Cloverleaf filters

Can someone give me some advice, I've recently purchased a cloverleaf 2 multibay and a cloverleaf 3500 (3 bay)
Can I pump the water through the cl 3500 then into the cl2 ? That way it would give me 7 bays for cleaning and filtration.

Re: Pressure filters, k1 and pre filter?

Just a update, I decided in the end to go down the DIY route and built 2 filters , 1 holding 50l static k1 and the other fluid k1 holding 100l k1. They are both made out of food grade 240l plastic drums. The static one I have done the inner chamber with holes in . I must admit I'm really proud of my...

Re: Pressure filters, k1 and pre filter?

How often to you reckon I would need to clean the silt out? I think I'm going to have to change my filtration completely but what would you recommend at the most reasonable price. It's 2000 gallon pond no bottom drain , I don't mind having to clean filters regularly ( I'm a pig farmer so I don't min...

Re: Pressure filters, k1 and pre filter?

Is this any good for you to look at ? I have 2 of the 30,000 ones I can't find a diagram of what's inside tho http://www.aquatix-2u.co.uk/acatalog/pisces_hydroforce_plus.html I thought having 2 would be more than enough but it annoys me now that they say these can cope with mainly koi at 20,000 ltrs...

Re: Pressure filters, k1 and pre filter?

I think I might have to go and get one of the 4 bay filter types but do you think I could run the pressure filters before that so it helps a bit and I don't feel I've wasted a complete load of money on them
