Very through, and extremely helpful ! Thank you ... wish I would have found this before trying on my own. But, next time ! lol

Do you also rinse out the inside of the tank once all the beads are out? Or do you leave some of the muck in there?

[@jerseyshorepondscapesvideos]

clean it all out.

We have the Aqua up ultima II 2000 and every year it gets clogged with algae, how do we clean the beads to reuse?

[@jerseyshorepondscapesvideos]

follow what I do in the video, take the beads out, and wash them. These beads will last for many years without a problem, just make sure that you backwash regularly, and keep the beads clean. take them out, wash them off and put them back in. I do this at the end of every season, when I shut down the pond for winter.

Do you service South Jersey 08070

Sorry, you're pretty far from me, over an hour and a half. I live in Monmouth county. I would be glad to answer any questions, and help you in any way that I can. It's hard for me to take the time to travel far, especially in the spring when I'm under a lot of pressure to open all of my client's ponds.

Want to change out my beads to another type. I have a Gc tech bead filter. Do I use the blower to remove the water before sucking out the beads? Thank you

Really ineffective to do a how-to video and not show how to do it.

[@jerseyshorepondscapesvideos]

Sorry, I tried to show as many pictures as I could on each step of the process along the way as I described what to do and how to do it. I understand that a video of the entire cleaning from start to finish may be better, but it would be very long. At least over an hour. So I tried my best to cover all the bases in a shorter (still a half hour) video with pictures. But I get your point. Maybe in the future I'll do another video on this with more video clips.
