Can anyone reccomend a good filter setup to remove leaves, dirt and
debris ? I am not the most handiest at building any type of filter. |

There is none that will remove the dirt from the bottom.
A good skimmer will remove the top leaves. And do nothing to the bottom. A good pump will pick off the bottom and get some of the dirt but little of it. A yearly cleaning dos the trick.

Look at a Savio skimmer, you can set it up to skim normally and when you
want to suck off the bottom close the door and it will suck from the bottom. "Ed" wrote in message ... Can anyone reccomend a good filter setup to remove leaves, dirt and debris ? I am not the most handiest at building any type of filter. |

The model 85 towards the bottom is the one that allows the door to be closed
and suck water from the bottom. That is the model I have. "Nedra" wrote in message ink.net... Thanks Mickey. Not the one I have. I have Model 85 - - got it from AZ Ponds.
