Nice job. I'm looking at a pond that was a pool and is too much for my builtin sand filter system. Definitely going to give this a try

good luck keep us updated

[@jpetruzzelli13]

Use a barbed 1 1/2 pvc fitting on the front of the pump for easier prime with no duck tape

[@mikesproject4704]

[@nikoortizluis]

I like what u did buy when the folter fills up with water, can ypur cart support it ?

[@mikesproject4704]

yes cart is rated at 400KG or 800lb. the filter holds about 14 liters or 4 gallons

Thank you for uploading this video. I started to build one . Got a pump and a used cartridge filter. Only problem I'm having is the exit pipe. Went to local pool store and they couldn't figure how you make it bend when you cleaning and straight up when finished. Any advice on the fittings. Thanks

I’m building something like this out of spare parts. What I can’t figure out, can you backwash it? How?

[@mikesproject4704]

great idea. i had not thought of that.. just looked at mine . turn the valve to waste and remove the filter and hook up to the waste outlet. . a lot of work. it isnt hard to clean the filter but would work

[@gregthorne4292]

@@mikesproject4704 oh, it’s a cartridge filter, right? I had it in my mind that it was a sand filter. Guess it’s easy enough to take the cartridge out and hose it off.

[@mikesproject4704]

@@gregthorne4292 yes cartridge filter. works well for cleaning the pool. after winter green have to clean 4 times little bit of a pain

[@angusmcpherson]

[@mikesproject4704]
