I think I get the intended use of this, but I just want to make sure... Can this be used as a pre filter between my well and well pump?

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

you could, but you would need a lot of it. and i have a suspicion that it would need to be cured pretty often in a pond. so get 2x what you need for one filter. that way you have an extra one to put in while youre recharging the other

This prefilter is just a foam cylinder that has a hole through it. It is not specific to any particular brand of pump. I use them on a PondMaster pump. The important dimension is the diameter of the plastic inlet tube. If it is approximately 1-1/4" diameter, these filters should work. They are about 6" long but can be cut to fit if necessary.

Yes, as long as your pump is at least 1000 GPH. It's designed to be used with the pump and filter combination used by most above ground pools. It has a very small net bag to prevent larger debris from entering the pump or filter.

Definitely, I would put the filter out of the way and run out top or side. Always pull from filter, make a big mess if you push.

Yes, I have used it that way. Won't filter as fast as the gravity made kind in my experience, but works none the less.

Yes. Some even replace the pre-filter with the old post filter and put a new filter in the post filter position - but I do not trust that. I want to protect the expensive membrane and we have horrible water anyways.

You can but it will not filter the water due to the fact that the water being filtered is separated by the filter and the inlet on the back side of the pump. If the pump is completely submerged the water will simply flow over the top of the pump and bypass the filter

I would try contacting a service representative from Fluval to present this question to. Perhaps he/she will have advice to make it work as desired, or perhaps recommend a more suitable filter for your system. I know the pump on this is very strong and would most likely still work (possibly not as efficient tho!) as long as both the input and outputs are fully submerged. But I wouldn't risk it without seeking advice from the manufacturer or a true expert in the field.

I think you can since it is standard size for pre-filter and post filter, but it is designed/packed for 2 stage as they described. For detail, please compare filters info on it's manufacture.

Because of the distance from the well I would suggest a bigger pump for you application. the manufacture I would also recommend, as I have 2 of their pumps, and I am very happy, with their products, and performance. T

If you plan on running an pool vacuum from your filter you may want more power, that's the mistake I made. If you are not going to be doing that, then this pump should work. It's a good filter, but you're on the border line of whether it's to small. If you do get it you'll have to run it all the time compared to a more powerful filter. Sorry I couldn't help more. Hope all goes well

You most likely will need a filtering box to make it work. That is what I am using and it works great!

If you have a water line which is the "waste water" you can use this pump. I like it because it's not an electrical pump. Make sure you get the right model to fit your GPD rating on your water filter.

They also sell a pre-filter sock that installs over the primary filter. I think if I was in a dusty environment I would invest in that. It is not very expensive. Just a thought. Good luck.

I'm not sure how you want to use this system, but if you are using it directly after your well pump, remember it is only a 75 GPD. With that said, if you don't have a pressure tank in your well system, you may want to consider getting one to put somewhere upstream of the RO unit. I agree with the other gentleman who suggested treating the water prior to running it through your system, be it water softener or whole house filtration, something to extend the life of your membrane. Also, may want to get a tester or have your water tested to determine the effectiveness of the system wherever you decide to use it. Without understanding more of your situation, hope this info helps! Good luck!

Easy answer: this filter ships with various connectors to attach the 1" hose (I use the adapter that is 1" barbed to 1/2" threaded-- attached to the pump inlet)... pond pumps vary in their inlet configurations... if your pump will (through an adapter, maybe) take a 1" hose, I'd think it'd work perfectly fine. As James points out, though, this is a "pre-filter," not an actual filter. To appropriately clean your pond, you probably need more thorough mechanical filtration, and you definitely want something that at least has some biological filtration (and a UV sterilizer is also definitely helpful).
