We use 3" metal suction strainers on our larger pumps, they work great for keeping debris from damaging the pump, motor or impeller. Of course our larger pumps are steel while the Flotec is plastic.Our Flotec is connected to a 10,000 gal fresh water tank, so we don't use a filter, but if we had to use the Flotec we would use a metal suction filter. Filters really depend on what you plan to use the water for.

I'd use some sort of mesh filter or take a piece of 11/2'' schedual 40 and cut slits in it. alot of them will be needed as to not starve the pump of suction

Nope. No filter required. Nothing required but water. We love ours! Works well.

I don't own the water filter. I sent it back as the dome filter would not work. I am sure you need both filters.

Hello Jorge, it filters the water on the fly. Simply fill your container from any tap, stream, river or lake, even in third world countries, and enjoy safe, clean drinking water straight away.

You can buy the filters for the big blue system on the website of ispring watersystems. They let you sort by big blue.

This is just a 2 filter sediment filtration. It will take out down to 1 micro depending on what filter you put in it. A reverse osmosis will filter most everything out of the water, but it is more expensive.

Depends which filters are in use...also whether you are adding tap water, or pond water...

Any filtration system should work. You or the plumber just have to connect it with the right fittings. I think we have the Everpure system also.

These take any standard size replacment cartridges, found at most hardware stores. They come in all different types to filter out whatever is in your local water.

I never used the filter and I only imagine it is of use if you are in a hard water area. It worked fine without it.

I don't know. I use distilled water and that eliminates the need for a filter.

Bunn filters. They are deeper and prevent the grounds spilling over because the force of the water coming through.

We use county tap water and/or reverse osmosis water. It has a filter. I assumed it's purpose is to filter impurities. If you are using well water with a high iron content, that may reduce the life of the filter.

No, it doesn't require a filter, just need to use distilled water and let it dry out after use.

No obvious filter, but a spongy plastic material surrounds the motor housing.About 2 inches water depth is OK,

It is a small mesh filter on the O-Ring before the pressure regulator. You have to disconnect the unit from the faucet and you can pop it out and clean it. If you have bad water with a lot of particles in it you will need to do this often because it is small filter but it does keep the junk out of the system.
