Hi Steve. If your pumping waste down hill or only a very short distance that should be fine but I had to use a 12000ltr pump as its slightly up hill and about 18ft away to my drain. Also you don't want to be waiting too long for it to drain because it will take for ever to do a filter clean as it needs emptying 3 or 4 times to do a proper clean. 👍
Craig, any issues with the pump blocking due to leaves? I have tried a guard in the inlet to stop this but once leaves cover it stops the flow... Annoying! Also, have you made a custom stainless guard for the outlet? mine is letting k1 pass and is annoying EA no longer support the age of my model so got to make one.
Thanks for the comment. The filter shed is 9ft x 6ft.8inches
Yes I do have a venturi.
Nice video and nice set up of the filter system and your pond I would love to have a nexus. How do you like it?
Nice Setup Craig, what size pump do you use for the drainage? I'm assuming any pump will do as its only drainage but i'm thinking a 3500?
