K1 and K1 Micro Mixed together
Hi all,
So the unthinkable happened. After a week of -6 each night and below minus in the day the outlet from my micro bead filter become frozen where the pipework slits enable it to go out the outlet
This resulted in both the K1 and the micro barrels over flowing. Fortunately i had installed a float switch so it never emptied the pond.
Problem I have now is i'd stupidly failed to put the caps on the pipe work taking water from the K1 barrel to the micro barrel and the micro out, so this means i have approx 160litres of both sized beads mixed together.
How on earth can I separate them out or is it foolish to try and pick them all out and just throw it all and buy new?
Thanks for any advice

You could try using a garden sieve with the right size mesh. A lot cheaper than replacing all the media
