This review is from: Krystal Klear Wet Set 1500 Gallon Intex Pool Filter Pump
First of all, this "toy" does not exhibit a "fun" value, nor does it have an "educational" value, but I couldn't post this review without giving it a star rating...LOL.
I have this pump that came with my easy-set, metal-frame pool. It works great, but not without other regular maintanence tasks that is required to keep your pool clean and healthy. Sounds like the previous reviewers expect the filter to work on its own, continuously, like with an in-ground pool. This is not the case. As for the one previous reviewer that says it doesn't filter sediment, that's because you need to use the vacuum. The vacuum (at least with my pool) had a separate canister, whereby you insert a tighly-woven mesh bag, and connect the hoses to the filter and vacuum the pool bottom. I do this every 2-3 days, depending on pool usage. Plus, it's very helpful to have a tub of clean water for pool users to rinse their feet before climbing the ladder to enter the pool. This had cut down the sediment problem immensely. At any rate, after a thorough vacuuming of the pool bottom, I find that the mesh bag is loaded with sediment and other stuff. After vacuuming, I switch the vacuum canister with the skimmer piece and let the filter run 6-8 hours (overnight works well for me). Another problem that may inhibit the filter's function for the previous reviewers is you cannot leave the filter connected to the pool hoses 24/7. The filter cartridge stays submerged and will eventually mold - greatly reducing the filtering rate and getting yucky water slowly filtering back into the pool when you do turn the filter pump on. This happened with another friend of mine and once he started disconnecting hoses and changing the canisters more frequently, the problem stopped. You need to close the plunger valves, disconnect the hose from the filter (I leave the other end attached to the plungers)and open the side valve on the filter to fully drain the water. From there, I check the status of the filter cartridge -- sometimes it can last 2-3 filtering runs (when I leave it on over night) and other times, it needs immediate replacing. During heavy usage months, I go through a least 1-2 cartridges a week. Also, by disconnecting the hose from the filter itself, you can check the outside connection point. Sometimes I find grass blades (that slithered through the skimmer) trapped and blocking the intake point to the filter. However, this is rare. I also put chlorine shock through my skimmer, while the filter is on, once a week. This helps to keep the filter mechanisms cleaned, too. Having a pool is lots of fun for my family and their friends, that come over...but, with the fun, comes responsibility. Maintaining proper PH/chlorine levels is an absolute must. High PH reading with not only affect the clarity of your water and the comfort of your swimmers, but the acidic reading (PH 7.8 and higher) will wear out the filter as the acid water goes through. Invest in a 3-way pool kit (about $10) and check the PH and chlorine daily. This will help prolong the life of your pool and the filter. Once the pool is stabilized (the PH and Chlorine levels are harmonized), this routine maintanence doesn't take long. Frequent and proper filtering, vacuuming, chlorine (some people use the floating duck to slowly dissolve chlorine daily...for me, I do a weekly shock treatment instead without problems) will keep everyone happy. If you are not diligent with the pool upkeep, then you will have problems with algae, etc... and will end up wasting water from having to drain it and start over. Good luck!

This review is from: Krystal Klear Wet Set 1500 Gallon Intex Pool Filter Pump
I purchased this pump as a replacement for our Intex pool that we have had for the past 3 years. It is the recommended replacement pump but unfortunately Intex has changed the design of their pools since ours was made.
I have rigged it to be used but was unable to attach it according to the instructions because the sides of our pool do NOT have the reinforced holes. The older pools had a short black tubing that slid into the white hoses. I just wanted to warn others of the mistake that I made by assuming that no major design changes had occurred with the Intex 16' pools.

This review is from: Krystal Klear Wet Set 1500 Gallon Intex Pool Filter Pump
This was exactly how online purchases should go. Good communication from the seller, quick and inexpensive shipping and a correct order delivered to my door. Very pleased with the pump as it was the perfect replacement model for ours that went bad. We have been enjoying the summer in the pool almost every day. Thanks!
