Evolution Aqua EAZY POD Installation & Operating Instructions Manual page 2

Thank you for purchasing your new Eazy Pod™ filter. We are sure you will be delighted with
its performance. If you are unsure about anything, please consult your Evolution Aqua
dealer or contact us.
The Eazy Pod filtration unit has been designed on the principles of high performance,
minimum maintenance and a compact foot print. This design delivers optimum water quality
by using Kaldnes K1 media. The concept of the Eazy Pod is based on the world renowned
Nexus Eazy system - please see our website for full details -

Eazy Pod Overview:
The concept is simple and yet innovative. Water enters via the inlet A (fig. 1) and enters the
outer chamber B, which runs around the entire circumference of the Pod. Between B and
the central chamber C, is a stainless steel perforated screen. These perforations are situated
in the lower half of the screen and around its entire face. This means that when the water
passes from the outer to inner chamber (B to C), a downward flow is created. This causes
many of the larger solids to settle in the base of the outer chamber, due to the force of
gravity.
The size of the perforations will not allow large mechanical waste to enter the central
chamber, thus acting as a first stage mechanical filter. The central chamber holds 30 litres of
static K1 media. As the water enters the central chamber, the fine smaller solids become
entrapped in the K1. After passing through the K1 media, the clean water then rises and
overflows into the inner return pipe D of the Pod. From here it returns to the pond via the
return outlet E.
The Eazy Pod filtration system gives water quality and clarity that surpasses all expectations.
The nature and volume of the K1 media means, that when static, apart from being a very
efficient mechanical filter, there is more than enough surface area for beneficial bacteria to
colonise. Therefore on a smaller pond, the Pod is an excellent complete filter.
Please note that in normal running, the K1 has to be static – it is only moved during cleaning
and maintenance. If the K1 is moved in normal operation, whether by air or by hand, all of
the debris it has collected will be returned to the pond! The K1 is cleaned and moved by
connecting an air pump to the airline in the Pod, which in turn goes to an air ring in the base
of chamber C. This has small holes, which cause the K1 to move and therefore clean itself.
During the cleaning cycle, the finer particles escape into chamber B from the K1. This
wastewater can then be dumped via a 1.5 inch/40mm ball valve F.
Please check the table to make sure you run your Pod within the specified limits to achieve
best results
