whale filter ?

[robf1234]

i have a whale filter on the end of my water supply that goes in the aqua roll the thing is its just to big to fit in ,,can i buy a another filter (smaller) or do i have to buy a new aqua roll with bigger hole ?
think its called aqua smart ?

Do you actually feel you need a filter there at all?
At best located as it is in the suction line they can provide only a "strainer" function, filtering out just large bits of debris that with a decent level of "house-keeping" ought not get there in the first place. They certainly will not stop a whole load of mirco contamination.

Hi ..so just take it of or fit a piece of mesh or similar over the end ?

We have an on board pump. The 40 litre aquaroll feeds the inlet pipe which has whale aqua smart WE 3000 filter. Never had any problems with fit. If I remove the filter the inlet pipe tends to curl up stopping it sucking water from the aquaroll lower level.
What model of filter and aquaroll are you using ?

hi its a we 3000 filter ,,,i have two aqua rolls ..one it fits the other it does not the hole is to small ,,if i make a little mesh thing that i can fit on the end of the pipe it might keep it in the bottom ?

Rob
Are they both 40 litre aquarolls?
So you have an onboard pump?
Yes you can put a mesh or stocking or muslin on the end but you will also need a weight to keep the inlet pipe at the bottom of the aquaroll.
The carbon filter does filter out a lot of nasties so I'd prefer to keep it. However if you source your drinking water externally and use the aquaroll water for washing etc I don't see a problem.
40 litre second hand aquarolls are freely and cheaply available.

yes both the same size but the holes are different sizes ,,,yes it has an on board pump ,,and i never drink water from the taps ,,,
