K1 Upflow filter Principles (DIY koi pond build)

Following my recent review of the new Evolution Aqua Tempest filter I have noticed a large number of people attempting to build their own versions at home. Whilst some of the ones I've seen look excellent and very capable filters, many have missed a few key things which will prevent them working as well as they could. In this video I talk through three key things that you need to consider if you are building your own 'upflow' filter (or indeed any form of mechanical filter relying on static K1 media) on a budget. I explain how to get the most from the concept and how to avoid making mistakes that will render your filter ineffective.
