Intex Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools Very Good for the Price

Above Ground Pool Pumps

i bought this to hook up to a 16×48 pool..I uncovered the pool from the winter and it was a dark green..I hooked this pump up and in two days my pool is crystal clear…Could not believe the diffrence in this pump and the garbage filter above ground pool pumps sends with it…I highly recommend this pump you will not be dissatisfied.

This year I opened up my Intex pool pump with algae and leaves – much like pond water. I picked up a pool pump cartridge cleaner and twice it broke down. It just could not keep up with pulling out the dead algae and continually bogged down. Instead of purchasing more filters, I decided on the sand pump. My 16 year old son and I hooked this up in about 20 minutes – and had it running immediately. I had to backwash it often at first as it was pulling out the algae – which had begun to grow again. After running 24 hours, the water was blue and another 24 hours it was clear. You can now see the bottom of the pool pumps.

I have it paired with my salt water chlorinator (which is totally worth the money) and it is so easy to clean out and operate! A few toggles of the top lever – and you have cleaned and rinsed the sand – and one more move of the lever and it is back to pumping. If you are going to want to enjoy summer without doing all that work – get this – and I am so excited that this Intex pool pump is going to last when the little motors in the cartridge ones really can’t make it through more than one season. I would also advise getting the pump seperate from the chlorinator. If paired up and one side goes down – it is much more expensive to replace. I have had my chlorinator for four years and it has not failed me yet. So happy with that purchase as well.

My Stay-Rite 1.5 HP pump, which died, was no longer available. I called Stay-Rite and their replacement was over $500.00. I did a lot of research for pool pumps. Based on reviews for this Pentair pool pump some said it said it was noisy and others said had leaks I was still satisfied that the overall opinion was that it was quiet and the majority of customers were impressed with the actual performance. The pump arrived after 5 days. My wife and I replaced the Stay-Rite in a hour or less. We had to raise the new pump onto blocks and re-run the discharge PVC. The couplers made the replacement very easy. After first priming the filter and pump volute I fired it up. I have to say this IS quiet and it does have superior suction and pressure to my similarly spec Stay-Rite. It’s been 5 days now and I am completely satisfied and I highly recommend this unit.

How does my in-ground Pump operate?

1. Hayward in-ground pumps are self-priming centrifugal pumps. These pumps have a vacuum chamber, commonly known as a pump housing. The pump housing must be filled with water in order to create a vacuum, resulting in the pump drawing the water out of your pool or spa. The pump housing will remain full of water while the pump is on, and will remain full or partially full when the pool pump is shut off.
2. When powered on, the motor will begin to rotate. Two-speed pumps will power on a pre-selected speed or with some controllers, it will cycle at high before changing to the lower speed. The motor spins the pump impeller, located inside the pump volute. While the motor is rotating, the tips of the impeller are hydraulically sealed inside the pump diffuser, which is responsible for self-priming.
3. Self-priming can only occur if the pump has a diffuser–all in ground Hayward pumps have an internal diffuser. It helps to eliminate any air approaching into the pump housing from the suction piping. As all the air is removed from the system, you will notice bubbles returning to the pool through the return fittings. A full prime occurs when the bubbles stop returning to the pool and the pump basket is full of water. The filter pressure will rise as the pump reaches full prime. The actual gallons per minute (GPM) vary with the type of pump, horsepower, pipe size, distance from pool and other restrictions within the plumbing system.
4. Hayward pool pump self-priming pumps are very dependable and simple in design. They require a sufficient supply of water from the pool or spa, and no air in the suction lines. Air could come from a loose strainer cover, a leak in any valve, a pinhole in any suction line or a crack or loose connections in the underground piping.

Do I need to have a strainer basket in my pump pot?

1. Yes. Without the strainer basket, debris will clog the impeller in the pump volute causing the pump to cease moving water. Be sure to clean your strainer basket, as well as the skimmer baskets, so water flow is not obstructed and the pump is not overworked.
   How do I winterize my pump?
2. To winterize a Hayward Pool pump, turn off the electrical circuit breaker that supplies power to the pump. Also, make sure that there is NO water left inside the pump. All Hayward pumps are equipped with drain plugs that will allow excess water to drain once the plugs are removed. Contact your local Hayward dealer for proper winterization procedures.

How many hours per day should I run my pump?
There are many factors to consider; bather load, gallons of water, pump horsepower, type and size of filter just to name a few. A good guideline is 8-10 hours a day. On the cooler days and early and late season, you can cut the run time down to 4-6 hours because there is usually less swimmers and cooler water requires less chemicals. In peak season, when it is the hottest, raising the run time to 10-12 hours per day will help to keep the pool clean and circulating during it’s time of heaviest use.
