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

Yes it is connected to the pump, it is connected where the water goes back into the pool.

Here is a side view. I have the jug connected to the frame with zip ties...

Interesting discussion. I may need to incorporate some of this into my sheep tank the dogs use as a swimming pool.

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 into the 'green water' fight also.

I replaced the other filter with this... works so much better. For Greek try magic eraser in the debris basket... also check out Pinterest it has awesome diy ideas that work.

I am not sure where to find a pump like that?!

I couldn't find one online. I did found one at a pond supply store. It can move up to a 1/4" of something solid .
This one can be in or out of the body of water.. I wish I had taken a picture of it while I was there. I believe it cost under $200.
I should be picking one up in a few weeks.

When my Intex-type pool filter gets clogged I hose it off instead of putting in a new one. They last a long time.

Do you think it would work above or at water level of your pool/pond?
