Uses for a Pool Filter/Pump

A small pool filter/pump could be used to pump standing water from a flooded garden bed, or used in a homemade pond or water feature.

Compost tea and biodynamic preparations both require a lot of aeration and mixing. A water feature that accomplishes this could be driven by such a pump (sans filter).

It could be used to circulate water from an underground reservoir through a greenhouse or other garden bed, for annualized geothermal heating/cooling.

Pump water from a run off tank to your garden, or from a pond. Also could save it in case the basement ever floods.

The pump could be used to pump water out of a pond or river and use it for drainage.

The filter can be removed and used to move water from point A to point B.

The filter can be left in to filter out small particles, maybe use it to filter roof catchment before it goes into a tank.

The pump could be modified to use sand as a renewable filter.

The pump could handle small time water fountain stuff, or pump up into a storage tank 6' off the ground.

Pumps have a harder time drawing up water then pushing up water. 6' only accounts for 2.6 PSI.

A sand filter is just a barrel full of sand with a bit of gravel at the bottom to purify the water of bacterial contaminants.

The other possibility is to have a water collector, for the water from your roof say, held up at a higher level than your sand filter and then the water would not need to be pumped up.

A sand filter is much better than a paper one if you have bacterial contamination.

The radiator would need your pump and work like the DIY air conditioner on you tube. The pump would pump the water from the river through the car radiator and back to the river to keep the radiator cool. Then you would blow a fan through the radiator and the cool radiator would cool the air the fan blew through it.

It could be combined with a reservoir and hydroponics trough for growing vegetables.

This pump is designed for a low "head," meaning its output can't be much farther up than its input.

Taking the filter off would buy you a little more height.
