Good So Far - But Durability Is To Be Seen
I bought this for an above ground grey prism 15'x48" pool. Quality is good. Assembly is decent. I'd recommend to read the instructions. I did have to build a platform as its home base. I do recommend to secure the tank base with the pre-filter housing. The pre-filter housing is top heavy. I didn't anticipate that so I propped it up with pavers and pieces of plywood. The instructions mention it, but as a law in other countries, not as an issue with the pre-filter housing. I'd recommend to have an extra hose for the backwash connection. This is my first year. Talk to me in 2 more years.

Failed after 2 months
I purchased this item from Target online on May 31, 2025. Last week, I noticed that the pump was running but the water wasn't flowing through the hoses, neither intake nor output. I performed all troubleshooting tasks listed in the manual, but nothing worked to fix the issue. I'm going to contact the seller, Spreetail, to see what can be done to resolve this issue. I was really excited to upgrade my pool filter system but now I'm very disappointed. What a waste of $150.

Excellent Pump Upgrade
Purchased this upgraded sand filter pump for our new Intex 14'x42" pool. Now the skimmer works and the solar fountain works! The water circulation is about double what we had with the pump that came included with the pool. The timer function works great as well.

Excellent filter and chlorinater!
Sand filter and salt water is the way to go! Third year using this and would never go back to chlorine and other filtration systems. It’s a bit tricky to set up and learn…but once you do it’s straight forward. If you don’t have an item pool, you will need the adapters. Also, you do need to shock your pool once a week. Just follow the instructions on maintenance and adding the appropriate amount of salts

Thank you for your detailed review! We’re thrilled you’ve enjoyed the filter and chlorinator for three years. Your tips on setup and maintenance will surely help other pool owners.

It says it a 0.30 hp rated 2100 gph but if you look up the flow rate chart 0.30 gph is 700 gph but the side of the pump says it 0.24 hp so something is not adding up

Extremely poor-quality unit that fails to last.
2 seasons is all I got out of the unit before it needed a bunch of replacement parts and said replacement parts end up costing more than replacing the entire thing. Problems I have encountered so far this season: Error code 92, high salt, even with zero salt in the water. Pump timer no longer advances, so even setting pump to 1 hour means it will stay on forever until I turn it off. At least the filter housing hasn't cracked, yet. I'm sure that would be the next thing to happen if the unit wasn't going into the trash. At least when I purchased it the price was proper and sub 150 dollars, it's worth about 50 max.

I wouldn't know
It came missing two pieces. I emailed intex support over one month ago with zero response.

No rinse setting
This filter does not have a rinse setting-this means that after a backwash, (with no option to rinse) sediment from the sand flows back into your pool. To avoid this, we have to remove the that returns the water back into the pool and let the sediment out- it works but it’s a big hassle. Another issue is the drain cap (to remove for a backwash) is made of a cheap material and actually cracked after less than 2 months of use. This filter also includes cheap, plastic hose clamps that will break. With these inconveniences, the filter runs well and my water has been clean. I would never again purchase a sand filter that does not offer a rinse setting. Next time, I will do more research before making a purchase.

Leaking after 1 season
Worked great for one season. This season it started leaking really bad.

It works fine.
I needed a saltwater pump and I didn't get that so had to change to chlorine which I am not happy about. You really need people that are better at English.

Stopped after 90 Days!
This was great for the first 90 days. Of course after it was not returnable it would just completely stop working! We are so devastated because we paid close to $500 for this and now its marked down to $299. You would think a pump like this would last longer than 90 days.

Does not include all parts needed
We were so excited to get a sand filter for our Intex pool. When I unboxed this filter I realized that it did not include all the parts necessary to hook it up to our pool. There was a tiny picture on the box indicating that a few key parts were "sold separately" so they weren't missing, just not included. Before I decided to return it, I looked on the Intex website to see how much all the additional parts would cost and most were out of stock. Very disappointed in Intex for selling something so incomplete.

Much better than stock pumps
Like many folks I purchased this pump to replace the weak pump that comes with most above ground pools because they just can't do the job. The difference in filtration, water movement, and power is obvious. The instructions are a bit vague, but eventually it comes together. I paired this pump with a hayward skimmer, and a auto pool cleaner.
