I have been asked to do a video of the Nexus cleaning with an automatic on it, also I have done a comparison by cleaning the Nexus 320 manually too. We also cleaned the 24" Micro K1 Bead on the same video, after people asked.
The Automatic systems are very reliable and work very well! If you work away, or go on holiday often then they are for you. I personally don't mind cleaning them manually but the Auto is a great bit of kit. We were the first people to trial them on outdoor ponds and they are still running.
These videos were taken at the Quality Nishikigoi facility, these are some of our own filters. These are what we use at the shop!
We run 6 Nexus 320's and 2 Nexus 220 at the shop along with 3 K1 Micro Bead filters.
You can buy the Nexus 320 at qualitynishikigoi.com/nexus-p...
Excellent, instructive and helpful thank you VM ❤️
Great video....just what I will be needing next week as soon as my one is installed
Brillant Video Tim, always good to see how things are done, so jealous at how mature your K1 is unreal :) thank for sharing takecare
Hi guys, can I ask, what the difference is between a gravity and pump fed cetus.? And can they be changed easily? I'm currently pump fed but going to gravity next winter. Would like to get a cetus now and change when needed if possible. Cheers
Great vid Tim thanks mate helps me big time
I agree 100% Tim, My K1 is nothing like the color of yours, it's brown.
This will come in handy I'm sure thanks. See you tomorrow (from a safe distance of course :D )
Brill vid Tim, do you make ponds for costomers throughout the country, or just in your local counties?
Loving the videos, there all brilliant. Just a couple of questions if that’s ok.
Under what sort of pressure does the micro bead get too and does it fall under the PSSR regulations, like wise with the treatments and water charges that you do, do you have any discharge consent limits imposed on by your local water authority?
I am just interested.
I deal with my local water authority and have to abide by strict discharge limits on lots of stuff and retain samples.
Do you have all your process written down as I could see some use for you to have those in place. Just a little bit of future proofing. Some with labelling flows of returns on your pipework etc. Thanks for all your quality videos. I am so going to making my small pond bigger at some point. I am very new to Koi keeping and only have four little 5” ones at the moment. I have learnt so much for watching your videos. Thanks 👍👍👍
Top Video Lads! How do's the nexus cope with Blanket Weed? Cheers
How far away from the pond can you install a Nexus 320?
Just watched the video would you still fit a purge line to bottom drain when I building my new pond
Hi Tim. another excellent video. the beed and the 320 is the exact system we talked about on the phone a few weeks ago. just wondering how much water you loose through manualy cleaning the nexus without the auto system. also how much water you loose when cleaning the 24 inch bead if you cycle it once??
Nexus none auto id say 200 litres. Bead 300 litres
@@TimWaddington brill. thanks tim
Keep the vids coming , did the
competition ever get drawn ? Cheers
Not yet. I’m doing a new pond update on Sunday, and will do the draw at same time
Ok thanks, just a quick question is there such thing as a low level retro bottom drain?as I made the school boy error of not fitting bd about 12 years ago
Hello, I'm thinking of upgrading my filter system. Currently, I have a Savo Skimmer box as well as a "Vortex" running off my 4" bottom drain. Would a Nexus replace the vortex? and I'd add a bead filter to my skimmer box.
Hi mate
Is it necessary to have the bead filter and the nexus 320?
I’m getting a 11x5x4 approx 6500-7000 litres tropical monster pond and wondering what to get , also working out best way of heating , maybe gas boiler and electric heater as a back up
And also in a summer house build insulated 20x12ft building so a full design I think I’ll need if you know anyone to help please
Hi Tim quick question are eazypods complete automatic any good for smaller ponds
damon stuchbury yeah they are fine mate. Just don’t push them on a big pond
@@TimWaddington cheers Tim
Good vid but for me part of the hobby is doing it yourself. Not a fan of the automatics. And the nexus does need a scrub with a brush n a rinse down with a hose pipe regularly. Love nexus mine has transformed my pond 👍
I've recently purchases an EA auto system and am loving it so far. I do have a question about the cycle time, is there a way to increase the cycle time to make sure the unit drains to waste fully? Mine is only draining halfway and I cannot find instructions on how to adjust, if it's even possible. Any guidance you could offer would be sincerely appreciated.
There is a way. Speak to EA and they will send you the instructions 👍🏻
@@TimWaddington thank you. Guess I should have checked the support pages first. Sorry for the inconvenience. I did find the instructions I needed and have made the changes. My system is working perfectly now. Thanks again.
@@chrisbrawley8810 could you share how? Having exact same issue
Could you run a 320 and sieve on a 14.000 Liter pond? Would the be suficiant? Or would i need a supplement like a bakki shower?
A 320 on its own would easily do it on its own!!
Thanks for the tutorial Tim #QualityNishikigoi , are APC delivering yet??? Any updates?
Is the Nexus 320 overkill for a 2400 gallon pond?
If you have the space, use the 320. You cannot really over filter.
@@TimWaddington Thanks for your reply. The reason I ask is because I'm going to be building my first pond and everyone is telling me to get a Nexus 320. I know it's a very large filter and I was trying to find out if it's my only option for an excellent filter.
Is the bead used instead of a sand filter
Similar in some ways but pretty different in the way the work and perform
@@TimWaddingtoncan beads be used in a sand filter
Richard Cannings I don’t know Richard, the insides are a bit different
