clean once a week and purge the bottom drain once every two weeks. Thanks for the hoover idea and thanks for watching. Nick.
@@pomfretspond588 Hello friend, I'm from Brazil and I love your videos, could you sell or donate a filter like this? I pay for the export shipping here in Brazil I don't have to wait
Sieve working a treat 👍🏻 looks tedious having to purge like that though, consider a new hoover that doesn’t need to keep stopping to empty or new waste piping on sieve that empties via gravity or a sump pump or t ing of pipe so it bypasses the sieve? I was surprised how much crud came through on the purge, how often you doing that?

It's got some draw when you purge that bottom drain 👌👌👌👌
Yes, great satisfaction.😊😊👍👍
pond looking nice
Thanks👍
Ok that looks so satisfying. Weird I get I kick out of vacuuming the bottom of my pond.
Yes, very satisfying and it seems to clear my head. lol👍
@@pomfretspond588 😂
That's a good purge mate 👌👍
Yes, feels very satisfying👍Cheers.
Yes very satisfying.👍
Great idea to use the vac that way :)
Yes, I couldn't just put a tap on the sump drain because once installed I couldn't get to it. So I had to improvise. Thanks for watching.👍
I don't miss getting my hands wet cleaning filters 👍👍👍

That worked better than I thought it would, must be some suction on that vacuum cleaner.
Yes pretty satisfying.😊👍

How low below the water level is the top of your cetus sieve? My pump keeps running dry and shutting down 🤦♂️ only using 2" pipework though 🤔
The weir moves up and down according to the water level. So the the top of the weir is always the same level as the surface of the pond water. Thanks.

With cetus sieve filter, what is your pump capacity?
