No disrespect James, but considering your a butcher to trade, you’ve done a real professional job building this amazing Koi pond all by yourself, with some help when you’ve needed it, you’ve put a hell of a lot of thought 💭 and planning into it, with attention to detail, and it shows.
You seen it in your head how it’ll look 👀 and you’ve achieved it. 👍
Look forward to the water and then Koi going in, ticketyboo. 👍🏴
It’s truly a work of art. 👏
Love that
James its looking amazing 👏.... there's so many people that have been on this pond building journey with you and have felt the excitement and frustrations you've encountered... Mrs Whisperer must have the patience of a Saint.. keep it up you're almost there..
James put all the pipe work in now to the 4” T and put a bung end in where the over pump will go it will save a lot of work later. All you have to do is take out the bung end and connect the pump straight on.
James , you've done an absolutely awesome job . One of the very best , which will inspire others to have a try . But I can tell that the way your struggling to get your filters in a tight space is bugging you . Before you crack on , is there no way you could exchange it with the dealer for something of a better fit . Maybe a combi unit or a bespoke bio unit . Or maybe once it's running it won't be an issue and won't bother you . Just want you to be totally happy with your dream pond and not regret anything later 👍❤️
Brilliant job James stay safe 🙏🐟🐟🐟🙏
Probably been mentioned before, but your lucky that rex Hunt isn't charging you for stealing his "thank your mother for the rabbits" 🤣🤣 great job you are doing and it's an awesome pond.
Not gonna lie, following the progression of this pond so far, I'm amazed. The quality fo the work you've done is incredible. And it's inspiring me to do it eventually, when I get my own house. Only thing I want to do slightly different from yourself is a larger viewing window on both sides. Keep up the quality videos, look forward to seeing the fish go in and the pond filled :)
Yup James lad, you have officially made me jealous lol 😆 because you have created a koi pond that is fantastic in every way and done proper to the superlative degree. You have shown that a mere pipe dream ( no pun intended ), can with determination and good planning can become an eye popping reality, you definitely reap what you sow kid and it shows. That said you can have many appy appy days with a pond set up that looks the ammer and ye can than ye mother for the pumps 😁
Looking pukka keep it up I can't wait for the water and the turning on
What a great job James. I've watched all your pond build videos and you have helped me a lot with my pond build - currently just putting the mesh down before concrete pour. Oh and I'm putting a roof on because yours looks so epic. Well done mate
James, James, james !
Making money 💴 on the tube and building a pond ! I guess I am in the wrong trade ! Costly project for a butcher !
Fair play nearly there looks the 🥜🥜🥜
Fantastic job nice and slow no mistakes now and before you no it the koi will be back in swimming about
Hi James definitely need to spray them white shelf brackets black ⚫100% 😎 and it's looking the hammer 🔨 👌
That solvent weld frightens me to death. One mistake and a leak getting it apart again to fix it my God what a nightmare. You’ll sort it mate. Measure 600 times, glue once and be fast about it!
Hi James.
I hope you are well Sir.
You have done a great Job with the plumbing.
Keep up the good work and keep on Rocking that Project. ✌️
Haha I told you it’s head work 🙈
Looking snazzy Sir. I cannot wait to see them koi in their new home 😍 just wow.. have a killer week James 😁
looking stunning pal going to be awesome
Why not put the sockets for your air pumps in betweeNnthe shelves behind the pumps? Or lower the shelves to achieve the same? I have found that using the solvent weld flexible pipe saves having bends, like the pipe from your pump to the drum, looking good so far, have'nt seen your stuff for a while as my FB account was hacked and I had loads of trouble getting back on. Cheers. Mick
James your doing very well but I would still open the door outward and keep all the filtration on the pond wall with the boiler on the wall where the air pumps are it would give you a lot more room and access to service the boiler.
unions don't leak as long as you use PTFE tape on the threads of the pump and a good amount of tape to, mine have been on my pond for 17 years with the same o rings, just not enough tape on the threads would be an issue.
James it's all looking the dogs B keep up the good work
Hi buddy have u any thoughts on an upflow filter . Looking great.
Looks good but think you might run the Bakki pump dry if your hoping to pull 30000 lph thro 2 inch with that many bends
Morning James great vids fella I have a question as you are also a carp fisherman….would or could you feed fishing bates to koi as a treat as it appears that a lot of them have ingredients better than some koi foods?
I’ve got the Charles Austen air pump not sure if you will have the same problem as me but the plastic on top of the pump vibrates quite bad so had to put a elastic band around to stop it, hope that helps
Meant to ask on an earlier video. What put you off getting the Burton combi unit and going down the separate unit route? Rebuilding my pond next year or maybe over winter. Want to hide filter if I can, so interested in saving space.
You're doing a grand job on the pipework!
I love that part of the build, but being a pipefitter it comes a bit more naturally...
if the unions thread went on the pump a bit too easy (parallel not taper threads) I used loctite 55 PTFE string.
It makes a much tighter fit, just don't use too much, a few wraps of locktite 55 with PTFE tape on top.
Gona have to paint your black again james..as the paints only £20 for 5 ltrs at the moment,maybe pick up another one 👌🏻I’ll sit back and chill and watch the upload 🔨🔨🔨🐇🐇🐇
Yea got a spare atm
Great video as usual mate thank you James….👍🏻
Looking forward to it to be finished it’s looking 10/10 brother
There's a lot of solvent joints there to glue up James, here's a small tip put a red dot on each joint as you glue them, that way you will see straight away if any have been missed when you check before filling, wish I had lol.
Deffo need some luck 🍀
Spaghetti Junction use the patience of a Saint I'd be doing sum cusing lol
Looking good 👍 Think about ball valves both sides of pumps for ease of maintenance. You could put the 4" pipe in now and blank one off or more ball valves (sorry I know it's more money).
The pipework looks beautiful but it is at a cost spotted you could reduce extra turns and use a couple of 45° instead of 90° which would be better for the pump, but might not look as nice as you like horizontal and vertical pipes 😁
your lamp is flickering because its 50 Hz ;) means light shots per second your eyes see 24 images a second ;)
love the black men! lovely pond ! cant wait! i hope you buy a lovely platinum and goshiki !
👍👍👍
Looking really good james I can totally understand how your feeling in that filter house mate in the tight space I had the same problem in my filter house I also done other jobs in the garden and kept putting it off for rainy days 😆
As for the unions on the pumps use gas ptfe tape on the threads mate been there got the leaks then used gas tape problem solved. Z hammer 🔨
WTF It's Monday James !!!!! LOL YES !!!!
Allways like to surprise mate
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 You are spoiling us !!!
Get it done lad. It's looking the nuts. Well done
Cracking job I have it all to do next year with my new sleeper pond keep up the the great work
Well james it looks the dogs. Bet you cant wait to fill and get your koi back. Well done.
James, do you have a plumbing friend? That could help you out? I know nothing about plumbing but it might be easy to consult with someone?
All looking good, James, at least your taking it steady and that is what makes it all look tidy and makes sense, we all need to take that little more time when planning, our plumbing I wish I did lol, when I get a drum I'm hoping to improve that lol, looks smashing bud.
Thanks for the video, its looking the dogs boll---- now, looking forward to see fish back in, keep up the great work matey !!!
James I gave up using pump unions and now use rubber boots never had a problem doing it bud
That's up to date with what i have seen tidy as hell mate with the pipe work 👍👍
Well I got the copping stones in this weekend looking tidy
Have no words for it, but numbers 10 out of 10.👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌💪💪💪💪
2 video in one week your treating us 😉
Keep up the good work
You’re doing an absolutely superb job James🏆🥇. Pond and filter house are looking amazing👍😊. Looking forward to seeing it all plumbed in. Keep up the good work👍🈲🐟😊
Cracking james 👌🏻looks a nightmare 😱all that pipework..I wouldn’t know where to start..when you have finished.YOUR POND COMPLETELY,take your self off carp fishing,relax back in your chair and just chill.and give yourself a very LARGE PAT ON THE BACK FOR A JOB WELL DONE 👍🏻 🔨🔨🔨🐇🐇🐇
Yes it’s a head banger lol 😂
You must of spent so much on this boy! Looks amazing
Yes few quid
Keep at it James 😃👍
Great vid Lad 👍👍 theres alot of fittings and joints there mate just keep your cool if you get a leak there's always one lol 😁😁 good progress though mate and good idea with the guttering klip 👌👌👍👍👈😉.
Yea most likely get a few leeks lol 😂
You’ve done all the hard work not long before you fill up cracking job 👍
Use Fernox Jointing Compound from Screwfix. Just put it on the male thread, no need to put it on the female half. Best sealant going, never let me down and I’ve been plumbing for years.
James mate, the amount of pipe connections you have you could open a shop, happy dayz, the pond coming along a treat ❤️👍👍🤩🤩
😂😂 crazy init but need them all
James it’s never ending them pipes and connection, hate it as well 🤦🏻♂️
Cracking job James.
James the job you are doing in the filter house is a pucker one 👌
Slow and steady wins the race. Thank ya mother for the tortoise 😊
Hi James looking good mate. Lots of pipes. Your favourite lol. It's all progress. More jobs ticked off the list.
That is a very good job you have done with the pipeline sew far
Slowly slowly James, you will triumph. Stay safe
Hey James 👋🏼
Just use plenty of ptfe tape and then some more on the pump unions and it will be fine 💯.
I'm not sure what model drum you have bud (forgive me if I'm wrong as i can't really see) but the skimmer line and bottom drain lines all go into the same side of the drum (waste chute side). I looks like you have it the other way around.
Take care matey 👍🏼
Mine has 6 inlets mate 3 at front and 3 at back and 4 outlets
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 which model is it?
TF-500 at a guess.
I'm only used to profidrum or similar so not sure about these newer fancy ones 🤣🤣👍
@@Tom_Prendiville something like that Tom
Hiya james would a ball valve before the T that feeds the pumps be a good idea and bung up one end before you get another pump set up? That way any problems or maintenance to the pumps. Would stop you losing a lot of water. And a ball valve after the pumps incase you had to change one. Just thinking ahead. 👍🏻 but your doing a good job. 👍🏻
James dont forget the plastic fittings are smaller than the rubber ones so your pipes may be a tad short if are swapping them out
Yea mate didn’t think of that lol 😂
doing a great job looking good
Hello James put a ball valve before your pump it saves draining down your pond if you have to change your pump ever
Keep up the good work the pond is looking fantastic
Yea think I will have to tbh best way init
I no what you mean with the pipe work mate. I have been building my koi pond. I have Enjoyed building the pond. But what a ball ache it has been, took me bloody ages with the pipe work, hated doing it. But your doing a cracking job has always 👍
Boom 💥1st, advice is run the rubber boots straight onto the pumps, obviously ptfe the tread on the pump but that will not leak, better than the screw fittings!
Looks great buddy 👍🏻😎
💥🤙👍😎🙏
Ah making me want to start mine again 😂😂 top job fella
Chin up Mr whisperer your doing a great job mate 👍
Looking good I think one pump going full flow should run both showers no problem 💪🏻
I think the lights haven't really flickered this time in filter house great job getting there mate getting there
Better in the day light tbh with the door open a little
Fantastic progress mate. It’s defo coming close now
I have the same air pumps for my fishroom James they are great
Looking good !!
Very tight but once sorted will last a long time.
Not far away hopefully all done for winter. Folding screens for the front for winter ?
James you might hate pipe work but it seems to be coming together it looks like something I saw at Space Kennedy I am a pond keeper and my filter is just mechanical and bio
Slow and steady is the only way or you will be pulling your hair out you’re doing a great job well done🌞👍👍
theres nowt wrong wi plumbing james . i love it ...anyway , looks nice n neat n comin on well
Your doing a great job bro, I do plumbing and heating for a living and your pipework is good, your doing the right thing taking your time, enjoy it 😆😆 I'm watching your progress wishing I could.start again, looking to relocate some where near barnstable in the next 2 years so I may have to do it all again... can't wait to see it all running, if the union thread is bottoming out onto the pump, taper the ptfe tape it gets thincker towards the back, that way you make sure your on with a good couple turns of thread as plastic threads are easy to cross if it's packed out with ptfe near the start. Have a good week 👍👊
Them 9 people who gave thumbs down do one this lads doing a fantastic job I've got loads of good tip for my pond build 👍
Hi mate that bottom drain you was given have you still got it if so are you looking to get rid
Why cut plug off air pumps and drill holes, you can cut a piece out the back of shelf and push cable down there. 👍
Yep good thinking 🤔
I know how you fell with the pipe work I’m trying to do mine it’s doing my head in.keep going James looking the absolute the hammer mate .
Another great video. I wouldn’t have the patience to work in those tight areas. 😂 I know you need to provide regular videos, but if I had my way, I’d say forget the videos and zoom to filming the fish in that awesome pond 👏🏼
i know u hate plumbing but looking the absolute hammer
Thank you yea it’s getting there just hate doing the job lol 😂
Would not like to see your electricity bill when it's done 🙈🙈 Looks mint 👍👍🍻
Howya pal came home today' to find one of me favourite sanke moping in the corner upright managed to net him and his mouth is in bits the lily pots are tore to shreds gravel is everywhere he's in a salt bat for now can I use the carp card mouth treatment?
Yea mate you can try and put some On see if it helps but try not to stress the koi anymore if she looks ok ?
James i wunt of bothered with rubber boots there a nightmare pal , I'm running an 100 litre air pump on one bottom drain don't seem that powerfull bro , I think my pipe is too small but that filter house is banging u must be 15 k in now iv done my pond with wood 12 by 6 got loads of regrets lol
Wish I had ur patience 😪
Hi James me boy any idea how long do you reckon before our koi will be back in our pond ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Week or so I think just got to get these last few jobs done
Your electric bill will be mahoosive
PTFE on unions, never had a problem.
Best taking your time, you don’t want to do all that work and fook it up at the last step.
So easily done when project fatigue sets in, you’ll be rite though 👍🏻
Love your work mate. However, I can’t keep track of all your pipe connections from where to where. Can you diagram your work in a pdf file for us? I have no idea what function are for each of your pipes
lol wish I could pdf lol 😂 don’t have a clue how to do that
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 can you draw on paper & take picture?
@@kenthoang2202 yea mate I will try and explain it all once it’s all up and running mate
Thank your mother for the rabbits we are nearly there
why gas boiler and not a heat pump ?
Gas is cheaper over the year
Heat pumps are noisy and not very effective in colder weather
Did you have a look at Wrightys channel and his heat pump installation? Only costing about £1 per day during winter . Located outside , too and can plug straight into a socket 👍
Dont see why people thumbs down peoples videos if its not there cup of tea go and watch gardeners world or sumate " thank ya mother for the rabbits iv started saying it in lincolnshire i just get stared at like im a twonk 😅
led lights flash on and off eyes cant catch it but cameras can .You lost space with unions going into the first unit with the rubber pipe to 4inch weld then the rubber pipe to the burton
That’s y then lol 😂
You mentioned that you wont run the bottom drain air 24/7. You really need to run it 24/7. Air is critical to koi health and growth. Its probably just as important as filtration especially during the summer months.
In your opinion.....many of us use it on a timer and have no issues. It depends on the setup seeing as everyone's pond is different.
@@Tom_Prendiville yea I be useing a timer
