Another fantastic video mate, well done mate the bakki shower is going to look the business 👌👌👌😎
Nothing but perfection frankie mate 👌🏼
Great video! I’m all for the perfection on filtration.... keep going
Proper that, great idea with the holes in the bottom tier so some of the water gets pumped back over the shower 👌🏻
looking good, great info you make it look easy
Wow that's a shower nice 👍👍👍
Great stuff, really interesting 👍🐟🈲

My favourite pond, think I'm going to have to copy 😂
Really nice job done
That’s gonna be one mighty shower

Awesome job with this channel! Fascinating to watch! New subscriber here! LIKE 👍👍👍
Cracking shower 🚿
Love your channel.
Looking closely at tour profidrum the jet nozzles see different than the standard ones Darren supplies….. where did you get them ? I noticed they have a more even spray coverage over the drum screen !
👌
Hope your all good brother, give me a shout if you need a hand... 👌
Super bassin !!! Et top koïs ! Les koïs que vous avez , quand les les avez mis , elles faisaient quelle taille ?
Good stuff!
Very interested in the plans as well if possible. I’d like to incorporate a stainless shower too.

@@thekoichannel264 sounds good!! Thanks!
@@thekoichannel264 great Vlog mate, love the idea for my new build. Do you think these will be manufactured in the near future.
If you contact Darren @ Absolute Koi he will get you one made, this was ready in about 6 days 👍
@@thekoichannel264 thank you. 👌
Looks very well thought out and great build quality but it does look overly complicated and expensive imo. I’ve been running a 4 tier Momotaro Bakki shower with 100% BHM for the last 18 years and I’ve kept it simple with an adapted skimmer and pumping 7,000 gallons an hour (turnover the pond once an hour).
Hi Geoff, I intrigued how you would have done it differently and with less cost without using a plastic shower? Iv seen the mommotaro way of pumping straight from a skimmer but I know someone who did that and after a lot of issues with crud buildup he fitted a drum in front of it. My goals with the design were to find a way of getting sufficient clean water to put over it, have it away from the pond and incorporate a protein skimmer. It might look complicated but when you think about it it’s just a tank with a shower over it and a pump sucking from a tray instead of from a skimmer. I’m not sure if you have seen my first Vlog but I explain most of my reasonings in that 👍 czcams.com/video/ICkWR4awUxg/video.html
Hi Frank really enjoying the vids and the technical knowledge is very helpful. I had s couple of questions about your pond. How do you find maintenance because it is built into the ground. I want something similar but have a bad back so wanted to pick your brains about it.
The there isn’t really anything to do as the filters are all self cleaning. The only real maintenance I do is once a week I turn off the drum and run my finger around the rubber seal and then use brush on the underside of the waste shoot to clean off any debris and then follow up with a hose down of the inside of the drum and shoot. Other than that it’s just a case that of emptying the skimmer basket every few days 👍
well done. your channel should spike up really fast. Objective and to the point. keep it that way. maybe you can elaborate a little further on the installation such as the pumps an tubing and prices for parts would be a good bit of info for whom is considering doing similar. please do mind the music level as i had to lower volume every time music cued in. thank you
Literally just about to start putting together part 2 in which I’ll go into a bit more detail on how it’s set up and my findings with it. Interesting with the music, all of my devices play on it back at a nice level in sync with the vocals but on my friends Samsung phone it’s way too loud, not sure how I would combat it 🤔
Do u have a video of ur build from scratch? Very inspiring pond.
Yes mate 👍 czcams.com/video/ICkWR4awUxg/video.html
Love your videos and have even watched some of them a couple of times. My only question is about the rubber boots (which you have a lot of). Are you planning to bury the rubber in the ground? Is there a brand which lasts longer than others as I have heard that some can split (although I have no experience of this)?
Hi there, glad you like the videos. Iv never had any crack or fail. I think there is a lot of cheep nasty ones that are a slightly different rubber and over time they go brittle. Also some do it due to sunlight but they are something I’ll keep an eye on. As for the one in the ground, the rubber jointers are often used under ground and last years but like anything it’s something that once in a blue moon I’ll get my spade out and give it a check 👍
@@thekoichannel264 thanks mate. Just spent the whole bank holiday trying and failing to swap a rubber boot for a PVC union but I couldn't get the union tight enough to hold water as the pipes didn't align 100%. Decided to go back to the rubber and left a cavity to enable me to check it from time to time.
Nice concept Frank and nice installation work. What sort of increase in flow are you expecting to be able get with your tank recycling? Secondly, any reason why the tank concept would not work pond-side with a weir exit? Obviously you would not get the up-pipe benefit.
Hi Deejay, I’m only on a single bottom drain so without the tank I would only have around 18,000 an hour to put over it which would be nowhere near enough, with this method I’d say realistically the pumps are putting 45,000 liters an hour over it. As far as a weir exit, yer you could do the same thing but have a weir at the top of the bottom tank. In an idea world I would have had 2 drains and then there would be no need to have to do it but didn’t no anything about ponds when I first build the pond 👍
Looking good! Where did you get that stainless water blade?
Was made with the shower mate. Contact Darren @ absolute koi with a design, very reasonable price 👍
@@thekoichannel264 will do thanks.
Hi frankie, was it 2 or 3 rows of holes you done on the spray bar? thanks matey 👍🏻
3 mate 👍
@@thekoichannel264 👍🏻

Good spot mate, I have watched it back a few times and not spotted it!
just quick question. how does water from Drum to BAKKI designed? pumping water from drum or just by gravity? cuz i see your feed line is above your pond water level.
Yes mate, water is pumped from the drum and bio up to the shower 👍
