First try with pics!
I made a sand filter the other day. Here is how I did it.
I used a five pound bucket and drilled 1/4" holes through it and a few holes in the top.
I put the pump in the bucket and sealed it up. Connected it to the two inch pipe. In the two inch pipe, I added pool filter sand up to the top of the 90's. This spills back to the tub.
I added a four inch extension to the effluent side to help gravity keep the sand in the pipe and it hasn't lost a grain yet (not shown). I plan to add this filter "after the swirl filter but before the beds" in the future.
