Pentek Bag Filter, 155384, BP-420-1 Polypropylene 1 Micron, 4.5" x 20"

Worked great to remove dead mustard algae / pollen / dust (not sure what I was dealing with) from above ground pool that cartridge filter was missing. Zip tied it onto a return hose and ran the pump for a few hours. Pool is finally back to normal :).

Had problems with pollen/silt in the bottom of my pool this year. Cartridge filter not able to filter out the smaller microns and I assumed it was blowing it all back into the pool. Attached DANMAR Directional Pool Skimmer Jet Return Nozzle and then cut off the end of this filter to attach to it. Had to rig it to hold with couple of zip ties (cut holes to thread zip tie for tight fit) and clamped the open part- It WORKED!!! I was worried it would build up too much pressure on my pump but didn't raise it much. By the time I finished vacuuming I could see that it was blowing the dirt directly back into my pool like i thought. This filter caught what was blowing back into pool. After vacuuming I disconnected the vacuum and let it run for an hour to catch anything I stirred up then removed it and put regular return eyeball back on. Checked an hour later and the pool was clean- nothing settled back to the bottom. Wish I had discovered this at the beginning of the season, but ready for next year! Well worth the money and will buy more! Very pleased!!

works

Great you have this item. I was lucky you had it. Going to use it to filter the sump pump water so my lawn will not be full of 24 weeds.

I have a 18' Intex swimming pool that had a major attack of algae at the end of last season. I was thinking I was going to have to empty it. I then found these mentioned on a YouTube video, and decided to give it a try. Man, these guys are the real deal. The amount of junk it catches that the filter misses is phenomenal. They can be used by simply throwing them in the wash. I am thinking I will continue to use these throughout this season as it works better than the paper filters, and they are reusable. Inexpensive too. Thank you whoever makes these. If you have a dirty swimming pool, get these.
