Definitely the Sollar Panels are a good shout. I plan on using Solar Panels on my future Pond, yet that might change. However, I would recommend that as it will be 💯% energy sufficient. 👍🙂❤️
There is a lot more head height on the shower so the pump has to work harder or be bigger. Moving water vertically gets expensive. Is one good thing about the nexus’s,
Great to see you dispelling this myth that flukes are brought in to the pond by wxy and z running costs on the sleeper ponds are impressive considering that's closer to size pond most of us have 👍👍
Dispelling the myth? There's a reason for everything. Nothing happens by magic. Do you think that flukes appear out of air? It was likely brought in when he introduced the fish and didn't become an issue until now because of a high water quality and a lot of water in an uncrowded pond. Use logic
Interesting about the costs...I bought a 'smart plug' which allowed me to plug in each item that runs the pond and I can see exactly how much electricity I am using over a 24hr period. Now I get that I am running my small 1500 gallon pond on the 'cheap'. That said my ph and the KH/Alk and the nitrates are all fine and the fish are looking really good. I have a pressure filter, UV and aerator running 24/7 and it's costing me £5.80 a week. I'm pleased I don't have the costs on this indoor pond...even though it is absolutely stunning.
Could you ask him what his unit rate is for elec? Wonder if he’s on a time of use tariff, would certainly be worth swapping to one once he has the solar and battery. Cheap elec at night to charge batteries to run the pond in the day. In the summer free due to solar charging batteries.
Stainless steel feeder. I wonder who will be getting one of those 🤔😁 Thanks for the fluke treatment info also Tim, nice to see what others are using and good to hear it's working. Cheers.
Tim - really informative - thanks - but its not really the “Full” running costs - at a minimum it should include water and food ? (And it would be more useful to say how many KwH and the unit cost he pays so others can calculate for their electric tariffs). Its a cracking pond though
When you look at the pond it really makes you feel how much you’d want one like it, then you see the costs and the desire starts to disappear, i gather that’s at today’s ridiculous rates so I suppose prior to the price increase that would be halved
Why is it seems everyone in the UK uses the grey SCH80 pipes and fittings on above ground low pressure applications? It looks nice but dang is it expensive.
My air-source heater is costing £220 a month at the moment holding the pond at 20 degrees, once the outside temperature drops below 6-7 degrees the air source has to work a lot harder. That's a 12kw AS with an inverter reduce to 1kw maximum usage pre hour.
Very impressive Tim , the distribution of the fluke treatment in the big pond was very impressive. No stirring water with my 8 foot long pan net ! The guy has patience too I’d have had that pond full of fish , patience certainly is a virtue 😊 Very impressive scientific set up
Ive got a stainless steel bakki i made in work im a sheet metal worker / ductwork fitter an it cost me fuck all tim boss video as ever mate boss channel
One of the most genuine guys you’ll ever meet and a dream pond!

Some great info for a budding koi keeper!

Lovely set up. Funny how it looked like the fish stopped to watch the door open @5:42
Haha
Interested in how the solar panels go , but I don't think they'll make enough power even in summer , maybe help running cost alittle .
Well done for another great video and very interesting about the running costs 👍
Great pond Tim, thanks for the costings on it. Interesting to see the figures. 👍

My own but smaller indoor pond is still 'work in progress' so I was concerned about the parasites. Any idea how they got into this closed system?
I don’t really know. It’s frustrating
That's a great question..
Don't know what to say mine looks like a puddle in garden haha fantastic looks amazing 👌
How much for the r.s feeder and how does it run..
A lot of good information Beautiful pond
Awesome set up 👍
Excellent video, so informative and helpful and some very lucky fish!

Stainless steel lee hadfield name all over that feeder 😁
@@jasonhind4172 Exactly who I was thinking lol 👍
@@Simonsimps 😄👍
Great video very useful information good to no 👍
What is his price per unit?, used to calculate the costs. Mine has risen to £0.44 per unit!
Those have seriously grown!
Beautiful pond 😍
what is your return on investment?
What speed are the pumps running at on the outside pond
80% on the 10,000 Varipump and 30% on the 20,000
On the smaller outdoor pond with the 20,000 variopump and the 10,000 variopump what rate is he running them please?
10,000 at 80% on skimmer line. 20,000 running 6000L per hour

I believe it’s 36kw per day. It was more for the electrics because of the current situation

Yes I think so. Don’t forget, not many have 8000 gallons. A one filter system for £2 per day isn’t bad
Are those Nexus water pump costs for running at 100% on each one?
80%

It’s not that expensive here.

20C is a massive luxury tho
@@TimWaddington turned down from 23
Is that absolute more effective then fluke M?
At the moment it seems to be good
It seems like his shower flow is a little slow. I recently took mine apart and only 50% was getting wet.
He turned it down on purpose
That pond is amazing you should visit him more 😉 but was really interesting to hear and see all the electric costs 👍
Very impressive Tim , the distribution of the fluke treatment in the big pond was very impressive. No stirring water with my 8 foot long pan net !

Great pond great ideas great koi & works with a great dealer ❤️

Thanks mate
great vid as usual ...for me i describe this as a corporate office pond ..no character atall ...its like the anti christ of koi ponds lol
Black no milk no sugar
Waste of time quoting cost in pounds, should be in terms of wattage.
Oh well.
realy worry how some people will cope this winter with ponds and running costs
All that for goldfish
