[@TelfordKoiPond]

Yes!, Yes!, Yes!, Boom!!! Go on my son, Yee Ha!!! You’ve seen the light👏👍😊. So pleased for you, you won’t be disappointed as it is am amazing bit of kit🥇🏆. Can’t wait to see it all in place and connected up👏👏👏. So sweet when you turn it on, it lights up and it does it’s first clean👍😊. I can’t believe how excited I am for you😂🤣. Anyway, I’ll calm down now. You’ve done a cracking job of the whole filter house so this drum will be the crowning glory and should see you right for years👍👍👍. Was just about to sit down and watch your Shinoda Show and Grow when this one popped up so still have that to watch👍 not sure how much excitement I can take in one evening 😊. You’re doing a great job Lee, keep up the good work 👍🈲🐟😊

[@leehadfield6881]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you are the man Phil boy! Your happier than my dad when I got in to the paras!!!!!!!! I must say Phil it’s a great bit off kit. Build quality is second to none! Hopefully get it plumed in tomorrow. Think I need a few mor fittings but can still get the bottom drain plumed in, will have to wait to get the skimmer going through!!!! 😍

Just catching up Lee on your videos I love the idea of your pond being in your filter house cool mate. Look forward to seeing it. As my pond is on a budget there will only be small improvements next year. Love watching your a inspiration to koi keepers stay safe and well 🙏🐟🐟🐟🐟🙏

[@leehadfield6881]

Thank carol🙏 filter house coming on slowly 🙏😂🙏

[@tonyfuller1466]

Well that's a surprise, I could have sworn you would get a beige box. I've had the original premium compact for over 5 years. It sits outside open to all weathers, all I've had to do is change a screen now and again, a 2 minute job. It's a good idea to get a spare set for when one gets a split. Oase pumps are brilliant I had my first one pack up after 25 Years of continuous running, a rubber seal went. If I'd changed the seal when I should have it would still be running now. I've always fitted oase pumps to customer ponds because there's never any comeback and they do the job perfectly. Another good vid Lee, thanks.

[@leehadfield6881]

Thanks Tony! Love the drum already! Definitely going to get a few oase pumps I think but not cheap!!!!!

[@marcuscro8887]

I like the idea of having the pond inside the filter house as well. I really hope you do it I think it'll look the dogs knackers

[@leehadfield6881]

Me too going to look class!!!!!

[@stevenlane2641]

I’ve had to sit down with a coffee, I’m knackered, just watching. Great update sounds like you going to be building or rebuilding this pond up until the day you move to the farm house. Very enjoyable watch, keep them coming. Stay safe and well 👍🏻

[@leehadfield6881]

Haha thanks buddy, I love messing around never stop 🛑

[@thepeoplespond]

Wow Lee mate I thought I had the drum locked lol I need to be friends with Keith too 😉 Tidy bit of kit and a good choice Good luck with piping! You should have it done by tomorrow afternoon 🤣 The 5 year plan is epic and if anyone can achieve it It’s you 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Nice Drum Lee. At the moment they are so far out of my price range you wouldn't believe it. I can always dream lol

[@leehadfield6881]

I know they are so expensive for what they are to be honest but is what it is!!!!!!

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

I think you have made the right decision there. You wont be disappointed with Oase :-) Love the way your brain works, you havent finished something and your mind is already dreaming of something else :-) I am the same, that's what keeps me sane and on track :-) Great update Lee.

[@leehadfield6881]

Thanks lau, I love this drum it’s build quality is amazing!!!!! Always look ahead in it!!!!!

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

@@leehadfield6881 love the fact that the screen comes into parts, so if anything happens, you don't need to change the entire screen. Looking forward to when you have installed it.

[@garygillespie4188]

Brilliant bit of kit lee, you won’t be disappointed! I have 2 Oase drums best ever investment I made, I would recommend you get the Oase EGC controller a lot easier to alter the drum settings and see how many cleans doing throughout the day etc - can’t wait to see it running

[@leehadfield6881]

Great Gary!!!!! It looks amazing I’ll be honest. I’m going to get it up and working tomorrow but I need a few more fittings to pull the skimmer in to the drum also! Can I ask what water pumps you use?

[@garygillespie4188]

Its a brilliant bit of kit lee money well spent! I had the old multi bays till I seen the drum and never looked back, I have mine running 2 years now, never had issue I have bought a spare set of screens for mine, it’s won’t take you long it’s all plug and play then you will be away! They are rock solid bits of kit, and the weight 😭 I am using the Oase eco pumps controlled via controller, plus they are Bluetooth enabled through the easy switch app, I have 4 of these running at moment and no issue plus good warranty and the Oase tech team are brilliant if you need support

[@leehadfield6881]

Thanks Gary, I’ll look in to them pumps now buddy. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I’m luck had a load here so was cheeper for me to use pressure this time but next I’m going waste 🙏

So glad you got the Oase. Looks quality as you know quality. First question you ask a realtor on your next move: What’s the tap water tds? 🤣🤣🤣

Haha, the drum is amazing quality! And yes TDS check your location 😂

[@mikefogo9912]

Fantastic video, can't wait 4 the next 1🐟🐟🐟

[@leehadfield6881]

Thanks Mike 🙏

[@mikeowen2512]

Hi Lee. On those ball valves, find someone with a metal lathe and get them to machine out the pipe from the stub. Simples! Just need to take it dead careful so you don’t take any material from the I/D of the stub. Use a piece of fresh pipe to gauge the amount to machine out!

[@leehadfield6881]

Great idea! I may even get a lathe 🥰

[@richardbrunton2068]

Love a bit of bastardisation reminds me of gold rush👊 used bog standard waste for everything on my pond and been fine for last 13 years 🙏🙏🙏. Good luck with fitting drum fella. Cheers 👍

[@johnadams1366]

Going great Lee you will love the drum mate. Can I ask what make of heat pump you have and size mate?

[@leehadfield6881]

I’m sure I’m going to love it 😍. No problem it’s a crystal heat pump 17.5kw John

[@leehadfield6881]

Bit on the big side but only ticks over heating my pond so I’m pretty sure works out cheaper on electric ⚡️

[@davidrevitt7470]

Whats the power consumption of yours,i have the non inverter version.wanted to compare the 2 cheers

[@johnadams1366]

Should have said Lee I dont use pressure pipe,I use black pipe from toolstation or sometimes Wickes do good offers with no problems at all.

[@leehadfield6881]

Could have told me before John!!!!! 😂😂😂

Hi Lee, I've just purchased the same filter too. Just a question, did you get the 4 inch outlets suppled with it, along with the fitted 6 inch outlets? I know Phil from TKP did. Many thanks, Adrian

[@leehadfield6881]

Hi mate! So I had 2 x 6-4 inch outlets and 3 4inch blanks!!!!!! Hopefully that helps 🙏 Ps amazing quality on my drum you will be happy 😍

[@PaulWheelerPhotography]

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode Lee. I love that you use one of my favourite words… bastardise. I’ve used it all my life and people think I made it up 🤣 I guessed Oase, but that was because I’m a massive Oase fan. Their pumps are amazing. The shortest time I’ve had one fail on me was one that worked faultlessly for over 20 years. BTW, was breaking the window part of your 5 year plan? 🤪

[@leehadfield6881]

Great drum I think! Well it’s great quality. Haha no was not in the plan but a new window will be 😂

[@thekoimastersapprentice3839]

Ps good luck for tomorrow 🤞everything goes to plan first time!

[@leehadfield6881]

You know it won’t!!!! I’ll have to cut a few corners I think then order a few more fitting to complete! Be a lot easier if the fish where out and it was a new build 🧐

Oh Nice everyone hates on Oase and buys all the other so called professional big drums I got the premium compact pump fed and I never looked back all plug and play and easy to maintain not cheap but don’t know why everyone hates on Oase I think they are great :) nice to see another person going for Oase :)

How do you get along with the drum being pump fed? Thanks

They are incredible bits off kit though! The build quality is great!!!!!! Hopefully it will do me proud 😍

[@sroRAGE]

@@thepeoplespond well I got a small pond 1200 gallons and it works great water is crystal clear and parameters are perfect I first saw them at a aquatics shop and wanted one, before I tried easypods and Oase sponge filters but the drums are beast cleans it self and I don’t need to do anything if I was starting the hobby again and know what I know now I would got for drum filter straight away, don’t try to save on money buying the other filter because you will always want to do more and in the end you spend equal or more so you may as well have bought a drum to begin with

Ok so if the fish are out in the QT pond I might as well extend the pond a bit! What you think? 🧐

[@thekoimastersapprentice3839]

Ooooo it would be tempting wouldn’t it! And it would allow you to have more fish, which is never a bad thing! Plus you’ll have the filtration to handle the extra volume. The only down side is how much cost and effort for the extra gallonage?
