Koi Handling and Pond Maintenance Equipment

Waterproof Sock Net 

A must for handling koi, No damage, no stress, your koi are suspended in water whilst being netted - no more lost scales! Our sock nets now have a 'net' section at the end to let out excess water before lifting the Koi.

 We offer two variants, the Eurpoean version with a short insulated metal handle, and the original Japanese offering with medium length wooden handle - guess which one we prefer.....

Pan Nets

Large pan net heads are designed to fit to our extending 'quick fit' rigid aluminium handles which extend from 6' to 12'. The handles can be used for other fittings such as hoover heads, brushes and leaf nets.

Koi Inspection Bowls 

Our bowls are made from tough plastics or polypropylene, these bowls are top quality, very strong and will last for years.

Flexible Koi Tank 

This great new product is another super idea - a large tank or bowl - now in three sizes 90cm x 60cm deep, 120cm x 60cm deep, or 180cm x 60cm deep but collapsible. Complete with a built in elasticated zip mesh cover and carrying case + repair kit if needed. Erected and folded away in minutes for easy storage and dead easy to put up when required for Koi holding or treatment. Made of a sturdy mid blue plasticised canvas with built in and fold away legs. 90cm tank holds up to 75 gallons, 120cm tank holds up to 125 gallons and the 180cm tank holds up to 225 gallons.

Japanese Koi Vats

These beautifully made Koi Vats are those used by the professional Japanese Koi farms. The material from which they are made is not only extremely strong, but very supple. 1.5 metre and 1.8 metre sizes available, The 1.5m Vat holds up to 200 gallons (900 litres) and the 1.8m Vat holds up to 400 gallons (1800 litres). Easy to assemble with PVC legs and multi sectional support top ring, and complete with easy to fit slip on mesh cover. Also supplied with easy to use drain tube. The quality of this range is frankly streets ahead of anything made or available within the Eurpoean market and these Vats will not go brittle over time or crack and leak as many of the cheaply made units tend to do. Can be used time after time and they will remain as supple as ever.

Oase De-chlorinators/Purifier

The super new De-Chlorinator from Oase is a quick and simple method of filtering-out harmful chlorine and other impurities from tap water. Ideal for water changes and top-ups. The De-Chlorinator uses Hi grade activated carbon which removes:

• Chlorine and Chloramine
•  Chemical compounds such as Ammonia
•  Ozone
•  Organics, e.g proteins
•  Hormones
•  Metal Residues
•  Pesticides

The filter can be used horizontally or vertically. Both ends can be used as either inlet or outlet points. This unit will cope with high flow rates of up to 2 gallons per minute. We were involved in the evaluation and testing of this product at the prototype stage and have been very impressed with its performance especially at higher flow rates. A lower flow rate will give better results and prolong the life of the product.

The filter can be used in Winter as the unit is made from a flexible material which will not crack in freezing water conditions. We recommend that the output from the purifier is tested regularly for Chlorine to determine when the unit should be replaced.

The unit contains a high-grade activated carbon which will treat up to: 200,000 Litres 44,000 U.K. Gallons The effective life of the unit will depend on the quantity of contaminants in the raw water supply and volume of water processed.

Please observe the maximum flow rate recommended (1/2 gallons/minute for the 12 inch model, 1 gallon/minute for the 30 inch model) . A lower flow rate will give better results and prolong the life of the product.
