I'm upgrading from my 1000gph pump cartridge filter to this one on my 18×10 intex oval pool. Boy am I happy I did. This pump I believe is perfect for an upgrade if you want to leave the pools 1.25" the same. All you have to do is buy the two 1.5 to 1.4 adapters that go on the pump inlet and outlet, sold here on eBay, 50lb bag of pool pump sand and some metal 1.25 hose clamps to make the hoses a bit more secure and presto, I'm using the 1.25 hoses that came with the pool. I got about twice the pressure flow. I do recommend this sand pump and filter. No more buying, cleaning and changing out filter cartridges. I do recommend.
Although it arrived with a broken hose fitting, this pump is a better value than the cartridge style filter most above ground pools come with. The original pump requires that you change the cartridge at least every 2 weeks (really every week). This filter requires a simple back flush once a month and new sand every 3 years. Less hassle and cleaner water make this an easy decision plus after the first year of not having to buy cartridges, ithe savings start adding up. Set up is a breeze. Depending on the size of your current hoses, you will have to buy a few adapters.
This pump is a good upgrade from the old cartridge type. I have a 12' x 30" intex poll using the type b adapters on strainers. It keeps water clear and easy to cycle thru pump cleaning settings.
Bought this filter to replace the Intex cartridge style filter I had just installed that wasn’t keeping our splash pool clean. I was replacing the filter cartridge daily and it wasn’t keeping our pool clean or clear. We ran this sand filter for a few hours after installing it and our water was crystal clear again!!! Night and day difference!
After fixing a clogged pump,for the third time as a result of replacing the filter, I decided to find a better option. Intex makes a better filter option that can be retrofitted to the 12’ foot pool I had. I decided against it as I would still have to replace filters often and I never thought the paper filter cleaned that well. I opted for this sand filter. It was a lot more expensive but no more replacing paper filters every week. I have had this installed for 2 weeks and I only need to run it for an hour a day. The old pump I had to run overnight to actually get the water clean. The water actually looks clean and blue like a real pool. Noticeably better. The pump is oversized for my pool but that hasn’t been a problem. The pool vacuum actually works now as a result of the additional power. This pump should last for many years. As my kids get older I plan to get a larger pool and just reuse this filter system. Kit came with everything but the shut off valves for the intake and the outlet. I purchased those, a 2” hose clamp and the summer escapes to intex adapter for the skimmer and I was in business. The unit is not loud except for the jet of water entering the pool. No joke though, this unit will make your pool water look better than ever. If making this same swap, which seems to be somewhat common, the adapter for the summer escapes skimmer is a must. You can find it for less than 15 bucks. Do not hook this pump to the old pump, as some have done. The pump housing is very restrictive and chokes off the new pump and it will not be as efficient. This Intex pump really needs full flow to work well.
We absolutely love this swimming pool filter !!! It keeps our water krystal clear and we don’t have to buy those cartridges that don’t clean anything and need to be replaced every hour for the filter to work I’m so glad we purchased this product and highly recommend for anyone who wants to keep their pool clean with low maintenance!!!! The first photo is a one or two days after we upgraded to the intex sand filter and the middle picture is how our water looked before with the filter that originally came with our pool 👎🏼 I prefer my pool to look like the first picture and the last picture is one of my daughters having fun in our pool!!!
It was easy to put together. The sand don't come with the pump, but that's ok. I feel as I made a great investment in this pump. It was delivered fast. The pump is powerful and it really moves the pool water. I haven't had to change put my water since I put it in the pool 3 months ago. I love this pump.
Awesome filter. Keeps pool water very clean. 18 by 48 above ground pool and its powerful enough. Very satisfied with this filter. I shouldve purchased long time ago. This filter and pump has made my life easier on keeping my pool.water crystal clear..
I couldn’t get it to fit together perfectly at the base however still giving 5 stars because it filtered my 18ft intex pool perfectly! I had the same one previously and left it out all winter (oopS) so needed a replacement! It got here in 4 days and the estimated wait was 5 days so even came a day early! Don’t forget to buy the sand which is like $25! It’s very easy to use! Great quality for the price!
I got this to replace the small pump that came with my 15 foot round Intex pool. It works wonderfully. The one that came with the pool I had to run pretty much constantly. This one only needs to run 2 hours a day to keep the pool clean!
