Great update Andy the vibration would drive me nuts lol sorry think winter has arrived here so cold at night put my covers on yesterday if it’s nice in day will remove some of them 🙏🐟🐟🐟🐟🙏
11am first thing was to clean the air stones by scrubbing in salt water then place them into the winter position just 2" under the top of the water. I never have air stones on the bottum of the pond in winter all you are doing is moving the warm water to the top so dropping the temperature. The same for water return if I have the pump on in the winter I always put an extension pipe onto the return so water goes down the bottom pipe and comes back to the bottum.
How to float a 10" air ring on the pond a small block of polystirene and the filter hung below 6" down this also makes more oxygen as the bubbles hit the block and spread out across the pond down to 2.3c tonight.
Hi Lau, thanks for that. Yes gotta try something to get the noise down. Does my head in when I'm working in the garage. That wire was just out of eye view and yes lucky I just checked the footage before putting it all together. Would loved to have been been fly on the wall with people watching it shouting at the tele, 'you've trapped the wire' 😄😄😄cheers 😉👍
Whole house was 😱 screaming 🙀 he’s got the wire trapped !! The season has gone so quickly, albeit we got off to a late start didn’t we. Another nice vid Andy
Had a similar issue with my airtech 130's, ended up using some sound deadening material stuck to the inside of the top cover which reduced the sound quite a bit to the point of it not being annoying, older pumps use to have some in there so not sure why these companies are cutting corners these days
Hiya Martyn, watched your video last night getting your frames out ready. I'm going to wait as long as poss unless there's a sudden change is weather temps? 🤔😉👍Been looking to se if the gopro 9 has a filter I could use?? 🤔
Terrific video as usual Andy. Try to isolate noise at your pump be lifting by hand off your bench, if this works and the pump sounds quieter what you have is a resonance from your bench, put a bit of filter mesh under a piece of ply or similar then another piece of mesh on top then stand your pump on top should be good to go. Hope it helps
Question what water temperature gadget ??? have you got? Or place to use it ..any advice ideas cheers .. from me in suffolk .. Keep up the good videos...... 👍
Hiya, I use 2 aquarium thermometers that I picked up off ebay. They have the probe on one end and the display on the other. I have one in the pond and the other in the filter system so they are about a degree out. I'll try to include them in a future video if you want...😉👍
I was surprised the change of diaphragms didn’t cure the noise. It definitely sounded like a split diaphragm. I have a Jebao air pump and it seems relatively quiet and it stands up to the weather too.
Try putting a rubber mat under the air pump. It might help. Some pumps are just noisy. I bought a Jebao pump and that was noisy. I went back to a Hailea pump and it's a lot better.
Sounds like you need to just lift the pump up on to a softer surface, sound like it's vibrating on the counter where you have it on Andy. My pump did the same and I just placed it on a thick rubber Matt, to help with the vibration. Give it a go and see mate 👍
Bernie Sparrow Hi regards your air pump. Why don’t you sit it on a piece of polystyrene about an inch thick. I have done that and it works great Regards Bernie
Great video Andy just a suggestion with your covers get some cheap angle brackets for the legs as it will add a lot more strength and less maintenance/breakages. Pond and fish are looking really good 👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle Sorry Andy😉 but I do feel your pain, I had one on my tropical tank that was just the same, I had to bin it in the end it was so frustrating 👍🏻
Boost good bacteria in the pond why buy liquid bacteria or balls for the filter system. When you can make your own mixture quickly and better than any you can buy. Get a container bucket will do fill it halfway with dirty water out of your filter system put your potato peelings carrot peelings and Brussels into the bucket cover with a plastic bag and leave in the shed for a week or two. Drain a little of the water off and drop into your filter system or pond it’s packed with good bacteria. Plus you can keep topping it up and putting it in the pond system every month maintaining good bacteria.
That is a simple job find the power supply and just check the brushes are not hitting the plate. The pond keeper is going to get hit hard over the next few months not only with the rise in gas and electricity but the cost of fish food and other products which are likely to cost 40% more. Although the cost of electric and gas will not rise by more than another £90 next year the cost of the daily charge will be going up to 72p a day per household duel fuel. My shed and greenhouse are linked by a burner which will have to go I burn waste wood and I don’t want a £1000 fine. My son will also be effected he has a big wood burner in his kitchen to heat the house. Under the Clean Air Act my local authority said the whole of the authority is a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler or burn coal or wood if located in a designated smoke control area. What gets me is the farmers all around me burn the fields every year. The push for net zero economies has meant countries are opting out of burning fossils fuels and are instead placing their faith in wind and solar power. Most parts of the country have a ban on burning coal and now a total ban looks likely on burning wood. The sale of loose house coal delivered direct to the customer will end by 2023 at the same time you will only be able to burn Woodsure ready to burn fuel in wood burners. Currently it is illegal to burn wood or house coal on an open fire. If you have a stove you should only burn dry wood Woodsure. The government introduced new regulations for customers looking to burn wood in Stoves, this came into effect in May 2021 a full ban on wood burning looks likely from April 2022 The intention is to improve air quality, but it will also change the types of fuel you can use in your log burning stove. Wet wood will be unlawful and may be a surprise to some. Only dry logs ie kiln dried logs will be the only logs burned in any home appliance. Dry logs must have a moisture content of less than 20% and produce very little smoke when burning logs and can only be Woodsure.
Talking about tap water testing my water quality is very soft Kh out of the tap is yellow and stays yellow Ph is 6.5 Nitrate is very low in my area I tested once before and it stayed clear when I rang up and asked I was told its 40-50 mg/L. My area is 500 feet above sea level our water comes from underground it seems big caverns have been dug out and water comes from these via a pumping station if it gets low we switch over to kielder water. It’s got me thinking do I need my 3-Stage Dechlorinator.
All air pumps are the same the only difference is the case and the stuck on name buy the cheapest I have always liked Jebao I have had the 80 for 3 years no problems put your pump to sleep try 3 thicknesses of filter wool under it sounds like vibration to me.
That sounds like a stuck electro magnet its vibrating against the metal plates holding the power coil. See which one is sticking and just move the coil plate back a whisper or the thickness of a bit of paper it should have 2 or 4 nuts on loosen on the one sticking its like the tappets on old car engines you just ajust.
@@KoiPondLifestyle Then go buy cheap my friend I have always gone Jabao have a look at Stuart at Discount Leisure Products at this time of year wont have much in but maybe do a deal also Emma at Blue Bay that air pump you have seems small I would of thought a 60 or 80 would be better,
Andy I made a wooden frame 12" high the length of my pond for the poly carb sheets to sit on so any rain/ sleet/snow will slide off, it may the ends blocking off though.somet to do during winter???? B.T.W did you knock a bit of bark off your knuckle during air pump fix.
Hope your well Andy 👍👍2 quick questions ...was it i or 9 days between doses ? And where did you get your special mixing jug from ? Cheers mate stay safe 🌈🌈
Hiya. What dosing do you refer to Ian? If you meant the Lernex Pro, I re-dosed after 7 days. If you mean the Fluke M, I re-dose again after 7 days. I recycled the mixing jug using an old protein tub washed out.. cheers 😉👍
I would give that pump to someone you don’t like and buy a new one. I have two jecod pumps on bungees and you have to touch them to make sure they are still running.
Hay I have my air pump on a small sheet of polystyrene/ celotex / foam cushion . It reduces noise from the feet !!! vibrations.. Or place the air pump in the air hang it ? Ha ha
Great video mate, all 3 of us were bitting nails and claws when you trapped the earth wire 😁. Try a rubber mate or foam under the pump. Also when repairing the covers and there was a loud noise. Was that the air pump 😂
😁😁😁 Better than any Eastenders ending... It was either a B52 or the air pump... I'm going to try a softer surface to see if reducing the vibrating reduces the noise?? Watch this space...😉👍
