4000 Gallon Intex Filter Pump Review

4000 Gallon Intex Filter Pump
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have an 18' pool, this is my third year and the original pump just gave up.I ordered this pump and WOW, I'm vacuuming in 10 minutes the ENTIRE pool, counting the stops to clear the net.I live in Florida in a rural zone and in previous years if I forgot to chlorinate two times during a HOT week, GREEN water!Now I just turn the pump twice a week two hours (once with the nozzle up and the other nozzle down before I vacuum) and chlorinate once a week, crystal clear water.I did not use the valves it came with as my pool was full, but I used the output filter it comes with, it is just great.Aim the nozzle up, and the water ACTUALLY comes out in the air and back in the pool, so long algae! (only people in HOT zones will get this).I aim it at the floor in the opposite direction of the pump and any debris at the bottom ends up in the center.Get my pole and net and don't even have to vacuum every week, on weekends just place the skimmer and in 5 minutes, ready to go, no bugs floating (again Florida, flying thingies everywhere!).If you like the size of your above ground, I assure you, ALL your problems are due to the no good pump it comes with, you just need MORE POWER!!!!

If you are buying an 18ft pool, PLEASE consider buying this pump, the pump the 18" pool comes with is just NOT appropriate for its size, I suffered for two years cleaning and cleaning my pool, and now this summer the water has been crystal clear ALL SUMMER.Avoid headaches and excessive use of chemicals, get a better pump from the get go.I love my pool AGAIN!!!!I'm adding to this review in September because I love my pool AGAIN!!!!

I purchased this unit to replace the smaller weak stock filter pump that came with my 18x48 easy set pool. This unit is VERY strong! It even cleaned up the debris off the bottom without even vacuuming the pool! I highly recommend this pump to anyone tired of messing with the under powered pumps that come with the easy set pools. Caution should be used around children however, as this pump could cause a suction hazard.

Salt Water Above Ground Chlorine Pump Review

Salt Water Above Ground Chlorine Pump
Average Reviews:

If any of you out there have one of those Intex, above-ground, metal framed pools...then this is a must have!!I have had my pool now for 3 years.Each year I have gone the chlorine route and had to buy expensive chemicals, add them all the time, check the water all the time, etc.But this year I purchased one of these, hooked it to my existing pump; followed the directions....And you just set it and forget it!!It sounded too good to be true...but it is true!! All you have to do is to push a button every once in a while to run the Boost cycle (after hard rains and about once a week-same as what you would call a Shock treatment with chemicals) and change the filter when in need.The new 2010 model even will give you a code if your salt level gets too low...or too high...or even if your water flow is low. You cannot taste the salt..no burning eyes, bathing suits dont change their colors..and the water is just as clear....I LOVE IT...and would highly recommend it.I can actually enjoy my pool!!It will pay for itself in the first season!!

Product Description:
***** Brand New 2010 Model, w/ 2nd stage Copper Ionizations to Control Algae Growth, for Intex Brand Pool & Intex Filter Pump System ***** This Chlorinator/Chlorine Generator/Saltwater system is designed for Intrex pool set 15' or larger with a properly matched/sized intex filter pump. It might also be compatible with other above ground pool system, however, we do not guaranteed the compatibility of the products. No more red, burning eyes, faded clothes, and pool liners! Simply hook the Intex saltwater generator into the pool's water flow as directed, add the specified amount of salt, and the Chlorine Generator will do the rest. The pool's water is converted to an effective algaecide - and since salt doesn't evaporate or dissipate as chlorine does, the constant addition of chemicals is a thing of the past. Keep your pool incredibly clean, crystal clear and fresh at all times.

Intex 56635E 1,500-Gallon Filter Pump Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
this pump came with my Intex inflatable ring pool (18x48) I bought in 2007.The pump action is plenty strong for taking care ofbusiness with a pool this size.However, the impeller design leaves much to be desired.The impeller is attached to a plastic covered magnet which spins to create the pump action.After a year (about 4 months of use where I live) the plastic cover over the magnet broke and the magnet is beginning to rust out.It still works at an impaired level, and it makes a lot of noise.I bought this on June 23, 2007.I called Intex on July 7 2008 - 2 weeks out of warranty, and the Intex rep said "there is nothing we can do for you."I asked about a replacement impeller, he said they dont sell just the impeller (which is rediculous, as they break all the time).I asked if they could cover me under the warranty as it's only been a couple weeks outside of the year.He said "we can't do that."So now I'm stuck having to shell out for a new pump once the rest of the plastic dislodges from the impeller.Save your money.Intex pools are great, but buy a different brand name pump to service the pool if you can.These pumps are not built to last.As for Intex customer support, their policy is 1 year and I can't argue with them, though not working with a customer when their product is only 2 weeks out of warranty is pretty pathetic.

We have purchased two of these pumps and we lucky if they worked for a month or two being used at the most 2 to 3 hours a day. Last summer we stored our brand new pump carefully knowing how sensitive these pumps are. We set up our pool this spring and plugged in our carefully-stored pump- nothing. There is no reason why this should not work other than shoddy workmanship. Don't waste your money.

Intex 1,500 gph Above Ground Pool Replacement Filter Pump Only Review

Intex 1,500 gph Above Ground Pool Replacement Filter Pump Only
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all, this "toy" does not exhibit a "fun" value, nor does it have an "educational" value, but I couldn't post this review without giving it a star rating...LOL.

I have this pump that came with my easy-set, metal-frame pool.It works great, but not without other regular maintanence tasks that is required to keep your pool clean and healthy.Sounds like the previous reviewers expect the filter to work on its own, continuously, like with an in-ground pool.This is not the case.

As for the one previous reviewer that says it doesn't filter sediment, that's because you need to use the vacuum.The vacuum (at least with my pool) had a separate canister, whereby you insert a tighly-woven mesh bag, and connect the hoses to the filter and vacuum the pool bottom.I do this every 2-3 days, depending on pool usage.Plus, it's very helpful to have a tub of clean water for pool users to rinse their feet before climbing the ladder to enter the pool.This had cut down the sediment problem immensely.

At any rate, after a thorough vacuuming of the pool bottom, I find that the mesh bag is loaded with sediment and other stuff.After vacuuming, I switch the vacuum canister with the skimmer piece and let the filter run 6-8 hours (overnight works well for me).

Another problem that may inhibit the filter's function for the previous reviewers is you cannot leave the filter connected to the pool hoses 24/7.The filter cartridge stays submerged and will eventually mold - greatly reducing the filtering rate and getting yucky water slowly filtering back into the pool when you do turn the filter pump on.This happened with another friend of mine and once he started disconnecting hoses and changing the canisters more frequently, the problem stopped.

You need to close the plunger valves, disconnect the hose from the filter (I leave the other end attached to the plungers)and open the side valve on the filter to fully drain the water. From there, I check the status of the filter cartridge -- sometimes it can last 2-3 filtering runs (when I leave it on over night) and other times, it needs immediate replacing.During heavy usage months, I go through a least 1-2 cartridges a week.

Also, by disconnecting the hose from the filter itself, you can check the outside connection point.Sometimes I find grass blades (that slithered through the skimmer) trapped and blocking the intake point to the filter.However, this is rare.I also put chlorine shock through my skimmer, while the filter is on, once a week.This helps to keep the filter mechanisms cleaned, too.

Having a pool is lots of fun for my family and their friends, that come over...but, with the fun, comes responsibility.Maintaining proper PH/chlorine levels is an absolute must.High PH reading with not only affect the clarity of your water and the comfort of your swimmers, but the acidic reading (PH 7.8 and higher) will wear out the filter as the acid water goes through.

Invest in a 3-way pool kit (about $10) and check the PH and chlorine daily.This will help prolong the life of your pool and the filter.Once the pool is stabilized (the PH and Chlorine levels are harmonized), this routine maintanence doesn't take long.Frequent and proper filtering, vacuuming, chlorine (some people use the floating duck to slowly dissolve chlorine daily...for me, I do a weekly shock treatment instead without problems) will keep everyone happy.

If you are not diligent with the pool upkeep, then you will have problems with algae, etc... and will end up wasting water from having to drain it and start over.Good luck!

I was way disappointed in the filter that came with my pool as it was horribly underpowered last year.We had trouble finding a replacement last year during the season and I stumbled upon this one.It works GREAT.Upon ordering, I received it in about four days.It turned over the pool in no time and the water was sparkling with just a half day's run time.The previous filter had been on for two days at a clip and would not handle the pool.The only problem I had with this pump is the picture is not accurate.The picture shows a larger pump with the medium canister separate from the pump; that was a big selling point for me.This is a single canister with the pump inside and under the filter medium.I would have ponied up the extra $30 for the larger pump had I known.I was UPSET upon receiving it, as I felt I had been duped, but its performance has been exceptional.I would still buy the larger one for my pool (~14'round x 33" deep) if only to save on the operating costs.Other than that however no complaints!

Amazon gives me a toy rating system for this pool pump - but it is everything but!!A terrific pump that I bought as a replacement for an 18 x 4 foot pool - as I was looking for a pump that I could really "vacuum" with.This filter was the ticket.It has ample power and suction to perform my task without a problem.The larger filter is wonderful in that now I no longer have to do the filter cleaning every other day but can go 1-2 weeks!!No more surface skimming either! I simply turn the pump on for 10 minutes before we get in and the skimmer basket combined with this pump does it for me!!In summary - I now love my pool a whole lot more!!
