    RTF 5500 Filter System - Free to a good home

    We are about to close the pond down due to my working away from home and not having time to keep on top of the water quality. To start with I have one of my filter systems - RTF 5500 going to a free home. It will come with Agro stones and clam shells if wanted, along with all piping etc.

    Any further information, please let me know.

    This would be absolutely perfect for me to run on a temporary pool whilst I extend the pond!

    Unfortunately not enough days off to make the journey.... so if anyone down south takes it and fancies renting it out to me for a Month I'd be very interested.

    I have a very big bead filter sitting round waiting for me to get round to selling it thought I might wait untill the spring You could borrow it if you wanted - you would need to fill it with media though it will take 200ltrs of K1/micro k1 or beads.
    6000g in ground koi pond
    +3000g lily/Anoxic pond attached
    29 koi (40 to 65cm)
    Bottom drain, Mid water & Skimmer to Drum
    JBR boichamber->Blue eco 500 pump ->below surface return.
    Blue Eco 240 -> Large MB -> Waterfall -> Planted Anoxic pond (25 baskets)

    Afternoon all,

    just a very quick follow up on this filter. I have had quite a bit of interest in it but need to ensure that if you are interested in it, you are aware that it is a seriously big bit of kit. Dimensions are as below; I only just about managed to fit it into my van, so you get some idea.

    As it is still connected to the pond, I will be looking to hopefully disconnect this Saturday. After it has been disconnected i shall message on here for all.


    L50 x W25 x H41 inches

    4 ft x 2 ft x 3.4 ft

    127cm x 63.4 cm x 104.14

    Sorry all,

    UPDATE.

    Filter is now disconnected and stored awaiting collection. Please note, this item is large and quite heavy, it will need at least 2 people to lift. It comes with all media, pipes, shells etc and must be taken as one. I cant split as I need it going asap. This is also placed on various sites and has seen over 25 people asking to collect. Pics as attached. Contact please by Text/SMS to 07800 606084, please do not call. Collection by this Monday day time would be very much appreciated.

    Chris

    Lol, you are welcome mate. I did say it was quite a substantial bit of kit as used by professionals but over the top for my setup. Make good use of it and let me know how you get on ?
