Nice plumbing Kevin, great upload. Stay safe & well.
Cheers mate - Thanks a lot and Stay Safe
Great video. still trying to get my head around the bypass valve for ashp RECENTLY DELIVERED....
Great job kev very professional job mate looking forward to cost of the unit per day week ect 17c a great temp to run at over winter nice and toastie for your koi 👍👍👍😉
Cheers Barry. I am intrigued too. Logger goes on tomorrow
Excellent update! Heating system is looking good! I I thought I'd missed you magically appearing at your pond, but then you appeared at the end instead. You'll have to let me know how you do that bit of trickery magic??😉😉😁
Thanks for watching and trust me it is no trickery at my age. May be I will do a behind the scenes or Director cut.
I have same heater 15 version Simon at aes is brilliant and unit is awesomeness cheaper than others but same features
Thanks for watching. I am really glad I spent a couple of Days searching and asking questions. It was time well spent. This system is perfect for my set up and needs. The physical size, Wifi and efficiency as critical and like you say the price is amazing
Great video thank you, could I ask what model the ashp is? Apologies if you have already mentioned elsewhere
All the details are in the description but it depends what you are using to view them whether you can see them. I use a Remora i12 ASHP from AES
www.automatedenvironmentalsystems.co.uk/product/remora-inverter-swimming-pool-heat-pump/
Hi very interesting videos. Any idea on the cost per 24 hours? I would like to know how efficient this unit would be when temperatures are near freezing? I am setting up a 750 gallon EZ Pond that is insulated with 45mm Celotex and will be covered with 35mm polycarbonate. I was going to use a 2KW Cloverleaf heater, but I'm now wondering if it might be worth investing in a heat pump such as the Remora 6KW output?
Yes I can tell you exactly. I put a logger on the live supply of the heater for a two week period. The logger recorded the usage every 6 seconds for the two weeks. I also placed the logger back on from the 22/12 for a 30 day log. Once it is completed I will upload the results. This video will give you a good idea.

If you look on my Videos is was uploaded around Christmas
Great job enjoyed watching video hope you're made up with heater
Cheers Dave and so far so good with the heater all though I have to keep touching it to see if it is working as it is silent and just sits there and heats the water.
@@AKoiEnthusiast seems so much better than other makes nice it's black doesn't stand out 👍👍
Hi, great video on them conditions, I have a multi bay filter at the moment, my filter house is only 32 inches wide, but11 foot long, I would house the heater outside the filter house, but would have to replumb, how much would you recommend thos make to other makes. Thanks Scott
Useful things those big concrete slabs but they are very heavy
Cheers my friend and you are not kidding. I am sure they were a lot lighter 20 years ago.
Standard setting on the Remora is a four degree swing but you can set them at two degree, not sure if it is more cost efficient but it would be better for the fish.
Cheers fr commenting. I have the details about that Parameter but at the moment the temperature has only moved between 16 Degrees & 17 Degrees according to my Temp logger so I'm not too worried yet
The degree swing is the maximum allowed before the unit will switch off and then back on. In reality this doesn’t happen if correctly sized on an inverter as it’s changing its speed to match the heat loss.
For this reason it will normally hover plus or minus 0.5 degrees from the set point. Hope this helps
Have you got full flow from the pump going through the air source just trying to work out how I’m going to fit an ahp to my pond
Thanks for watching. Yes all the flow from the filter goes through the ASHP. I have a bypass installed too so in the Spring, Summer & Autumn I can bypass the ASHP. Having said that. A couple of times the water hit 27 degrees so I had the ASHP cooling down to 25 to help
Another great job Kev,but why no cover over the top of it,it is very quiet.
The rain cover will be put over it this week but like all ASHP there needs to be clearance of 300mm behind, 700mm at the sides, 500mm on the top and 2500 in front.
Hi great vid keep them comming 👍 what is the size of your pond and what is the wattage of your heater you have just fitted
Cheers
Cheers for watching. If you look in the Description all the details of All the Ponds and equipment is listed on there. The main pond is 2,200 Gallons and the ASHP uses just under 2kW when running 100% to produce 12kW of output temp but on Smart Mode it would never use anything near that unless it is heating the water up to a high temperature or from scratch. It is sat at 17 Degrees
Nice job and video.
Quick question why did you not leave your old heater in place and plumb it in further down you pipe?
It’s there in case you need it.
Cheers for watching. Yes with hindsight I could have. I was going to sell it but a friends said what if the ASHP fails and then I noticed the unions were nearly identical so for the sake of 2 minutes unscrewing the unions it will fit in there. Maybe a later Mod will see it on the skimmer line or the return line.
I am in exactly the same situation as you have an Inline electric heater and I’m currently working out it’s cost.
Having said that I only keep my fish at 13 degrees over winter.
And I’m fully covered like you.
So it’s a tricky one wether the further expense is reallyworth it.
@@markbrady7462 Last year in Feb & March it cost me £2.22 per day to heat it so I am intrigued what this will cost.
Hi Kev, nice set up keeps it out of sight, what's the pipe coming out the front below fan is it for condensation run off, I bet it blows cold in front off that fan, can it also cool the water if we ever get a blazing hot summer, stay safe.
Rob.
Cheers rob, yes it can cool & Heat anything between 5 Degrees & 40 Degrees so yes in Summer if it gets above 24 Degrees again I could cool the water a little. You can come and have a good look after Xmas. Stay Safe mate
I will take you up on that offer Kev, have you seen the sand filters at AES they look same build as bead filters and seem a good price, I was wondering if they would run same with k1 micro in, units come empty as you have to buy sand separate which obviously wouldn't need anyway.
Rob.
@@robertnicholls9409 Rob I did that put mirco in instead of sand runs like a dream just need to make sure you have a blower fitted for cleaning
@@barrykoikeepercooper8052 did you get yours from AES what size did you go for and how many litres of k1 micro does it hold, also where did you get your blower from and was it easy enough to add it, I'm roughly pricing it to get a idea of total cost, I have the same filter as Kev, the Oase premium compact drum filter which my bottom drain will feed to and also my skimmer which connects into pipework from a mid water 3" feed which will go to the Oase as well but could go to a bead filter instead, at the moment it's on hold until spring, the pond itself is built but no liner or pipework is installed.
Rob.
Great video, ive just purchased the i15 after looking around, found these have a 3yr and 7yr warranty and at a great price,
it says 1"1/2 connections but looks like your pipework is 2" did you have to reduce it dowm?
Cheers for watching and Hope you find the unit as easy and reliable as mine. Yes it comes with a 50mm/1 1/2" Union Adapter. All my pipework is 1 1/2" except the Bottom Drains. The Pumps etc are reduced from 2" to 1 1/2". Possibly wish I had run everything in 2" but maybe that's another Project.
Did you fit heat pump after filter and on inlet to pond
Yes mate. The sequence was Bottom Drain - Oase Filter - Pump - UV - ASHP - Pond
@@AKoiEnthusiast many thanks I’ve got one on my pond but keeps cutting out on low water flow think I need to have filter higher than ASHP as I have pump fed filter
Nice and quiet was it actually on
Cheers for watching and yes I could only tell it was on because it said Heat and also the air blowing out the front. it is only 10 decibels on trickle and 45 Decibels on full power. I want to put a couple of ribbons on the fan cover to see when it is on.
Neat installation as usual. What temperature are you heating to?
Cheers for watching and the comments. I am going to start at 17 Degrees and check how much it is costing to run and then eventually I think I might drop it to 15/15 degrees C
@@AKoiEnthusiast My pleasure. How about feeding plans? It'll be neat if you can install an underwater cam to enjoy the pond more during winter. Though I'm sure it's in the works.
Can this be used on a gravity filter system
I'm not entirely sure exactly what you mean as Gravity Fed refers to the Filter set up. My ASHP is set up on a Gravity Fed set up but I still need a Pump to push the water back through the ASHP and to the Pond return. If you mean can you fit the ASHP before the Filter I would say NO and would definitely not recommend it as pre filtered water will contain Algae and waste likely to coat or line the pipework of the Heat Exchange. Having said that I would ask the Manufacturer or supplier before purchasing a unit.
@@AKoiEnthusiast I have a Oase 140000 screen matic filter which goes out from the bottom straight to a waterfall on a 4inch pipe where and how could i plumb the system in?
Thanks Ted
@@bearcatkoi I get it now. I would say it may be a little more difficult with your set up with the filter outlet being Gravity return and the fact of having a waterfall. If you want better clarity I would speak with @Simon Ward at AES Ltd or the technical department of the supplier you choose.
the old heater you was using how much would that cost you a day buddy and are they any good
There are a few Videos in my Library of how much they cost to use. One from Feb 2019, one from March 2019 and one from three weeks ago and YES they are good and did the job nicely. They can be programmed to come on at different times. Over the three videos it works out at an average of around £2.50 per day
I am thinking of getting the same size ASHP as you.what are the electrical/ wiring needs of it? Thanks
If you check out the first Video about the ASHP it tells you all about the connection. It is classed as Plug and play so it comes with a Plug & RCD, so all you need is a socket within 2.8 metres of the unit and away you go. czcams.com/video/8aVq7XiyzcE/video.html
@@AKoiEnthusiast thanks 👍
Hi can I install an air source heat pump on a pond that is pump fed also does it need installing before or after the drum filter?
