We are happy to sell three tier systems, but strongly recommend the use of four tiers, as it is essential that the water has the chance to increase in velocity between the four tiers. More tiers will give better results. We also strongly recommend sticking to the use of Bacteria House in these systems. Other medias will work to a degree in certain aspects, but only Bacteria House will work if these systems are used as the sole filtration.

Bakki Showers are offered at two price points... 'Standard', or 'Premier', with various weir or chute options being available. These systems are of the same design shape, with the main difference between the two, being slightly simplified construction techniques on the cheaper system.

'Bakki Showers' and 'Bacteria House' are patented Worldwide by Momotaro Koi Farm. Our systems are the only ones made under license from Momotaro.

Because of the sheer expense of 'Bacteria House', we are doing our utmost to keep the Shower prices to a bare minimum, so that the overall package represents excellent value for money.

Please note. The system pictured on the left is a 'version 2' (discontinued March 2004 due to improvements made in areas of splashing and water distribution).

Bakki Shower prices start as follows:-

'Premier' 4 tier system with bottom exit £695
'Bacteria House' filter media (10kg box) £140

'Premier' package with 50kgs of Bacteria House media (saving £100 on system) £1295

Weir option on above, add £125

'Polycarb' insualtion mounting brackets £35 set.

All of our Bakki Showers are made in 316 food grade stainless steel. We have tried making cheaper plastic alternatives, but it has proved impossible to get a system that had the advantages of the Stainless steel models. The biggest problem we experienced with plastic, was that it was only viable to have a drilled bottom, which was prone to regular blocking and trapping of debris. So we have decided to stick solely to the stainless Bakki Showers.
All of our Bakki Showers have an open square mesh bottom. These units are stamped out by computerised machinery, in such a way that the sides of the systems are integrated with the mesh, making them much stronger than they would be with a welded mesh. They are also fuse welded so that no metal is added to the welds. It is the computer cutting of the steel that results in the edges so be so accurately cut, that fuse welding is possible. This ensures that the welds won't rust like conventional stainless welds. Also, the nuts that are used to attach the support brackets, are pressed, not welded. We have paid great attention to detail with these systems, and spared no expense!

The pond on the right features two systems with the 'weir' option. These two systems are fed with water pumped directly from the bottom drains, with no settlement, or additional filtration.
