bendite Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I am filling my spa for the first time. I live in a rural area and have a well. My well has a lot of sediment. My dealer gave me a fill filter that had open cleats and attached to the end of a garden hose. This product failed miserably. It allowed a lot of sediment thru. I then got a Clear choice filter which is a sealed Pre filter that also fits on the end of a garden hose. There were no instructions so I didn't clear the filter (run water thru on ground before putting in the spa) so I got a bunch of white milky product (be nice) in the Spa. I drained the spa and started re filling with very clear water. Only problem is a much slower fill time. My 250 gallon spa is not even 1/4 full after 5 hours. I did a little research and found Eco one has a Pre filter that allows 2 GPM and filters 8000 gallons per filter. Clear choice is running about 1/4 a gallon per minute and filters 500 gallons. Eco one is $49.99 Clear choice is $29 Has any one tried the Eco One Pre filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendite Just received the MicroPure micron pre filter. It is trickling at .25 GPM. Thats right 1/4 GPM. At this rate my 250 gallon hot tub will be filled in about 16 hours. I suspect it will clog long before that, making this product a waste of money for filtering sediment. The MicroPure rep online suggested this pre filter for sediment. I hope PoolandSpa will refund my money. Bendite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope my experience saves someone else some money. Pre filters that attach to a garden hose just dont work. If you have a lot of sediment there are some serious house filters, but they cost a lot.
