Are all Bakki Showers the same
Hi All,
considering putting a small bakki shower as additional / back up / oxgen supply to my pool.
I know they were all the rave around 8 years ago, then they appeared to fall out of favour, now they are back in fashion.
There are quite a few around but what should i be looking for
Most are plastic will they distort ?
Some have trays others drilled holes.
Some are single 1.5 pipe others are double
2 tier , 3 tier ?
I know the media is important but just like to hear if there is anything I should avoid regarding the showers themselves.
It will not be my primary filtration, so don't want to spend loads.
Cheers

For me a shower is a shower, mine is 3 tier, the more tiers you have the more media you can get in it, its plastic and its a medium size, I think its 1.2 meters long, the base on mine is a mesh, I prefer the mesh as it has less chance of standing water and will give a better flow, but both ways will work, my inlet spray bar is 2", the bigger the shower the more flow you need so the bigger the pipe size

Milk crates can be used for showers, too, if you feel like going the DIY route:

(you might need to put smaller bio media in net sacks)

I love mine - It made a big difference to my pond water And hasn’t distorted although the bottom tray did bend a little while On an uneven surface During some Pond works. It straightened out fine afterwards though.
