  • Best pump, especially for price paid. Best pump, especially for price paid.
Style: Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater System Size: Max pool size 15,000 Gal
This is our third year (installed summer 2018) having an intex 15’x4’ above ground pool. We used chlorine and the pump that came with the pool the first year. Changing the filters and using chlorine was not blowing my skirt up. The filters had to be replaced every two weeks minimum, and the chemicals were somewhat challenging to keep balanced. We decided last year to upgrade to a salt water system. I didn’t look at a sand filter due to cost. We bought an upgrade summer 2019 salt water pump, which used the same disposable filters. The pump was adequate, but we still had to skim the water with a net to get out the layer of bugs and bio matter from the trees for about 10-15 minutes before swimming each and every day. To be fair, there are three trees that contribute to the mess. We got the pool ready this year (2020), but the pump would not operate. We knew we had to buy a new one. I do quite a bit of research on most products I purchase, especially a bigger purchase such as this pump. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of saltwater pumps on the market whether its Amazon, Academy, or our local pool suppliers (Nashville). I saw that this pump had adequate reviews but not stellar. I also know that items like this usually receive a few poor reviews because there are too many user variables for product performance consistency. I can say for us, this pump performance exceeds our expectations. My husband installed it April 27, 2020, and said it was somewhat difficult. I can attest to the amount of time it took-approx 1 1/2-2 hours. We had multiple sized connectors due to previously purchasing a second pump, so that was not an issue for us. The power of this pump is noticeably stronger than the previous two pumps we had. See photos. Kind of like a hot tub if you’re up close. This has not been an issue even for our 10m old in her float. The best aspects of this pump are that the water stays much cleaner, no need to skim before each and every swim, no disposable filters, backwashing the sand is a breeze. You can actually see the funk flush out of the sand! Stop backwash when water runs clear. Bam, you’re done. Always less than a minute. I attribute the improved performance because of the type and strength of filtration system. The water stays clear. We do have to shock and use clarifier, but the frequency is much less and will be necessary with any system. I never have to worry about cleaning the surface before putting my baby in the water. HUGE, time saver. That’s pretty impressive considering the trees around the pool. We do run the pump 12hrs/day most days, especially when we swim. I hope this helps anyone considering either switching to a saltwater system or upgrading to sand. This is the way to go. It’s more costly initially, and the sand is an additional cost, but we feel this will save us money in the long run. I believe the sand lasts 5-7 years. ... show more

  • Worth the money and you make it back in time not having to check and add chlorine.
Style: Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater System Size: Max pool size 15,000 Gal
This is my third unit in 10 years. They work great and I have never had one fail in the same manner, so it isn’t an inherent flaw in design. The first one had circuit board corrosion and would pump but not make chlorine anymore. I bought a second unit and that one was a little small once I upgraded my pool, so I gave it to a neighbor and he still uses it. I got a larger one from another neighbor and used it for 3 years and then it needed the plates replaced that generate the reaction for chlorine production. I could have simply replaced the plates, but for a small amount more I could upgrade and have the newest model. That’s what I did and this unit works fantastic! Looks great and keeps my pool nice and crystal clear. The footprint is not that big so you are not giving up a lot of area and the fittings when properly installed do not leak. I use lubrication on all O rings and rubber seals that I got from a pool supply store. Couldn’t be happier! ... show more

  • LEAKING and FLOODING MY YARD—HOUSING LEAKS !
Style: Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater System Size: Max pool size 15,000 Gal
Hello just a piece of friendly ADVICE, before you purchase and read all the rave reviews on Amazon maybe think hard about purchasing the pump directly from Intex because after you add the sand this will not be an easy return. My Brand new Intex Salt Water System, has been leaking from the bottom of the housing and flooding my yard since day one. So on top of the pump not working properly the yard stays muddy and nasty all around the pool. NO FUN!! My husband set the pump off before he went offshore and came home to re-configure and put the pump back together another time, checking each seal, tighten the parts, making sure nothing my cracked or missing, etc. and the pump continues to leak. I have a small 30 x 12 pool, so purchased this thinking it was the Holy Grail of the pump world and would not have to worry about my pool but instead I have a muddy flooded yard and a pump that isn’t impressing me anymore than the one the pool came with. Invested in this pump to see how well it worked before purchasing a bigger pool and it has been nothing but a headache and disappointment. Maybe I just received and defective one so with that being said purchase from the company who makes this product and can give you support along the way. Best advice I can give you because I wish I had. ... show more

  • Do NOT Buy!
Style: Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater System Size: Max pool size 8,500 Gal
First off, I only rate this product at 1 star because I can't give a zero rating! This product IS easy to set up and install, that's true. However, the pump would only run about 45 seconds before throwing an E90 error code for low pump flow! Intex was little to no help with the problem, they just wanted me to start replacing parts that would take 5 to 10 business days for them to send me. WTF! I told Intex I wanted to return it for a refund and Intex said that would be done through Amazon. I did as instructed for the refund process. Then when I finally get my refund from Intex they only refunded half of the purchase price stating that the second half would be kept by them as a restocking fee!! No one ever said anything about a restocking fee! Amazon has been great and very helpful trying to get me my full refund. So basically Intex is making almost $200 for sending me a piece of crap that didn't even work! DO NOT buy anything made by INTEX! THEY ARE CROOKS! Their product is crap and t h en they keep half your money! Nothing like getting ripped off! Screw Intex! ... show more

  • Good pump, easy to understand and install, low maintenance for pool, poor customer support Good pump, easy to understand and install, low maintenance for pool, poor customer support
Style: Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater System Size: Max pool size 15,000 Gal
Upgraded to this pump for the 48" tall 15' diameter intex pool knowing the pump that comes with pool has poor performance. Chose the bigger of the two intex salt pumps simply because it was $50 difference and could be easier to resell in future years. Once I had the 1.25 - 1.5" adapter, connection and setup was easy. See rope supports the heavier hoses on intake and return. This is more a problem with the pool not having rigid side to support, but I think if they came off with a 90 instead of straight it would be smarter. I did not cut out the return to install the 1.5" that came with the pump but it hasn't seemed to cause any problem. You can set the timer for running hours, but it only times from the first time of day you start the pump. So you turn it on at noon, it will always start at noon. You can't set it to start at 1 for example. Easy to load sand, dissolve salt in pool. Got concentration correct first time! So they have a good dilution chart. Missed the page on cyanuric acid, so my chlorine wasn't staying. Couldn't get customer support help for weeks, but by then I found the page and solved the problem! Youtube is better than their instruction manual, but it helps for what it is worth. It is compatible with the Intex vacuum so I use that. The pump is way oversized for this pool so I run it about 3-5 hours which even that may be too much. BEST review is that pool maintenance is much reduced. I check with strips weekly and that is about it. Saltwater has been a good starting experience for a pool. I occasionally see some cloudy water, but I respond by running pump extra long and seems to take care of the problem ... show more
