Great product đź‘Ť

I upgraded my pump that came with my 18Ă—48 Intex steel frame pool to this. Received it 2 days earlier than expected. Fed ex is the Jimmy John's of delivery lol love 'em. Sand filters are the only way to go. I am very happy with unit so far. I was able to assemble the unit and switch it out with my old pump in 1/2 a hour. So far it's run great. No issues. I have a hose attached to the drain plug, for ease of use due to the frequent back flushing of the new sand and a pool that has been sitting for 2 years. Couldn't be easier to use. The sight window is a great feature for observing the water color during the back flush. The digital program panel is very easy to use. A back flush is a matter of a couple clicks. I would suggest, as I had read in other reviews for sand filters, is to purchase your sand from a pool supply or hardware store. I was able to get a 50lb bag for $10.

Intex 16” pump worked great to clear up my 4500 gal sized pool.

I have an 18’x9’x48” rectangular above ground intex pool that came with the smaller sand filter pool pump. This was somewhat ok in the first few months but with the size of the pool I’ve got it just did not filter the water enough no matter how much I ran it. This 16” pump pushed out some water. The photos are exactly 7 days apart. My chlorine was high but I needed to add some acid and algaecide. Important in this equation was to brush the sides of the pool after adding the chemicals. This broke it all up and allowed it to be properly filtered. It would have probably cleared up a couple days sooner but I did not have the brush so it was not pulled off the side. I ran the pump 10 hrs a day for that first week and could have run it longer but the brush was definitely necessary. The pump is easy to install if you are trading out one intex pump for the other as the tubing and fittings were all included. I kept one tubing to use as the backwash hose even though it’s short it doesn’t shoot the green water straight out in front of the pump this way. The timer works great but to set it you press the lock button twice while it is running. It will flash the timer amount and you can adjust that way. I tried the instructions method and could not get it to work. And finally, I ran the backwash and rinse often as you can tell from my pictures it was needed.

Great sand filter pump

We had a cartridge filter and it worked great last summer but after fall and winter that caused the pool to become filthy (didn’t cover pool). the cartridge filter was not strong enough to clean the pool. We choose to buy this sand filter pump and I wish we would have bought this sooner! This pump did the job of cleaning our 16x24 pool!

Pool filter

Pump has been working great since day 1, very easy to install!

IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS PUMP READ SO YOU KNOW TO BUY THESE EXTRA THINGS

I have the 15Ă—48 pool. I got the 12 inch pump You will also need to keep your 1.25 inch hoses that's came with your old pump so dont throw them away. If you have two places sucking in water like my 15 foot has you will need to buy..... 1 Type b hose adapter 1 Plunger Valve 1 Double plunger Valve. It doesn't tell you about buying the other stuff and it sure does suck when you get your pump and cant hook it up since you dont have everything . The double plunger valve goes for 33 bucks on Amazon. That's ridiculous. Go to the intex replacement part site and order one off of there for $8.75!!!! But if you only have one place sucking in water you will need 2 Type b hose adapters 2 single plunger valves

This works with my Coleman pool!

I have a Coleman 18x48 pool that has the dual inlets. I just hooked up the hoses from the old cartridge filter pump that came with it directly to the new sand filter. Within 15 minutes it was moving stuff off the floor of the pool!! The setup sucked for me because I already had water in the pool and had to switch pumps with the water filled up. NExt year I’m sure it will be much easier. This is the larger one so you will need 3 bags of the 50# sand to fill it to the max line inside the large tank. I did not need to purchase anything extra to hook this up to my pool. I will update this review once we have had it run longer throughout the summer!

Hands down the best investment you’ll make!

Great pump. We set this up for our 18’ x 42” Bestway/Coleman above ground pool and it works amazing. We’ve had it set up for 3 weeks now and no issues at all. I didn’t need to buy any hose adapters like other reviews stated with the exception to the plunger valve. I only installed 1 but you could install the second if you wanted to, it’s not necessary. It came with all hoses I needed however, I did have to keep my 2 “B” the intake hoses that came with the pool. The filter hose connects perfectly to them. The timer runs great and will turn off after the set amount of filtration and turns back on 24 hours later to repeat the cycle. The electrical cord is very long which is super helpful and this pump is SO QUIET! Best money I’ve spent on this pool!

Installation Was Easy Peasy

Bought the 12-inch filter for a 16 foot round Coleman. No hose adapters, or additional fitting were needed. I simply unscrewed the hoses from the Coleman pump that came with the pool, and fastened them to the new Intex...easy peasy. And I have no leak problems, but I did use a little o'ring sealer as always. Went with Zeosand rather than silica sand for the additional filtering capability, (2 to 5 microns vs 20 to 30 with sand). Be sure to thoroughly backwash Zeosand before filtering with it. The timer unit does have an override to run the pump continuously if/when needed.
