How does this install in the unit? I don't get it. The normal filters are built in plastic. But this blue thing looks like a piece of scrub brush.

You just slide them in the same way you would a regular filter that has the hard plastic edges. I only use this for the initial cleanings when there is a lot of debris.

It is a scrub brush and slides into the same slot. I used it during cleanup and it worked for large debris without clogging. Worms, if present will stick to it like glue.

This basically is the material of a scrub brush, they slide into the slots just like the cartridge filters. They worked really well when I opened my pool this year. They don't break down and I just squirted them out after each use. They will definately last several years.

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..

It's a complete unit with the filtration elements/media inside. You insert the entire filter cartridge (as you see in the product image) into your filter housing, replacing the existing one. There's nothing in this unit to remove or disassemble. When it's time for a new one, you throw the whole cartridge away. I've used many of these and liked them, but have replaced mine with a nano filter for higher flow rate bit.ly/1m5kjUR (ideally, I'd use both)

Hi, it's your filter, no matter how clean it looks on the outside it gets pretty clogged internally. You can order three packs of filters on Amazon. You could always pull it out until they arrive. Rob

When you open the top, on the side opposite where you put the water, is another well with a thin plastic filter holder. Pull it out and on the bottom is a basket. It opens with a snap and you remove the old filter before inserting the new one. The filter holder is long and thin, like the wooden mixers you get to stir paint in a can, except it has big oval holes in it. It sits upright on the left side and you just pull it up.

You use the green scrubby part of a dish sponge to scrub the outside of the filter. Mine clogged in 24 hours and cleaning didn't help. They sent replacements but

the filters are a single unit which you replaced by twisting it...... it's about as complicated as installing/replacing a Lightbulb

Mine came with the blue filter element. There is an option for the dry filter as well.

Cool thanks! I have decided to order it. Just got it today! Excited to use it. Wondering where to get the filters for the glass attachments. Have to figure that out later. I know they last a while. So that will be figured out later I guess.

It was my understanding that the filters lasted the life of the machine. I clean it once a week with a vacuum cleaner...use the brush attachment.

The blue plastic grill on the bottom covers the intake, and there are slots which somewhat make it a rudimentary 'filter'. It sounds to me you may want to wrap some nylon screen material around it to catch the smaller pieces.

It is a plastic and mess type filter that you use over and over again, i.e. permanent filter. It's very easy to clean also. I hoped that helped!

No. Something may be wrong. Is the plastic it come with off completely? check inside. Make sure the filter is in correctly.

Hi Judith . Does your machine use this type of filter ? If yes, the filter should go into a filter holder in the water supply tank. Follow the instructions about soaking the filter in clean water for a short time and then rinsing it with clean water prior to installing. It's an easy procedure..

The plastic "filter" on the unit pops off, and there is a round fitting on the pump where you can attach a connector to a separate filter unit. That's how I set mine up.

The blue filter is a large scrubbing pad. Just like the green plastic scrubbing pads. It's cut to fit the vacuum cleaner. They work fine for the larger particles in the pool.
