Hi Mitch,
Welcome to the forum.
There is a vortex for sale on the Richdon forum
77cm Dia,94cm High, 4" inlet, 4" outlet 2" waste. Open to sensible offers?
It has been on there for 2 weeks.Just read again London area :oops: :oops:
I will have a five pod vortex system that was used on my 1100gal pond,
surplus when my pond is finished, it was fine on that sort of size pond, but would not recommend it for any larger.

regards
Dave.

Hi all, have thought long and hard about it and i still need a medium sized vortex! It will be used for primary settlement with the option of adding an answer ( if i'm ever flush again :cry: ) at a later date. Dave has sorted me with a smallish one which i will use for K1 so I'm still on the lookout if you here of one.It's about 4 years since my last pond so if any of what i've said does'nt make sense ( with modern methods) please let me know but roughly my filtration will end up like this.........
1st vortex (settlement)
2nd Filter bays or small vortexs ( Mech)
3rd Smallish Vortex running fluidised k1 ( bio) with option of another if needed.
Pond only small approx 1200 galls
Would appriciate your thoughts. Mitch.
