    Mostly I agree, but a filter is needed in the slot between chambers two and three. The return pump is in chamber three and it's not that difficult to find sediment getting into these chambers since one of the grates on the back wall is really low to the sand bed. It's more of a layer of protection for the pump than anything else. I clean my filter thoroughly with RO/DI water every week during my water changes.
