Thank you for this video.I sat on the ground for over 45 mins reading the instructions that led me nowhere besides a anxiety attack.

It's o.k. we have been through the same things as you on almost every step throughout the process.

@bfitnessjoe 4 года назад

@christyinthecarolinas 4 года назад

Ty for the video. I learn a lot better by seeing and hearing someone rather than reading a manual. I can't comprehend it very well. So this video was a huge life saver for me! Just finished the setup of my 16x32x52! I can't wait to get the salt added tomorrow and get this thing up and running

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

Oh we understand. We were so nervous a year ago and watched a lot of videos too. The main thing to realize is, Your pump is there to filter out the dirt in your pool and so it's important to keep the pump working properly by keeping the pump clean by watching the sight glass and the pressure gage and learn when you need to backwash (get all the Dirt out) and rinse it (clean the sand clear so the water is clear coming out). Always turn the pump off when you turning the dial between selections and / or placing cleaners or vacuums in the pool (anything you have to hook up to one of your inlets or outlets.) Stay tuned for a simple backwash video that may help. Wow I just noticed your pool size ! You are going to be SUPER FIT. EXCITING!

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

Glad it helped! We felt the same way when we first started with the pump. We were so nervous. Watched a ton of videos and so it was important for us to make videos that could help people like we needed in the beginning to take off the anxiety a bit.

@daviddaniel2198 4 года назад

Hello, thank you for the vid. Just realized you posted a new one today. Today I have gotten my 10” Krystal Clear sand filter pump in that I ordered from Walmart. I just ordered A and B hose adaptors for the 1.5” because my Intex 15x48 has 1.25” hoses on it. Just need sand and I’ll be all set as far as getting it fired up! Thank you sir for taking the time to make vids. Hope you enjoyed your day

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

Nice! Yes, you are correct the pool comes with 1.25 and the pump comes with 1.50 hoses. I am so happy for you!!! Let me know if you have any questions. It is a learning process and we are still learning. We have 4 days of rain so no pool time for us 😥

@daviddaniel2198 4 года назад

Mover and Shaker did you guys use an adapter for the 1.5” hoses?

@aliceinchains5243 4 года назад

Just put up my Intex 15x48 and the pump seems weak. I’ve seen a lot of changing to the sand pump. to make things easier I’ll order the A and B hose adapters for the 1.5 line. Seems like you wouldn’t get the full potential with the adapters and seen where people have cut in a larger hole for the 1.5 lines. Wasn’t sure what size pump to get so I’ll follow and get the 10” pump. Specs on my pool shows 4,440 gallons

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

@@aliceinchains5243 when we first ordered our pool it also came with the cartridge filter and we didn't even set it up we put it up for sale and also sold the filters then we got a 2100 gallon per hour pump and that actually did fine but my husband decided he wanted to be bigger better and get more horsepower and get a pump that does more than was necessary at 3,000 gallons per hour and it works well. We never had to attach any additional adapters so I don't think you're going to need anything if you look at our original setup and our current setup that all came out of either the pool or the sand filter boxes. I'm not sure if your pool didn't come with the same part as ours but you can certainly look at our pool and see if you can follow with that. I have some videos where people have cut the 1.5 in hole in order to get the full potential but our hoses the 1.25 hoses aren't really that long and they go straight into the 1.5 hose if you take a look.

@davenone7312 4 года назад

I use the same sand filter but I modified it to use 1.5 inch Hayward brand outlet and a Hayward brand "in the wall" skimmer. Now all my accessories are easy to use and no need for "Intex" brand only. I love the new ability to have so many options and accessories for pools that are not Intex branded! For instance I can use the popular automatic suction type floor cleaners like "Wanda the Whale" etc. The Intex brand connected to the outlet which worked horribly in comparison. Intex uses 1 1/4 inch hoses a lot so I also now have more flow thru the system using the 1 1/2 inch standard pool hoses!

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

Yes, we are at the same stage you were at and understand your point of view completely. We have not gotten to the point where we feel confident enough to make an incision into the pool to make the hole wider.

@MoverandShaker 3 года назад

@@christinas907 If you are referring to the rails going around the pool, when the pool is completely full they are flush with pool wall until the last few inches and then it is about 2 inches from the base to the pool wall where there is a gap. I think all the legs vary slightly even with all the time we spent measuring, balancing and making sure everything was level, I have seen movement in the legs.

The claps dont seem to tighten and the inside attachment doesn't seem correct either, because they're pointed up instead of out into ty he pool.

I am sorry, we are not familiar with Coleman pools and the inside attachment pointing up instead of out? and I am not sure what you saying. When you say the clamps won't tighten, if they are indeed clamps I also don't understand why they would not tighten? Perhaps look again at the Coleman book for guidance or share some photos.

Hi! I just ordered my Intex sand filter yesterday and your video is the best video I have seen on installing my filter so a big Thank You to you!!!!! Just one question, now that you are using this filter, are you still needing to add chemicals or as much chemicals with this filter?

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

Thank you for the compliments on the video. Interesting question - Answer - Nothing changes with regards to adding chemicals to your pool when you upgrade your filter to a pump that pushes more Gallons per hour. The pump is fantastic! unfortunately you still need to add chemicals to keep the water balanced. We really were stressed out because we could never get it balanced perfectly ever. We purchased so many items, Alkalinity increaser, PH up, PH down, Chlorine tabs, Shock, etc... on and on and on. We were so tired of it. We just switched to a SaltWater System Chlorinator and have completed 7 days and have not had to add one single thing because everytime we test our pool water everything is in the o.k. range and we are estastic. We have a saltwater pool now. It may be something you want to look into in the future to avoid chemicals being adding constantly. It was intimidating at first but as all things you sometimes look back and laugh and think that wasn't that hard at all! Herre is our Saltwater video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yU6TMbsclco.html The chlorinator makes it's own chlorine.

we just purchased the intex 16 inch sand filter and pump for our bestway deluxe series 20 ft round pool, we have not connected the filter and pump that came with it yet, so my question is do the piece that connect to the pool inlet and outlet holes work with this intex pump or are we going to have to purchase something else to work with it? just trying to be prepared for when the pump arrives?

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

I am not familiar with any pool brand with the exception of our INTEX one but the Intex Pump comes with the 1.5" hoses for sure. Now the two 1.25" hoses on the right came with the pool and fit exactly on the 2nd and 3rd outlets with hose clamps. that were manufactured into the pool . I have seen online it is VERY Common that you may need adapters that convert 1.5" to 1.25" hoses or outlets or vice versa. It seems everyones pool and pump are configured a little differently depending on your equipment and pool brands but I can tell you these simple hose adapters are on Amazon and can be purchased quickly or go right up the street to your local pool company for them. I have a bunch them myself that I preordered just in case (sames as you are thinking now) and I never needed them but you're pool is different so I don't want to advise you. What I suggest you do is look at the Parts reference guide inside the online manual on the Intex website for the pump you purchased and then look at the parts reference guide on the Best way deluxe pool guide parts specifically for size of hoses and outlets, etc.. and you will know ahead of time. I don't think you will need any extra hoses. Just possibly if any adapters and they are cheap. I would also say look at some bestway videos that have an intex pump combo and look for those SMALL hoses and look for adapters on them. I am guessing if anything you would need 1.5" to 1.25" or 1.25 to 1.5" but no more than probably 2 to 3. Sorry I couldn't be more help but I think some videos may render some clues if you look closely. If you look at those PLUNGER Valves on our pool left and right those allow you to stop and start water flow and the right side allows you to also connect small 1.25 hoses into.

@colegunter9133 4 года назад

Did you need to replace the two 1.25 intake hoses that came with the pool when you upgraded the pump. The owner’s manual says they can only handle 2150 gph but I noticed you didn’t change them. Are they working just fine. Do I need to change those hoses to the 1.5?

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

Now that is an interesting point you just made. We haven't had problems of any sort with the 1.25 intake hoses at all, and I did not know that the owners manual indicated that at all. I will alert my husband to that detail you provided but we realize you have to cut the holes in order to upgrade to the 1.5" and that would be the only reason we haven't done that.

If you don't mind me butting in. It should not be a problem as long as the 1.25" hoses are for the intake of the pump. Both hoses eventually convert into a 1.5" to the pump. If you'd had only one hose as the source, then I would think the upgrade to a 1.5" would be a benefit.

Your video was so helpful! I just set up my pool a few days ago and am upgrading the smaller cartridge filter to a sand pump. I am waiting on the adapters because the hoses / outlets in the pool are too small for the sand filter connections. Have you ever swapped out the entire pump when the pool is full? I'm wondering if I need to drain the pool a bit or if i just have to move fast when swapping out the hoses?

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

Thanks for liking the video. We also were having trouble in the beginning and relied on videos to help us through. No we have never swapped the pump when the pool is full. We have only drained the pool below the inlet/outlets disconnected the pump for the winter, however, you don't have too drain it though If you have the two isolation valves you just turn the on/off and disconnect the hoses for the switch if your set up is the same as ours. Yes we also sold our cartridge filter and also the left over filters. And we sold our original pump that we had installed last summer because for some reason my husband wanted a bigger and better one. ;)

@EmilyLucille523 3 года назад

Love your suggestion of getting extra tubes for the backwash. Where do you get the connector to connect the extra hoses together? I have 2 extras tubes but having trouble finding the appropriate piece so they screw on on each end.

@MoverandShaker 3 года назад

Those hoses you see in this video to do the backwash came from our Intex Pool Cleaner. They give you 6 hoses for up to a 22' ft pool. We had some we didn't use because our pool is 18' so that is where they came from. There is a 59" hose available on Amazon that might work for you. amzn.to/3AU9PGs NOw we do this instead: We use The Aqua EZ hose from Lowes. It is 50' long and I ended up with is actually a 2" hose and I couldn't get it over the threads so I purchased an Intex valve pictured here: amzn.to/3k2HLe1 which may be cheaper on eBay you might want to check first before purchasing and then I use a regular metal hose clamp to attach the 2 inch hose to this adapter. It works like a charm and doesn't leak. I very rarely have to backwash. When you do, don't forget afterwards to rinse.

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

I am not sure, however - make sure all valves are open where the hoses go into the pool that are inlets #1 and#2 on the right side of the pool. On the second inlet (the middle one) under the screw on cover we have a small rubber black piece that came with the pump it looks like a black hat. We have that piece on top of the interior portion of the pool and then the screw on cover is on top of that. I hope I haven't confused you.

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

As far as a bubbles coming into your pool from the outlet on the outside of the pool where the plunger valve is, is the dark gray cap not completely pushed down? As far as the air bubble that you described in your pump filter basket there's always at least a small air bubble at the very top of the pump filter basket right under the little cap. Just make sure all your connections are tight and that no air is getting in anywhere, all your inlets, all your hoses, etc....

Should I change to the new sand and salt system to get the green out or use the old system to get most of the green out and then switch?

@MoverandShaker Год назад

Use the old system to get the green out before hooking up the new one most definitely. We decided after a couple of years to empty the sand out of ours and then add new sand. It's going to be scary not to get any in the center. We're gonna tape the hole off real tight.

Yes, if you take the middle inlet and put the black looking plastic piece (that looks like a small hat) Put that on top of the inlet (inside of the pool) and put the plastic cover back on. You should see a difference. Also on the outlet where all the water pushes out, we found out recently that if you slight lift the black cap on the valve it pushes even more water out into the pool.

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

the collection basket is supposed to be filled with water but occasionally you have to burp it so turn your pump off and then unscrew the cap on the filter basket until you see water flowing out of it in order to release the air but yes it is normal for it to be filled up with water and occasionally you'll see debris in there like pine straw or leaves. p.s. we barely and /or rarely have to backwash. We always vacuum in Filter mode. We use a manual vacuum because we prefer to pinpoint debris and not waste all day waiting for the vacuum to roll around and pick stuff up.

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

@@SuzyElzaharOfficial I can give you personal advice based on our experience using chemicals but we just switched to a salt water system and haven't had to add a single chemical period in almost three weeks and we are loving it. The reason we switched is because we could NEVER Get our pool properly balanced and we were ALWAYS buying something that needed to be added. PH up, PH down, alkalinity increaser, Calcium Hardness, shock etc.. It gets really old Not knowing for sure what to do and that is why we moved to salt water. We just have to take extra care of our pool and rinse it off good everyday to keep the salt off the metal. Now, basically, for the sand filter...watch your gauge, when it gets closer to the yellow area, it's time to backwash. Sometimes we simply backwash to get rid of rain water that has filled up too much in our pool. Some folks use waste but you lose water too fast that way. We just put it on backwash and let the water leave the pool. You won't need to backwash that often, I think we do it maybe twice a month if that. Feel free to ask any questions anytime.

@MoverandShaker 4 года назад

I just answered this question as best as I could earlier this evening so I will copy my answer to you but a lot of INTEX users have the same issue for our new pumps including us. It's not that bad though for us, barely noticeable and it rarely happens. Every once in awhile our pump spits out a light amount of sand on start up as well however the area is very small over by the discharge side of the pool and no where else. I have had a couple of other Intex pump users describe the same thing. We just vacuum it up with our Deluxe Maintenance Vac. Our pump was brand new also this spring when it did this and it's only done it once or twice since setting it up in May. I know this can happen after backwashing and I have also heard folks indicate that the some sand is too fine and will do that. It could also mean there was a slight amount of sand above what was needed. I can't say for sure why it happens. It has not happened on a regular basis so it does not happen too often here. In terms of resolving it, try running the filter on Rinse, then Backwash, this will hopefully clear out any smaller particles that are getting through if it persists, I would consult directly with Intex on that by calling their techical assistance /customer line. I think we all need to find out is it too much sand a possibility even though we followed their guidance or is it an order of things when backwashing, etc..

@MoverandShaker 3 года назад

Your pump may be too large or the sand level too high in the filter. When the filter is backwashing the water flow can cause the sand to rise high enough and overflow into the standpipe, which will allow the sand back into the pool. I would ask your nearest pool store. They are always very eager to help pool owners with technical issues they have because they are the experts on equipment compatibility depending on your pool size.

As far as your filter pump. When backwashing make sure your sight glass is clear before you stop backwashing. Then you turn off your pump then you put it on the rinse cycle and then you flush with the rinse cycle until the sight glass is clear then you would turn off your pump again before putting it back on filter.
