Yes you can. In fact I wouldn't use their at all. Go with Beckett 7093110 pump. Put it on the bottom of the tank and cover it with gravels. No need to use their hose. The point to get your water move around. Once it set and done, you will never need to change water or filter. Your fish will be happy

Mine did this too. I bought a whole new one instead of filters. It's only a few bucks more and you dont have to mess with the filter even if its a little wasteful.

I only know this filter works for me. You could try it and if it doesn't work, see if you can return it.

We do not use a filter on ours. We use a descaler every other month. Using bottles distilled water helps also. We have never looked into an additional filter.

Hello Mark, I am not sure but in using this product it did not have the heft other filters have. It was a bit flimsy and you may want to use two together for better results. At one time I had bought a case of good pre-filters on ebay but have yet to find that brand again, tho I have not made a a thourough search as yet. Hope this helps.. :)

You can clean the filter yourself and use it over and over again. I can't foresee ever buying another filter for it.

You can use paper filters. #4 size. They fit into a plastic filter holder that snaps into place. You might be able to use a reusable gold filter instead of paper--you'd need to check the manual.

You clean it with a damp sponge. If that doesn't clean it completely, you can wash it with soapy water. You have to make sure it is completely dry before putting it back in. You never need a replacement filter.

I actually returned this one and got the other one. I didnt like it but it is complete. Clean the filter out weekly. Hope this helps.

I looked into this about a year ago. The guide pro is a different model with a different filter. Last I checked,the only places you could get a filter for the Por were Katadyn or Amazon. I would call Katadyn. they will straighten it out for you.

I think that's the membrane I use for mine. Keep in mind that's the membrane, so it doesn't need replaced as often as the filters.

If you plan to use it allot, like daily heavy use or more than just here and there you can get the permanent cloth filter and put the paper ones inside it if you like for added protection. You could extend the use of the paper filter allot longer than usual this way because you have the cloth one too helping protect the motor. If you order from us let us know and will send you a free cloth filter with the unit. Just be sure to tell us via email or phone or we wont know to send it. Thanks

Yes, you must have one of those to be able to use the filters. I love using the filters. If someone had not already beat me to it I was going to invent filter. Lost out again on a winner. Hope this helps you.

I purchased (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LTOCSG), but am still using the filters that came with the unit. The filters are really only a paper circle, I don't believe you'll find a stainless or ceramic to replace it.
