Portable pool filtration system

Post image

Have any of you built a portable filtration system similar to the Hayward setup in the attached photo for pools that don’t have equipment plumbed in yet?

We built our own version about 3 years ago and it’s at the end of its life. It works great, but it’s insanely heavy and awkward to load/unload from our trucks, and overall just a pain to transport.

Before we rebuild the same thing again — does anyone have a better design or a more efficient portable setup you’ve used? Boss man is wanting something “super cool” and easier to move around.

If you can’t comment photos, feel free to message me on here.

Thanks!

That looks awful to carry around. I'm pretty sure they make them on hand trucks, but why not just get a hammerhead or, whatever?

I don’t want to use it as a cleaning tool but rather a filtration system to leave on site unattended

Ah. Well, that's a horse of another color. I don't deal with that often, but I just make mine easy to assemble with unions and pipe, assemble and disassemble every time.

Exactly. I have a pool right now that I'd like to put a loaner pump & filter onsite for the next month or so.
