Thank you I watch this video every year when I service my filter ❤

Excellent instruction video thanks for taking the time to put it on YouTube. 😊

Great demonstration, thanks.  Loved the "they're not cheap" comment on the filters.

Brilliant video and so clear to understand . Very important to make sure the groove for the rubber seal lid is clean and dry when refitting the lid . We were not quite so keen and could not get our lid back on . We think there was water under the seal and it would not let the lid sit down properly . Watched this video again ( last time was 2 years ago when we built the pond ) went back to pond , wiped the seal and greased it made sure groove was dry and Hey presto it went back together fine

Just what I was looking for!
Thank you for a great video 👍🏼

Thanks for the detailed explanation! Very helpful.

excellent video...It really helps me understand my filter better...thank you

After watching this, I thought I'd change my foams in 10 minutes, Firstly I couldn't get UV out as the plunger wouldn't go down low enough & got in the way when I tried twisting top off! So then I took whole lot out, got the old foams off & new ones kept springing out again. Then struggled to get the whole thing to seat back in position. After an hour, I managed to get it back & set securing strap ok! My legs were strained for a couple of days afterwards & I'm not looking forward to repeating this job!! The old foams look ok & should come up good as new when I clean them up. This filter is last in line of 3 other filters & I use this just to get rid of fine stuff.

Great video, so easy to follow and understand.

Great video. Very helpful. Thanks a lot

I like these because these keep the water cool when buried .

Hi

This was very helpful. Do you have a video for cleaning the pond vac?

Love your channel and your practical easy to follow advice. Thank you.

I have several filters on my small pond (1500 gallons) that I inherited and I am slowly upgrading/modifying. The Oase 8000 was left in sad state and hadn't been cleaned or maintained for several years. I followed your advice, changed the UV tube, and would now like to attack the foams filter media.

2 queries:
1) The foams are extremely expensive for what they are. You mentioned knock off foams. I am at least curious to see where they may be available (I am in the US) and how much they might be.
2) Wondering, since I have significant easy to clean mechanical filtration elsewhere, if I could simply put a few nylon zippered filter bags filled with K1 in in place of the foams, and then only gently use the handle to clean on a regular basis. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Seth

Great video, and very clear, yes I always struggle to get the lid back on and the locking strap thing, but get there eventually. What I am having problems with today, is getting the UV unit to click back in the top, have been trying for nearly two hours, but it wont click back into place, Any ideas what could be wrong?

Hi Ed, I have two OASE live water pumps for my Koi pond. Since I moved in the house with this lovely Koi pond, the pumps have been working fine. Till last week I found the water level has dropped dramatically in last couple of days and then found out one of pumps are leaking water out of the blue handle areas. Any idea how to fix this leaking? Is that because of the rubber band installed in the blue / silver handles?? Many thanks in advance!
