Just wondering, would it be ok to just run the pump on the pool without the filter to just circulate the water?

My pump/filter has that option on there so I assume that it is OK to do so. I'm not sure why you would want to bypass the filter?

Read the *Sticky* right above this post and you will see that Ben says its ok.

need to bypass filter cause it is in bad shape, the valve clamp is broken. I need to make sure that it is ok, to try to circulate the water with bb w/o filter to try to get the levels up. Where is the sticky???

My filter does not have a recirculate setting, and it's broken anyway. Can I just connect the pump to the pool W/O the filter???

I think the point made by the replies and the sticky is that it IS ok to simply recirc the water.
IMHO, it would be better than nothing, but I could be wrong!:)
