    Pool pump DIY Filter

    I'll look into that. We just got the pool last summer and it was new so we hadn't any water problems. This year is the 2nd year and we're in a major learning curve.

    Yes we go to Leslie's. IDK if you have them there. They test and say it's not too bad but we do have to change the cheesy filter quite often. All reviews say that the filter that comes with this is really not a high quality filter.

    So I got 20# filter sand and some PVC fittings and some silicone caulk. My above ground pool is 10,000 gallons. Do you think I can move enough water through a sand filter to keep the water clear? Does the container have to be air tight or can I use a tote since the hoses themselves are air tight?

    Pool pump DIY Filter

    So you've just added this filter in line or have you replaced the existing filter within your pump altogether? Ah, NM, I see. I need to go home and take a good look at my set-up. I have an Intel above ground pool that is constantly wearing on me. I am in Texas so sunlight and heat are playing...

    I don't want to highjack the thread but is that filter in line with a pump or how are you using it?

    Pool pump DIY Filter

    You're going to have to figure out a way (and there are many) to keep the pump 'relatively' free of debris. You can sit it up on a big flat rock in the bottom of the tank to keep it from sucking dirt. You absolutely can fashion some kind of cage (filter) to go around it, or sit over it, so that...
