T.K.P. Telford Koi Pond - Video 156 - New Chrome Koi Pond Bakki Shower Up and Running

After the excitement of plumbing Scrag68's grow-on pond I thought I'd better get a wiggle on and finish the plumbing for my own Bakki shower.
As it was such a nice day I managed to complete the plumbing, assemble & position the shower and get it running.
Watch the video to see how it all came together and how good it worked on my pond.

It's a thing of beauty phil, you did a great job. I had no doubt whatsoever, that your pipe work would fit too, and it's a lovely sound of water for those warm summer days. Enjoyed it phil, good work .

[@DublinKoiPond]

Great job Phil. The pump was a good idea to get it up and running sooner rather than later.

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you sir👍. I’m pleased with it but already pulling the bits together for plumbing it via the drum😊👍

[@Garykoi625]

Mate I like that❤ that is cracking 🎉 🐟

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you Gary, much appreciated 😊👍

[@andrewsuckling2271]

Hi Phil. Great video as usual. You definitely need to increase the holes (number and size) in the spray bar. If you want this to work as a bakki shower you will need approx 10,000 litres per hour to get the gasing off affect. If you run it with 3/4000 litres it will be a trickle filter.

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you, definitely taken onboard and will get drilling at the weekend 😊👍

[@matthewlawrie9276]

thats ace Phil 👍

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Cheers Matthew, much appreciated 😊👍

[@CBersPond]

Great job Phil 👍 That looks stunning. Hope you're well.

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thanks 👍. Needed a push to get it done with everything else going on around us. It focused my mind for a couple of hours which was a welcome break😊👍

[@willskoi156]

Looks Fantastic mate

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you sir, much appreciated 😊👍

[@quickklik]

great video best thing I ever did was fit my Baki shower water is spot on and I can see the bottom of my pond which is 6 feet deep

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Excellent, I’m hoping mine will give me that little bit more clarity and filtration 🤞🤞🤞

[@triumph12408]

Looks great, I used 8mm holes on mine, What pump are you using?

[@TelfordKoiPond]

I’ve only drilled 6mm holes in at present but consensus seems to be increase to 8mm. Pump is a 12,000lph Oase Aquamax classic C (controllable)😊👍

[@aaron659]

Fine piece of pipe engineering there Phil. Flow rates over bakki are always a hot bed of discussion. I run my 20k vari at 30% 24/7 all summer. I have a blade rtn during summer and a 2inch wall rtn thru winter so maybe dialled back to 25% to stop backwash over lower tier top lip. I can use both rtns if need be my bakki is in the filter house. Any thoughts on noise? Re the neighbours. Your fishes appetite will go up imo thats what i noticed when i set up mine. Ps very shiny 😎 😂

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you, looks like I’ll be getting the drill out at the weekend 😊👍

[@anthonyjackson4034]

Water clarity is great Phil. That ro is doing a great job. How many litres ph is that pump and are shower trays 50 cm in length? Looks plenty at 10 %. Thanks

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Hi Anthony, the tray is 60cm and the pump is 12,000lph😊👍

[@shaunleonard8146]

Great Work Phil, What size pump is it?

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Evening Shaun 🖐. It’s a 12,000 lph Oase Aquamax classic C (basically a vari-pump). It was brand new but unwanted, got it off Facebook marketplace for £100 so bit of a bargain. I was looking for the 18,000lph version but turns out that would have been massively overpowered 😊👍

[@shaunleonard8146]

It's a very capable pump, good flow.
