This is part 8 of my Koi Pond build. In this video I show you step by step on how I build a DIY Sieve Filter or Pre-Filter. This is my first time attempting to plastic weld. It is a longer video, but it did take me a long time to get this filter built. Once the pond is up and running I'll do an update on how this filter actually works.
