Using A Pool Sand Filter system with Bio media (Please help!!!)

Please Help!!!!! I am constructing a new 6000 gallon pond and I was considering going with a pool sand filter system using Bio tubes insted of sand. Also I will use a pond pump for the system not a costly to operate pool pump. I can put everything together to obtain the right Volume or GPM. The Hayward S310T2 pool filter system has the same features as the Ultima II pond filter system at 1/3 of the cost. Can someone please tell me if this will or will not work and why?

Eric, if the pool filter is the same as the pond filters, then it should work. I've not had either but am looking for an old sand filter to convert.

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

Eric, it's good to have another Bama member. If you find yourself with nothing to do at night, come and visit with us in the chat room. There are two other members here that live in Alabama. One of those just moved from Bay Minette to north Alabama and the other is in Athens. They come to the chat room every now and then along with other members all around the country but the South rules.
By the way, glad to have another Tide fan here. ROLL TIDE!

That's what I had on our old 4700 gallon pond. It worked ok, honestly I like my skippy filter better. We never could get that pond water clear.
