  • Deceptive Powerhouse for the Price
Style: Single Speed Pump Size: 12 Inch (Up To 8000 Gal)
We have had small above ground pools for over 20 years but this is the first sand filter we have owned and used. Why did I not get one before?! This thing is fabulous! Our pool is literally SPARKLING clean - I have have never seen the water looking so good. We have a 18' pool and it handles that size without problem. The pump is fairly quiet - you can hear it running but not annoyingly. Ran great as soon as I set it up. It came with extra tubing and most everything you need. You will need o ring lube and possibly different tubing depending on your setup. The biggest downfall is the directions are not great when it gets to telling you which tubes to hook where. The directions are fine for putting the sand filter together but I found I had to do some searching of other peoples photos to see how to connect hoses thus I am including some photos of hose setup to help you out in case you get on the struggle bus like me (I have a bus pass). The plugs are plastic (as are 99.999% of everything made nowadays...ugh) so you have to use some care when tightening but nothing that would keep me from buying - just keep it under Hulk level and you should be fine. Directions were alittle lacking on when to backwash the filter but with alittle Googling I was able to make sense of the directions (pressure increase above starting pressure - time to backwash). All in all, a very nice, very affordable sand filter. ... show more

  • Has been great so far!
Style: Single Speed Pump Size: 12 Inch (Up To 8000 Gal)
We have a square best way 10 foot by 6 foot 3 foot deep pool. We had some pretty crappy weather here in Pennsylvania in the month of June. The pool was covered a lot with a tarp because we had a lot of 70s temperatures with a lot of rain. When we went to take the cover off of the pool, the one day, the water smelled, was aqua colored, and mosquito larva had infested it swimming all around. It was gross and the pool was unswimmable. We went that day and got pool chemicals and doused the water and bugs. Chlorine, shock, and algicide. We had an upgraded larger paper filter, filter on our pool. (Also bought from Amazon) After days of having it running and putting the chemicals in the pool it still was not clean or clear. It turned more bluish, but you could not see through it all and it still smelled like a pond. We then went and got clarifier. We ended up putting clarifier in the pool two different times because the pool still was not clear and looked milky and foggy. We thought we were going to end up having to drain the pool after a few weeks of not being able to get it back to normal. We kept adding chlorine every couple of days to try to correct the smelly aqua tinted water. Although all the bugs eventually did die and disappear. My daughter was upset because I wouldn't let her swim in it. Lol We needed a solution. I started searching online for a solution and read that we may need a stronger, pool filter or a sand filter, and that the water may not be getting enough filtration or circulation. I came onto Amazon and bought this sand filter. It took my husband a couple of hours to get it hooked up properly and put together. We let it run all night and checked the pool the very next morning and it was already 1000 times better. The next day after that the pool was blue and clear again!! Finally swimable!! had went through so many headaches within about three weeks to try to get our pool back to normal and apparently all we had to do was buy a small sand filter. It has been working perfect, and has a great amount of power for our pool. If something ends up happening with it, I will update my review but so far it has been great for us!! Picture attached is after leaving it run just for one night! Last photo is what we originally had on our pool. ... show more

  • Good pump, a little quirky at the beginning
Style: Single Speed Pump Size: 12 Inch (Up To 8000 Gal)
The filter/pump work great, easy to assemble with instructions provided. The filter itself seems to need to be backwashed about every other day at first though, and the meter never reads the pressure above 0 no matter how forceful the water is coming back out or not. (I'm sure that's my own user error, maybe it's screwed in too tight? I'm gonna mess with it and see if I can get it to read better) I have this on my 18ft above ground pool, and it does an okay job....it's filtering continuously because my pool is surrounded by trees and we use it every day (& I worked in the pool industry for a long time, so I'm used to having them run all the time). I think the issues with maintaining filtration if the giant pool are more a design flaw of the pool itself than the filter/pump (i.e., only having one side skimmer filter point vs multiple down in the pool) especially for a pool this size ....but....this thing runs smoothly, quietly, and is definitely kickin' more butt than the stock one which broke within a month. Levelled up here for sure! Great price point for the quality. I do wish the instructions included more troubleshooting tips ....it doesn't look like there's a power button in this thing, so I'm unplugging it and having to plug it back in to switch between modes (backwash/rinse/filter), and specifics on how to get the gauge to read would be good. The review below mentions a timer, but this does not have a timer. Also, the pump has NO skimmer basket, so there's nothing keeping the debris from going straight into the filter.....God only knows how many cicadas I now have in that thing. Fortunately, my skimmer basket from the pool has a strainer....but that wasn't staying out for a couple of days, so it's possible some got through. Lastly, there could be instructions on hooking up the vacuum to this system. I had to order a skimmer attachment, and it doesn't get nearly enough suction as a direct line to the pump would. But then, there's no skimmer basket in the pump, so I don't really want all of that debris going directly into the filter either. :-/ Room for improvement, but overall very pleased. ... show more
