Thats gonna make a huge difference to your pond and koi now Dave…. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👍🏼

[@edenkoipond]

Hopefully so! Will keep all updated 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@chasingkoi]

Great stuff Dave, I feel warmer just watching lol, enjoy the sun,ish, cheers Terry,

[@edenkoipond]

Pond is lovely and warm. Meanwhile, the kids and wife are wrapped up in blankets freezing cold indoors 😬😬😬

[@JS-yt6vx]

Wtf Dave? I watch your content to feel better about making my own mistakes with my pond. Watching this made me feel inadequate. 😂 Nice work!

[@edenkoipond]

No! Don’t feel inadequate! Just because I have a heater I’m still a good and normal cock-ups will continue. You know what they say…… all the gear and no idea 👌🏼😬

[@phil4573]

Nice one Dave, looks good mate, well done. 👍

[@Franklykoi]

Air source works a ruddy treat 😎

[@edenkoipond]

They certainly do my friend 👌🏼👌🏼

[@CescaTheDarkHorse]

Nice one Dave 👍 good choice of Air source heat pump 🔥

[@edenkoipond]

I bloody hope so 😂😂

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Good job Dave😎 You may have already noticed but the good thing with the Thermotec heatpumps is that they incorporate a soft start feature so it doesn't pull too much current on initial start up, which is why the fan is always so quiet to begin with. Then they regulate themselves according to demand and the air temperature around them. well done on resisting temptation to raise it straight up to 18c😅 great way to induce white spot!😫 You WON'T regret buying it!👍😎

[@edenkoipond]

It was very tempting to crank it right up 😂 Appreciate you looking out for me! Hope you and the family are having a good weekend buddy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@westbromkoi]

Top job Dave 👌🏼👍🏼

[@edenkoipond]

[@edenkoipond]

[@asterixborden-koi6881]

Well done Dave great job mate 👍

[@edenkoipond]

Cheers 👍🏼 Hope you are well and having a top weekend ☺️👍🏼

[@asterixborden-koi6881]

@@edenkoipond cheers mate would be a great weekend if and when the Sun ☀️ decides to come out and warm up 😂😂

[@Lewis_Standing]

Heating engineers would put primary pro insulation on the external pipework to make sure the heat all goes to the pond and not leak into the atmosphere. It's a short external run but still.

[@edenkoipond]

Just googled the primary pro. At very least I’ll get the pipes lagged/foil wrapped. I need to do all my pipework really as skimmer line is out in the open too. Thanks for the info 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Les-OZZYTHEOSCAR]

Your a clever little sausage Dave, nice job

[@edenkoipond]

Thanks buddy! Happy weekend to you 👍🏼

[@BlackCountryKoi]

Top job Dave buddy , wish i could get one on my pond with these shitty temps at the moment . 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@edenkoipond]

Honestly - weathers done my head in! Do it, you won’t regret it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Wrighty]

Hi Dave, you'll love it mate. What did you get, the 9kw or the 12kw, I must have missed it in the video. Just one thing, I might be wrong, but the gap at the back of the heater from the shed, should be at least 30cm clearance (or it use to have to be) yours just looked a bit close mate. Take care, Terry.

[@edenkoipond]

Hi Terry - I went for the 12kw. Yep - you are dead right, it should be 30cm and in only around 20cm 🤦🏼‍♂️ Spoke to a few other owners who are the same and tough wood they seem to be ok. I’m planning to change my filtration this year and will make sure I address this issue. Hope you are well - looking forward to your next update 👍🏼

[@CBersPond]

Great video Dave 👍 Nice installation of the ASHP. Hope you're well.

[@edenkoipond]

Thanks buddy 👍🏼 Hope your weekend is going well(apart from the weather 😭😭)

[@CBersPond]

@@edenkoipond Only just started raining here, but been in the garden most of the day. Did you set the YEAR correctly on the ASHP? It was 2020 in the video 😀

[@edenkoipond]

@@CBersPond I’m pretty sure you changed it when you came around 😂 Still not set the WiFi up yet either 🤦🏼‍♂️😬

[@CBersPond]

@@edenkoipond Oh yes, I remember now. Still no WiFi 😂

[@THAT-KOI-GUY]

Looking good Dave , is it just a normal 3 pin on it ?

[@edenkoipond]

Thanks buddy. Yep, normal 3 pin and 13amp fuse 👍🏼👍🏼

[@BigRobuk]

great work taking that on very brave. I wonder what the electric costs gonna work out a month.

[@edenkoipond]

Thanks buddy. Im keeping an eye on costs to see what it’s like. Will pop some info up soon 👍🏼👍🏼

[@darrenhoare5869]

Great videa Dave, can we have a running cost on this unit as I'm trying to persuade the wife to allow me to purchase one 😅

[@edenkoipond]

I’ll keep you posted. Really surprised how little the thing is on so far. I’ll do you a fake video claiming only a few pence a month you can show the wife 😂😂

[@martinbuck6680]

Hi dave im getting my ashp plumped in tomoz , this might seem a stupid question but i also have a nexus filter gravity fed When doing a filter clean obviously i turn pump off to clean but do you also turn ashp off at plug when cleaning nexus ?😂 not seen anyone mentioning it o video's ive watched

[@edenkoipond]

Honestly - I don’t turn it off. Touch wood it’s been ok. Seeing this comment did make me google and it would appear that sensible people do switch theirs off 🤦🏼‍♂️ Don’t be a Wally like me 😂😂

[@martinbuck6680]

Hi dave were did you purchase your ashp from? I can only find the new pro version on line

[@edenkoipond]

I got it through koi water barn 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@richardthurston92]

Sorry I missed it how much was this one and would it heat 10'000 gals please great video s

[@edenkoipond]

These go for around £2400. Cheaper brands available. For 10k gallons you’d be looking at much much bigger than my one 👍🏼

[@funkyfisher2012]

Great video again mate be interested also the cost per month this dam english weather 🙄

[@edenkoipond]

I’ll keep you posted 👍🏼 Unless it’s expensive and the wife kills me before hand 😬😬😬

[@sony436]
