Trigger Sump Mod for Fleece roller

[Jhillreef]

I have a trigger Sump cr44. Anyway to mod this to get a fleece roller? Has one one used the next section over and did like a Clarasea?

There was a thread that showed someone mod that sump, I remember as I have that same sump. He basically took a Dremel and cut the top and the inside sox holder.

I've seen the same. Most will sacrifice the sock holder to fit a roller in the drain chamber

Anyone ever find someone with the CR44 or similar modded for the fleece filter?

I started a thread years ago titled, "what do you think if the Klir filter." There was no CR44 at the time, just the sapphire blue, purple, ect...

What someone did, without modifying the top sock plastic, was he went to home depot, bought a square of plexi glass, just pulled out the removable sock tray and made his own tray with the plexi glass. He traced two 4" Klirs to know how to cut the plexi, and 2 4" units fit in perfectly. But it didn't work on anything smaller than the 39, and only the sapphire and purple at that.

Don't know if the CR has the same top setup, but give the thread a look over and see if it'll work for you. IIRC... It was about halfway through the thread. It's a pretty long thread. He shows pics and all.

Someone could make a lot of money if they made a trigger retrofit properly! I spoke to Trigger directly and they're of the philosophy that they prefer their method, where every ounce of water passes through the felt. But the skimmer picks up the rest.

Hope that helps!

I just finished with the Sapphire 39.

WARNING!!!!!
Don’t look at the pictures If you have a weak stomach for butchered cuts. Trying to find the right tool with the right blade was paramount, very uncomfortable to get the right angle without damage.

There were a few surprise details that caught me by surprise, but otherwise not too bad. I decided to do away with the Down pipe chamber, but I think that’s up to the user. I just didn’t know what else to do with it, what other purpose could it serve.

3 months in, how do ya feel about it? I have a brand new cr44 and tempted to just sell vs doing this.
