Every video I watch on upgrading the pool pumps, I notice the same thing... THESE PUMPS ARE SO LOUD! One guy, I could barely hear him... don't know why he even bothered making it! You explain things well, but its just too loud. Thanks for the vid!
When the pump and filter is off does the water still gets in the pump? I have a similar pump and the same filter but I still don’t have electricity running on the pump and I don’t want to fill the poop up to the skimmer before I have an outlet.
I just ordered this same one on amazon, the prices of pumps right now is frustrating!!!! I’m not getting mine until July 7th though. Let me know how you make out with yours!!!!
Carlos Belcerra I’m actually taking my pool down now but the pump worked great for me!!!!!! Easy set up, no leaks or anything and makes vacuuming work like a charm! It was my first sand pump and I wish I would have purchased this years ago! The pumps with the filters are horrible with vacuuming-I was able to vacuum my large oval intex within 10 minutes with sandpro 75 d!
A much better adapter is the GAME 4560 available here www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TYBCEG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=AQ8ZOMX0FE9YI&psc=1 Do not over tighten the 1.5 inch threads into the bottom of your skimmer. It comes with an O ring that will unseat if you do. The other end uses a gasket that fits your intex hose perfectly!
Great Video, good information, i have the same pool type but a little bigger( 20x48) but need a new sand filter pump and was looking at the intex brand. I will purchase the same brand.
We have a 8 foot inter pool about 24 in. Deep what size filter pump can we use, and how often can we shock the water,, first time pool owners. It's the best toy we have ..two señiors gust trying to stay cool
just to let you know that small jet nozzle you have on the return inside the pool is putting a strain on the pump motor, i had one and it burned out my pump motor after 3 seasons, i know this video is 4 years old but if anybody watching now save yourself some grief. (my wallet still hurts lol)
Yes you can leave your pool up all year. I leave my 16x48 up all year and just winterize it. Next year I'm getting a 24' Eclipes and will be leaving it up also. It is a lot of wasted time and money draining it and getting it ready for storage and then having to put it back up the next year and filling it back up again. It is so much easier to just buy a winterizing kit, put it in the pool,cover up your pool and you are done till summer comes around again.
Where did you buy these items because I have been to Lowe's, home depot, true value ( which used to be ace hardware) no one knows what I am talking about. Please help
John, I like your video and your explanation, nicely done. I have a summert waves 15x48 pool similar to yours. My setup thats attached to the side of the pool is similar to yours except that the hose outlet is on the side of the plastic casing. I want to hook a haywwod pump to mine, but my pump motor is inside the casing and sealed to a plate on the bottom. I would need an adapter plate, or filter plate to illimated the motor. can you tell me where you got yours? Thank You Don
I had the same thing happen with the hose crimping up on my vacuum hose.... Now I understand why. Plus I also had to cut the hole to upgrade my pump and was scared the whole time I was cutting glad I didn't mess it. Love my sand filter.
Hi Joe. Thank for making this video! We installed ours tonight (a 12" 2100gph on a 12' x 3 Summer Escapes) Everything's working great but I still have air in my inlet tank (the part with the clear top)-do you know if this is a problem?
what do u use to cover the entire bottom of skimmer? my pool has a pump like that and I want to convert to the sand filter but the pump is the entire bottom of skimmer, you take the pump out and there's no bottom...anyone know what you need besides the adapter?
Just curious, but what made you decide to purchase the 3000GPH pump which is rated for larger pools? I have a `16ft pool, and I just purchased the 2100GPH sand filter pump. Do you think this is a bit overkill or was it worth it?
