Answer This Question

Hello. Does this system work for a small pool that would be built below ground level? My idea is to place this system above ground level. Does it suck without problem at a height of 2 meters above the bottom of the pool, and recirculates the entire volume

    Clean and clear pool
    I bought this sand filter pump to replace an Intex cartridge pump that came with the 6,430 gal pool. That pump was way under sized and I struggled with green pool water. Its been 3 wks since I installed the pump. Install was pretty easy, instructions were overall good. Pool has beautiful clear water within 2 days with monitoring of water chemistry. I am using the Quikrete Pool Filter sand which is working well.

      Bought this filter as an upgrade for my 12’x3’ intex pool which had a cartridge filter. The pool was constantly cloudy and we were unable to vacuum it. Hooked up this sand filter and the pool cleared up within 12 hours. It was easy to assemble. Was packaged safely. Had easy to follow instructions. We did have to buy some adapters as our hoses were a smaller size. The pump also comes with its own hoses and clamps. I’ve only had the filter for one day but am already impressed by its performance.

        We purchased this filter a month ago to replace a very old one. Our pool is an above ground 18x33' and this filter has helped keep it crystal clear. My husband had no problems putting together and hooking it up, and we were so excited when we first turned it on to find how much quieter it was than our old one. I was a little concerned about other reviewers having issues with leaking but can report we've had none! Great product!

        This product is a plus. The water is so clean, and is so easy to do the maintenance. Best if you install a inline chlorination system, a bomb. Thanks Home Depot. I don't use the water house and the clamps. If you want a pro install use PVC.

        Poor quality plastic pipe threads, and cheap hoses and crappy hose clamps. Leaks like the Titanic!
        Bought this a month or so ago. Apparently they don't know how to mold tapered threads for plastic fittings in China. Even the pressure gauge leaks due to poor threads on the tank. The drain plug? is also leaking! The Teflon tape supplied is too narrow to properly leak proof 1-1/2" threads. The hoses are cheapo too, and the hose clamps are a poor design for thin plastic hoses. The pump is nice and quiet at least and appears to be keeping the water clear! I would not recommend this unit unless you enjoy fighting poor quality fittings!
