Hi freddy ,

it depends on how much you put over them , and where there sited , and how the water re-enters the pond .

they are not silent like 99% of koi filters , so a carefully worked out bakki and its position , is essential

i'm not saying there really noisy , on an average sized pond 2-3000 gallons , with the correct pond return , it could virtually be silent , plus a loose fitting cover made from poly carb , would cut it down further and insulate it slightly .

if we was to use mine as an example of noise :

my shower is 3 tear 12ft long and has 30,000 gallons per hour going over it , if i remove the return shoots and covers , i can hear it 140-150ft up the garden !!! and siting next to the pond is quite unpleasant as it is very loud !!

once i put the covers on and the shoots back in place , you only start to hear it 20ft away from the pond , and when sitting by the pond , it sounds like a small water fall

its all about returns and covers , once this is sorted , and is at a level where no one would complain , you have the best filtration system in the world !!!

Red face kois and ponds

hi all,
I have my 6500 gallon pond for 3 months with 2.2b aquadyne filter and cetus sieve. I really don't know why the armonia and nitrite are still there.they are keep up and down. I try many different way to cure the water, but they are still there. If any one can give any advice. I am very appreciation.

Hiya

Beads; not my favorite but putting that to one side few basic questions needed..
  • Whats the stock level in the pond? and what is the temp?
  • How often do you clean the bead?
  • what is the flow rate through it?
  • What levels of Ammonia and Nitrite do you have?
  • What is the KH in the pond and out of the tap

Dave

hiya i run a estro sieve and econo bead 60 bead filter. it took mine over 8 months to get on top of ammonia and nitrite but now its good. you really need to give them time to mature and settle in.
