0 of 1 found this helpful i have a 9x18x52 intex pool and after 4 years the original filter started throwing sand into the pool at an alarming rate. after trying intex for help, i tried to fix on my own which didn't work. i looked and looked for a pump and filter package for about 2 weeks, not only on ebay but amazon and different trading posts. then i thought i had finally found it.. the original pump and filter was an ST90110 (not sure if that is a correct part number) .25HP pump with filter that holds 26 # of sand. i found on ebay this one which is two sizes bigger (.6HP pump and 77# of sand) most of the forums i visited said most of the times bigger is better on a pump so i thought this is ok. after installing it which was a breeze, seeing that i had the similar pump for 4 years, i put it on auto filter setting for 4 hours, (my instruction book says this filter and pump takes 3 hours to circulate my pool.) the first day, the pool looked very nice (in comparison to what it did look like) but after a couple of days, every time i would go out i could see sand film in the bottom of the pool with some accumulation on the edges. i am still having to vacuum every other day to keep it swimmable. i would try to send back but with the supply so hard to get with the demand because of the pandemic, i am going to live with this one the rest of the summer and try something else next year.
