Install Flash Player Bought this for our soft sided intex pool (10ft by 30in) because the pump that came with it was absolutely worthless. Was constantly adding chemicals after chemicals and the pump was doing a poor job of filtering the water. Said F it and since we will be using this intex pool for as many summers as we can get out of it, we need to upgrade the pump. Got this and it was pretty dang easy to swap the pumps. Simply take a few tubes away and add a few. That was really about it. As another reviewer mentioned (thank god) if you have a smaller intex pool you will likely need a pair of intex 1.25" to 1.5" hose adapters since the hoses for this pump are bigger. You will only need these adapters I mentioned if you are upgrading from a low flow pump system (1000 GPH or smaller) to a larger pump system (1500 GPH or larger). This pump is a HUGE upgrade quality wise and from how many GPH our old pump filtered (i think it was 220 GPH). This one kinda makes our pool look like a little jacuzzi when it's running but I love it lol. Has needed a new filter about every 2 weeks which is what I expected. Much clearer water, less chemicals to add to keep the levels normal. Definitely a good buy.

Install Flash Player Bought this to replace my 1000 GPH pump that came with my 15 x 42" intex pool. I also bought the 1.5-1.25" adapters and that's all I needed. This thing moves some serious water. It's super quiet. A must have for any intex pool. The small pumps are junk. It came with the hoses and a new outlet that I did not end up using. But if you buy the adapters it should hook up super easy. You can see them connected to the t fitting and right at the pool inlet in the video.

Magnificent power!
We have had a saltwater intex above ground pool for 7 summers now. We upgraded our pump from 1500GPH to this 2500GPH pump and let me tell you it is MAGNIFICENT! Not only is it powerful but it's quite. Almost a whisper compared to our smaller unit. VERY PLEASE!

UPGRADING YOUR PUMP? Read this first!
We have an Intex 12x30 metal frame pool. The pump that came with the pool pumps 533 gph which is very weak. I was constantly having to clean the pool. After doing a lot of research on upgrading our pump I decided to go with the 2500 gph pump. I placed my order for this pump on 6/1/15 and I received it the next day! I was shocked it arrived so fast. I opened the box to ensure all parts were there. I was under the impression that the plunger valves were included since I had read previous reviews and questions from people who did get the plunger valves. My box did not have them and when I contacted the seller they told me to call Intex. Intex said that the plunger valves come with the pool kit. I asked how much they cost and she said $7 but they are on back order and they don't know when they will come in. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to use my pump without these valves. After additional research I found that all I needed to do was get two adaptors from Intex. The pool hose fittings are 1.25 and this larger pump has 1.5 hose fittings so I ordered two adaptors off of Intex's website (part # 10722). The cost of shipping was more than the two adaptors but the total price was still half of what I was finding elsewhere. I ordered my adaptors on Tuesday 6/2/15, selected ground shipping and received them Thursday 6/11/15. I figured it would take a few days because it was coming from California. Plunger valves are not necessary but are helpful when it comes to shutting the water off so you can perform maintenance on the pump. I had no issues connecting the new pump using these adaptors. I pointed the water flow to the side to create a cyclone effect. It is so strong compared to the old/ weak pump. I love that there is a timer because I have forgotten to turn our pump off several times in the past. Overall I am very pleased. I highly recommend this pump and seller. Hope this helps.

Must have for Stock Tank Pool
Compared to the smaller pumps, this was a breeze to set up. Literally screwed in the two ends, put a filter in, and plugged it in. When it filled up, we let the air out using the top valve, and that was it. I'm not sure what 2500GPH is supposed to feel like, but it is definitely much stronger than the old 700GPH we had. To install this pump on our stock tank, we ordered some parts (plunge valves, gaskets, outlet) from Amazon and some from the Intex website directly (might be cheaper than some 3rd party vendors...check pricing! Shipping was fine). Drilled 2 holes, assembled parts, filled pool (and checked for leaks), and the whole system works great. We ordered a 6 pack of filters on here as well. They haven't last that long for us (2-3 weeks) since the pool has been directly under an oak tree in pollen season, without a cover (we're begging for it, right?), but they should start lasting a bit longer in the summertime. Note - Aside from a standard pool net/scoop, we also got the Ryobi pool vac. Works great for a quick cleaning!

Did not need any extra parts
I have a 16 by 42 best way pool. The pump that came with didn't move any amount of water and the pool was developing mold. Ordered on a Sunday and was at my door Tuesday morning. Only complaint is that I ordered all the extra special parts people swore I needed. Wrong- wrong wrong. It would of hooked up fine needing nothing! I will send back the connecting valves but I like the open close valve so when I change the filter I can cut off the water supply and not create a huge mess and loss of water.

I should have purchased this pump a year ago.
Received this pump today and got it hooked up. I found out I did not need the adapters that I was led to believe I needed. (fortunately I was able to cancel those before they even shipped) The smaller hoses will slip over the end of the plunger valves allowing the clean hook up from new pump to old hoses. Anyway, this pump is awesome. The older stock 1,000gph pump was pathetic. Took me about an hour to vacuum my 14 foot pool. This new pump had me finished in about 10 minutes. And the increased water movement already helped clean the pool. Well worth the money. I would (and will) recommend this pump to my friends with pools, regardless of the size.

BEST INTEX CARTRIDGE FILTER PERIOD
This filter is by far the best cartridge and prolly even better then the sand filter systems they sell considering it does the same flow rate as the big 16 inch .75 hp pump. I wish intex would dump all their other small A cartridge series filters and just up the price a bit on all their pools and include this filter system instead! It runs the skimmer great and the intex pool vac great at same time and circulates the water much more efficiently! This filter is a must have for the 15/18 ft round pools or bigger don’t even waste your time with the included small a 1500gph. Also keep in mind the ratings on these pumps are not system ratings. So the 1500ghp is only the pumps rating meaning only gets like 900-1100 gph in the system tubes and pool. The 2500 does about sale 1900-2100 depending how. Lean your filter is.

Do it! It's a wonderful & powerful pump.
If your thinking about upgrading to this pump or you need a new one and your debating this one or the grade level lower one then spend the extra 20.00 and get this one. We turned our old pump on and it was dead so I was going back and forth on getting this one or the original one that's 50.00. I'm so glad I upgraded, not only is this pump much stronger, it is much quieter. also, it came it's a filter so that was a great suprise. I opened my pool with lots of dust, and algae. (We live on a gravel road) and within 4 hours my 8,000 gallon pool was crystal clean. My old pump never managed to get all the dust out. This is a scenario where you definitely get what you pay for. Spend that extra 20.00 and upgrade. You won't be sorry. Photo is from when I first opened my pool and my water was dirty FYI.

Buy this pump if you have even a 14 or 15 ft x 48 trust me...
How I wish I had bought this the same time I bought the pool...it is only a 14 x48 pool...but the one that came with was tiny useless piece of junk...and I got an alge breakout that I could not get rid of so after hours of research and no telling how many dollars I came to the conclusion that without proper circulation I was wasting my time and money so I bought the 1500 gph...which was somewhat better ...but still wasn't enough...and the 2500 was only 20.00 more ...as one reviewer said may be overkill ...still had the alge problem...the pump still did no circulate well...so finally I sent the 1500 back and bought the 2500....Perfect...is not over kill at all...love the timer ...uses size B filters ..got 2 of the unicel..rinse one use one...will last more than a season...no more cases of junk paper ones...and also got the shutoff valves...what a difference...perfect clear pool ...shutoff valves a dream when changing filter...spend 20.00 more and buy this pump...you owe it to yourself..
