I've gotta say...this is the best filter DIY ever!!! My husband and I built one of these large scale. Our pond is like a giant aquarium in our back yard. It's 16'x3'x4'. We've had the filter about a year. I've only had to clean it out twice. With our old setup, I was cleaning twice a week! It's really an amazing setup. We built ours with a 40gal trash can. I highly recommend this for a pond. It was so easy to build. All the directions were understandable. Can't say enough how much we love this filter!!

I actually built my own filter kind of similar I have pots with lava rock and piping along with elephant ears growing in them. Those elephant ears absolutely love it and are thriving all while pulling all the ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates along with other stuff in the water. I need to rework it and improve it but I’m glad for you fellow KZbinrs showing me your guys filter setups. I utilize a lot of your guys ideas and I’ve been quite successful. I’m waiting to buy a house then I will start uploading to my channel about pond stuff to hopefully share my experiences and give others like myself multiple ideas to diy their own stuff and have their setup their own ways.

Nice project and excellent presentation. Quick remark; I've built a similar setup but inverted the filter where the initial intake to the filter's first contact is with the larger media and as the filtration process clears the water, finer media is encountered (long way of saying start with lava rock and ends with fine material.) It improved my water quality by about 20%. (Hard to improve on good quality already achieved with this good system. For final water polishing, I added some plants (Aquaponics!!) in the outlet. Happy fish, happy plans and beautiful amazingly clear water. Well done!!

This is by far the simplest and most entertaining process I’ve ever seen. THANK YOU…I think I can do this myself!!! And if your cuteness didn’t reel me in to your channel (I’m an old woman so I can get away with saying that), your little girls at the end clinched it for me!!

So I don't normally comment on videos but I just had to thank you for this tutorial. I have a fully stocked and planted clawfoot tub pond in my garden that, even with a pump claiming to handle a volume twice its size, has never gotten the water clean without clogging within a matter of 2 days. That's been a ton of cleaning this past year, but this weekend me and my hubby followed your guide and built our own filter system and I can finally see my fish and plants at the bottom! Its amazing and we ended up having everything on hand, so we only had to purchase the pump. Thank you sooo much!

I have made a few trashcan filters over the years. I always used flexible tubes for my pipes and always had the intake at the bottom so the water comes in at the bottom and filters as it slowly rises through media then flows out my two output pipes and usually a third slightly higher overflow emergency pipe at the top. I liked watching your design though gave me a few ideas about raising my pump higher in my pond. great video and very good ideas.

Thanks for sharing! One of the best ways to keep your pond crystal clear is with a drum filter. It works automatically, so you won’t need to spend much time on upkeep. Plus, it’s affordable to run - just around half a dollar a month in electricity. If you want clean water without the hassle, it’s worth considering.

Love it, nice and simple plan. I do a very similar design. No need to have the media within a bucket in the bin.. only minimising the available space but it's such a big flow rate it doesn't really matter. Another advantage moving the pump to the other end is you're getting better flow through the pond and not re-filtering the cleaned water.

That's so badass. Years ago, I used to make my own filters for turtle tanks, water snake cages, etc. by using a power head, 3 liter soda bottle and media. Just cut the top of the bottle off to the desired height, then drill a hole in the bottom on the side. Using the rubber aquarium tubing, run the tubing into the hole on the side of the bottle and up to the power head suction cupped to the side of the aquarium. Then, stack media in the bottle, plug in and bam, we have a biological filter. That trash can pond filter is genius. I love it. I live in western Washington, just outside of Seattle, and i want a small pond with a couple of koi, as the weather is always cloudy, sometimes rainy, cool and winters are moderate. the winter varies from the high teens with snow to mild, 30's with no snow. the cold lingers for months which is why fish selections are very limited. So, I'm planning on using your brilliant trashcan idea. Although, I will probably be using a 50 gal Brute trashcan, as my pond will be around 9' L x 4' W x 3' D. as the fish will need the depth to survive the winters.

Thinking 2 upgrades: 1. Water return set higher and a filter drain added to remove settled solids that will collect in the bottom. 2. Direct the spray bar arms in opposite directions to disperse flow over a larger field of the media. This might also add some circular filtration keep solids from reflowing into the tank, and later removed via the drain mentioned in item 1.

@tshoelace
@tshoelace 3 жыл бұрын
In the past, that quilt batting has been pretty cheap but, if you want to rinse it out (use a backwards flow) do that with Non-Tap Water; highly filtered to get the chemicals out. The rinsed out batting will look stained but it will also keep whatever good bacteria that eats nitrates and nitrites alive and in place. Another thing is to have 2 layers: rinse both out the first time it gets full and gross looking. Replace the BOTTOM layer with a fresh, unused layer and put one of the rinsed layers back on top. The NEXT time you clean out the batting, put the rinsed out bottom layer (from the last cleaning) on top and put a fresh layer on the bottom of your 2 layers. Again, this will keep the good bacteria going.

Safety wise, you can just get a drill that has an auxiliary handle and it will be fine most likely. Maybe running it in reverse will keep the plastic from cracking as the bit grabs? I've never heard that before, but I've wondered if it was a thing, so I'll try it next build!

@@christined3953 you can do it either way. I find in reverse it takes longer but reduces the plastic burrs.

This video is now 2 years old. After using this system for almost three years would you change anything for longevity of the filter. Thank you for teaching us. Great video.

Good idea. One recommendation I would make is to swap your intake/exit locations. By adding a downpipe to the bottom and putting the outflow up top you get more water contact with the media plus any debris is stuck at the bottom as it can't make its way up. You're method works but you may eventually end up with debris flowing out instead of settling to the bottom.

What a great set up! Easy to understand instructions with a bit of humour. Brilliant video! I was looking for a simple type of filter for our wildlife/swim pond and needed an idea for a filter going into the top wetland pond then down over the falls into the lower pond. This is exactly what I was looking for! I may actually implement the black filter cloth though instead of the poly fill...it can be brought out and hosed off, hung on the line and back into service again. (A tip from a friend who builds small ponds for us budget and eco minded folks...) Thank you for making this video!!!💚

Thanks for posting. I am making mine for my small pond with a 5 gallon bucket and some flex tubing instead and some pvc pipe. I'm going to feed the pond water into the bottom of the bucket and feed it back out into the pond from the top as it fills up. that way the sediment can fall with gravity to the bottom lessening the debris that goes into the filter material. This requires a drain added to the bucket for routine cleaning.
