Thread: EA k+ advanced filter

Anyone got one of these? They’ve been out a while and not seen many user reviews. They seem to like them at quality nishikigoi.

excellent

This is it though, little or no other reviews other than QN

As Spongebob points out, it appears to be just a bead filter for trapping bacteria and parasites etc, just with an expensive price tag (starting at £1000).

Doesn't look any different to the used bead filter I bought a couple of weeks back complete with new blower for £200.

When it came to cleaning the thing out, shocked is not the word, I was out in the back garden with conservatory door open and once I stirred up all the media the smell was so bad I felt sick. Went indoors and the wife asked why the house stunk of sewage.

The dirt in the bottom was all congealed and so disgusting I eventually hoovered out all the media and binned it. Still stunk after jet washing it so its currently sitting there filled with water and bleach.

I also noted in the video where he had the blower on and said it is all being agitated now, but if you peep down the bleed hole you can see there was definitely media not moving at all.

I bought mine for the pumped skimmer line so will only be surface debris going in, and after what I've witnessed with mine I definitely would not want one as a main filter.

They are sold and used for swimming pools I believe so were certainly not originally designed to deal with the muck a koi pond produces.

Interesting! I knew bead filters are well known for this problem, but wondered if this K+ media made any difference. I think even on the video QN suggested giving it an extra long clean once a month, which makes me think there could be similar problems….

Thanks folks!
