Thanks Dave, quite a lot for me to consider, apart from moving the filter next to the pond it looks like I'm heading for problems . Does increasing the flow rate alleviate the problem ?
The pipe to the filter will have a couple of slide values and an opening so I'll be able to purge .

The filter house has been cleared and ready for the move to it's new position, its base build is in progress.
It's all coming together quite quickly now, should be a few interesting weeks ahead .

Looking good Eifion.
No increasing the flow makes head loss worse.
Would you like me to do a video with what happens on my filter?
You never know you maybe fine, trial and error with the pump, and your drum may be ok. How about asking them to install another 4” pipe in the trench just incase you need to add another feed to the drum.

Filter house moved and base complete.
Pipework lose fitted. The drum filter is arriving on Tuesday, will experiment with positioning of the filter to see the affect of head loss .
Dechlorinator arrived and un-boxed .
Should be some interesting developments over the next few weeks

Look at you Eifion, all excited like a little lad opening his presents on Christmas morning pleased to see
the cows haven't gone to far, and your filter house reminds me of ''little house on the prairie'' all looking good.
Ps....nice legs...lol .

Hello all, here's last weeks update : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YbVc68EGHao&t=323s
Had a few rainy days so not much progress on the pond but the drum filter arrived so I've done an in-depth video of it ( let me know if you have any questions ) and I paid a visit to my local koi dealer .
Sorry Ann, no wildlife this week

You live in paradise Eifion,please be carefull useing the 3 stage purifier i lost a lot of fish a long time ago relying on them as it didnt take out all the chlorine,till i heard of Sodium Thiosulphate dechlorinater very cheap,i am a bit paranoid about it now https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sodium-Th...QAAOxyNo9SoPgf
Here is a link if you want to get some,and you need some Dpd4 tablets they check if there is any chlorine present go on Manky Sanky site he explains it all.
You are doing a great job there and love where you live.John

Right, not happy Eifion, you've got clothes on...……..the dog looks bored...……….and nearly no wildlife .
But as there is a glimpse of the view I will let you off..
Agree with john '' paradise '' .

Hello all, here's last week's update : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1aGhuRs6tU
Finishing off the last few jobs before the real fun starts, the pond is now up to it's final height, pond liner on order so will hopefully fit this next week along with the window .
The filter house has been rebuilt, painted and the filters in ready for plumbing .
I've reserved some koi, couldn't wait
Anne, I've managed to get a new species in this episode …..
Here's a few pics :
