New Pool Filter?
I'm looking to Replace my Pool filter. Not sure what we have now, or how
big it is. I do know its a DE based filter. Though the pool is an in-ground Fiberglass insert. its 15,000-20,000 gallons. Any Suggestions on a Filter and or type? Seems like I've seen quite a few of the sphere kind. Thanks, Scott- |

those fins and spray them off... Thanks! "Richard J Kinch" wrote in message . .. Scott Townsend writes: Any Suggestions on a Filter and or type?

New Pool Filter?
Hey! That's what I have!!! With the Huge O Ring that you could almost use
as a floating Device. Something like 3' tall and 1.5' around, some pressure thing on top, something like 8 fins in it... It looks old and decrepit. The Stainless is less the perfect and the fins are starting to break on the edges. Thanks, Scott- "Richard J Kinch" wrote in message . ..
