DIY Drum Filter

This is a step by step video guide on how to construct a DIY drum filter.
Here in the Philippines this type of filter is the go-to filter set-up for starter koi keepers.
In this video I share to you how I would do I DIY Drum Filter.
I also do a lot of explaining on how the whole DIY Drum Filter system works.
I also shared a little bit of my past wooden raised ponds so you'll how it started for me.

I've done similar, particularly the second drum with the screw-down lid; however, I've sealed the plumbing as a canister as I don't like paying for electricity :)
Yes, it's a headache to seal, but you get good with epoxy, polyurethane, HDPE-welding & making/maintaining O-rings pretty quickly. No, I don't think I'd recommend if you don't have to....
