  • Must Have
Size: 1,500 Gallons Per Hour Style: Sand Filter Pump
I don’t usually write reviews but felt this warranted one. If you have an above ground pool you need this. This is our third summer with our pool and our first summer with this filter. It was so hard to maintain the pool in the past with the A/C filters that you remove and rinse. It would take a week(s) to make a green pool clean and clear. This sand filter works so well and not only does the water flow faster it is also a more powerful stream. The filter doesn’t take up much space and is very easy to use. We hadn’t swam in the pool all week and I forgot to add a new chlorine tab so it was starting to turn green. I put in chlorine, algaecide and clarifier and the filter had it clear in less than two days. Very impressed with the quality and price. It didn’t cost much more than it would have cost to replace the old tiny filter that came with the pool. I have faith it will last for many years! ... show more

  • Amazing! *3 year UPDATE*
Size: 1,500 Gallons Per Hour Style: Sand Filter Pump
*UPDATE* 3 years later, and this pump is still going strong!! This pump is fantastic! We were using the pump that came with our 16x10x48 Bestway oval metal frame swimming pool. It was just not doing the job. I was already fighting algae and dirt after my pool only being up for about 2 weeks, and my it was constantly cloudy. I searched and searched for a pump and finally came across this one. I purchased the 10” Intex Crystal Clear sand pump because that was all that was available. I figured it would at least do better than the paper filter pump that came with the pool. I’m so glad that the 10” was the only one available, because if the 12” were available I would have spent the extra money for no reason. The 10” is working wonderfully and cleared up my pool within the day that I set it up! I did have to go to the pool store and by two hose adapters (I have included two pictures of these adapters) to attach to the pump in order for it to fit. But that really was not a hassle, and everything fits wonderfully with no leaks. Our pool is 2500 gallons. This sand filter gets it all and keeps the pool circulating very nicely. Way better than the paper filter pump that came with the pool, and it was affordable at that! Along with this pump I also bought the Intex Skimmer and then skimmer socks to catch the floating bugs, pollen, leaves and dirt. Now I do not spend hours each day just trying to get the pool ready to swim, so we actually get to enjoy our pool! It’s so nice not having to vacuum the pool every single day. This will save me time, money on chemicals, batteries, and paper filters. My pool is clear, and clean! ... show more

  • Is not powerful enough for 3,700 gallons of water
Size: 1,500 Gallons Per Hour Style: Sand Filter Pump
Based on many reviews, I purchased the Intex SX1500 sand filter pump to ultimately spend less on chemicals. According to the Seller's description, this pump is for pools up to over 8,000 gallons. I have the Intex EasySet 15' x 48" pool, which holds just over 3,700 gallons of water. The pump that came with my pool was the regular cartridge pump that filtered 1000 gph, not enough power to circulate the pool and kept getting algae overgrowth. The realistic thing to do was get a more powerful pump. THIS PUMP IS NOT IT. I backwash, rinse and clean the hoses, filter and debris daily if needed (backwash daily). There is no user error. I don't know if the Seller is getting returned items from Amazon or pallet items and is selling them on Amazon, but this pump is very inefficient and doesn't have enough power to use a simple pool vacuum and definitely not to control the algae that keeps trying to grow in my pool. I am very disappointed in Intex, the quality has definitely gone down since I first became an Intex EasySet pool owner 15 years ago. Just to make note that I have all the right chemicals and supplies, use them appropriately when needed. My pool is in full sun for about 8 hours in the summer, then part to full shade as the sun goes down. P.S. Don't buy this at the end of season or continue to use what you had when or if you buy this pump. Seller's return is 30 days and all Intex will do is replace the pump just in case it's a faulty pump within the 2 year warranty. We just opened the box, assembled and connected this pump 3 weeks ago. I am waiting for a replacement, but honestly I don't have confidence in this pump. ... show more

  • Update: Good product, bad user manual
Size: 1,500 Gallons Per Hour Style: Sand Filter Pump
Update a year later (will leave original review below): So after watching some YouTube videos this past spring, I realized that I wasn't using that pump correctly based on a faulty user manual. Have proceeded to use the pump correctly and clean it correctly, and now it's working great this summer. My original review: Sometimess this filter pump works great, but it's had chronic pressure issues since day one. As one reviewer said, it works but barely. In addition, the six way handle is frozen up. I've had to take this pump apart so many times to troubleshoot, and still can't find any air leak or any specific problem. And unfortunately I bought this when they jacked up the prices in the beginning of summer so it was around $400. In my experience this unit is NOT plug-and-play. I'm pretty advanced at home DIY projects and this one has been a huge headache. Low pressure, poor filtering. Don't buy unless you're advanced at DIY projects. I was holding out hope that I'd figure out the one issue that's causing the pressure problems so the pump could finally be "set it and forget it," but unfortunately it seems like it will need my regular attention forever. Very disappointed. ... show more

  • More than worth the money
Size: 1,500 Gallons Per Hour Style: Sand Filter Pump
Installed on an above ground instead of the side mount pump that comes with it. Definitely worth it! Been running for a year no issues. Live the timer and filter. Pool stays clean and clear no issues
