#fishpond #koi #koipondbuild #pondfilter @EvolutionAquaLtd Well... I didn't expect that, maybe we left it too long to give it the first clean. However the water in the pond was always excellent so it shows that the Surge is not letting any debris through back into the pond! I really didn't think this much would come out of it. Very impressed. For a small pond or QT system these will be excellen...

How did you face the white caps in separate directions?
Another level that place its mad mate.
Moore Donald Walker Gary Walker Jeffrey
brilliant video tim keep it coming!
LOVE how blue the water is!!
show me your ea pump again ? it says 039 which means the watts not the percentage
It could do with switch to knock off uv whilebits draining and also a window to see how clean media is. My tempest which I believe holds twice as much media needs 6 or 7 flushes plus I rumble it with an airline for 5 min once a week. Simply dropping it out once will be lucky to remove 20% of the muck but you will never know in the surge unless you keep going until it runs clear.
Top draw 👍🏻
Hey Tim. It was great seeing you yesterday and getting a quick look in the grow houses with you. If you’d like any drone footage from the event for your next post, check with Bebe. I’m looking forward to your Fall buying trip videos later this year. Congrats on having the best YT channel. 😂 (suck it Yvo)
🤣🤣
Great video Tim. Hope you’re enjoying the event. Looking forward to more videos on the event
Is the shop open tomorrow on bank holiday need some pipework and Stuggling to find where open?
No mate I’m sorrry
Greetings from Bloomingdale, NJ. Thank you Tim for sharing your lovely videos and refreshing my mind of my childhood in Hawaii🌺. I am 91 yrs old and a Sansei from Hawaii. My grand ancestors are from Niigata👍. We also are Koi lovers 👍. Thank you for your dedication, love for Koi and sharing your knowledge.👍. Hagd. Aloha and Mahalo. 💕🌺
Hi Everyone lovely weather weekend for outdoor event🎉🎉. Enjoy your day 👍🌺
Thank you so much!
merci pour cette avant spectacle
have fun!
Do you think it would take off here tim long weekend type shows bands etc
I don’t think so mate. This thing is crazy. It’s 7pm now and we have just finished the private tours. It’s bonkers
Northern ireland tim 🤣
Sorry. Didn’t understand what you said?
Smiley!
You’re doing a great job supervising Tim.
It’s what I’m best at!! Was hoping you were judging!!
Right a few things your EA pump is not running at 40% what your looking at is the watts used. to see what the % is you have to press the arrows up or down to see this. Then it goes back to what the wattage is. Second thing ideal lph is 2500 the 3500 talk about is the max it can take. It is not recommended to use the max. As for your pond used you could use 2 surges to see how it does. I have also found the waste outlets can be faulty as mine was leaking and the reason for this can be worms getting into the air valve. I contacted EA about this to their customer service with in one week they sent me another one out with out any communication. I replaced the old unit with this and it seems to have stopped the leak for know. I believe its the same issue people had with the tempests. What I am finding I use the surge as a pre- filter that my box filter still needs cleaning . As such I dont think the surge is effective at removing all the muck. Im in the process of making a video on this . Will release video in about a week.
The pump is at 40%.
@@TimWaddington that means your putting through 4000 ltrs per hour through the surge its only rated for 3500.
@@yorkshirekoi2246do you think pipe work would reduce that 40%?!
@@TimWaddington not for the short distance from pump to surge. EA would not recommend it.
@@yorkshirekoi2246 it’s on 1” pipe. I’m slowly coming to a conclusion you are just trolling now.
Great information,, some nice looking Tancho showa in there , what size are they

Really appreciate you covering the Surge as there really isnt much on YT about them l, which i was surprised at. I have a 3.5k ltr sleeper pond with some koi that i run on a pressure filter with a retro bottom drain (please dont judge, im building a much bigger replacement pond next year with much better filtration). I purchased a surge and variflow together as a deal for 399 in April and fitted it on arrival the same style you went with. The water has been crystal clear from that point on and i have been very impressed thus far. I do wonder however, how good an actual filter the surge really is though, as it is said it can be the main filter on a pond within its spec volume range. Nowhere goes into any detail on how effective it actually would be from a mechanical or biological point of view. My only issues I have had so far with it was one of the ball valves ended up crushing its internal white washer so wouldnt completely isolate water flow which made cleaning it an issue. EA hae sent me a replacement so all good now on this. The clear UV inspection hose tail (you didnt use it) was a complete ball ache to screw in to the ball stop valve, almost impossible in fact. Add to that it is really hard to see if the UV is actually on through it, really not up to what it was designed to do. With the suggested optimum flow rate of 2500, and a max of 3500 its only really able to be used as you have set it up (and as i have) straight from the variflow in the pond on a dedicated line, or possibly as a skimmer line. Everything else would have too much flow for it (after an eazypod or before a shower, etc). Thanks for covering. I appreciate it mate
Thank you for the taking the time to write that. Good info 👍
i have done a video on it.
@yorkshirekoi2246 I watched your video previously and a lot of the time was focused on how you had plumbed it in and then also on rewiring the pack. The bit I think is missing from online is a more indpeth look at it's filtering capabilities, from a mechanical and biological perspective. Lots seem to show that it removes lots of rubbish from the water but not on how the filter is marketed, which is as a pond filter for ponds upto their suggested volume limits. I get it's still new, but that's what's missing so far online for me.
@@nickgraney2119 well I will be putting up a new video in a week or so
@@yorkshirekoi2246 would welcome your thoughts on the points I raise
Can this be used as a main filter instead off a black box filter for a 4500l pond
Yes, I don’t see why not
Think I be saving up and buying one then
@@jordancumberpatch9326 its not 100% effective
@@TimWaddington is the surge just the same as a tempest but just a uv
@@jordancumberpatch9326 similar yes
was gonna get one of these as a prefilter for my 1300gallon pond but i might just go for the easypod pumpfed and have a second diybin filter with filterpads, these are for up for 1000gallon so i dont think itll work good enough for me as ive got, 9 koi, 2tench, 2rudd and 4 goldfish so little overstock untill i get bigger pond. unless i get surge then going in to the bin? not sure if itll be up to it?
No Tim no leaks 😎
Leak?
@TimWaddington haha 🤣🤣🤣 was commenting on another video and had this one queued up to watch pal... clearly I was too slow
I'm really surprised that EA didn't include a safety switch that turns off the UV in the event you remove it while still powered on like you showed in the video. I've seen many filters and UV units that will not light if removed from its normal operating location to prevent serious and potentially permanent damage to someones eyes if they look at the UV bulb while lit. Maybe something for EA to consider on future versions / updates of the Surge filter.
In the future we will just turn it off before changing it. It’s no biggy.
There is a safety switch but like mine the quartz sleeve sticks to the lamp holder and it should stay in the filter so the switch can work
mine I am using on a 20k pond just on the skimmer and its doing a great job just FYI
Wow that’s pretty good! How often you cleaning?
@@TimWaddington every few days along with the normal filter. If it was just on the pond I could see it not cope. But just a skimmer to surge to waterfall 10k vari 40% work a dream
What's the price on them Tim
£299 I think
It was me that asked the height of the UV for servicing. Thanks for measuring 👍🏻
You are welcome!
Silly question but wouldn't the UV kill all the beneficial bacteria in the filter? Or am I missing something obvious? Cheers.
It’s a valid point but the coating on the media stops it. 🤷♂️
@@TimWaddington that makes no sense
Would this be a good option to run off an in-wall skimmer as a second filter? I’m too scared of the beads.
Yeah I think it could be a good idea for you.
Excellent it's great how you are getting those fines and the uv is combined , defo great going into a fluid bed . I would defo use on my grow on/ QT and as you have said skimmer etc , i can see this being of massive value to a lot of hobbyists i will be having a closer look at the GBKS Saturday. Great video as always Tim
Have a great time!
Ive a Very Small pond of 2000L and ive just switched to the Surge and installed the vario 10000 pump which is running at 30% but i will increase that to 40% now . cant wait to empty it in a few days . thanks for the Video on this . been so informative. Geoff
Make sure you let us know how it is !
But are they good for bigger ponds as additional filtration? When they say unto 5k, is that as the only filter?
Up to 1000 gallons they will do a better job than the crappy black box things from Garden centres. Not ideal for big ponds, was never the point.
@@TimWaddington appart from the uv is there a difference in these and the tempest? Are these designed to reduce algae?
@@KYLEG1986 I think in the correct size pond the UV will work like any other UV on a pond.
What you think about air bars over bottom drain air
Air bars?
@@TimWaddington air bar in pond show push water long top of the pond or botthem drain some people says make a mushroom aficed in pond and bad for fish health
@@jpwatergardens2290 I don’t see any reason why they could be bad for a pond. Koi need air and they look better than having multiple air stones in the pond. They have been used for decades and I haven’t seen them harm Koi yet.
Could you install a uv on a tempest?
@@mikef6474 I don’t know mate
Tim you look like you’re about to step up to a dart’s comp in that shirt.
Amazing
Whats the intended use for these , Tim ? Most koi ponds are bigger than 5000l and if you had it as a polisher after your main filter most have them running at a lot more than the recommended 2500 lph ?? Is it meant as a smaller version of the Tempest , perhaps - for smaller ponds or grow-ons ? Be interested to see how it goes on further tests .
Yes you’re correct. The next video explains my thoughts but they beat any crappy garden centre black box. QT, grow on too.
Is there any companies that eill install a filter system for you ?
Yes there are people all over the UK who do pond and filter installs.
Advice please my 12000litre pond i have a nexus 220 pump fed at one end //the other end currently have a pressure filter to shower ,,,could i use this instead of the pressure filter
The Surge can only take 3500L per hour, if that is sufficient for your shower then sure
Beautiful pond and koi!
I allways go Saturday and Sunday 🎏👌👌
How do you decide between this and a tempest if coming after a filter but before a shower?
The tempest can take more flow rate. So for your purpose maybe a tempest.
Great support Tim as always. Very much appreciated. New people showing for the 1st time for us is a great achievement that they feel confident in our show to bring their pride and joy. I wish them all the very best of luck and safe travels to the showground And whatever happens meet some great people and enjoy the weekend See you next week 👌
We definitely be there
Its a great show, will definitely be there.
Tim thanks for doing this video mate, everything youve said about new guys getting involved with showing their fishis a good thing, ive wanted to do it for a while now but just like you said "my fish are'nt good enough" thats what ive always thought And that all fish must have certs and be from top breeders/blood lines to stand any chance of the prizes The hobby does need to change a little bit Thanks mate 👍🏼
The new people need to be embraced mate.
@@TimWaddington they sure do, would be great for the hobby and enthusiasts, especially would be great for the less knowledgable and lower budget folks like me 😁
Went last year will go again this year really enjoyed it 👍
You going on the push bike?
@@TimWaddington bit far 🤣
Are there small carbon pieces going on the bag from back flush ?
No I didn’t notice any. We did another clean today and I didn’t see anything.
