I have a small 1,700 gallon pool that I fill up in summer and drain in the fall. It takes about 3 hours to fill it up, so I sometimes fill it and drain it several times during summer.
I've decided to use Bromine to keep it clear and stop algae. I'm also going to add a Nature2 system to it.
I currently have a 1/2 HP Hayward pump and a large filter system that a friend gave me. New filters are very expensive, so in the last two years, I haven't bought any. I was planning on it, but never seem to get around to it. Why do I need filters?
I have to baskets that catch pine needs, grass clippings, dog hair, crickets and whatever else falls into the pool. What does a filter accomplish?
My main reason to ask is that I haven't used it in two years, and it's so big that if I didn't have it, my view would be a lot nicer. I also don't want to buy filters. It's 3 feet tall and they seem like a huge waste of money. They also restrict the amount of water that my pump pushes. I had them the first year, and the got dirty, so I know they do something, but I didn't use chemicals then, and I am using them now.
What is the worse that could happen if I just took it out?
