    Curious how cleaning/changing the filter is going. We've got an inflatable one and are looking to take the filter to a stock tank, but the inlet and outlet valves have stoppers to keep the water in while doing pump maintenance. I really like the setup here though, and am curious how you keep the water in while working on the pump and filter. Thanks for sharing!

    So we have some pine trees close by and it’s pretty windy at times where we live. I change the filter about every 2 weeks just because it gets clogged a bit and you can tell when the valve doesn’t push water out as hard as it should.

    My solution to clean the filter. Lift the Intex filter pump up just above the level of the inflow water line (the outflow line will be below the inflow line, so no problem there). I set the little Intex pump on a table next to the pool. My table has a slight edge on it, so it catches the edge of the pump, and the pump stays right there solid while I open it, clean the filter with the water hose, and put the filter back in, tighten up, place the filter pump back on the patio. Done. You might want someone to hold the filter pump on your table so it doesn't fall off while you clean the filter. Another workaround to make that Intex pump limp along a little longer. My Intex 300 gph has lasted four seasons, but I think some impellers are broken so now I have to tap the pump on the patio to shake the broken impellers to the bottom of the impeller casing so they are out of the way of the existing impellers. I haven't been able to buy an Intex pump this season - China's production stopped for quite a long time.

It has been hard to find since it was used a lot during 2020 for medical reasons. We also purchased a small Ryobi pool vacuum to keep it clean. It has worked well for us. Good luck with the Airstream rental, that sounds super fun!
