The price of the koi mugs has altered, due to the drop in VAT from 17.5% to 15% the mugs are now cheaper.

The price per mug has dropped from £7.99 to £7.82.

Postage rate is now £2.08 per mug.

If you have called before, then welcome back, it is nice to see you again.

New to this site then welcome, if you do not find what you are looking for then let us know, we really want you to be part of this site.

Here is hoping that you enjoy Koi keeping as much as we do.

The smallest filter in Evolution Aqua’s ‘stable’ of koi pond filters is only 23″ high and 23″ high.

An incredible little bit of kit.

When you first meet an Eazy Pod the first thing that strikes you is the size, so small but incredibly powerful.
It looks like a grey dustbin with a bit tacked on the side, initially how can £395.00 be justified?

After all there is no UV fitted and no water pump, what makes it so special.

Lift the lid, some are amazed and others disbelieve that these little white ‘pieces of pasta’ can clean water so well.

The K1 media stands still all of the time in the Eazy Pod, unlike the Nexus.
It combines mechanical and biological efficiency in one media.

It lets the water flow through the media, cleaning it on route.

This lovely little filter will safely handle a pond up to (according to Evolution Aqua the manufacturer) 10,000 litres or 2,200 UK gallons.

The Eazy Pod is more concerned with the amount of food that the koi recieve in a day. Maximum of 100g.

Now for the good bit

Cleaning the Eazy Pod is what takes it from being good into fantastic.

Place the centre cleaning pipe down the centre, allow it to fill and isolate with the slide valve.

Turn that little black lever on the top.

Air from the airpump is released through the media, the media rotates in the water and shakes off its waste.

Personally, I go for a coffee while the media is rotating to clean, I leave it for at least 10 minutes.

When you are ready to get rid of the waste you just open the ball valve on the bottom, front.

The waste is flushed away, possibly onto your garden because it has excellent qualities for growing plants.

Turn off the air, refill, remove the cleaning pipe and your done.

No wet hands, no blanketweed splatters, no buckets of pond water to rinse the media, no hassle.

If you want an easy to maintain, discreet, easy fit filter: this is a no brainer. The Eazy Pod does the job and some.

Lets get together and help sort out any little niggles or problems you may be having with you pond or the koi that live in it.

We all need a hand at some time and when something is really annoying us we lose perspective and don’t see clearly.
Here is a place where we (Cedar Lodge Koi) and you can come together and swap ideas.

If you have any problems then login and post a query, we at Cedar Lodge Koi and the other few thousand people who track through this blog and site each month may be able to come up with a solution.

In fact I will add telephone queries as well, if they are relevant and that should give us all a resource to call upon.

Lets start with a really topical one for the last week Green Water.

If I have a tenner for every phone call I have had about green water and murky water I would be one rich woman.
