Gravity fed system
Hi im new to the forum i have a 2200gallon pond currently gravity fed to a kockneykoi 4 chamber 5000 filter with vortex then i have it pumpfed to a uv then eazypod back to the pond .Im cleaning the the kockney koi out twice a week eazypod about once a month i dont mind cleaning the chamber out been doing it for last 5 years but a bit of a pain im thinking of running 2 eazypods 1 gravity from bottom drain to one then pump fed going through uv back in to pond what are your thoughts please i havent got a lot of space round back of my pond so i cant fit a nexus 210 i suppose eazypod is easier to clean

If it was me I would move the eazy pod but instead of just pump feeding it how about fitting a skimmer To eazy pod and back to pond, gravity and pump return.
Then after the 4 chamber make a moving bed up for loads more bio.
The way you have the eazy at the moment isn’t great as it’s mainly mechanical with Ltd bio, and the 4 chamber is doing that really.

The cost of 2 easy pods won't be far off the cost of a Draco drop in drum.
Wonder if you could drop a Draco into the first multibay chamber?
If that's possible it solves all problems in one go and doesn't involve any new pipework or a change to existing footprint.
Only thing I'm not sure of is whether the drop in range has fittings to fit into the multibay. You'd need to check.
