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 thisĀ 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.
