New filteration ideas for 600 gallon

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You bet. I'll be plumbing a 1000 next weekend and will post up the details over in setup. That may help as well.


Sounds good....looking forward to it.

As for me I think I'll order ultima media and see how that works out in the Hayward sand pool filter.

The Ultima chamber is made by Hayward except for the mulitiport valve.
If you want to make your own with a sand filter, you need to make sure the grids or slots on the multiport are small enough so the media doesn't escape during backwash. Also, the center pipe to the laterals has a check valve so when in backwash the water will go through jets to tumble the media.
