XtremepowerUS 13" Sand Filter 3/4HP Pool Pump 2,400 GPH for Above Ground Swimming Pool Set Multi-Port Valve Up To 10,000 Gallons, 1-1/4"NPT

As someone who understands the importance of crystal-clear pool water, especially with the warm summer here in Boaz, AL, a reliable filter pump is absolutely essential. I recently upgraded to the XtremePowerUS 13-inch sand filter pump, and overall, it's been a great addition to my pool setup.Review: XtremePowerUS 13-inch Sand Filter Pump – A Powerful Cleaner, Just Needs a Window to the WorldKeeping an above-ground pool pristine can be a chore, but the right equipment makes all the difference. My new XtremePowerUS 13-inch sand filter pump has proven to be a workhorse, making pool maintenance significantly easier.Quality & Performance: A Clean MachineFirst off, the overall quality of this pump is commendable. It feels solidly built, and the components appear durable enough to withstand the demands of continuous pool filtration. The pump is adequately powered for its size, effectively circulating the water and pushing it through the sand media. It works exactly as it should, consistently keeping my pool water nice and clean. Gone are the days of cloudy water and visible debris; this filter system maintains a clarity that makes swimming much more inviting. For the performance it delivers, the price was good, offering excellent value compared to other options on the market.Shipping & Setup: Swift and SimpleThe purchasing experience was also top-notch. The shipping was fast, getting the pump to my doorstep in Guntersville quicker than expected. This meant less downtime for my pool and more time for enjoyment. Setup was straightforward, and I had it up and running without any major hiccups, which is always a relief when dealing with new pool equipment.The One Missing Piece: No Site GlassMy only significant critique, and it's one that impacts convenience more than core performance, is the lack of a dedicated site glass to know when to backwash. For those unfamiliar, a site glass (or sight glass) is a small, clear window usually located on the multiport valve of a sand filter. It allows you to visually monitor the color of the backwash water. When the water turns clear, you know the sand is clean and you can stop the backwash cycle.Without this feature, I'm left guessing a bit. While I rely on the pressure gauge (backwashing when the pressure rises about 8-10 PSI above its clean reading) and a rough estimate of time, a visual confirmation would be incredibly helpful. It would prevent over-backwashing (saving water) or under-backwashing (ensuring optimal filtration). It's a small detail that makes a big difference in efficient maintenance.Final Verdict:Despite the absence of a site glass, the XtremePowerUS 13-inch sand filter pump is an excellent choice for maintaining a clean and clear above-ground pool. Its good quality, effective cleaning power, and competitive price, coupled with fast shipping, make it a highly recommended product. If you're comfortable relying on your pressure gauge and a bit of a routine for backwashing, this pump will serve you very well and keep your pool sparkling clean all season long. It's a solid 5 out of 5 stars for its performance and value!

Excellent water pomp filter!I had the original one that my above ground pool brings and it wasn’t doing the job the way it should. After installing this one, I noticed the difference within approximately 2 hours. I wish I would’ve purchased it sooner. Definitely 5 stars! Totally recommended. The instructions on the manual are not great at all. However, there is an excellent video of how to assemble it on youtube that explains step by step on how you assemble it your self. The cord isn’t long enough so I had to purchase an 25ft outdoor extension cord with the correct power requirements at HomeDepot. For that I had to search on google the following: “can an extension cord be plugged in anxtremepowerus 13 maximum” and after typing that in, all the information on purchasing the correct extension cord came out. Also I purchased an additional protection for the water pump & the extension cord when connected together, although it says is for outdoor. The item is a small box that’s called “ Twist and seal cord protection” also at homedepot fot $5.95. Overall this has been a great purchase. Don’t forget to watch the youtube video if you want to assemble it correctly like i did.

Not impressed - very quiet when running & seems to have a good flow rate coming back into the pool, but it is not filtering as well as my other pool pump. Been running it 24 hrs for almost 2 weeks with frequent backwashes/rinses with no noticeable clearing of the water. This filter does not have the "spokes" like my old one - not sure if that is the issue. I get more sediments and gunk using my Pool Blaster Max vacuum!Update: I cleared my tank of the mystic white sand and tried my go-to brand of pool sand with no noticeable difference in water clarity. Water tests show everything in the correct range. Have messaged the company for ideas to troubleshoot besides those on their website or in their manual.Update 2: No response from the company. Was able to connect the old sand tank (with the laterals) to the new pump today - same HP as the old pymp. Pool is clearing nicely with noticeable difference in only 6 hours!

Last year we bought a Coleman Power Steel 16’ x 10’ x 42” Oval Above Ground Pool. I spent more time cleaning, balancing, and shocking the pool than actually swimming in it, all because of the underpowered filter that came with the pool set. The first one even burnt out and the replacement filter but it just wasn’t strong enough. It was a constant battle just to keep the water clear.This filter? A total freaking game-changer. It’s easily 6–7 times bigger and more powerful than the stock filter, and the difference is unreal. In the past month, I’ve barely had to clean the pool at all. The water stays crystal clear, and I’m not constantly chasing algae or dumping in extra shock.We did have to stop by the pool store to grab different hoses and clamps to make everything fit, but honestly? Totally worth it. It tooo my partner 30-40 minutes to install it so I suppose it was fairly ease to follow the directions to install or watch a YouTube video of the installation.Is it a little overkill for the size of our Coleman pool? Probably.Was it worth every single penny so we could spend more time actually enjoying the pool instead of maintaining it?Absolutely.If you’re on the fence — get it. Your future self (and your family and kids, if you got ‘em), floating peacefully in clean water instead of fighting with murky chaos, will thank you.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very good price. Was hard to follow instructions to set up but found a video online. Very quiet. Have had it running for 2 days and already can tell a difference in my pool!
