I did this then went to a pvc pipe that’s packed full of pillow stuffing muzzle loader style (from the removable capped end) the threaded cap has 1/4” holes in it like a sprinkler and before putting the stuffing in I put a wiggle ball in it with a small rope attached to pull the stuffing out to replace it. The other end has a fitting for a hose and I use that while filling the pool. Works the same just cuts a day or two out of the process

It do work but the smell tho 🤢

You know what the pain is you guys put music on here that wants me to go to sleep you should get better at making videos

You should add a supply list in your video description because you're not explaining the stuff that you're using and the stuff that's already came with the pool

awe cute

Why not just use sardines as bait super cheap and flys will attack it almost instantly.

That was AMAZING!!! Thank u-4 sharing. I would like to know is there away I can have this indoors without that bad smell. My main thing is that I just want to catch the flys that come indoors. Not so much the outdoors. I know they have to live SOMEWHERE, I just don't want them to live with me. Nore do I want the bad small.🤔

I am absolutely shocked at the color of that! I thought you were exaggerating, but nope. Wow.

Loves this idea. I'm making this today. Large capacity and reusable

We don’t need our landfills getting filled up with plastic bags over this. You dig a hole with a shovel and you dump that bucket a dead flies in that hole and then you cover it up that’s how you dispose of that bucket tip of the dig a hole don’t throw it in the trash because you’ll have maggots in your trash.

They also have a very large consignment auction the Saturday of Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekends. These sales include furniture, quilts, horse related items, horse drawn machinery, etc.

super cool video thank you i too have rustier well water.

All that in only 18 hours 😮😮😮😮

So many flies in there they're creating their own wind vortex 😂

Keep the bucket under water to prevent PH and Alkalinity from rising.

Do you run the bucket all season? If you do do you have any other filter in your pump

Did you also have chemicals in the pool or just the bucket filter?

That fly bait is 20 bucks for a 1# jar.

Is the bait toxic? Could you feed the dead/ captured flies to chickens?

Did the canned bait work as well

You don't need that bait. You can easily make fly attractant that doesn't have an odor. Having this many flies and maggots might vary your results.

Great information and thank you so much for sharing the details!! 😊👍❤️hope you all are doing well!

That has got to have a horrid smell.

The big tubs of pork rinds or cheese puffs are perfect to repurpose. And you get to eat the pork rinds and cheese puffs as a by product. (So to speak;) Oh, and I use dog poop and an egg as bait. It's organic, renewable, non GMO, and gluten free.

I just bought the reusable container from same brand but it’s too small after seeing all that many flies getting attracted to it, I have never used them before cause I never had a fly issue as this year it’s been horrible, I don’t have any farm animals but flies are getting inside my house every time we open the doors. Thank you for posting this video I’m going to try it. Just one question, does it have to be protected from rain ?

What a waste of time and electricity. Get a real filter and it will be clear in 2 days tops. An Earth filter not sand junk

Do you use any chemicals

Instead of using the pump adapt your garden hose to the bucket when you fill and water softeners help alot with this even the cheap ones

I’m confused how this works after it’s full

This is seriously a life saver to do before actually buying the pool!! Would it be ok to do it while the pool is filling? & also would the bucket filter need to be consistently on? :) Thank you so much!

Thanks guy, im new to well water so its been a change of pace for me, wasnt sure how i was gonna get my pool cleaned until i came across your video...thanks guys it helped alot

How often did you clean the stuffing? Just hooked ours up and want to make sure I’m cleaning it in the right amount of time.

I have two questions. My pool is already full and extremely murky looking well this work and also I feel like it's a no-brainer but do you happen to have how to your pole hose to your bucket? What did you use to make sure it wasn't leaking

Woooow thanks for wasting my time allll that and didn’t show how to hook up

I would also upgrade to a good sand filter with a 1 and a 1/2 horse pump.

Save yourself the trouble and buy the Hayward Bobby filter that connects to the end of your hose fitting. It’s a 5 micron filter that works wonders. Great for filling pool and topping off. I live in Michigan and have well water with iron like yours. I use one every year and have never been disappointed. Get the 20” and thank me later

Once the pool is clean and clear , do you keep the bucket running or hook it back to the sand filter ?

Beautiful Baby 🧡🧡

One more thing. I went to Walmart for the stuffing and it was cheaper to buy pillows (on sale, $4) than bags of it. My in-ground pool holds 20,000 gallons and I used two pillows. 48 hours from not being able to see the drain in the deep end to crystal clear. Amazing!

Great idea and it works. It occurred to me that it would be a better idea to rig the bucket with a hose thread fitting and filter the incoming well water before it gets in the pool. Otherwise you still have sediment that settles on the pool floor. You either have to vacuum that out or keep sweeping it and stir it into the water and keep the filter going and repeat until it’s clear. Makes more sense to stop it at the source.

Aren't u afraid of draining your well we r in the country n also on a well system but call in a water truck bc were worried we'd drain, dry up the well?!

We have been doing this method for a week, changing the batting every 24 hours and it's not working. Our pool is still brown and nasty. We're using chlorine and baking soda for the pool. Didn't work for us. We now have to drain it and fill it with fresh water

I will be trying this

how did you use the starbar fly bait?

Last year I tried it using their bags, it quickly filled up with flies and maggots. meaing they are breeding in the bags. So I added some dish soap to the water which killed everything. I love your idea.

Do u keep the bucket attatched 24/7 or u remove n just use the filter it came with every day once its clear?? And any chemicals u use im gettin a best way 12ft and have well water never had a pool before and scared it will dry my WELL out filling it

This is an amazing idea! I never thought about using the top of those on a bucket. That’s what I’m doing asap! Thank you so much!!!

Hey i have had heating bulbs shatter i dont know why but its happened....so im switched to dog house heaters they work great go on the wall has a thermostat....also u can use a heating pad which is way better because the heat stays in the straw or hay making a super comfortable bed and better in extreme cold

What about adding a filter to your inlet hose?
