INTEX 2,800 GPH Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools, Swimming Pool Pump with Automatic Timer - Improved Circulation, Filtration, & Clarity

We love this! One of the best purchases to upgrade our pool. Keeps our pool clean and the size it perfect for our 6000 gallon pool size. Does get hot during day but ours is sitting in direct sunlight all day long. We keep it going probably 20 hours a day and it has worked perfect. No problems at all. Filled with sand and has been going since. Has lots of options on it which helps keep water clean. Instructions are super easy and install was quick. Doesn’t disappoint. Just get it. Makes it super easy and powerful.

This has been the best investment for our pool. It is easy to use and keeps pool clear

Works great. I bought this pump for my 18x46 above ground pool. I replaced the original pump that came with the pool. A cartilage filter. The sand filter is easy to use. Saves on buying and replacing filters. You do have to purchase the sand separately but it’s not bad. The pump cleans better than the original pump. I’m satisfied with this purchase. I recommend watching YouTube videos to learn how to operate the pump. Since it requires backwashing and other operations

Setting up the pump was a breeze. Just hook up the hoses and plug it in, and you're good to go. The 24-hour timer is a handy feature that adds to the hassle-free maintenance experience. It's impressive how the pump's Hydro Aeration Technology improved water circulation, filtration, and clarity, making my pool look like bottled water. I had been using a cartridge filter before, and I can't believe the difference. With the sand filter pump, I hardly need to do any maintenance. Backwashing and rinsing it once a week keeps everything running smoothly. My pool has never been this clear and inviting. No more chemicals, just salt, and a fantastic sand filter pump. If you're considering upgrading your pool filtration system, don't wait—get this pump! It's worth every penny.

The pump itself is great except a recent rain compromised the “waterproof” GFI. Took a bit to not have a heart attack thinking the whole pump was messed up. Once thoroughly inspected we could see water in the little window on plug. Once we took plug apart, we could see where half the rubber gasket sealing the plug was not installed. Perhaps an oversight at the factory. I supplemented another plug I had on hand as I wait to hear back from company on sending me a replacement GFI plug. It’s under warranty so we will see what they do. Otherwise, it works like a champ! Really cycles the water efficiently. We are on well water and this pump helped me get the water into shape fast! I would highly recommend!

This equipment worked excellently. I was impressed by the power of the water output. It makes the water more crystal clear. It was easy to assemble myself with the help of the videos provided in the manual. I recommend it. I've been using it for two weeks and haven't had any problems.

Hooked it all up in place of our sx1500 that came with our pool. The sx1500 wouldn't run the intex auto vacuum I purchased. Worked great for about 20 minutes, ran the skimmer and the vaccuum no problem. After 20 minutes the vacuum stopped moving and the skimmer stopped skimming. So I backflushed and rinsed and cleaned all the screens. But the vacuum was barely moving and the skimmer was no longer working. So I put the block off nipple in the other outlet. This seemed to make things work for another hour or so. Then they both stopped working. So I once again backflushed and rinsed untill the sight glass was completely clear. Then rinsed out all the screens. Now the vacuum wont move and the skimmer wont skim. So I remove the skimmer.and the block off nipple off of the two outlets to the pump. Now the vacuum works a bit but barely, goes across the pool half way then stops in the middle. I try to assist it....it won't move. The gauge on the pump has been in the yellow since we got it and I know the sand is at the lower end of the fill line. Very confused and frustrated at this point. I just want the pool clean so I can use it. This is my second pump, 3rd vacuum. I have spent more on filtration then we spent on the pool. I will never buy intex again.

Pump was easy to assemble. Some tips tho. when placing, please put it where it's gonna stay cause it does not move easily with sand and water. Read the instructions carefully. Do not move the inner tube assembly while filling with sand. Should get at least 2 bags of 50lb sand to fill to proper height, not 1 bag. Honestly most of this was pretty simple to put together and the pump does actually work quite well, very quiet. I like the timer on it also. The aerator also balanced my ph level so very cool just be aware this is for pools 15' Diameter or more. Anything smaller is kinda overkill.

I considered this pump for far to long. I wish I baught it a month ago. I have an 18' round bestway pool. We have a small grey 8400 gallon pump. Our pool holds just over 8200 gallons. It just wasn't moving the water much. Time to upgrade. The 2800 pump was cheaper than the 2100 so I got the 2800 on sale. It's perfect. I thought it would be to powerful however I am thrilled for my choice. The water is moving nicely now. The pump was super easy to install. I watched the video. It was easy to follow. I did purchase an attachment kit but I didn't need it at all. The hoses i have are compatible. Keeping it, as its always nice to have extra pieces. The only pieces I will purchase will be the shut off valve for the intake hoses so I dont have to use the black stoppers when I empty the leaf basket. It is so quiet I have to keep checking if its on. Great price Great pump.

I have a Coleman 18‘ x 4 1/2‘ deep has two filter nozzles and one jet filter works great almost too big should’ve got the smaller one, but I am very very impressed. Came with just about every part except for the small adaptor hoses and connector For the filter holes, but I already had one with the original product but you can buy them here on Amazon and if you have this kind of cool, also buy the skimmer adaptor and then everything works super great.

Works great and really quiet. Pool has never been clearer and with such little work with hemicals

We don't have an Intex pool, but watched a video on YouTube to adapt it to a 15-foot Summerwaves pool. We just had to buy an adapter at the local hardware store to go from one of the hoses to the existing filter on the Summerwaves pool and that was it. The rest was as close to plug and play as it gets. FYI, my hubby isn't handy at all and we were able to figure it out. Out pool now is crystal clear and inviting vs. before with just the Summerwaves filter, which is not the greatest. We left that filter in place, because it's the first line of filtration, but the one that does the hard work is the Intex pump.
