    I'm still going to buy the 1500 gph pump so I have more pressure for the new vacuum. Can you post a link for those filters you mentioned?

    Here the link to the one's I use for the 2500gph pump, I can't find the exact link for the small ones. I might suggest going to the Unicell website and finding the A/C filter replacement number, then going to amazon and looking for that EXACT part number.

    Here is a link to how to clean the filters using bleach and laundry detergent. This has worked wonderfully for me.

    My wife let me order the deluxe cleaning kit, but she had me hold off on the filter... Big mistake! I'm going through bleach like it's going out of style because the pump can't filter the water properly and there's nowhere near enough suction for the vacuum to even remotely work. Tomorrow I'm going to order the 1500 gph pump from Amazon. the price has dropped to $50. I'll have to cut the holes bigger so I can attach the new hose connectors, but that shouldn't be a problem.
