I purchased this product to replace the original pump that came with our Intex Pool. It has just been setup but I was amazed by how quickly the pool cleared. We fill our pool with hard water so when it is filled we can't see the bottom. Last years pump (the original pump) took days and we had to clean the filter multiple times a day to get the water to clear. With this pump I followed the directions and within 24 hours it was crystal clear. After adding 2 bags of salt and running it on boost for 12 hours chlorine and ph were perfect which was something else I never could get right last year even after spending hundreds of dollars on different chemicals. Only problem I thought I had with this pump was when I did the first backwash, lots of sand came out so I kept stopping it but then I ran it for over a minute and everything cleared and it works great now. I would highly recommend this salt system set to anyone with an Intex pool.Read full review

I've been using this filter/salt system now for about a month on an 18' x 48" above-ground pool and it has been a very good system. Pool water stays crystal clear and the salt system keeps the chlorine at the perfect level. The pump is powerful enough to use a vacuum attachment to clear heavier items that settle to the bottom and the fully functional sand filter traps everything that enters the system. With no fiber filters to replace week after week this filter system is actually cheaper to operate than the smaller, less efficient filters that usually come with above-ground pools. I spent $10.00 per week on filters last year for a 16' x 42" pool and never could keep it as clean as this one has stayed so far. With the long (5 -6 month) swimming season here on the Gulf Coast, the savings in filters alone will pay for this system in one season and I expect to get several season's use from this filter system. The instructions were clear and simple to follow. I started filling the pool first and had the filter system ready by the time the water level reached the outlet on the pool. Easy to understand charts help to get the salt level very close to correct, then indicator lights on the pump housing for high or low salt aid in minor adjustments to those levels. The consistent chlorine level achieved with the salt system helps tremendously in keeping other levels (acidity, ph, hardness) at correct levels. I have not added a single thing to this pool since the first week I set it up, and my daily tests show the water to be perfect each day. What could be easier? The pump and switching valve allow you to pump water from the pool quickly to keep the water level correct after heavy rains (which we have often here) without the need to syphon water out slowly with a garden hose. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has an above-ground pool. This summer is going to be SO much easier than the constant struggle to keep the pool available for my daughter last year was. I am extremely happy with this product so far.Read full review

I really like this system. The only thing that I would say is, the directions say not to run it constantly, but it needs to be run at least 8 hours a day to keep the pool clean since there are no chemicals. Also, be sure to backwash a lot. The pressure gauge is extremely helpful. It has all the features needed for an amateur to keep a pool clean with just salt. Other than that, this pump really works well. I would buy again and recommend to anyone I know. I never thought we could keep our pool clean and this was our last effort. It has worked out great!!

Great product for setting up pools on a budget. This is my second unit. They last for about 4ish years and only needed minor repairs. Read the manual though. Some things may need a bit more explication. Get the right pump for the right size. The 1600gph pump is actually too small for my pool and I need to upgrade the pump unit.

I replaced my old pleated filter system when it failed with this sand filter system. I chose to use recycled glass filter media, and I am impressed with how well the sand filter works at keeping my pool water crystal clear. I can also vacuum my pool through the sand filter system, and the return water into the pool remains clear, unlike my old pleated filter system which would let much of what I vacuumed up past the pleated filter and end up returning to the pool in a cloudy mess. Also the sand filter system is easier to maintain than the pleated filter cartridges which I was removing, spraying clean, and replacing twice a week. The sand filter has a guage which shows when the filter media needs to be backwashed and rinsed simply by turning a valve, and turning the pump on for about a minute. I am glad that i spent a few more dollars to upgrade to this sand filter system, instead of replacing my old cartridge system with another cartridge system. The cleaner pool, and less overall maintenance are well worth it to me.Read full review
