Hi, I am new to the forum, I have had a small 500 gallon pond with just 2 ghost carp and 2 goldfish for nearly 10 years. Now I have purchased a 1100 gallon pond on EBay and also got the bits and bobs to go with it i.e. 4 bay filter, air pump, UV & pump and lots of pipe and gate valves. I want to get it set up an running andf then slowly introduce some more ghost koi. But I could do with some help with the plumbing.

Welcome Big Frank. You will find lots of help here. First search the forum, you will find a lot of topics here. Then feel free to ask questions.
I have a multi bay filter with 2 loose pipes, one seems to fit into the outlets at the bottom and has a gate valve on, is this for just releasing the waste, if so how often should i do it. Also I have another pipe and gate valve is that for the inlet to the multi bat filter? Am I correct in, pump to UV to gate valve to inlet on multi bay.
I think you may need to post more info or pictures. My best guess would be the gate valve is for dumping the waste during cleaning.
first is my current pond its been home to my 2 ghost koi and 2 goldfish for 10 years, the big black pond is the new pond that is going to take its place. Its 1200 gallons and will need a bigger filter etc. the other pictures are the mix of bits and bobs i got with the new pond as a job-lot
