Thank you for purchasing your new EazyPod™filter. We are sure you will be delighted with its
performance. If you are unsure about anything, please consult your Evolution Aqua dealer or contact us.
The EazyPod filtration unit has been designed on the principles of high performance, minimum
maintenance and a compact footprint. This design delivers optimum water quality by using Kaldnes K1
media. The concept of the EazyPod is based on the world renowned Nexus Eazy system - please visit our
website for more information - www.evolutionaqua.com.
EazyPod Overview:
The concept is simple and yet innovative. Water enters via the inlet A(fig.1) and enters the outer
chamber B, which runs around the entire circumference of the EazyPod. Between Band the central
chamber C, is a stainless steel perforated screen. These perforations are situated in the lower half of
the screen and around its entire face. This means that when the water passes from the outer to inner
chamber (Bto C), a downward flow is created. This causes many of the larger solids to settle in the base
of the outer chamber, due to the force of gravity.
The size of the perforations will not allow large mechanical waste to enter the central chamber, thus
acting as a first stage mechanical filter. The central chamber holds 30 litres of static K1 media. As the
water enters the central chamber, the fine smaller solids become entrapped in the K1. After passing
through the K1 media, the clean water then rises and overflows into the inner return pipe Dof the
EazyPod. From here it returns to the pond via the return outlet E.
The EazyPod filtration system gives water quality and clarity that surpasses all expectations. The nature
and volume of the K1 media means, that when static, apart from being a very efficient mechanical filter,
there is more than enough surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonise. Therefore on a smaller pond,
the Pod is an excellent complete filter.
Please note that in normal running, the K1 has to be static – it is only moved during cleaning and
maintenance. If the K1 is moved in normal operation, whether by air or by hand, all of the debris it has
collected will be returned to the pond! The K1 is cleaned and moved by connecting an air pump to the
air line in the Pod, which in turn goes to an air ring in the base of chamber C. This has small holes which
cause the K1 to move and therefore clean itself.
During the cleaning cycle, the finer particles escape into chamber Bfrom the K1. This waste water can
then be dumped via a 1.5 inch / 50mm ball valve F.
Please check the table opposite to make sure you run your EazyPod within the specified limits to
achieve best results.
