If you have an above ground pool you need this. This is our third summer with our pool and our first summer with this filter. It was so hard to maintain the pool in the past with the A/C filters that you remove and rinse. It would take a week(s) to make a green pool clean and clear. This sand filter works so well and not only does the water flow faster it is also a more powerful stream. The filter doesn’t take up much space and is very easy to use. We hadn’t swam in the pool all week and I forgot to add a new chlorine tab so it was starting to turn green. I put in chlorine, algaecide and clarifier and the filter had it clear in less than two days. Very impressed with the quality and price. It didn’t cost much more than it would have cost to replace the old tiny filter that came with the pool. I have faith it will last for many years! Review: Great upgrade from the included Filter Pump (Intex 15x42 Round Pool) - I bought and put up a Intex 15x42 Round Pool last weekend that came with a smaller 1000 GPH paper filter pump. A few years ago I had a slightly smaller pool and remembered I needed to get some extra paper filters. But while looking for them I stumbled on this larger Sand Filter, so I decided to upgrade. So no more checking, cleaning, or replacing paper filters - YAY ME! It came with the pump, two 1.5 hoses and new outlet. I haven't used the new outlet, perhaps later when I need to drain the pool - since I have to cut out the current one (there are YouTubes on this and seems simple - other than cutting on your pool!). In case you are wondering, yes you need to buy a bag of pool pump sand. I bought Mystic White II Swimming Pool Filter Sand - 50lb Bag here on desertcart. Since my pool came with the smaller 1.25 connections I needed adapters. Intex sells these here on desertcart. INTEX 1.25" to 1.5" Type B Hose Adapters for Pumps. I also bought Intex shutoff values, which seemed like a good idea and was. Though it isn't actually required to get the pump working (like the adapters are if you have 1.25 connections). Also here on desertcart. Intex Above Ground Plunger Valves So while I just installed it, I love it! Really pushes the water too. If it dies on me or some other calamity happens with the setup, I'll be sure to update my review. ## Features - ✔ EXCELLENT FILTRATION – SX1500 provides excellent water filtration with the 6-function valve that allows you to filter, backwash, rinse, re-circulate, drain and close the system. - ✔ 24 HOUR TIMER – The sand pool pump has a built-in 24-hour timer with 2 to 12 hour pre-set cycles, providing easy scheduling and a hassle-free experience with automatic operation. - ✔ EASY INSTALLATION – Just hook up hoses and plug in!

I will not be buying one at that price. I bought the 3000 GPH sand filter for $130 a few years ago and was curious what the replacement cost would be. I feel sorry for those that are getting reamed by these prices. **Q: Would there be a problem using it on a 1900 gallon pool?** A: No. A little overkill but you wouldn't have to run it very long each day, It can be set to run from 1 hour to 12 hours a day or can be run constantly or manually on and off. And you would have the sand filtering which is very nice. **Q: Will the 10in be ok for a 18x48 summer waves pool?** A: No I had a 10" for my pool that size that's why I upgraded to 16" and it is perfect! **Q: I have a summer waves 17 foot pool will this sand filter hook up correctly are is there any adapters pieces needed?. The hose is 1 and a half inches.** A: If you pool has 1.5” hoses it should work without any problems. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must Have *by J***M on August 10, 2025* I don’t usually write reviews but felt this warranted one.
