Do you remember, when......

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Not exactly, but when I was a kid we had a swimming pool with a big DE filter. It was a massive pain in the butt to clean.

Today we have these, self cleaning now. For pools, some members here use in their equipment

My pool is saltwater, But I would never put a fish in it even with a DE filter...haha

You should build a little reef to the side inside your pool one of the areas. Just got to have a sign that says, "No pee pee in pool." Hahaha

At 18 years old, 1987. I used to help maintain two public swimming pools and you would find and see a lot of things in there, many were not a pretty sight.

I can't imaging...But do remember many times it was easier to jump in the public pool to pee instead of walking way over to the john.

All I know I'm hot rodding mine, glass jar will have activated carbon, as much that will fit, then the discharge of Vortex will go thru a pre-filter cartridge(4.5" x 10"), cartridge will hold DE powder. The instructions say, for continuous use. We'll see how long seal last. If need be viton seal coming. My children of the sea very picky of their water.

actually, this is an interesting idea. Run the output through activated carbon or something like that. I like, I like….

I forgot they gave me a 10 lb bag of recharge powder. Looks old the bag

Pick this up at SoCal Reef Corals in Cypress California. It's brand new never been used and it's all metal on the housing the motor, everything except the glass jar

I had that exact filter on my first freshwater tank :)

It looks very familiar to me. I think my Brother bought several of them when he was in the SW Business in the early 90's.
