Never thought of that.(but by making a small change in the intake I can filter from the bottom) but come to think of it,, if the power goes out then no filter. My main question was concering the outher thing in the pool water. It is and has been well clorinated for several years and is nice and clean. Would boiling take care of the problems, or will I have to have a different type of filter to pass the water thru so I can drink it??
