Our pool has a Nature 2 unit installed, which I've been wanting to remove for a while now. After looking at old threads, I'm still uncertain how to do so.
Let me describe the setup:
The white PVC pipe is connected to a grey "vessel" - tube goes in one side at the bottom and comes out the other. The grey vessel has a circular crank, which I opened. Inside the grey vessel is the Nature 2 cartridge. When the cartridge is lifted out, you can see a hole in the bottom of the open grey vessel, with water. When I removed the cartridge, I could hear water draining from somewhere (my DE filter?). Also, the grey vessel thing closes with a gasket.
Can I just take the entire cartridge out, and run my system that way? Can I open the cartridge itself, remove the mineral filter, put the cartridge back in the grey vessel, and run the system? I am NOT that mechnically inclined, and my poor husband is so busy at work that I don't even want to burden him with this project if it involves cutting PVC pipe, etc.
This is important to me because we've had a gradual buildup of light brown staining in certain areas of the pool, and I'm starting to suspect that Nature 2 is the culprit.
Thank you for any help in advance!
