Replaced our old worn out 1hp pump with this one. We used to have so many issues with keeping chemistry in check and algae in our pool. I always suspected that the pump was too small/didn't move enough water. It was installed when we bought our house. This pump has made a huge differnce. We used to run the old pump 24/7 and it couldn't do what this pump doees in less than half the time. We run it 10hrs. per day. 10am-8pm and have beautiful crystal clear water in our 18x33x48" above ground pool. 15-16000 gallons.

Intex Hose Conversion Adapters Kit Review

Intex Hose Conversion Adapters Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, I don't know why anyone would order these adapters from any place other than Intex directly - the manufacturer.They sell them for about $2.50ea and you can get two, delivered anywhere for about $10.

Second, while they do attach nicely, they do cause the rest of the hose and attachments to stick out and pull down on the protruding 1 1/4" black nozzle as another poster indicated.

Finally, there is a design flaw in that the black gasket, on the end of the adapter that attaches to the plunger valve, is mated to a rim rim that is hollow.You can see this by just pulling the gasket back on that edge.Once assembled everything will work fine for a while.But after a few minutes, the gasket gets sucked into the hollow rim and causes air to enter the system resulting in a "buzzing" around the adapter and significantly reduced water flow - probably not good for the pump either.The rim really should be a solid flat surface for the gasket to mate to.This is probably caused by the a pump that is designed for 1 1/2" openings moving water through the a 1 1/4" adapter.

I considered fixing this by filling the hollow edge with liquid resin available from a craft store.I ultimately just cut out the 1 1/4" inflow and outflow black tube and installed the strainer/nozzle assemblies that came with the pump, ditching the adapters altogether.Everything works fine and I have an 1 1/2" path through the whole system. An added benefit is that the assemblies now don't pull down on the pool liner as they are closer and have much more surface area in contact with the liner.

These hose conversion adapters is the minimum required parts when you upgrades your existing Intex pool filter pump system 1000gph or smaller to any of the more powerful 1500gph, 2500gph or larger pool filter pump. If your pool is 16' in diameter of smaller, you would need this set(2 converters) to adapte to the larger 1.5" ID hose with threaded connection to your 1.25" ID hose connection. Please verified the compatibility of these hose adapters to your pool set, if you do not have an Intex pool set. ***** Not recommended for Intex 4000gph pool filter pump(this is was never designed for pool set w/ less than 52" height sidewall), due to the much higher flow-rate. ****

I am a 65 yo woman and I have an 18' round Intex pool and hated the samll cartidge filter it came with.It would stay fairly clean but hard to vacuum, etc.I set this filter up today and am in love~!!! I hooked up the vacuum I purchased and it worked like it was supposed to (what a concept).The water was crystal clear in 2 hours and the bottom clean.I am very impressed.It was slightly hard to install because the directions are not real clear, but if you have some mechanical ability, it can be done.One thing - the hoses were impossible to put on the barbs until I used the hair dryer to soften up the hose ends.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Several years back we had our pool redone, and my wife had a new Hayward pump and filter installed. While the filter worked well, the pump never seemed to move the pool cleaner systems around the pool right. We tried a few different systems the Kreepy Krawley, the Barracuda etc, and I finally thought that I should get the Hayward and that might work better with the Hayward pump? It was the best at cleaning the pool floor, but was the worst yet with the walls. Finally this summer, the pump completely siezed up and after several tries at repairs, I gave up and decided to by a new pump. I considered just getting a new motor, but I had a thought, that "what If the pump is just the wrong one?"

I have a pretty large pool for a back yard pool, and the max flow pump was a 3/4 hp which seemed like not enough, so after considering volume and distance, I decided on the Super Pump 1 1/2 hp. It was a very simple switch, just two wires,(and a ground wire of course) and the plumbing was an exact match.

Now my Hayward pool vac system literally flies around the pool, and does the work in much less than half the time it would have taken before and goes into every inch of the surface sides and bottom.

I wish I would have bought it sooner.

Salt Water Above Ground Chlorine Pump Review

Salt Water Above Ground Chlorine Pump
Average Reviews:

(More customer 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!!

Intex 56635E 1,500-Gallon Filter Pump Review

Intex 56635E 1,500-Gallon Filter Pump
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.

Had a 2 1/2 horse power pump from Rec. Warehouse would only put out 10-12 psi and was very noise. Installedthis Hayward SP1580X15 Power-Flo LX Series Pump 1-1/2 Horse Power. Putting out 15psi and very little noise from pump. Only draw back is it only has one speed HIGH. Getting ready to open pool up next week. Time will tell how well it works. I believe for the money you can not beat it, Rec. Warehouse wanted over $300. The pressure coming out of the return hose is great. Hope this helps you!

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!!
