Evolution Aqua EazyPod Green - Green

Yes, an air pump is required for the cleaning cycle of the EazyPod, but it is not included with the unit. You will need to purchase one separately.

K1 Micro media is a form of Kaldnes media designed for enhanced biological filtration. Its unique shape and movement within the filter provide a large surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize and thrive, effectively breaking down harmful waste products.

The cleaning frequency depends on the waste load in your pond. It's generally recommended to clean the EazyPod when you notice a significant build-up of waste or a reduction in water flow. For heavily stocked ponds, this might be weekly; for lighter loads, it could be monthly or less frequent.

Yes, the EazyPod is designed to work with pump-fed systems, which typically use submersible pumps placed within the pond.

While specific maximum flow rates can vary based on pond conditions, it's crucial to ensure the flow rate through the EazyPod does not exceed what it's designed for to maintain effective filtration. Over-pumping can reduce contact time for biological filtration and mechanical separation.

The EazyPod can continue to operate in winter, but its biological activity will reduce as water temperatures drop. It's advisable to monitor pond conditions and, if necessary, reduce feeding or consider winterization protocols for your pond.

The EazyPod Plus models typically include an integrated UV clarifier for controlling algae and green water, whereas the standard EazyPod does not have a built-in UV unit.

Ensure the air pump used is powerful enough for the EazyPod. Check the airline for kinks or blockages. Make sure the waste outlet valve is fully open during flushing.

Allow time for the biological filter to re-establish. Ensure the pond pump flow rate is within the EazyPod's recommended limits. Check for other sources of pollution in the pond.

Check the pond pump for blockages. Inspect the inlet and outlet pipework of the EazyPod for any obstructions. Ensure the K1 media is not blocking the outlet.

Ensure the EazyPod is correctly sized for your pond volume and fish load. Allow several weeks for the biological filtration to mature. Check that the EazyPod is not being bypassed by water flow.
