  • DE Filters are the best!
Style: 1.5 HP (W3EC50C93S)
So….4 years ago, we were given an above ground pool that came with a sand filter (which has been a huge headache up until this season). The pool was a 27’ round by 52” height. Before my installer had a chance to finish installing it for us, a bad storm came through and knocked half of it down and damaged the walls to the point where it wasn’t any good anymore. Fortunately, my insurance company covered the pool so we were able to get a new one. Now, back to square one. So my installer comes back out and installs the new pool. We hooked up the original sand filter that came with the used pool only to find that it had a couple leaks and was making an awful noise. Rather than mess with it, i told my installer that we would just order a new one. So out went the sand filter. Not knowing any better, my installer said i can get you a cartridge filter and you’ll be good to go. They’re easy to clean and take care of and you only have to change the filter every season (his recommendation). Now know this, i grew up with an oval above ground pool and my father kept that thing immaculate. He told me when i was having the pool installed to make sure i get a DE filter. Well, unfortunately i didn’t listen and said ok to the cartridge filter. Fast forward, new cartridge filter gets hooked up and we are now rocking and rolling. Not a month into the summer and I’m fighting algae and cloudy water. It wasn’t too bad if i stayed on top of it but if i let it get away from me just a little, it was heck getting the water clean and clear again. Not to mention that any and every time i had to vacuum the pool, it would just blow the dirty water right back in. I finally got to the point where it was just easier for me to let the water run out of the pool while i was vacuuming and then adding new water back to it. More expense right?! Well the following season, i again was fighting a no win battle with this pool. We ended up getting a hole in liner somewhere and i couldn’t find it. I was so aggravated at this point i was ready to tear the whole thing down. I decided to let it go over the winter and worry about it the next spring. Well, last spring came around and i drained what was left in the pool. I tore the old liner out and put a new liner in. Before doing so, i bought enough insulation board to do the entire bottom of the pool and taped up the seams, which worked out great. But once again, i fought for clean water all summer long. My father once again told me, you need to listen to me and get a DE filter. He said, how do you think i was able to keep our pool so clean for all those years. He also told me that our old pool installer was a huge believer in DE filters being the best to keep above ground pools cleaner. So this spring, i finally broke down and bought this DE filter. Best darn thing i ever did. So far this summer my pool has been crystal clear. I’ve vacuumed it twice already and both times i had zero issues with anything blowing back into the pool. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve had the water tested a few times and had to add a few things here and there, but no where near what i was spending and adding when i had the cartridge filter. As a matter of fact, one of the times i went to get my water tested at the pool store, the employee actually asked me what filter system i had and i told him a DE. He said really? I said yes why you ask like that? He said man you just don’t see too many people using DE filters anymore, but they really are good filters. So if you’re hesitating on this DE filter, or any other DE filter for that matter, i would recommend that you order it!! It’s honestly changed my life when it comes to pool maintenance. Sorry for the long review, just wanted to get the entire back story in. ... show more

  • Intex pool owners, get this! Not the Intex sand filter!!
I have had an Intex ultra frame pool (20ft x 52") for about 3 years. I bought the 2650 gpm Intex sand filter and used it successfully until this year. This year I just couldn't get the pool clear, I shocked the green/black pool until it turned white. Ran the sand filter 24-7. Back washed daily. The water just stayed milky white. I could only see about 4" down. I called a pool guy and he said get a DE filter. I read the reviews on this and without knowing if it would even connect up to an Intex pool I ordered it. I hooked it up, bought the DE sand and got it going. I was very concerned at first. After about an hour the flow slowed to a trickle. I bumped it. Half hour later it was a trickle. I talked to the local pool supply guy and he said "it's just that the thing is working better than you expected. Backwash the DE and put fresh in." I noticed I could see about 8" into the pool. I did what the guy said and had to do it a total of 3 times. Now on my 4th batch of de the pool is crystal clear and the pump is running great. This thing is amazing. So why 4 stars? There is no valving for waste water. There is one path only. So I rigged a valve between and can now pump to waste instead of the filter. There is no timer. There is a switch and you have to turn it off and on. It's a little delicate. Buy extra Teflon tape and don't over tighten. I imagine it's a pain if you crack the housing. Other tips. Forget the saltwater chlorinator. I've had them for 3 years also and between them corroding and replacing and trying to time the pump with the chlorinator, I gave up. Buy the 3" tabs and forget that thing. If your Intex pool is newer you know there is a little air gap on the valve on the side of the pool. This won't work with your new more powerful pump. It just starts sucking in air. I fortunately had an older version I could swap out that doesn't have that check valve. I'm not sure of a better solution. I ran the Hayward hose from the pool to the pump and the Intex hose from the filter back to the pool. You'll need to buy a hose clamp. Anyway, buy this without fear. It will work with you pool and its SO much better than a sand filter. ... show more

  • 20 years, 27' aboveground. This thing saves chemicals.
Style: 1.5 HP (W3EC50C93S)
This is a replacement for my 20 year unit that treated us well for 19 of them. Was a no brainier replacement. The filter housing is not as thick as the original, looks to be suitable modern FRP plastic. Same filter fingers and a new back flow valve. 3 Months in and no issues, just like the old one. Trash those sand filters. ... show more
