Thread: New filter ordered ;-)

Fed up with cleaning my EasyPod every other day, took a long time making a decision - mainly because of water level in my filter shed - finaly decided on the Burtons BD-150 Combi.
Had a good chat with Andrew yesterday and set it all in motion, about 3 weeks to wait

Any Burtons RDF users here? Anything I should beware of?

Cheers, John

Yeah, having too much time to enjoy your coffee by the pond and potentially scalding your mouth from drinking it to quick after having nothing to do!

Delivered today, slightly ahead of the 3 weeks promised - bloody marvellous! It's a couple of weeks away from being installed, when my lad has some days off work to do the heavy lifting, as they say and all the neccesary bits being in my hands!

Looking forward to getting it in and running is a massive understatement

Good luck with it John they say they are very good drums.

I run 2 BD700’s and absolutely love them, and customer service second to none, you won’t regret buying Burtons

It's in and running beautifuly - after a bit of a dodgy start!
My son has done 90% of the work, I'm just the brains behind it all getting the EZpod out, changing all the pipework to suit, moving electrics - not without a few swear words

We couldn't get the crouzet app to connect at first, but about 6PM Monday, after hours - I called Burtons for help and within a few minutes Andrew called me back and took us through downloading and installing new software which fixed it. Most excellent customer service from Andrew at Burtons right from initial enquiry, sorting my order, delivery ahead of time and the superb help when needed, very pleased I chose Burtons

With mature media from the EZpod and half the new media so far, the pond is clearer than ever, fish happy and getting fed again after a week off.

No NPS or NFS expected as the Bakki shower has been running throughout, and the old media in bags in for starters. Already using probably 75% LESS water than I was for cleaning the EZpod, looking foward to it showing on future water bills!

It was too manic to get photos while the install was going on, I'll get some soon.

Happy days.

John

PS EazyPod for sale in the sales pages.

How far above water level does this drum need to be?

Burtons specify 548mm from floor level - 170mm from top of drum. TBH it was the best match for my existing pipework and Koi Shack, so helped make my decision.

I'm running a few mm under, after talking to Andrew and confirming that's fine.

I've just been out to the shack and put in the rest of the new media, I got 25 L each of the Burtons AquaFlow stuff and as said, in with the old K1 Micro it's mixing in much quicker than I would have believed possible. I've got about 50L of K1 in store too, so will be giving at least some of that a good Virkon bath, then adding that soon.
