Koi Kit - Part 2: The Dechlorinator

- A chat about a way of dechlorinating my tap water to use in the pond. Not the only available way but just my method. Tap water must be dechlorinator before use as it is harmful, even fatal to your fish. Other methods are available. Thank you for watching, please subscribe.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been looking for a way to dechlorinate my water to use in my pond and your video explained it all for me.
Steve. A hint with regards to the first filter (the 5 micron). Because the filter housing is see through, Algae will quickly build up. Especially somewhere as bright as a greenhouse. Put something opaque around the filter housing to block the light (e.g. cardboard sleeve, piece of plastic pipe (does 4" fit around it?). This will ensure you filter lasts longer and doesn't get covered in Algae.
Great shout Peter, thank you.
I use a black bag and an elastic band. Easy to fit/remove, cheap, lightweight and waterproof :) Hardly any algea now.
Thanks for the series, enjoy your explanations, and explaining the different pieces of equipment. Ocala, Florida USA
Thank you Dianne, stay safe over there x
My 3 stage filter instructions said the the GAC (your middle cartridge) should be stage 3. Mine was from service plus on ebay. I don't know if it matters really but thank you for the video, loving this series. Cheers.
Thanks Simon, I will have another look.
I think you are right as the manufacturer indicated a purchasing order and GAC is the last to be mentioned.
@Alen Lee It does say that. I checked as well. He did a follow up video and explained this too I think.
Good run by on that Steve as well I run two of them and swap out at about 3 months but only thing it gets you is you can run the water a little faster past them than just one set.
Thanks for filming
Thanks Martyn.
Thanks for the info, I'd lost my instructions, so this was very helpful.
Another good informative upload Steve. I use the same Vyair system and get replacements from the same place as you. Have a good week, stay safe & well.
Thank you
Good video mate, as said above good to test your water after your three stage filter for chlorine with the tablets, also good to run your water for a few minutes to flush the new cartridges, if you use a glass the catch the water coming out once replaced you will see what I mean, all the best keep them coming
Good advice Matthew. Cheers
I always use nt labs decolinater but that looks a cool gadget thanks for explaining how it works, stay safe and well 🐟Carol 🐟
Thank you for that Carol, there are several products available it's just down to the individual x
Hi Steve, great videos. Looks like the first filter just has algae growth, maybe helped by the warmth/light of the greenhouse? Would blocking the light help? I would also bet that the new 3rd filter looks the same as old one once it is wet- could just be seeing the black carbon.
I guess the first canister is see through so you can monitor condition but yes I get algae growth but it wasn't on the sediment filter, only the canister wall.
Also if you can put on a fine spray from the dechlorinator slightly in the air that can help remove more clorine I was told this by someone who as been keeping koi for over 30 years.
I have heard of that too. Cheers Paul.
I`m changing mine too often going by the colour of yours when you did it :-)
Loving this series steve
What's next
Thanks David, wait and see........
Love the channel mate as always, I'm making my own declornator at the moment using sodium thiosulphate which is o.k.
I've looked after your latest update in buying the same, but doesn't give a around about figure on how many litres to it,s end life of the filters.
Any clues then I'd be really grateful mate...👍
I didn't see a life span as it's probably too variable. Environment you have the dechlorinator in, tap water quality, daily usage, drip in/drip out etc. Just monitor the state of the first filter and gauge it from that or regularly 6 months. Your choice, Cheers.
Manufacturer states 6 month change out.
Good video Steve.
Do you make your own liquid dechlorinator, using Sodium ThioSulphate? Easy to make and cheap to buy the crystals on eBay. Much cheaper than shop bought.
Do you have a link from where you buy your cartridges from please?
Steve gets them from the same place as me CBers..

Cheers CBers looks like Iceni beat me too it. ,
@@IcenI_Koi Thanks.
You should really test the water coming out of your Dechlorinator with DPD 4 tablets and if your filling a pond, make your own dechlorinator with Sodium Thiosulphate. Lots of posts on koi forums on how to do it.
Cat checks the pond post filter and tap water regular so we are on top of it cheers.
4 liters aminute is tops for the ten inch not sure if any different for the 2o inch steve
Interesting tip there Brian. Cheers
Great video Steve, I use the same set up. Question I’ve always asked though, without running it through a meter, how fast should you run water through it?
I don't honestly have an answer to that. Water pressure will play a part I guess but I run it through at normal water pressure rate without reducing the flow. Cheers
I like that system but cannot find it can you send me a link on the DeCora nicer

Hi, the 3 red buttons on the top which release the air, can they be added to a hma filter which doesn’t have them? Regards Russ
Hi Steve is that 10 pounds each just looked and couldn't see the sets have you got a link. Mine are 20 inch 3 stage thank you

My chlorine levels are so high i have 2 of these inline and even with a trickle i still need to add some seachem safe. Safe is much better than the liquids its a powder and u only need 1/4 teaspoon per 1250 litres.
Good grief Martin.
? Where can I buy it
Do the spent cartridges go in the recycling, or land fill?
Landfill for me but maybe someone knows the correct method of disposal.
Hi is it possible you can send me link pls for the full unit .. ebay if possible.. thank you

@@CATANDEYEKOI thank you so much .. is it better to buy the 20inch or the with the 10inch do
Been using liquid for my small pond but in the process of making a bigger pond and just ordered one today! Do you have to clean the filter before use or are they good to go straight away?
I gave my filter a swill out with a hose to get rid of any plastic dust or swarf. Cheers
CATANDEYE KOI cheers for that Steve!!
