Thread: Siting of big blues

Where does everybody site their water treatments? I’m thinking of siting prior to my draco feed, as I’m surprised at just how much untreated water gets into the pond via the draco wash cycles, I’d always presumed it was rainwater in some part topping up but with covers on it’s clearly not. Water here is mega soft, so hard water clogging the screen hasn’t been an issue so far, I’ve not cleaned it in 4 months use.

Inside the filter house so no risk of freezing etc.
Pipe into the bottom of lower shower tray coming out beneath the media. It’s there for 2 reasons- handy location and it doesn’t go straight to any bio media where chlorine could cause an issue.

Will definitely site in the filter bay, without the luxury of a filter house I’ll need to insulate that this week with kingspan. Hopefully this puppy will then keep it frost free in there on the cold nights.

So is the general feeling to use the BB’s on top up feed only and not on the feed to the drum?
