Ideal for busy professionals seeking hassle-free, crystal-clear pool water with a sleek, reliable setup.

## Description

Keep your pool water safe and clean with INTEX Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump. Sand Filters are one of the most popular ways to keep pool water clean. They can sometimes pick up a lot more of the small algae and dirt particles floating around in your pool. But not only is it effective, it saves on cost and time since the sand needs replacement just once every five years, not every two weeks like a filter cartridge pump. Sand Filters are easy to maintain and a great alternative to keep your pool water sanitized. This sand filter sports a six-function control valve which enables you to filter, backwash, rinse, recirculate, drain and close the system. It includes a 24-hr automatic timer to set the operating time and a safety shut-off to make pool maintenance much simpler. This pump has a flow rate of 2,100 gallons per hour, creating a system flow rate of 1,600 gallons per hour and making it a perfect fit for above ground pools up to 18 feet in diameter (or 24x12 rectangular).

Review: Install much more simple then it seems. Most parts included. Great with Summer Escape Pro Series with SFS filter! - I am writing a review to advise others on how I installed my Krystal Clear sand filter as I was extremely confused while purchasing these items. 3 years ago I purchased a Summer Escapes 16ft Pro Series above ground steel frame pool. We never set it up until about a week ago. The filter that came with it was absolute garbage. It was a SFS1700 (or 1500C) series filter (with 1.25in hose connector) but had the wrong internal parts installed where the rod was not long enough to hold the impeller in place. It also had an additional impeller that was not suppose to be there. After 12 hours of grinding and pumping little water the filter broke. As I read it was a bad filter anyway I did not bother attempting to order replacement parts for it and that filter replacement was the same cost as the sand filter so I took the leap after reading all of the great reviews for the sand filter here. (A side note, the local pool store had a 50lbs bag of pool sand for $9.99 so I was able to get the sand in time for quick install). What was needed to install this filter part wise was extremely confusing especially since I had the SFS skimmer style filter basket. Therefore, along with this filter I ordered the GAME 4552 Skim Filter Pump Adapter (For Intex & Bestway Pools) from desertcart. The GAME 4552 fit perfectly with the hose for this filter and installed quickly and easily in my skimmer basket. (It fits 1.25in and 1.5in filter hoses and fits snugly even without a hose clamp). Next I had to get the output from the sand filter back into the pool. I figured this would take a complicated trip to the hardware store. Luckily, and to my surprise, the pump actually came with two hose conversion adapters. These are the threaded adapters you see with the filter as frequently bought together. When I read the reviews for the conversion adapters I saw that they did not generally work with the Summer Escape Pro series so I didn't buy them. Well, let me tell you how glad I was they came with the filter. I attached the conversion adapter to the threaded piping coming off the filter and then I attached the other end to the original 2ft pvc tubing that came with the pool and connected the water return/output to the original filter. I attached it snugly with he hose clamp that came with the pool and original filter and the install was complete within minutes. No needing to order extra parts, no trips to the hardware store. This install was as simple as can be and my pool now has a much better working sand filter. I would never replace or repair the original pump when this option is available PRIME at such a reasonable and comparable price. So far after a few days the filter works great. It moves a lot of water. The original pool vacuum included in the pool set still works as before. I left the original skimmer and filter in the filter basket and just essentially have a double filter at this point. I may remove the filter media. I don't know if having it in there does any harm or good so I just left it to start with. It is nice to have the extra skimmer in especially when using the vacuum. My only complaint with this filter is that to set the auto timer you have to turn it on at the time you want it to run. You can only actually set the amount of time you want it to run for. So if you want the filter to run from 4AM until 8AM you actually have to turn on the timer switch at 4AM. This would not be a huge deal if you had to do it only 1 time but the timer switch is the same as the main power switch so if you turn the filter on at any other time you have to reset the timer switch again at for me 4AM. This is also true if there is a power outage which generally resets the breaker on the filter plug. The reasons I am running my filter from 4AM until 8AM is that it is still somewhat noise so best to run while neighbors and I are sleeping and not generally outside. I don't want to run it during the day because you should not be swimming with the pump running it says. Finally, I would just run it from around midnight until 4AM but if for some reason the breaker on the plug resets and the pump is not running you would never know if you are sleeping. At least by having it run until 8AM I can check in the morning to make sure that the pump is indeed running and if it is not catch it much more quickly then if it is only running while I sleep. Overall this is a great pump but as I said I would like to see a timer dial as opposed to the current setup where I have to set an alarm to turn on the timer at 4AM every time it is reset. It is a little noisy but nothing that irritating. Just may not want it running to close to your patio or house if you are trying to sit outside and relax. it is no where near as bad noise wise as the pump that came with the pool. I would highly recommend it. This is my first pool and I am not that handy or patient with this kind of stuff. If I can make this work simply anyone can. I already see a difference in my water after only 1 day. Attached are photos of this pump installed (sorry the cover blocks some of the connectors) and the original pump that came with the pool for reference.
Review: Can't say enough just how pleased I am with this pump!! - I cannot express just how pleased I am with this purchase. I have struggled for several years with a D.E. Perflex Bump filter. Although the D.E. filter resulted in crystal clear water, the upkeep was back breaking. If for some reason the pool became overly dirty, I would have to take the filter apart, clean the filter "fingers", which were coated in the D.E. powder and put the filter back together. I would sometimes have to do this a number of times until the pool was clear again because the alge and dirt would get caked on the D.E. filter "fingers". After deciding to finally look in to a sand filter system, I was shell shocked at the prices the local pool store gave me. So I went online and there too, the prices were so high. Then I saw a few less expensive systems, including the Intex line. I was skeptical because of the too good to be true factor, and that I always thought of Intex as the pools you buy at Walmart. My pool is an 18' round 54" deep abover ground steel sided pool. I took a chance and ordered this system. It came in 2 days (prime), was super easy to set up, and the water supply flow back in to the pool is just about equal to my Hayward pump I used with the Hayward filter. The only thing to be aware of is that you will require the hose adapers if your pool isn't an Intex pool. I got these a while back when I was trying to figure out a way to hook my pump/filter up to the pool using the Intex hoses. GAME 4560 40mm to 1 1/2 Inch Conversion Kit (For Intex & Bestway Pools) http://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B004TYBCEG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage. I cannot tell you how much time, effort, and money I have spent chasing leaks, either at the pump connections, the skimmer, filter, yadda yadda. All filter systems should allow for connections to be made with the type of hoses supplied with this pump. No more hose clamps that don't tighten enough. No more pvc pipes and pvc cement, etc... The other item is the power cord. It comes with a GFCI plug on a super long cord. This I am sure can be very convenient for most. However, I have the outlet used for the pump wired in to a timer located in my garage. When the timer shuts off, the power to the outlet shuts off and subsequently the GFCI on the plug trips. This defeated the purpose of having an automatic timer due to having to go out to the filter and reset the GFCI plug after the timer turned the power to the outlet on in the a.m. I simply took the cord from my old pump and easily wired it in to the Intex pumps electrical box. So, I look forward to using the multi-position valve on the sand filter to simply backwash the dirt and such out of the sand. The sand of which, you will need 120lbs of. I picked up 50lb bags for $10 each. Great product for my 18' round pool! I look forward to enjoying my pool more and working on it less! :-)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why did I wait so long??????
*by E***5 on July 6, 2017*

We have an 18' prism pool. About 7,000 gallons, give or take, and last year I struggled with the supplied pump trying to help it manage a pool that it had no business being hooked up to. This year, I knew I was going to upgrade. I AM SO GLAD I BOUGHT THIS PUMP!! Watched the video, followed the instructions and had it up and running in about 30 min. The hoses were the same size as my previous filter, so I cheated and simply hooked up the existing hoses to the new filter. Technically, I should have taken off the output hose, inserted the supplied valve and then connected it, but I didn't. Worked great regardless. Now to some of the complaints I worried about before buying: Noise: non-existent. Quieter or as quiet as my tiny baby pump I had previously. Assembly: easy. Watch the video, pay attention to instructions and you shouldn't have any trouble! Operation: Perfection. I have 3-5 kids swimming almost every day for several hours at a time and I have yet to have ONE cloudy or green day. I run it less than 4 hours per day. More like 2-3. Cleaning the sand: easy. My filter usually sits around 7-8 pressure-wise. I've needed to backwash (when pressure reaches above 10) once. It took all of about 10 minutes. For my pool, this filter is a workhorse that keeps everything crystal clear! Well worth the piddly price tag if you don't want to be chasing a clean pool all season. Sit back and relax and let this guy do the work for you!
