ERIC

Airlift Pump

- Sounds like a good idea

Problems
- its a DIY system!

Considering incorporating a small ERIC system into the 1st chamber of my new Pond System and the Airlift to the 4th chamber. Traditional filter media in chambers 2 and 3.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The ERIC box shipped is cheaper than most fibreglassed multi-chambers of a similar proposed filtering capability, and is smaller.

Simple to hook up.

Hi Pepper

Airlift pump is definitely interesting as it can cut down lots of electric consumption for the volume of output water. The only problem is, it has not head which mean you can't use it for waterfall or bakki shower.

I personally test it with my own DIY unit and it is workable. The only thing is, you need 3 - 4 inch output for bigger outflow if your pond is more that 10mton. Also, the return pipe from your filter to your pond must be just above your intended water level or same level will do.

Cheers,
Kelvin

Hi,

The Original ERICs too much for my budget especially since I have already negotiated a price with my pond contractor.

Will still consider trying to incorporating an Airlift pump into my traditional system.

Howdy, Stranger!
