Thanks for sharing. Looks a fair amout of removal on a daily basis! I run a protein skimmer along with my sieve. Works well together. Lovely garden also!
Really interesting thanks paul, how do you keep the slugs and snails off your hostas they look perfect mine always get some slug damage stunning garden x
thank you for the encouragement to do the same,,,,, the music playing in the background,,, its soothing to hear,, it feeds my soul,, may i know the title of it,,, please,,, thank you
sorry for late reply Panda, the song is called light on the gold shore and its by game of trees, thankyou so much for watching my videos...take care my new friend
i dont know if there is a gravity version...the trouble you might have is that on a pump fed sieve there is a overflow for when and it will gets blocked up...on a gravity version i would think that if it got blocked up then theres a chance you could lose all the pond water. sorry i cant help any more but if you do find a solution can you let me know, as this is useful info...thanks Bash and thanks for watching mate
@@PaulsKoipond its possible.. only if u had a butterfly valve in the incoming pipe then pump it out . I seen a video what a DIY one made ..worked really well . Butterfly valve.. what i mean is a control valve to control the water from coming in so it doesn't overflow. Thanks
You could use it on a gravity feed. The overflow would only let out a certain amount of water from the pond to the same level of the overflow. Problem with a pump fed system is that if it got blocked then the pump would continue pumping water into the sieve and out the overflow and would eventually drain the pond. Another thing to think about is that a pump fed sieve will get clogged up more because the pump sucks in crap and basically blends it to a pulp so you end up cleaning it out more
@@PaulsKoipond could add a catch or add another bottom drain to open up to hose out or add a drawer in the front as a catch, hose off then pull the front drawer out to dump. Or something similar
Are you cleaning it daily? Is that free floating algae or just from green water that collects? I have the same filter and haven’t hooked it up yet. Just running a pressure filter presently.
hello mate, this one does have an overflow hole but the pipe from it joins the return pipe...if i could or when i can re position the sieve then i would probably change to 2 pipes and put the overflow through another filter before the return to the main filter....thanks for watching john

Not tried a protein skimmer yet mate
@@PaulsKoipond I find it great for DOCs, especially if run with my ozone generator.
Don’t know why but I found this video interesting and entertaining 😂.
thanks mate...i think haha
Yep same with mine on 300 Microns, Paul. Just goes to show what they collect.
hello mate, yes stops it all going through the main filter and less clean outs
what size mesh?
Really interesting thanks paul, how do you keep the slugs and snails off your hostas they look perfect mine always get some slug damage stunning garden x
Probably the frogs in the wildlife pond...but i do keep an eye on them and as soon as i notice damage then theres normally a snail nearby

Hi .. nice video ..
Could you use this sieve on a gravity fed system.. i know its pumped ..any ideas on how it can be used .. many thanks

I like this but would be nice to have a catch clean out at the bottom and just hose it off once a day into a clean out.
Thats a good idea mate

I had to clean it daily mate...im going to sell it as now i have a nexus 320 it works just as good
What kind of sieve is this? Needing to add one to my pond and not sure where to start
Its a compact pump fed sieve filter...made by aqua forte i think
Lot of insects in the sieve how do they get in with lid on
They must fly up the outlet pipe..they are not normally there but i think its a certain time of year.....they do no harm
Hi Paul,I have the same sieve as you but mine has an overflow pipe on it,Where’s yours has it been sealed up.
hello mate, this one does have an overflow hole but the pipe from it joins the return pipe...if i could or when i can re position the sieve then i would probably change to 2 pipes and put the overflow through another filter before the return to the main filter....thanks for watching john
What sieve is this please
its made by aqua forte and its called Compact Sieve Pump Fed ...i bought it on amazon
