Nice review on the Aquasure Ozoneair unit 👌 👍. Will look 👀 forward to further update on the unit 👍 ⛩🐟⛩
Cheers cesca! I'm sure you have dabbled with ozone on your marine keeping.
@@OrchardKoi yes I have many years ago. Technology seems to have moved on these days. Might give it a go on my new build 🤔
Very interesting, definitely food for thought🙂
Always something to consider. Cheers 👍
Yet another great trial, very interesting mate!! 👍
Cheers. Trying to do things people will find useful
Following your progress with interest, great video, very informative 👍🏻
Cheers dude. Trying to keep it entertaining/useful.
Been very interested in one of these, will be good to see your progress. Subscribed 🎉
Cheers! A. Update will be coming once it's been through its paces for a decent period
Very helpful , these seem like a very good addition to the pond
Cheers Simon. Hope it was useful. Yes definitely a good addition 👍
@@OrchardKoi only thing Im thinking , how would it work with plants in the pond ?and I wouldn’t want it to strip the algae ‘carpet’ from the sides . I guess its a case of how long you use it
@MrSmithy63 yes how much you leave it on and what your total water volume is will dictate that. Think about diffuser placement. from what I can see so far the closer it is to something the more chance it oxidisises those micro-organisms first.
Great walk through of it bud looking forward to hearing your follow-up 👍
Cheers 👍
Great unboxing and overview thanks, could you do a followup after its been running a few weeks please? Thanks 👍 👏
Cheers scrag. Yeah defo will, its been on 2 weeks already. will give it a few more.
Very interesting video . I.will look forward to seeing your findings. I hope all goes well 🙏
Cheers 😊 just incase you have missed it i have done an update here czcams.com/video/kMhNaLOmrwY/video.htmlsi=sPK35KElhWZyPAo6
Yeah, very interesting Dave, be keen to hear how it progresses 👍🏼
Oh You will. Cheers Andy!
Great video Dave buddy definitely something to think about 💯🧁👍👍👍
Defo is.
Following progress with this and now subscribed, I’m a little surprised these are not more widely used or incorporated in systems of koi keepers I follow on here. Given the benefits described in your video. When you consider average costs of equipment this seems a low cost outlay for a lot of alleged benefits. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your next update of this 👍
You are 100% spot on. I think it's one of those things that may well end up as standard practice in a few years. Cheers for commenting 👍
Great video 😊
Cheers😊
Good video mate good demonstration
Cheers Paul. Glad you enjoyed it
This really is of interest, thank you😀
Glad it is. Follow up will be coming. With some more details.
Nice video
Cheers
Hi mate, very interesting. It's made a big difference.
Yeah it really has. Surprised me. Obviously I'm running a smaller capacity than most , an really over feeding , but i still didn't expect that diff, especially as I didn't buy it for clarity. Feeling an Ozone vs UV coming at some point.
There was a little bit about them on Chip channel yesterday,Rasta Koi. Did you see it?
@shaunleonard8146 no I haven't ill have a look
Can’t wait to hear the results of this
Cheers. Seems like a good addition so far 👍
Hi Dave, I was of the understanding that ozone shouldn't get in contact with the fish and a reaction chamber is used before entering the aquarium/pond? As I know ozone can damage fish? Be curious to hear your thoughts and if that had changed? Plus does it say how often you would need to change it? As the older model I had lasted for about three years,dut I couldn't source the replacement part to keep it working. Lastly, I would have thought the unit would have been tested prior to sale so it wouldn't leak, especially when you used the tape as I would always recommend where water is involved. Very interested in your thoughts👍 got the bit about it not being harmful,still would be interested to hear your thoughts
So it's all about how much you are putting through the water. The dosage of this unit is only 500mg per hour. As soon as it hits the column it gets to work on oxidising and doing it's job by the time its half way up alot of the dose has already oxidised with whats in the water - it really is unstable and looks for that extra electron quickly. I did some research on this before I bought it as I Too wondered about the going direct into the water column- ozone has been tested on salmon in aquaculture farming at different doses and like all things the right dose is key, enough to damage the bacteria and parasites and destroy the disovled organics, but not enough to damage the fish gills. I'm going to sort our a meter to measure exactly what is going in etc an will do an update on that. I have it installed a little over two weeks and have seen no adverse effects on any of the fish, but obviously still early days.
Problem with a reaction chamber , in my view, is your limit what gets treated by the flow of the system. The other element being you want it as far away from the filter bacteria as possible as to not effect that.
Like alot of things, there does seem to be a general apprehension on ozone with kpi keeping, part of the reason I want to test it and document it, as I know from my time with marine fish it was very highly though off, and if you have kept corals, you'll know they are sensitive delicate creatures. Not like our hard as nails carp.
On the parts side they recommend every 6 months. £30 for the ozone producing part. Which I don't think is too sad.
And yes the leak just seemed a factory defect on the seal, happens I suppose. Eco filtration had a new one sent out in under 24 hours no hassle.
Hope that helps, thanks for the great questions 😀
@@OrchardKoi definitely helps as the same as yourself, I would be up on previous ozone modules that wouldn't be suitable for koi. Will see if I can get one over to Ireland,as we are very limited to what we can get here related to koi. Since Brexit,it is near impossible to get anything,other than the likes of Germany or Holland. Thanks so much for the reply and will definitely stay tuned for the update. One of the best MD most interesting reviews I've seen relating to koi and ponds. Top job👍
@user-oi2qi5vo1r that's a pain! Hopefully you can get one supplied from somewhere. If you do get one let me know your thoughts
@@OrchardKoi just thought I would update you and let you know that I got in touch with eco filtration and am in the process of ordering their ozone unit. Told them they have yourself to thank, due to the information and video you have done. Hopefully you get something back in return 🤞
@user-oi2qi5vo1r that's brilliant. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it
Interesting 🤔
Certainly is! I will post an update in the future with my experiences.
Hi I ordered and paid for one after watching your video, but the invoice came up back ordered nine available on ebay two emails as yet no response, I went direct after your glowing recommendation
Ah thats rubbish. I think from what I saw, another supplier cleaned them out pretty quick. I've left the email I contacted on the other video, hopefully they will let you know soon
Hi did you have a contact number for eco filtration when reporting the fault great video now subscribed
No I didn't if you email them via sam@eco-filtration.co.uk they will get back to you. Personally found them very quick. Cheers dude glad you found it useful. 😊
I have aerated bottom drains, that I run on a timer - could I run them via the ozone unit? Surely I could?
Yeah the diffuser I'm using is effectively the same as your aerated bottom drain.👍
How do you like it so far? Do you have an Orp meter, you’ll should see the difference. I run mine and after 2 days the Orp run straight up, so very happy with it for now
In the process of getting one. So far, I'm very impressed. As I said the water quality was a shock, I don't chase gin clear water with amount I feed , but it has removed a lot of dissolved organics which only helps the fish appetite.
@@OrchardKoi and less problems with parasites and bad bacteria ☺️
@@madtrukka which has to be a winner. Keeping the bad stuff away can only mean better for the fish
What is the cost for the air diffuser? Thanks 4SHARING
Cheers 👍£55 ill put the blink to the exact one I got. If looking at other types consider the material and if its OK to use with ozone. www.eco-filtration.co.uk/product/aqua-jet-air-diffuser-free-standing-pond-aerator/
Hi bud I'm thinking of buying one of these. How are you getting on with it bud?
Yeah so far so good. If you aren't in a rush I'm going to give it a few weeks an do an update. But so far I'm very happy with it.
Hi nice vid I never seen this before Guna have a go put one on my system but don’t have air in my pond only ibc for moving bed with 2 air disk do you no if can stick ozone on 1 of the air disk in moving bed
Hi there- No 100% do not connect this to a diffuser in your moving bed, a large portion of ozone will be attacking the bacteria you want to thrive in the filter system, and stoping your nitorgen cycle breakdowns. If you want it into a part of your filter system It needs to go after any biological filtration where it can mix freely with the water in your system without getting at your filter media bacteria. Ozone oxidisies quickly with what ever micro organisms it finds first. Hope that helps
Could I put it on a air curtain in the pond as I don’t want air in centre
@symongreenhalgh2160 yeah that would be fine any outlet can be used. An air curtain would give a nice spread
@@OrchardKoi ok thank you very much for your time m8 and info very helpful
@symongreenhalgh2160 you're welcome, glad it's useful
Put some Vasoline on the rubber seals that will seal it up
Great shout. The initial leak was a defect In this case all good now.
Hows the ozone gone on
I'm currently putting through its paces. Wanted to make sure I've had a decent amount of time to see dIfferent things with it, i plan to do an update soon.👍
Ok I just fitted same one yesterday but have seen no improvement with Tanis of the water so hopefully it will in next few days
@@LesMar-u5x interesting. What capacity of water is your set up?
@@OrchardKoi 1000 gallon just short of 5000l
@@LesMar-u5x so nearly double mine. give it a few days, make sure you've got no leaks and enough air going through etc
