 pump works in conjunction with other necesary pool maintanence August 3, 2007

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!
Very Impressed!!! Worked with Intex 48"x16' 2008 Pool!! July 28, 2010

As I live in Louisiana, the weather tends to be unpredictable, very hot (generally 100 degrees daily), humid, and it rains a lot. Our 48" x 16' Intex pool is under many older tall oak and palm trees along with tropical plants planted around it. I wanted to get a pump that was more powerful with more GPH pressure. The original pump, that being a 1000GPH pump wasn't sending debris, i.e. dirt, leaves, etc. into the skimmer moreover the mess would end up on the bottom of the pool. We would have to vacuum it daily; this begin to become bothersome.
We have the Intex Saltwater System (very impressed with this product as well) and we never have any issues with chemical levels! The pump fit all the pool hoses that came with the pool back in 2008. The intake hose (hose from the skimmer to the pump) has an inside piece which I removed (small white little fitting), once removing the little inside hose piece, it fit onto this pump snugly. I placed a clamp around it to insure no water would leak. I had no problems with the hose connecting to the Salt Water System- it screwed perfectly into place and took less than 15 minutes to do!
As we have been having tropical storm like weather this past week (high winds, large amounts of rainfall, etc.), I am very impressed with this new 1500GPH pump and the ability it has to get all the leaves and dirt to the skimmer before settling down to the bottom of the pool. Since the weather has been severe, no one has been in the pool for a week and it looks cleaner than I have ever seen it. The pump does have a timer on it but we keep this pump on 24 hours per day and the Salt Water System for 8 hours in the early morning (from 2am-10am). All pool levels are correct, never a algae problem and very simple to maintain.
We have had the pump for two weeks and I just changed out the filter last night. When using the 1000GPH pump, I was changing the filter out daily! This new pump is well worth the price and I suggest anyone whom may be interested in it purchase it now!!
Great!!! July 30, 2010

This was exactly how online purchases should go. Good communication from the seller, quick and inexpensive shipping and a correct order delivered to my door. Very pleased with the pump as it was the perfect replacement model for ours that went bad. We have been enjoying the summer in the pool almost every day. Thanks!

This product was a perfect replacemet for the original that stopped working. It is exactly the same as the original pump that came with it and hooked right up to all the existing hoses and to the pool with no problems.
