Can I use the floatron with Nature 2 express mineral pool filter?

In is entirety, this item floats in the pool, free or tethered. The nature 2 product is an online filter. The nature 2 product is less expensive to purchase than this, so the only part you might be underrated in is the replacement "cartridge". It is a solid cylinder of metal about 3-4" Ling and 1/2-3/4" in diameter. It is supposed to last 2-3 years, bug as I have only had mine one year, I can't vouch for that. The system does keep the pool clean! Hope this helps.

Yes, but you will have to bypass your sand filter. I used recirculate. There are some fabulous you tube videos explaining how to use this stuff on a pool. It worked great for me!

For a 25,000 gallon pool, I recommend the FNS plus 60.... The 48 would work, why stretch a smaller filter.

Pool must be clean before putting floatron in. You must use chlorine tablets with it. It does not kill algae, it prevents it. It works great for my ,20,000 gal pool. First clean pool, then add flotation. Wil not get algae again. But make sure you use chlorine.

Not sure I bought this for my sister's above ground pool and I don't know what kind of filter system they have.

Yes you can use filter-glass. There is confusion because INTEX warns against using synthetic sand, but that is not glass. INTEX recommends using filter-glass. We use it in our INTEX 1200 GPH SAND FILTER PUMP (with an Intex 54605EG Krystal Clear Saltwater System). Our 14' round INTEX pool (4000 gallons) has been crystal clear all summer. NOTE: We did not have to use the whole bag. There are min & max fill lines in your filter. Don't fill it to the max. Follow the instructions carefully. (You do not just dump it all in at once.) Backwash regularly & enjoy your beautiful pool!

I have the G6 and it came with a standard prefilter and the chemical cartridge filled with Fluval fine charcoal. Make sure that you read up on all of the other types. The nitrate reducing ones are not to be used in Saltwater/Reef aquariums. Also, the chemical cartridge can be opened from one side so that you can empty it and refill it with your favorite media.

I'm sorry, but I don't know. I CAN tell you that I love the Nature 2 Express. My pool care is SO easy. The cartridge lasts the entire summer swim season in Texas, and all I had to do was add a bag of salt to the pool on two separate occasions. Can't get much easier than that!

There are many ways to modify the filter compartments on this unit. I do not know if there is a filter on the market that will replace this one but google some of the biocube DIY filter ideas. The floss filter is really not necessary in a healthy reef system anyway. When I have time the filter and bio balls will be pulled out and replaced with an algae turf scrubber setup and when necessary a small bit of filter floss to help clear cloudy water. Good luck!

This one works with Pentair FNS filters (which is what my pool has). Not sure that the assembly will fit the Nautilus. Check out the Pentair 192327 Complete Grid Assembly Replacement Nautilus NS60 Pool and Spa D.E. Filter byPentair. That part may be more suited for your filter.

I am only using the one in 10 GAL. Filter works purphict. My purchase was for the one only. This is a must have for breeding az I am using for Molly fry.

I use the "Nature 2" Spa cartridge insert that goes inside my filter. This is sold on Amazon too.

If you have a gunite pool, salt water is not an option! Salt destroys the surface. Floatron is the answer for gunite!

I have a Marineland Bio-Wheel filter on my 20 gal tank and I use Algone all the time. Works great.

The Laguna PowerFlo Pro Biospheres Filter Media SINK. The cheaper knockoffs FLOAT. Depending on your application floating bioballs may be fine. We have a 700G tank and require sinking bioballs, therefore we use the Laguna ones Which Indeed DO SINK. and DO NOT FLOAT.

I don't believe the type of filter you have matters. I happen to have a cartridge type filter, however, I've been using the PhosFree chemical for 3 years now, and I have never had a clearer, better feeling and algae free pool. It seems to extend the chlorine life and gives the water a softer feeling. My wife loves it too.
