INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing your Nexus Eazy™ filter. We are sure you will be delighted with its performance. The Nexus System is supplied gravity fed, though is easily adapted to become a pump fed unit. For pump fed installations refer to the relevant pages of this brochure and read thoroughly before installation.
EXPLANATION Basic Operation Nexus: The Nexus filter is simple yet innovative. Water enters the Nexus via inlet (A) Fig 2 into the inner chamber (B) which works as a basic vortex allowing larger solids to settle out. The water then passes through the Eazy (C) where the finer particles are removed and the first step in biological treatment takes place.
INSTALLATION Nexus Setup This section should be thoroughly read before proceeding with any installation. Checks to do BEFORE Installation Check the jubilee clips on the rubber boots are tightened to prevent leaks Check that the collars on the waste valves are tight (This is required as some loosening may have occured in transit) Preparation Important:...
GRAVITY FED INSTALLATION A gravity fed system is where the water level in the Nexus is at the same height as the water level in the pond, therefore the top of the Nexus should approximately be at the same height as the top of the pond as shown in Figure 3. Fig 3 The water on a Gravity fed systems should be fed from a appropriately placed bottom drain through at least a 4 inch (110mm) pipe with as short a length and...

GRAVITY FED INSTALLATION * Useful Tip on Getting your water Level right Getting the water level right in your Nexus is important as if this level is too low it will affect the flow rate from your bottom drain as well as the efficiency of your Eazy both in cleaning and blocking rate.
PUMP FED INSTALLATION It important that on the return line back to the pond there is no section of pipe where the pipe rises then falls as airlocks will form in this section stopping flow an example of this is shown in Figure 4. When installing a pump fed Nexus there is a maximum height difference that the Nexus base can be below...
PUMP FED INSTALLATION the top of the Nexus plastic lip as shown in Fig 8. For the 200 the distance needs to be 110mm and 120mm for the 300. Pump Fed Installation Steps: Insert the Exit pipe into the Nexus Outlet (F) and secure using the 4”-4” Boot (Fig 1.1) as described in previous section page 6.
GETTING STARTED Once your Nexus is installed and plumbed in as described above, you are ready to fill the Nexus and begin treating your pond water. To fill your Nexus first you need to open all your valves before and after the Nexus.
CLEANING Gravity Fed With a gravity setup, the level in the outer chamber (D) will lower as the Eazy becomes dirty and the K1 in the Eazy will rise. By looking into the inner stainless steel column on the Eazy you can see what height the water is passing through the Eazy into the outer chamber.

CLEANING THE EAZY Once you have your Eazy ready to be cleaned as described in the previous section you are ready to clean your Eazy as explained below. Open the top air valve to the Eazy then close the bottom valve to the outer chamber as shown in Fig 13.
KALDNES K1 MEDIA The Kaldnes Moving Bed™ process, has been scientifically tried and tested in fish farming and waste treatment for over 10 years. Developed by Professor Halvard Ødergard at Trondheim University of Science and Technology the Kaldnes Moving Bed™ bio film process has been designed specifically to create the most effective environment for the nitrification process to take place.
