I was way disappointed in the filter that came with my pool as it was horribly underpowered last year. We had trouble finding a replacement last year during the season and I stumbled upon this one. It works GREAT. Upon ordering, I received it in about four days. It turned over the pool in no time and the water was sparkling with just a half day's run time. The previous filter had been on for two days at a clip and would not handle the pool. The only problem I had with this pump is the picture is not accurate. The picture shows a larger pump with the medium canister separate from the pump; that was a big selling point for me. This is a single canister with the pump inside and under the filter medium. I would have ponied up the extra $30 for the larger pump had I known. I was UPSET upon receiving it, as I felt I had been duped, but its performance has been exceptional. I would still buy the larger one for my pool (~14'round x 33" deep) if only to save on the operating costs. Other than that however no complaints!

Far above the cheesy, cheap, wimpy filter pump that comes with the Intex above ground pool...this 1000 gallon pump will make you think you have a shooting spring bursting from the backyard! It is WELL worth the economy and performance you get from it. The water literally shoots out of the pump hoses and it does its job with maximum efficiency. I also recommend the seller I bought from--who understands that when you're buying a pool pump, you need it YESTERDAY. The shipping was immediate, and the product is first rate. DO buy.

I read many reviews on these intex pumps, and the problem that seems to plague them is a cheaply made plastic impeller that moves (pumps) the water. So listen up folks... if you buy a replacement pump, or even buy a pool set for the first time, BEFORE you even use the pump for the first time, take it apart until you can remove the impeller. This is pretty simple requiring only about 4 or 5 screws be removed... just make sure you pay attention to how it comes apart (especially the washers around the impeller). Then go down to walmart, home depot, lowes, or any autoparts store and buy some EPOXY. This should be two different liquids (or gels) that come in two different tubes that you must mix together. This stuff is SUPER STRONG, and most are rated for 2,500 to 3,500 lbs per square inch of strength... like steel almost. So what your going to do is get a small paint brush, and "paint" the impeller with epoxy, making a SUPER STRONG coat over the cheap plastic. Just make sure you don't get any on the inside of the hole in the center of the impeller where it slides onto the metal rod. Allow it 24 hours to dry (depending on what type of epoxy you use), and then reassemble the pump. I guarantee this will save you money and headaches in the long run. Also if any other plastic parts break on the pump, you can use this epoxy to fix/repair/strengthen them as well.

The filter pump that came with our Intex Easy Set pool only survived 2 months in the Arizona heat.I purchased this new pump after researching prices and brands online and I'm very happy with the purchase. This pump is MUCH more powerful than the one that came with the pool. The water has been crystal clear and the chemicals perfectly balanced ever since I installed it. It was easy to install, and came with all the necessary parts (came with hoses, fixtures, etc). The price was much lower at Amazon than other places I looked and the pump arrived only 24 hrs after purchase. Excellent product and service overall. Very pleased.

This is a great pump - much better than the one the pool came with. We are pleased with this purchase.

This pump really works hard. Does a great job without too much noise. It was easy to install to my 12x3 Intex pool. The rigged top is much easier to remove than my previous pump. I simply love it. 5 stars

The pump arrived quickly and was brand new and included the manuals and hoses. It worked great for the remainder of the season, but I didn't use it very long because our summer was ending. I read some reviews where this pump didn't last a long time, but I'm hoping this pump will last a few years. The item description did not say the hoses were included, but it should because I almost didn't order this pump because I was wondering if the hoses were included.

This pump was an exact replacement for the pump that came with my pool, and has worked perfectly since being installed several weeks ago. It comes with all of the needed hoses, clamps, etc.

Received pump in great timely manner. IT worked LESS than 30 days and can not get CMS to respond to my emails.

I bought this as a replacment for the one that came with our pool, which was a 750 gal/hour. Our pool used to stay green, no matter how many chemicals I used. This year all I have had to use was a tablet. It's made a big difference. Just a word of warning, I bought it to go with our Summer Escape pool. The hoses were smaller than the hose so we had to improvise.
