    I’m still debating whether to fit a retro, or just wait until I have chance to rebuild the pond

    • @dtkoinew
      @dtkoinew  Před rokem +2

      Trust me you won't regret fitting one and if you rebuild take it out 👍

      @dtkoinew  Před 11 měsíci +1

      I saw your video mate before I installed mine it improved the pond massively 👍

    Great to see it working Baldrick buddy but you could've made it a lot easier and with less pipe all you needed was an 1 inch half tank connector or bulkhead connector 🧁💯👍👍👍

    • @dtkoinew
      @dtkoinew  Před rokem +1

      If it works and no flex pipe then it's all good 👌

    • @leeoliver4063
      @leeoliver4063 Před měsícem +1

      @@dtkoinew yeah i might need 2 just worried about pipe ive got 5m x 3m and poss when made bigger 1.4m deep

    • @dtkoinew
      @dtkoinew  Před měsícem +1

      @leeoliver4063 honestly it's sit right on the bottom of the pond and with retros I believe size of pipe ia 40mm I've used nearly 3m of it and been in pond for ages and fish leave it alone and makes pump maintaince easier

  • @peterspuddleskoiandgoldfish

    Got one works great in mine ,but i didnt solvent weld the couplersthat are under water.This enables me to pull it out and clean in 3 parts water pressure keeps it together .Anyone else done this

    • @dtkoinew
      @dtkoinew  Před rokem +2

      I solvent welded the everything upto the one way valve and then solvent welded everything after the pump the reason I did that was incase I had to get to pump was easy to service and also easy to get to one way valve
