Looking good Dave , love that benigoi

[@edenkoipond]

Thanks. It was a good buy……. And I’ve not killed it yet which is a bonus 😬😬

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

looking great Dave👍 I can also confirm that those switch boxes are absolute pants. had one on the old pond and wiring it was a nightmare, and to think i had to get SWA into it!😫

[@edenkoipond]

Later reply alert 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Looking good Dave👍 my heater was a game changer in terms of preventing the spring issues so I’m sure you will find it the same🤞. Those switch boxes are far too fiddly for me, gave all mine away and fitted 12 x proper plug boxes……proper old school 😊👍. Keep up the good work 👏

[@edenkoipond]

Thanks Phil - sorry for the late reply…. KZbin seems to like hiding them from me 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@thepeoplespond]

Heater is going to be the game changer Nice deal on it too 👍🏼 And you owe your mrs dinner and a gift 😂

[@edenkoipond]

Offering her dinner with me is surely a punishment for her 😬😬😬😬

Nice heater. Nothing better than heat and food and good filtration. Fab. Just one thing, make sure that you seal very well the 'table' the heater will be seating on because you will have the heater condensation dripping. Just something to be aware of. Hope you are well.

[@edenkoipond]

Hi Lau. Hope you are well. I must confess, I wasn’t expecting so much water 😱 I’ve fitted a little drainage run since this video and had to treat the wood with several coats of polyurethane to seal it. Appreciate the great advice ☺️☺️☺️

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

@@edenkoipond all is good this end thank you. 😀

[@KoiEvents]

Good job Dave, just bear in mind the heat pump will drip water from a few locations underneath the unit when it defrosts, this might rot your wood in time or soak through your cabinet.

[@edenkoipond]

The amount of water these things create is crazy!! 😱 Thanks for the good advice/heads up. I’ve fitted I little drain run since this video and treated the timber to lashings of polyurethane. Thanks for watching and looking out for me - means a lot 👍🏼👍🏼

[@KoiEvents]

I did speak to you at the barn I have the same model, it come with I think 6 drainage tubes. I installed two, it's a bit unsightly to have 6 drainage pipes. Of course the water still drips from the holes without a drainage pipe, resulting in a puddle on the patio every few hours. I wonder if it could be slanted even a few degree so that the water will defrost to one end where we could install just one or two pipes 👍

[@sweetkoiyo]

I loved this update. I would have chopped down that bush/tree too. The mess it makes is crazy. It's not worth it for two weeks out of the year. That ASHP is going to be perfect there. It is huge, one of the biggest I've seen yet. I love how you keep your filter house so organized. The Koi look so beautiful and happy in that crystal clear water. Your fur babies are adorable 🥰 Looking forward to seeing the next update. 😊

[@edenkoipond]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. The camera obviously makes my shed look tidier than it is 😂😂

[@mark5tytshort770]

Best thing I ever fitted, run 13 in winter and up to 18 in summer, all about stability, 3 years no problem with fish

[@edenkoipond]

Definitely a game changer. Looking forward to enjoying them in the winter 👍🏼

[@CBersPond]

Great video as always Dave 👍 Why does the ASHP have to be south facing? The fish are going to love it. Hope you're well. Need to catch up again soon.

[@edenkoipond]

Thanks buddy. With regard to it facing south, I’d have thought this was obvious…… it likes to get a tan. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Other than that - I’ve no idea 😂

[@CBersPond]

@@edenkoipond LOL 😂😂😂
