Yours was the best video yet for explaining this filter. Thank you!

Thank you for such a detailed video. Gonna place my order tonight.

This video helped, install is straight forward. I just received mines (14" version) and it has a neat little basket for all the stuff it catches

Just bought this one and it's due to be delivered today. Ty for showing me your set up! Was a bit nervous on some thing but you helped to answer my questions.

Your video was a huge help! Thank you for the detailed installation!

You really helped me with this filter. I was lost. I appreciate this video. Thank you

I just wanted to say thank you sooooo much. I was a hot mess. You got me through it step by step. By far the best video 🙏🏽

Thanks for your video, I ordered today and will upgrade soon.

Thank u so much for the video iv been so hesitant on converting from the original pump/filter mostly cause i didn't know much about sand and pump my wife has tried as well to get me to swich but after your video im ready t ok switch thank you!!

Thank You! Your video helped me a lot with getting my Intex sand filter installed!

This helped me so much, thank you🙏

One of the best video I ever watched, thank you so much

Just bought this pump today. You had the same pump that came with the pool and it blew up yesterday. . This is the EXACT REPLACEMENT I got and I appreciate this detailed setup with this Sand pump! This is the way videos are supposed to be done!👍😉😎

I’m doing this as right now … and I feel pretty confident…your awesome for the detail brother thanks I will update the comments on my final result

Thanks 🙏 for the video! I’m about to do the same upgrade, you saved the day!

Thank you for all the information.

thanks Frank, you taught me something. I appreciate it🤗

Thank you for the valuable information.

Just purchased our first above ground pool and convinced my husband to purchase this pump before even getting our pool. Glad I did this! Super detailed video! Thanks so much!!!

Thanks for posting this video, you made it easy to follow. Subscribed to see more of your videos.

That Mario Shirt is encouraging to accomplish this Switch. Thank you!!

Thanks so much for the video!

Great video! Very helpful!Thank you 😊

Works better than I expected. I feel really warm water coming in from the pump after it goes thru the solar mat. We also use a solar blanket which works great.

Very detail info, thank´s

Thank you Frank the Tank!!! You helped me a lot. Be blessed my guy

Awesome video!!! Thank you

Ty helping me out

Amazingly helpful video. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Good job man

Great video. Thank you for sharing and selling me on this .. 😂 was very close to buying it but decided not to until I watched your video. Thx again,

Thank you it was so helpful ❤

Great video 👍

Hey this vdo is really good enjoyable to watch til the end thanks so much .

Thanx for your vid👍

Excellent video

Great video ✌️😊💕

I just bought this filter pump and thank you for sharing this video. Just want to ask, after doing the valves backwash, rinse and filter, what valve that I always use before using the pool and after using pool?

Nice video, I have a similar set-up. One advice, get rid of the intex skimmer and get the Hayward rectangle skimmer. It will require cutting of the liner but the end results is well worth it.

Only.. THANKS!!

Every year at summertime when i set up my pool and filter i watch this video! great instruction!

This is a good pump I wish I had the money to buy it my pool pump is very weak

Thanks to your vid i was able to make some correctiions to my pool pump i appreciate the info.

Tell me about the solar setup in the background!

Now that you've had it for a while, any chance you can do a tutorial on each of the functions? I'm having issues on mine where I run it, on filter, but saw some dirty water being pumped back into the pool.

Sometimes you gotta leak some water 💦 good video mi hermano

Thanks for this video it helped a ton! Quick question should I see water going into the clear tube off the short hoses? I think I have everything set up right and on but expected to see water coming in and out.

When it comes to the timer, how does that work. It said I should set mine to 5(for 5 hours) do I have to turn it on every day for it to run, or does it do it automatically? Like 5 hours on, 5 hours off and so on?

Can you show how to hook up the skimmer?

Hey great video! I am setting this up for our stock tank pool… our intex filter doesn’t come with a backwash hose like you use. Can you point me to one that will work with it? Thanks man!

When replacing sand I can never get the center pipe to go on all the way down to make a seal.

Can you post a video of the chemicals you use to clean your pool?

Thank s man

When you screwed on the transparent leaf trap did you have an o ring towards the back and the front one or just one?

Hi! Great Video! I will buy this pump to upgrade my actual filter system. I would like to know if I need to protect the Pump against the rain, or it could be installed and work without any protection? Thank You!

Thanks for the step by step video this helped us tremendously! I'm just confused about the chemicals now. I've read some people do salt water and other people just do chlorine tabs. Can you steer me in the right direction?? Thanks!!

Thx for the lovely video! If the power cuts off and comes back, u need to press on the ON button again and and set the timer again? Or it turns on automatically and keep the same settings ? Thxxx

You say its quiet, but the engine makes a lot of noise for a neighborhood, I would advice caution.

Nice video!, Also just bought an intex 26644 for €120.

Hi I bought an intex 7’x14’ pool , but it didn’t comes with any part for the filter, and also the hose is 1.25 instead of 1.5 , beside the convert adapter what else I will need to buy ??

Great vid! Do you notice a lot of suction from the filter. It seems very minimal on ours.

can you please explain how can i adjust timer i do not t know how its work

Do you have the link for the return valve you used ? I need to buy the same one

Did you close off one of the outlets for you skimmer to work properly?

Amazing video! Thank ou for your time! Do you need to add any other chemicals or just notmal daily cleaning and changing the sand every couple of months? Thank you

Great video...now that you've had the pump for a few seasons, do you feel the filter is strong enough for this pool size? Would you have gone with the 2100 GPH model instead?

Hi Frank. Anyway you can send me the link for the solar heater.

I just purchased a 15x48 pool, should I get the 10 inch or 12 inch sand pump filter?

Where do you buy the sand?

Why'd you pull the two B lines out the pool? You had a shutoff built into the Y fitting. And why'd you cut out actually changing the fill valve??

I've just installed the same pump yesterday, and I've noticed that If I use the L-shape ring on the output connector, I get leaks. If I remove the ring everything works fine. Is it normal?

I have the Oval Bestway power steel 18 x 9 x 48, the same as yours I think. I’m buying the same pump in 12 inches but is it completely compatible or did you have to change out some of the parts in order to connect it to the pool? Thank you for your help 🙏🏼

Another question my friend, there is no integrated skimmer??? By chance I bought Hayward skimmer kit

great video! Can you please show how you connect the skimmer ?

Cool man I just got the same pump and it came in today. I ordered it from Walmart

Does it come with the sand

Can u help me figure out why I have low water flow when on filter but works great on circulation

Does this need to be grounded like other sand filters?

Great video , wondered if your pool is a saltwater set up.

Multiport valve goes in clockwise order.

hi , how loud is the motor ? in DB . thanks

The number on the motor is HOURS not minutes. Just in case anyone was wondering why it's not turning off....

Where did you connect the skimmer?

Just installed mines today but my water pressure definitely doesn’t look as powerful as yours I have the 10”. Any suggestions. Thank you

I have a small Intex pool (10 ft round, 30 inches deep, 1200 gallons). I'm upgrading from the worthless cartridge filter to their sand filter/pump. I want plenty of GPH but not too much. I plan to also get the skimmer. I'm waffling between Intex's smallest filter pump and the next size up. The smallest is the 8-inch (925 GPH). Next size up is the 10-inch (1200 GPH). The bigger one states the minimum size pool is 2800 gallons which is more than double mine. Should I stick with the smaller pump which matches my pool, or so one step bigger? Would going bigger be too much for my small pool? Thank you.

Thank you for the video, Frank. Does the pump need to be plugged into a GFCI outlet? or is the GFCI shutoff part of the filter?

Does it require chlorine or just salt to run concurrently?

How many gallons does your pool hold ?

Thank you!! This helped a lot!!! How do we keep up with it? How many times do we change sand?

That you for the great video! You convinced me to purchase an Intek Sand Filter Pump and I hope to have it up and running today. Question: Do you remove the long hose and replace the end cap after you are done with the backwash process? How often do you backwash?

I'm just setting up my pool for this summer, I haven't filled the pool above the filter ports yet. Please help!!!

The inside jet part does not want to turn off, any suggestions? I bought the same pump, I just installed the original jet and not the one with the 16in, now I want to swap it out

Leaking near the canisters and filtration system .. How do I shut pool down.This is the system is have INTEX 26679EG QX2600 Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater System for Above

I hope somebody’s listening, but I have a question when you put the water on top of the San before you put the lid on that cylinder that is in the middle of the sand. What if I accidentally got water in there? Well that damage anything

Going to upgrade next month, does the kit include all the pipes/connectors I need? 👍

What’s the GPH on this sand filter

hi can you run that pump with salt? thank you.

Hey Frank - couple questions #1 what was the flow rate of the sand pump you installed in this video? #2 I noticed towards the end of this video that you had an in-line pool water heater(?) If so, can you provide the make & model of the pool heater you use and any comments on price or function or problems. #3 In this video you said "if you have a round pool you should redirect the return water to flow in a circular pattern around the pool. What material (adapter) would you use or recommend that I use to modify the water return? There's an end-cap inside the pool so, I am assuming you will have to remove that cap in order to install some type of elbow pipe/adapter ( BTW - I have a round 18ft x 48in) Thanks for all the advice. I like the easy but detailed way you explain the process. -thanks

Happy 4th of July. I have an issue with my pump. I went through all the steps you provide which was very helpful thanks. However when it’s filtering the pool it stops every other day even with the pump running. I’m wondering if it got something to do with the hoses. Do the hoses have to be slack or as short as possible to the filter. I’m using double hose intake into the filter.
