Intex 3,000-Gallon Sand Filter Pump Reviews
Works great, easy set up, quiet
I bought this pump about a week ago to replace the 1500gph pump that came with Intex pool pump easy set 18’x48″ round pool. This was very convenient due to the fact that it was made by intex and was very simple to hook up to the existing setup. I have been really impressed so far with the design and function of intex pool pump components, particularly relating to the hose connections. Nothing beats the threaded hose connections and the convenient shut-off valves in the pool walls.
This pump comes with the pump motor and sand filter. The only thing I had to supply was two 50lb bags of silica filter sand. The connections and assembly were typical intex easy for a do it your selfer no tools needed, which seems to be a theme with intex pool pump products. The motor is quite powerful and the sand filter is second to none. It is also quite convenient because you don’t have to replace a paper filter every two weeks. Water has been crystal clear. Once I bought the sand I had this thing up and running in about 25 minutes. It works with all of the existing connections on the 18′ diameter and larger pools. If you have a smaller pool you have to use some adapters that come with the pump kit. A new set of hoses is included as well with the very convenient threaded connections.
Overall I love this pump so far
CON: My only small gripe is the O-ring seal in the leaf catcher lid. You really have to tighten it just right to get a good seal (if not it will drip all day). If it’s too loose it leaks, if it’s too tight it leaks. You really have to mess with it so it won’t leak. This did not become apparent until the first time I had to remove the lid to pull out the strainer for cleaning. Going to have to deduct a star for that. Minor inconvenience, but the pump is still a lot of bang for the buck and I don’t regret my purchase one bit.
