This thing is a beast! It works great and keeps the pool water crystal clear. The pump runs strong, the sand filter does an amazing job, and setup was easier than expected. I noticed a huge improvement in water circulation and cleanliness almost immediately. It’s reliable, efficient, and definitely worth the money for above ground pools. Very happy with this purchase!

This is a great pump for a great price. I am so happy with this pump. It's one of the best purchases I have ever made from Amazon. This thing is an extremely powerful little awesome pump and filter. No more cleaning paper filters for me. Thank you Intex for making a great product. Now only question is how long will it last. It does come with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty so that's wonderful! If you are wondering if it is a worthy buy, YES,JUST BUY IT. It will definitely save you time and money as it is already saving me money because I have not had to add as many chemicals as I did with the poor little pump that came with my pool as well as not needing to clean my filters daily just to keep my water somewhat decent and moving. I bought this pump to go with my 18' x 48" coleman vista steel above ground pool. It works wonders for my pool and my wallet. So far I have noticed, the pump creates a vortex tornado motion which makes all of the leaves and debris circle to the middle of the pool where I just scoop it up.This pump definitely keeps the water moving which is great for many reasons. One that algae doesnt really get a chance to sit if you are treating your water as needed. Two, distributes and keeps chemicals moving and less likely to settle to the bottom. Three will save money on many extra unnecessary chemicals because it will help keep water balanced and no need to keep cleaning and replacing filter cartridges. I ordered this pump ,which was supposed to take 3 weeks to arrive, it arrived in less than a week of my purchase date. Nice, I know, I am happy with that. Set up was very easy. Much of the parts are already put together. Be cautious as the seal rings are in tact and you dont want to lose them. All you need to do is connect the filter debris basket, pump and sand bucket to the base. Connect the hoses to the pump as directed. I did NOT need to purchase any extra parts or fittings because I connected the hoses to the hoses that came with my pool. You'll also need to connect the adapters to your pool. Make sure that you grease all of your rivets with vaseline or petroleum jelly as recommended by intex. You will need to buy 20 grade silica sand ( it does not come with sand) . Approximately 2.5 ,50 lb bags filled my sand pump to the recommended level, which I picked up for $11 usd at my local pool supply store. And the best part is you dont need to change filters frequently because this sand will filter your pool for 2-5 years. I wouldn't recommend that you use any sand except what is called for. I almost purchased the clorox brand pool filter sand but was steered to follow suit with what intex recommended plus many reviews on the clorox pool filter sand changed my mind. When adding sand make sure that you use the piece to cover the pump hole as you DONT WANT to get sand in your pump. It will help to distribute sand evenly around your sand bucket. First setting up is it is recommended that you rinse and backwash your sand filter pump to get best performance out of your sand filter pump. I've added a skimmer with a filter sock to my pool which also increases my pools ability to stay clean and save me from extra work. The pump comes with 6 settings. RECIRCULATE closes off filter basket and sends same unfiltered water back into pool which I use when adding chemicals to circulate and distribute chemicals evenly around the pool without settling to the bottom I use it for 30 mins to about an hour. This setting is also great for long trips away from home. Then FILTRATION which I use after circulating chemicals around pool to start filtering algae, debris etc. This setting cleans your water. WASTE- exactly what is. It sends out dirty water that you dont want back in your pool or filter. RINSE,almost exact same as waste ,rinses your sand.BACKWASH, also pretty much the same as waste. Sends junk and dirty water out of your pool. CLOSED, closes off all water flow to pool and pump. I would recommend this pump . It does its job and soo far I am very pleased. I havent had leaks , as I believe if you follow directions as instructed you will not have any issues. The price is well worth the purchase. Saves money, time, work, chemicals and it works as well as those high priced filter pumps. If this pump lasts only a couple years it still is worth the money it will save you ,and has saved me in only a few weeks. It does what it says it does and that includes all the time I was spending trying to balance and clean my pool l. I am happy , and i hope that this review helps you and gives you the answers you are looking for.

Bought this pump and filter after trying to battle and oolder sand filter for the past two years with limited luck. Finally the multi valve broke and I found myself in the market for a new filter. I found this pump and filter on Amazon for a price cheaper than replacing just the sand filter which was on my pool when the multi port valve failed. Note: the instructions tell you not to use this pump and filter for a permanent pool, so I cannot tell you that I put it on my permanent 18 foot diameter above ground pool. <wink> Installation took a few minutes. Make sure you have the proper diameter hose fittings, you can find Intex adapters here on Amazon if you have 1.25" fittings. You will also need to purchase the appropriate pool filter sand from a local source. Within a couple hours of installation, the pool was crystal clear for the first time since I bought the house in the fall of 2016. The timer is a very nice feature, but note it is on a fixed 24 hour cycle for "Programming". You cannot actually set the start and stop times on clock time. So if you first turn it on at 8:04 in the morning and set it for eight hours, it will turn off at 4:04 in the afternoon and restart the following day at 8:04. The motor is quiet and @ 3/4 horsepower, it does a good job circulating the water in my pool. Long-term? I've read some individuals having failures after year, but this unit has a two-year warranty. All in all, a good product that does the job well.

I bought this sand filter pump for an 18 x 52 above ground best way swimming pool. This sand filter pump makes my pool look better and it makes my floating skimmer basket 10 times more effective as well It was simple to put together. It’s almost 4 times the size of what came with my pool and I could not be more impressed! The lightweight media cotton ball type things are wonderful for someone like me who cannot lift heavy sand. I set everything up. I let the pump run for about an hour, and when I came back out to the pool, there was nothing floating on top of the water. With the original pump filter that came with my thousand dollar pool was beyond inadequate The power of THIS pump blew my little mind! Highly recommend this for your swimming pool provided of course this meets with your specifications Happy swimming everyone

This product helped take my pool from preswamp to crystal clear in a matter of days. My autistic son set it up with no problems. Be advised it cost about $80 to fill it with sand. We did have to keep an eye on it the first couple of days because pressure did build. But after the bulk of the algae was gone we haven't had a problem with pressure since. MAKE SURE YOU RINSE WELL AFTER BACKWASHING we learned that the hard way when all the green nastiness plus sand washed right back into the pool... But that was user error. So why did I not give 5 stars? Just because I think I needed something with a little more power. I have an 18' x 5' round pool and I live in a place with lots of dust and I have one of those plastic stairs setups inside the pool. This pump is great but my pool environment probably needs something a little stronger so that the stairs aren't a dead zone. This pump is MILES above the tiny one that came with the pool. It makes our lives so much easier and my son isn't out there struggling to rinse a tiny filter everyday. Pair it with a skimmer and maintenance is just plain easy.

Originally hooked to a 15' diameter Intex pool, kept water crystal clear with included flex hoses. Upgraded two years later to a 24' x 52" semi-inground pool and plumbed with 2" PVC and it has performed flawlessly with aforementioned Zeo-sand running a mere 6 hours a day. It made pump even quieter than it already was sitting just below back deck and definitely increased GPH flow. Naturally, if we have a pool party I will override timer and run as long as guests are swimming. Neither Silica sand nor "filter balls" were acceptable filtering media IMO.

Great improvement from the 1500 GPM pump I originally received with my Intex 9'x18' pool. Note: you will need between 1,678 and 1,814 grams (3.7 to 4.0 lbs) of filter balls to load your Intex SX3000 sand filter. I used 4 lbs. They do not reach between the low and high fill levels but expand they a little during filling. Seems to work fine. Do not backwash, you must instead treat filter balls like a traditional pool cartridge filter. Watch the Gauge: Keep an eye on your Intex SX3000 pressure gauge. When your water return flow drops or the pressure rises by 5–7 PSI, it is time to clean them. Remove and Rinse: Turn off the pump, open the top tank clamp, and pull the balls out. The Garden Hose Method: Spread them out on a clean tarp or lawn and spray them thoroughly with a high-pressure garden hose nozzle until the water runs clear.
