Filters and chemicals work differently. You'll need both. The filter removes particulate from the water, which makes it clear (which makes you happy). The chemicals act by reducing the amount of microorganisms growing in the water. The chemicals work first and the filter sweeps up after them. For a private pool you can use less of the chemicals than are usually used in public pools.
To maintain a small Intex pool you will need a filter, pool vacuum, pool test kit, net, and chemicals. Keep the filter running to clean the water, test the water daily. Adjust chemicals for chlorine, and PH. Use the net to scoop out leaves and debris as needed, vacuum the pool as needed as well.
There is really no need. I have enough chemicals to stain my entire wardrobe.
Filter it, you need something to catch all the organisms your killing. The filter pump will still recirculate.
the filter is in the tank and large enough to never need replacing.
if you want the Harley oil filter wrench its part no. hd-44067 If you're strong enough, you can take it off by hand with a small piece of sandpaper for grip.
The answer to this is that it may not, but it is a bad idea to do it. The purpose of the filter is to provide a living space for beneficial bacteria that breaks down the harmful chemicals in your fish's waste and in uneaten food that rots in the tank. When your filter runs, it pulls water through a spongy material full of the bacteria, and the bacteria actually eats these harmful chemicals that are in the water, protecting your fish. When you turn off your filter, you do two things: 1) You stop cleaning the water, and levels of harmful chemicals in the water will increase. 2) You starve the bacteria, causing it to die off, resulting in the filter being less effective when you run it during the daytime. If you only have a few small fish that don't produce a lot of waste, this might not cause any problems. The amount of bad chemicals in the water may not get high enough to be harmful to your fish. And the filter may not need a lot of bacteria to clean up the small amounts of waste when it is running. You should read up on the Nitrogen Cycle that occurs in aquariums. You can buy test kits to check for harmful chemicals in the water. Then you could try turning your filter off at night and see if the chemicals increase to dangerous levels. You should always buy the liquid test kits, not the little strips of paper, because the liquid kits are much more accurate. But really, I strongly advise you to leave the filter on at all times.
Yes and always make sure the filter is good and that the tank is clean. A filter does more than help in keeping algae out. It removes large and small debris, may have activated carbon to remove toxic chemicals and if designed right will be a place for your bacteria to colonize to remove ammonia and nitrites. it also helps to aerate your aquarium.
It depends on the chemicals you're trying to separate--it could be anything from a magnet (if you've got iron filings mixed with other powders) to water and filter paper, to a distillation unit.
We need test tubes.
There is enough room to crawl under the front . Looking up you will see a little rectangular door/lid. Unscrew the lid and it swings open and there is the filter. There ain't enough room to undo the filter housing so you need a store bought wrench to undo the filter.
A heater if you have tropical fish.. a good filter, lighting, airpump to make bubbles in case your filter doesn't produce enough, water conditioner to remove chemicals, gravel or sand made for fishtanks, and plenty of hiding places for fish (like pieces of PVC pipe). These are pretty much basics for all tanks.
It better have. Otherwise you need a new pump. And that is possible!
