5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful filter
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2024
Works great, is easy to use, has powerful flow, the sand canister is pretty big, it held 100lbs of pool sand. I am now able to use my skimmer and keep the other port open on my 12'x22'x48" pool, without losing suction on my skimmer. The water is crystal clear and I was able to use the hoses that came with my old small sand filter, so I now have 2 spare hoses. I like the timer function and how words are on the top controls instead of having to decipher symbols. It easily attached to my salt water generator, cord is average length and it's worth every penny I spent on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome and powerful pump for a decent price.I recommend you buy it!
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2020
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 filter to replace the crappy one that came with the Coleman power vista pool and it works amazing. Keeps water clear without ton of chemicals. Has timer. Went on vacation for a week and water was still clear when we came home. Easy to install. 100% worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great! Review for 2,100 gph unit
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2024
I installed the 2,100 gph sand filter unit today for my daughter's backyard 4,400 gallon above ground pool. In a nutshell....it's a nice pump/filter. Seems to be quality made, it went together well, hooked up to her pool well, with a couple adapters needed since her connections were 1-1/4", and this pump/filter comes with 1-1/2" hoses/connectors. The pump that came with her Coleman pool was anemic, at best, and this Intex pump solved that problem in spades.
So far...very happy! Time will tell how long it lasts, but as I mentioned, it appears to be a quality product.
I'll update if we have any problems in the near future....but so far, so good!
Also...FYI, it took exactly 50 lbs of filter sand to put the level exactly in the middle of the minimum/maximum area.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Well
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2024
I'm so glad I upgraded to this sand filter from the cartridge filter we had. We use sand in it, not the balls, and it works so good! It is able to keep up with our pool, except for the nasty algae that won't go away. We just have to run it more than the 5 hrs, but overall, it's been the BEST upgrade we've ever done!
I like how easy it is to use and the ease of switching between the features. It's not hard to put together either. The only issue I have is We didn't receive the bolts and screws to attach the 2 pieces together correctly. It doesn't affect the unit, but it would be nice to have it attached as it should be.
Overall, I'm so happy with our purchase. We've been using it for about 2 months already!
