    Drum filter wanted

    Have come to the stage in the pond build where I need to install filtration as now rapidly running out of time before the fish are evicted from there winter home due to house sale.

    Due to this am now looking for a used drum as the money isn't anywhere close for a new one. Can anyone help?? Willing to collect or arrange a courier if too far due to the pandemic.

    Thanks

    If you cant find 2nd hand , these might be worth a look . Seem very reasonably priced

    Thanks for the link, I have seen them and at that price (a little under what I have) I am tempted.
    It's just the gamble of going down the unknown brand route.
    I'm gonna keep fingers crossed for a miracle and one coming up in my price range

    I know what you mean . The guy seems ok , but the risk with these small operations is if its a sustainable business . Bit of a gamble , like you say .

    The next level would be something like the AEM Easy drum or the Filtreau at around £1k . Then you`ll need a bio unit as well .

    You might drop lucky and find one 2nd hand , maybe from a pond closure or upgade !

    Could you not build a temporary set-up for your fish , which will give you more time to find something ?

    I have one of the ebay drums - works as expected. Uses exactly the same float switches as a draco, 58micron mesh and the spares should you need them you can buy off Amazon/Ebay. The build quality is good and the guy deserves to make a go of things. They're the right price, infact they're the price drums SHOULD be. Given they all do the same, why not give one a try?
