Thanks guys, the guy was selling it because he used it in a pond and now the pond is not being used any longer. I actually found 2 filters. I bought a 20" jandy with 6 way valve for $40 and there is another pantera II which a is a starite product, its a 24" 300lb filter that I can have for $50. The only reason that I did not pick it up was it was full of sand. I may go back and get it yet. I'm just not sure where I can dump the sand on the ladies property, and there is no way I can lift it like it is. She ended up filling her pool with dirt as she thought it was too much trouble.
