canister filter idea

[Jgray152]

dont tear up your current fillters.

I would find three 5-gallon buckets, that is water tight, and then build this filter.

use this as the bucket, connect them togeter with pvc, and then use a pump at the end to pump it through

Thank you for posting this. This will be the pail I will use in my next version of the pail filter.

OP: I don't know what type of flow you would like to get out of this filter, but 4" may clog up pretty quickly.

I have been thinking of buying the large whole house filters as well. The have about 80 times the surface area in side a housing not that much bigger than 6-8" in diameter. This is why the Fx5 was designed the way it was with the sponges around the outside.

Well its late, I'll look into this later Good Luck
