I was asked to do a 'How to' video on cleaning the Advanced filter and Cetus combo.
So we have a 4000 gallon pond, run on a single Botton drain direct to a Cetus Sieve

Then a 20,000 Varipump takes the water from the Sieve direct to a 30" Advanced Kplus filter

It's a great pond and a great system. Works an absolute treat!

Great video Tim - good reminder, I upgraded to a Cetus sieve after watching an earlier video - brilliant bit of kit, shame the don’t do lids 😂 I visited your shop and stole your idea to use a container lid 😉🤫👍. I must admit I wasn’t purging my backwash for long enough until I installed an inline clear pipe definitely helps and water clarity is spot ok 👍 🙏

Thx for this. I'm setting up a the same two units as addl filtration and this will come in handy.

Hi Tim, nice helpful upload! Be interesting to see the new equipment to replace the tempests. And would it be possible to see just how good the water is with the bead and sieve and the tempests are before they get change out? Thank you

Erm… yeah I’ll do a short. It’s pretty crystal to be honest.

Nexus 220 and Advanced bead working really well for me, supplied by you guys. Previous video mentioned experimenting with the flow rate through the 24 inch bead. Any advice please Tim. Maybe a bit slower than the manufacturers recommendation?

I did a video on it. However I do need to do a few tests on mine. Just with new fish etc it’s been hard

Where do you get the lid for the Cetus sieve ?
@TimWaddington 4 ай бұрын
I think it’s the lid off a storage box

Been working fine for me. Similar size pond around 4kgallons. Running the cetus and 30"bead can't fault it really. Running a 220 on the skimmer and also a tempest and little shower. Water is spot on 6" down and no fines.
@TimWaddington Жыл бұрын
Yeah I’m seeing the same. I do think cleaning weekly is key. Will be trying something new on the skimmer lines shortly
@adamrudge6480 Жыл бұрын
@Quality Nishikigoi Be interested to see what you go with on the skimmer line 👍. Quick question regarding the bead. What kind of feeding has it been able to handle. (Bio wise) As there's a fair amount of k+ in them (150 litres) on the 30".

@Quality Nishikigoi Thanks for the reply. That's a good amount, considering it's a static bed.

Quick question. What causes air to build up in the top of the bead?
@TimWaddington Жыл бұрын
It can be air in the media or a leaking pipe sucking in air

I’m running this exact set up but putting it back in the pond via bakki shower, I’ve also got two tempest in situ running from my skimmer, I’m really struggling with fines though. Any advice please Tim.

Looks a bit of a faff, bio chamber and a drum and I don’t have to touch anything for months at a time.
@TimWaddington Жыл бұрын
That’s great. Enjoy. The advanced filter, when mature will take out smaller particles than a drum. Which I am seeing now.
@ces69 Жыл бұрын
Wonderful! But just how many moving parts, pumps and motors are there in a drum that can go wrong, leaving the filter not working?
@Bowie. Жыл бұрын
I chose this rig over a drum, purely from a reliability standpoint. So many potential points of failure in a drum and make no mistake, they will all fail eventually.
@JamieP.London Жыл бұрын
I get what you’re saying but my drum has been on for 3.5 years now and I’ve not touched it, never even had to clean the mesh.
