Very similar filters and Vortex in one unit can be found at World of Water in the UK. They coming in 3-4 different sizes and cost starting from £99 for the smallest one going up to £399 (about $600). alternatively you can get the whole system (Aquamax pump, BioSys Filter and and Bitron UV) for £399 (for 4000 gallons pond) The UV can fit perfectly on the filter.
Unfortunately they seems to be very new system so in the catalogues and website you will find the old models. One thing for su World of Water near Watford (UK) have those type of filter-vortex things as I just purchase one myself.

If you need any info please let me know.
BTW, NICE JOB, NICE POND,

I haven't seen one, which is why I asked where you got it. From my limited
knowledge, it seems like the Brits are more "into" their koi than the
Americans. All the newest, latest and greatest developments in filtration
(i.e., the Nexus and that nifty little one-piece unit you have, just to
mention a few) seem to be developed on your side of the Pond. What's it
called?

Oh Horse Feathers . . . I should have checked your e-mail address first.
I'd
probably pay that much in freight to get it over to this side of the Big
Pond! But it looks like a very nice unit.

It was £695 from Manor Koi of Essex in UK....I think they have them made
specially, unfortunately they don't have a website.
It's got 6 bays 1 containing brushes, 2 with bits of plastic & 3 with
matting plus the vortex.

Me too! What kind of filter/vortex system is that? And - if I may be so
bold, what is the cost? It looks like a very nice self-contained system.

The pond is now almost finished it only has 4 koi & 4 goldfish,which
were all freebies, but now after a year we seem to be getting some
steady ph,nitrate & ammonia readings (all good) so now may well be
the
time to buy a few.

For anyone who wants to see details and prices about that filter/vortex combi can visit http://www.koivision.co.uk/acatalog/Koi_Shop.html
Unfortunately (for some) this is also a UK based company, but dont worry guys very soon it will be on the other markets.
As someone was saying here is good to see that there're still some things that come up first on a European market the then a USA market. Some of us got used of drooling over products that were realesed already on USA market but we had to wait here for at least 3 months to get them.

Yeh, yeh, yeh - and the Nexus/Answer is here (now), too - and I can't afford
IT, either (something to do with freight charges!!!!). (long sigh) . . . I
guess I'll have to dream.

A Brit gave a talk at the PNKCA convention 2002 in Spokane and remarked
that American tended to discuss the merits of their filter systems and
incorporate those merits we might find lacking in ours. Whereas the Brits
would go to the local pub and over their Ale get in shouting matches as to
who had the best filter system. ;o)

Therein I guess is perhaps why the Brits keep building the better
"commercial" filter, because there will always be a market? Even if the
prior one worked just fine. ;o) ~ jan
