Cloverleaf filter
Guys I want your thoughts on these filters I’ll attach a pic. As some of you have discussed with me i made my mind up with a nexus 220 but I just can’t get the thing to the garden il have to chuck it over two neighbours fences which is just two much! It won’t go through the house as it’s to hi at 80cm. The highest filter I can get away with getting through the house is 74cm. So looking into these cloverleafs quiet like the designs aswell I must say. What’s your thoughts ?

Old tech no better than a box filter I believe I could be wrong though

Same as my multibay. Labour intensive cleaning . Fines will get thought and I think the bio in a 220 would be a ooad better unless you converted it to a moving bed . Nexus will be better on all points as I see it

I ran an inline clover leaf filter fo many years, looked after the water ok but as the others have said things have moved on.
If I was to get one of these I would want a drum or a sieve infront so I could have a couple of moving beds of k1 in there.
But then if you are looking at a drum you may as well have a bio chamber made up that you can get into your garden!

Cloverleaf filter
The 220 is a no go not even worth me thinking about anymore there’s no way I’m geting it in that garden. Bit of a sore subject as I made my mind up! But I could run a aqua sieve in front of a easy pod I was thinking. From what I been told the easy pods struggle with large debris so thought this wouldn’t be so much a bad set set up. I’m open to ideas though, I just can’t have a unit higher than 74cm otherwise I can’t get it thro the door to the garden. My budget for the filters + pump will be around 1100 so there’s got to be something to suit the requirements surely. Cheers mate

IMG_8733.JPG this is the only other thing I can come up with but concerns me in winter that it could freeze up as it’s essentially a tall shower filter. But I do like the idea it’s another option

Mate I’m loosing my tempah with it now! I just feel to go to the shop with the max I wil spend and buy what I can. I just can’t find a filter that I can get to the back garden through the house has bio and mechanical and all in is under £1100. For me that’s a lot of money to spend on filter, there must be something for me out there

Running heater at low temp?
Covering the pond with polycarb should be enough to stop water temps dipping below 6C for the most...
