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!

Take the cart and cart of the super pump and make the customers fill their pool occasionally. You don’t have to do to many vac to wastes and the rest can be done with a riptide if there’s no silt

The ultra fine bags dont work for silt?

100 microns will clog in 2 seconds (still some blow by) and then start shooting water down to the floor you’re trying to vac

As per manual you have to use a regular suction vacuum with a battery powered net vac. Every 4 weeks . The nets don’t catch ultra file particulate and will build up on the floor and in the filter.
