I'm looking for options for an intake filter for this pump. What are you using?

I am using a hose with an inline fuel filter. It's used to pump water on a small air conditioning unit

I used a roll of window screen attached with cable ties. Cut a hole just big enough for the output hose. Then I put the pump, with screen attached, in a large plastic bottle and drilled holes in it.

Karen, I am not using any filter on the input. The water source is relatively free of sand / chunks / etc. However, the water does have a high iron content which does build up a sludge on the impeller and rotor (magnet attracts the iron) that needs to be cleaned about every 3 to 4 months (operates continuously using captured groundwater). The pump / impeller can be removed pretty easily for cleaning. Hope that helps. If necessary, I would imagine it would not be too hard to extend the inlet with some vinyl tubing and put some kind of screen on the tube ... maybe a filter from an aquarium aerator or something like that. The concern would be that the filter plugs up if too fine a mesh. Karen, I am not using any filter on the input.

I drilled a large hole into a brass end cap and put some window screen between the cap and plastic intake.

This link says the 108r takes an Intex type B.http://www.backyardocean.com/Filter-Pump-Compatibility-Chart-s/141.htm

No they do not fit.. we had to go buy adapters for both the intake an the out flow hoses that attach to the filter an the pump.but they didn't cost much an it is well worth it I love this filter !

Best thing is to unplug the filter. Then prime it by removing the cap on the intake tube, pour water until it fills up. Tightly secure the cap then run. If that doesn't work, then while it's running unsnap one of the 4 tabs and lightly lift up, that'll usually purge the air. If no go on those. Remove your hoses and check them for air leaks. I actually used Vaseline on each hose connection and on the main seal around the pump head. That all finally worked for me.

I do not know. My daughter set up my filter. I can tell you that after one summer, the vacuum system is not working. Contact the pump dealer to ask your questions. That is what my daughter did. I'm not happy with the system right now.

I installed a water blocking canister filter http://www.northerntool.com/images/product/2000x2000/170/170308_2000x2000.jpg right under the wheel well where the filler neck is. Works perfect. I've had it now for a few years. I wanted a filter just in case there was any debris in the tank. Plus if it gets condensation in it the filter will pick it up and stop flowing before it lets it pass.

No problem, I use it on a planted 90, with Angels and Discus. There are flow control valves on the inlet and outlet of the pump. Initially I closed off the inlet a little bit, but after a few months I increased the flow, between filter cleanings.

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.

I used 1 1/4" tube with the included pump and it has large flow. The filter doesn't hinder flow much if kept level with water. Extreme elevation will slow the flow. (Over 10 feet) check for blocks. Check the pump by itself

Filters go after the pump but you could put a strainer before the pump. A strainer will keep damaging things like rocks from getting into the pump.

Hagen makes the Fluval line of pump filters. They should have parts search by model I suspect, but if the unit is not that old (less than a couple years) the ring gasket may not be set in the groove correctly before clamped down.

Wish I could help, I have a different system. Have you googled replacement parts for your filter?

As others have said, I use a sediment filter on the inlet hose for my RV. Which filter element you use depends on your use.

Interesting topic of discussion. I wonder how does the siphon technology in this filter differ from Wix or ACDelco or Motorcraft filters, for example? Thanks men!

The S244T Hayward filter is a great match for your pool . When you replace your pump make sure you move up to 1hp Or preferably a 1.5 HP pump for this application

CRYSTAL CLEAR - MFG - get a few extra intake plugs for the water tubes as mine leaked

I am not sure which filter you want to attach. We've attached a PUR filter to end where the water comes out. I don't like them too much because of the back pressure they cause.
