I have been offered a nexus 200 with a answer fitted. Is this better or worse than one fitted with the eazy conversion?

Daran

I would go for one with a easy if possible if I had the choice

markf1fan

i would not have it at all and go sieve and bead filter.

I was thinking of fitting a eazy, there is one on ebay at the moment. I can't find anything that expains what the advatage the eazy makes.
I understand the argument about nexus verses other types, but I'm on a limited buget and the nexus is very very cheap!
I'm buying ready for when I rebuild my 1000 gallon pond and make it 2500gallons.

the problem with nexus filters is they dont keep the water clear of floating particals, when i built mine last year before i brought my sieve and bead filter i looked at 5 big ponds and all had nexus filters on and to say the water looked crap is putting it good. i then went to a dealer who then said they sold 5 bead filters to 1 nexus filter. i understand you are prob getting it cheap but if you look on ebay your get a bead filter easy for less then £350

yes I agree but this nexus was next to nowt! I intend to leave room in the filter area to change to a sieve/bead filter if I'm not happy. I'm a ebay hunter so if one comes up cheap I may change.

markf1fan

ok mate well its your choice, even if i was given one for free i would still not fit one, but having seen how poor they are on ponds it has put me off them for sure. good luck mate mark

well a plan to put a nexus to the test then later will install a bead filter and let u all know how it goes

DaveHolme

Well I will only go for the bead filter if the Nexus is no good! The new pond will be started in the next few weeks once the existing koi are moved to a temp pond.

markf1fan

i look forward to seeing both of your reports, but having seen 5 ponds already for myself i know your be gutted in time and will go bead filter in time.
