| The Nexus
is now going into its 8th Year on the market and still
proves
as popular as the day it was launched, we are sure that the new
210 and 310 will carry on keeping up the good reputation the Nexus
has earned over the past years. For information on the history of
the Nexus over the last 8 years
be sure to see our Nexus History
Section.
The
Nexus
Eazy 310:
The Nexus 310
still incorporates the industry proven Kaldnes moving bed filter
media, along with the innovative Central Eazy system providing
mechanical filtration. With the adjustments that have been made the
new 310 is now even easier to maintain.

Improvements To
The Nexus
Eazy 310:
The All New Eazy......
The All New Eazy – that is the solids removal chamber, has been
redesigned from the bottom up. It is bigger, allowing for better
flow of water through the static K1. This means that the Nexus
removes more of the suspended solids, and is even better at
producing the clarity demanded by the koi keeper!! The one way valve
that is now attached to the outlet of the Eazy, has made cleaning
easier, taking away the need to have the black pipe bung as in
previous models. The improved water flow also means more efficient
cleaning of the Static K1. The Eazy is now covered by a clear lid,
this ensures that the precise amount of K1 media is always present
with the Eazy chamber, and none can escape.
If the
Nexus
owner had to make any compromise in the past, it was that in times
of heavy feeding, or perhaps if blanket weed was being removed, then
the Eazy could fill up with debris, and water could overflow the
filter, or potentially starve the pump.
Nexus
310 and Nexus 210 owners no longer have such a Compromise!!!! In
pump fed operation, the Nexus
has an Overflow and in gravity fed operation, a Bypass, which mean
that if you need to leave the filter for longer than you normally
would in between cleaning then the water can now bypass or overflow
out of the filter and back into your pond. The filter will continue
to work as normal, but the excess water will bypass/overflow back
into the pond.
How Does the
Nexus
310
Work?
The Nexus Eazy
310 carries on to incorporate the Central Eazy system however,
rather than have this stood on legs inside of the unit the new 310
has a full central Eazy system which runs down to the base of the
Nexus unit, this improvement means
that more and slots have been added to the Eazy chamber where the
water enters allowing a downward flow to be created causing many of
the larger solids to settle out prior to reaching the top half of
the Eazy and the second stage of Mechanical filtration. Once the
water has been mechanically cleaned the water passes out of the Eazy
system and into the Biological chamber surrounding the Eazy before
returning the water to the pond.
Maintenance on the
Nexus
Eazy 310......
Unlike most filters the Nexus
Eazy 310 is easy and enjoyable to clean. Simply switch of the
supplying water pump and turn the air valve which will divert the
air supply from the main Nexus
Eazy 310 air ring to the base of the Nexus
Eazy 310. By doing this you will cause agitation to the K1 media
cleaning vigorously. Whilst this procedure is taking place any
captured particles are flushed out into the Central chamber if the
Nexus Eazy 310, this then allows
you to see how much waste has been filtered out and how efficiently
the filter is working. Once the K1 media has been agitated for a
sufficient period of time, (This will depend on how much waste has
been created and how long it has been between the cleans) the water
in the central chamber will be flushed to waste using the purge
valve provided at the base of the Nexus
Eazy 310. Now the cleaning process is complete, yes as Eazy as
that!! You can now switch the air valve back and return the air
supply to the main air ring and switch the pump back on and the
system is once again up and running. The whole process can take less
than 2 minutes to complete!
