This design delivers optimum water quality by using Kaldnes K1 media. The concept of the EazyPod is based on the world renowned Nexus Eazy system - please visit our website for more information - www.evolutionaqua.com.

This is the time that it takes for the total water volume of the pond to pass through the filter system once. On EazyPod ponds, where it is used as the only filtration system, a total pond volume turn over of every 1 to 2 hours is required.

Installation - PLEASE NOTE: EazyPod comes set-up for a Pump Fed Installation. The EazyPod filtration system can be set up in two ways, pump or gravity fed. In fig. 5 you can see a typical set-up of a pump fed system, followed by a gravity fed system in fig. 6.

(subject to the maximum performance of your chosen pump). The gravity return pipe work from the exit point of the EazyPod to the pond needs to be a minimum of 3 inches (90mm), 4” (110m) for flowrates over 7500 litres per hour and should have no restrictions. Great care should be taken to ensure that no air locks are created within the gravity return pipe work.

NOTE: The pipe assembly is comprised of 1 long length and 1 short length joined by a 90 bend. 6. Refit the pipe assembly by pushing the shorter end back into the EazyPod, so that the long length is now the exit.

Air Pump Installation (Pump + Gravity Fed) Now that you have your EazyPod installed, you will need to connect your air pump to the EazyPod for the cleaning cycle. This will agitate the K1 so that the waste that has collected in the media can be removed from the system.
