1.0 out of 5 stars design flaw, July 7, 2008

This review is from: Intex 56635E 1,500-Gallon Filter Pump (Toy)

this pump came with my Intex inflatable ring pool (18x48) I bought in 2007. The pump action is plenty strong for taking care of business with a pool this size. However, the impeller design leaves much to be desired. The impeller is attached to a plastic covered magnet which spins to create the pump action. After a year (about 4 months of use where I live) the plastic cover over the magnet broke and the magnet is beginning to rust out. It still works at an impaired level, and it makes a lot of noise. I bought this on June 23, 2007. I called Intex on July 7 2008 - 2 weeks out of warranty, and the Intex rep said "there is nothing we can do for you." I asked about a replacement impeller, he said they dont sell just the impeller (which is rediculous, as they break all the time). I asked if they could cover me under the warranty as it's only been a couple weeks outside of the year. He said "we can't do that." So now I'm stuck having to shell out for a new pump once the rest of the plastic dislodges from the impeller. Save your money. Intex pools are great, but buy a different brand name pump to service the pool if you can. These pumps are not built to last. As for Intex customer support, their policy is 1 year and I can't argue with them, though not working with a customer when their product is only 2 weeks out of warranty is pretty pathetic.

This pump is great!! I used it in a 12'x30" Easy Set pool and it kept my pool crystal clear this summer. It comes with the hoses. I also bought the hose adapters to adapt my skimmer and return valve and they fit perfectly. Definitely an improvement from the standard pump they give you with the pool. That pump broke within two weeks of use and never really had any suction. If you are looking to upgrade your filter I would recommend you buy this one.

This review is from: Intex 56635E 1,500-Gallon Filter Pump (Toy)

I bought the 18' pool Mar 07. I am on my third pump (under warranty) as the impellers kept breaking the blades (likely because of the poor filter design). No way to just replace the impeller so now my THIRD pump impeller blades went. On some sites you can see that for 2008 they have a new impeller design (probably cost too much replacing warranty broken impellers). I am upgrading to 2500 or 4000 gph pump. Still researching but want to HIGHLY discourage buying any of the 635 pumps, definitely if they are not the "new" impeller design for 2008 and even then Im not going to buy one!
