Can I put a filter on this pump and would I put it before or after the pump?

Filters go after the pump but you could put a strainer before the pump. A strainer will keep damaging things like rocks from getting into the pump.

Yes. You can't see it in the picture, but their is a basket to filter larger debris in front of the pump.

Yes, it could, but I don't think it is recommended to put a filter on the suction side if your pump.

The flow rate through the pump and filter will be reduced a little. Consider the strain on the motor when the filter is dirty--the tiny bit of additional strain due to smaller diameter hoses will be nothing compared to that.

It can go anywhere on the pressure side of the pump. Either as a flow through, or just dead ended. If you have a filter, put it before the filter.

Filter has to be changed every two weeks. You can buy packs of replacement filters. Never ran it without the filter inside so can't say if it works without it. It might clog the pump.

The pre-filter goes in first. The main filter fits on top (pleated side facing downward).

Yes, you need to remove the filter before adding the descaler to the reservoir.

Do I put the pre-filter on the inside or outside of the regular filter? I don't see it written in the online manual..

I actually had to use epoxy to attach the hose to the pump. And that was a smaller hose than is attached to the filter. I used an adapter to make them fit together.

I don't believe you are supposed to as it will shorten the life of the filter. If you do, be sure to run cold water immediately after so as not to provide a nice environment for bacteria, algae, etc.

I have a sand filter and there is a screen it passes through before the filter. If you are set up similar to mine, Yes you can just utilize the one before the filter. Hope that helps.

A filter is required after the pump if you want to clear the water. If you are sizing a waterfall/weir, etc to drop the water back into the pond, remember to account for the flow loss from the downstream filter. I use a waterfall designed to operate at ~half of the pump's stated flowrate and it is working great.

No, you would want to use an iron filter inline before this unit. Thank you! Mark Bunner Abundant Flow Water Systems AFW Filters 785-735-9769

You have to attach your own air pump and tubing to it. It is just the filter itself.

I do not know. My daughter set up my filter. I can tell you that after one summer, the vacuum system is not working. Contact the pump dealer to ask your questions. That is what my daughter did. I'm not happy with the system right now.

The filter should be below the tank, as it works best as a gravitational suction system - but you could probably have it alongside the tank provided it is below the water level.
