DIY swimming pool water filter

[@Johnnyreengo]

Do not put sump pumps in the water with you!!!!

[@dukemarlar1740]

100% what I was thinking. Glad you posted this.

[@mitchikuchiyadayada]

@@dukemarlar1740 send me a link when you finish making it

[@merkov8715]

You did it backwards. Rocks should be at the bottom of your filter and the white material should be on top.

[@markb8954]

Nagh. The unfiltered water is coming into the top & out the bottom. The largest particles get trapped in big rocks, then the gravel, then sponges and finally the finest particles get trapped in the sponges & floss. Then clean water into the pool.

[@kobajasi1989]

No its not. The principle is same as in big AQUARIUMS. Difference is, that in pools you dont need benifitial bacteria to broke down amonia. In pools you use chemicals. Rock go on top to keep big particals, then sand and after is filter wooll, and you will have cristal clear water. OFC you need to put chemicals too, but its lot better filter then ones with paper carthige, (can't even compare)

This is the smartest video I've seen yet! I'm going to try to use a metal pot instead of the plastic 5 gallon bucket so this way I can put a small fire under it to warm the pool while it's being filtered! Use rocks in the bottom and white filter fiber on top! Think it will work?

[@Johnnyreengo]

You think live electrical equipment in the water with you is smart?

[@rhondaploof1131]

Absolutely NOT WHILE ANYONE IS SWIMMING IN IT! And I tried it and it worked great!

[@mitchikuchiyadayada]

@@Johnnyreengo no electrical equipment while swimming of course

[@mitchikuchiyadayada]

@@rhondaploof1131 do you have a video link?

[@markb8954]

No. It won’t work.

[@phylabra2]

Sponge bob clones :-D

[@M2theWall]

Nice idea!! 👍👍

[@ScoopNemeth]

I wonder if there was a way to make a TRASH CAN pool filter, so the pool water can be cleaner and faster?

[@mitchikuchiyadayada]

Depends on the pool size

[@rhondaploof1131]

Yes, there is a video out there with a trash can

[@TheMono25]

Yeah I think I'm going to have to scale up lol my pool 18ft x 9ft x 4 ft

[@juancarloscalonge1067]

Where did u get those exhaust fan net

[@mitchikuchiyadayada]

100 yen shop. Or you can go to any home centers

[@ceclay1]

Did you put the sump pump in the same pool you’re swimming in? I’m only confused on the placement

[@mitchikuchiyadayada]

Yep

[@kerrywright8950]

Because that's the pool your using the filter in/for, maybe just don't swim with it on/plugged in...

[@mr.monitor.]

Did you watch the video? Could have answered the question yourself 😅

[@rhondaploof1131]

I use the sub pump while no one is in the pool

[@mitchikuchiyadayada]

@@kerrywright8950 it’s unplugged and outside the pool

[@scottification4it]

Seems like that charcoal will pull your chlorine out

[@jeremiahcoronel5389]

What do you call the strap you use on your feet in swimming

[@shaunrabah3706]

do you still use chlorine? or is this a good replacement for chemicals?

[@mitchikuchiyadayada]

I use chlorine tablets to kill the bacteria once a week

[@lucasthijssen9844]

​@@mitchikuchiyadayadawhy would you want to kill bacteria? Shouldn't they be beneficial?

[@mitchikuchiyadayada]

@@lucasthijssen9844 no benefits

[@themclord6443]

I dont understand how charcoal helps in filtration. Does it absorb ammonia, nitrate and nitrite?

[@Swc_Leader]

That's what I'm trying to figure out

[@pawlodabs7722]

carcoal is active carbon filtration removes odor

[@YoMama9021]

Better off using lava rocks

[@paulkazjack]

I turned off the noise.

[@kerrywright8950]

@@paulkazjack what noise?

[@arthurh1969]

Charcoal is new :)

[@philipmarchalquizar7741]

how often do you change and clean the filter?

[@mitchikuchiyadayada]

I made the filter in September. Used it about 10 times until October. Washed it once and stored it. I’ll use it again in June.
