Intex C1500 Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools: 1500 GPH Pump Flow Rate – Improved Circulation and Filtration – Easy Installation – Improved Water Clarity – Easy-to-Clean

Learn from my mistakes, don't waste all your time & money this summer. Here is how I cleared my brown iron infested pool up in just 3 days! We decided to attempt to set up a pool again this year & I forgot how tedious the whole process is, but this filter ended up being a savior! I decided to start small and ordered the 8ft intex pool from Target (99$) & although it claimed it came with a filter pump it didn't. I figured it was a small pool so I could get away with a small pump so I ordered an off brand 330 pump ($79). We have a septic water system so our water is full of iron thusly when we filled the pool it was super cloudy and murky. I hooked up the small filter and ran it for 10 days straight, cleaning out the cartridge daily and adding chemicals constantly...the water was slightly better but still very cloudy and brown (see 1st picture) and the iron particles that would settle on the bottom were too fine to vaccum up. After doing some research & reading a ton of reviews I decided to buy this filter. I knew from the reviews I needed to buy the adapters since I have a smaller pool, I got them for $16 here on Amazon. I read the gasket is not necessary & since it was a $60+ part I decided to hold off on that. While it works great without it it enables you to turn the water flow off for pump maintenance so it is helpful, I think eventually I will be getting one. The adapters are 100% necessary as the fittings are larger than the pool. So the filter & adapters came in just 2 days. It was super easy to install, took me like 30 minutes to do myself. If you're like me and super new to pools intex has some videos on YouTube that help a lot! I will admit the dual suction threw me off since the smaller filter only had 1 intake 1 output. Initially I installed it backwards & had 2 output hoses and 1 intake hose. The next day I realized my mistake and switched the hoses to 2 intake and 1 output. But, it still worked well that first night, that's how amazing this filter is. Being that my pool is so small this filter is super powerful!! The suction power is amazing & the output comes out like a hot tub. That old small pump didn't even move the water around, this one actually circulates it. If you're like me and have hard water or iron issues Google "pool sock method". I filled socks with pillow stuffing and zip tied them to the output hose than rinsed them clean a few times a day. The helped to collect those tiny stubborn iron particles. After the 1st night of running this filter the water was 80% clear (see 2nd picture). I was pleasantly surprised!! I continued using the pool socks and shocked the water the next day & it was 90% clear (see 3rd picture). After a few days of maintenance, chemicals and the occasional vaccum (I have one of those cheap pool vacs that hook up to a garden hose), I went outside to find the water 100% crystal clear!!!!! Literally all the iron particles GONE!!! Since it was super hot here last week the water feels amazing!! I feel like I finally conquered my greatest challenge yet...the brown pool water, and I owe it all to this filter!!! Yes it was a little more than I initially wanted to spend for a little pool, but it was SO worth it! I wish someone would have told me that before I wasted money on a subpar filter & weeks of having a brown pool no one could swim in!! Now that I have this amazing filter and know it works so well I plan on upgrading to the 12ft poolnext year... I just have to level out the ground better... (if you haven't put your pool up yet, LEVEL THE GROUND 1ST it really matters). But for now we are LOVING our little pool paradise. So if you have a small pump the upgrade is 1000% WORTH IT!

Bought this for small above-ground pool this summer. It was very easy to install and get hooked up with pool hoses. The filters do a great job, and the pump and filter do a great job at keeping my pool clear and sanitary. It is very simple to remove filter for cleaning/changing. It is a bit noisy, but it is on a screened patio. So I'm pretty sure it echos. That being said, when I went out to end of property line next to neighbor, I could not hear anything. I built a sound proof box for it anyway. I like the timer feature. It has a 1 hour, then 2, 4 6, 8 12 hour. Whatever time you initially turn it on and set the hours for, it will run for that then come on again and run for those set hours at the time you initially turn it on. I like that it gives you options. And timer very inconvenient so you don't have to turn it on every night/day once you select what you want. It's very sturdy and does not take up much space. So far, so good.

Put this on our 15’ pool. The original pump was smaller and had less bpm. This one creates alot of turbulence and is noticeably more powerful. This is a little louder than the last (smaller) one. Had for one season. Will see how it’s working this season. Would recommend.

I have a Summer Waves 10' x 30" pool. It came with a 600 GPH pump and tiny filter. It seemed we were changing the filter out every 2 days or so otherwise we would have almost non-existent flow. It would also lose prime after a few hours. Customer support told us the pump wasn't designed to run more than 3 hours and was only to circulate chemicals. I bought this pump to replace that one I wanted more water turn over. The 600 GPH wasn't filtering hardly anything. Within a day of installing this 1500 GPH pump, the water clarity was 100% improved. It also gave alot of water turn over enough so much that it actually circulated the water around the pool. I can watch the thermometer float in circles from the living room window. I did have to rig this pump to make it work on the pool as it wasn't designed for it. The outlet aerator was much bigger than what the pool had so we did have to trim the pool to get the outlet to fit. We pushed the outlet into the hole and just trimmed slowly around it until we got most of the excess off the threads. The pump did not come with the inlet strainer and we couldn't make the existing one work with the adapter. I bought the 1.25" adapters but the pool had 1". I tried a compression fitting from Home Depot but it collapses the openings and leaks. I bought a Summer Waves suction fitting for 1.5" systems (RP & RX) here on Amazon (Search: B072L65B4Q). That fit directly into the inlet hole without trimming, which seems dumb on Summer Waves part. Why not have same size holes on both? I was able to take the hose that came from the Intex pump and actually thread it onto the inlet strainer. I tightened it up as far as I could then put a hose clamp on it just in case. There is SOME leakage from the area but very small. It looks like sweat running down the pool, maybe a drop every 5 seconds. Overall I'm impressed. The filter lasted a little over a week. It was still working but the bubbles stopped. We didn't know why but when I replaced the filter the bubbles came back and you could immediately see a flow improvement. Being a smaller pool and this pump being overkill, I could have left it alone and let it have diminished flow and probably would have worked fine.

These are decent priced and work great for smaller above ground pools.

For years I've had smaller intex easy set pools with low capacity pumps. They barely did the job. So this year when I upgraded to a larger metal frame intex pool I knew I wanted a stronger pump and the c1500 was only marginally more expensive than the 350 and 500 gph pumps I previously had. However, I didn't realize when ordering that the valve size would be different and the that the connectors on the new pump were threaded instead of clamped like on the smaller pumps. So it took a few days for me to sort that out and figure out what other pieces I would need to order. The anxiety I mention above comes from the fact that in order to change the valves in my pool to a larger size that would accommodate the c1500, I would have to cut holes in the new pool liner! Thankfully there are lots of videos showing you how to do it and in actuality, it was simple and fast. With the holes cut, and with the additional plunger valves I purchased (for about $30 on Amazon, not intex brand)I was able to convert the original valves from 1/14 to 1/12, and from clamped to threaded connectors. All of this to say when I finally fired up the C1500 the amount of water pumping through the system was awesome. So much stronger than the smaller pumps I've used in the past. I will say this too, there are valve adjustment packages that allow you to avoid cutting holes in your pool, but honestly that would defeat the purpose of the larger pump b/c you would be constricting water flow. So in the end, if you buy this pump know that you'll need additional plunger valves to be able to connect the pump, and you'll need to cut holes in your pool if they have the smaller valves. But while this may seem daunting, and I was honestly completely unprepared, in the end it was simple and the pump is night and day better for keeping things clean. Really happy with it.

6/21/19 UPDATE- my earlier 3 star review was due to contempt prior to investigation. Turns out the pump worked so well that my filter was dirty and needed to replaced after 3 days. The pool didn't look dirty enough to require a filter change yet, but when I pulled the filter, it was definitely dirty. Anyway, once I changed the filter the pump went back to working at full power. Lots of bubbles, lots of moving water. Very happy with the pump! If you're thinking about upgrading to this pump, do it. This is the pump I purchased to replace the slightly smaller version (which quit after 3 weeks). Initially this pump worked great, pushed water around really well and was much quieter that the previous pump. After less than 1 week of use the output is diminished to the point you can't even tell it's on unless you put your hand in front of the and no aerating bubbles are being produced. Hard to believe that tiny under-powered original pump that came with the pool worked better and for longer. Going to have to order ANOTHER replacement pump and hope it lasts longer.

So, we got one of those cheap self-rising 15' x 42" 'Summer Escapes' pools last year for my kids. (I won't even go into how the liner split after only 3 weeks, and the ridiculous 4 month warranty/back-ordered from China BS we went through that COMPLETELY ruined one of the hottest recorded summer's in the state!) They come with a pump that, well, just sucks. (excuse the pun) So, new year, and a new warrenty'd pool liner, it's all up and filled in June. After a couple of weeks of not wanting to put my head underwater due to the murky water, I looked up the specs on the supplied pump. I mean, I could cup my hand over the intake and not feel any suction...at all. And the water return was so weak, it couldn't even start a mini whirlpool. The pump moved a measly 730-something g/hr. So theoretically, it would take 4 1/2 hours to sufficiently filter the entire pool. That is, if it could actually pull in water 1 foot beyond the intake! Lame. So I came on trusty Amazon to see what I could see. I found this pump and, like a good consumer, read the reviews. One review that I dug was that one customer experienced 'crystal clear water' in something silly like 24 hours. Well, I can attest to that; After having this pump running for 24 hours, my pool water was crystal clear. The pump moves 1500 g/hr. And you can feel it BOTH in the intake and the exhaust (where it's strong enough to create the necessary whirlpool to agitate the far end of the water to the intake). Another thing I read was that the pump was "loud". Um, yea...it's a PUMP. What do you expect for under $65? Stealth mode? I can assure any future customers that this pump is neither unexceptionally loud, OR annoying. Even if you had it running whilst swimming. It sounds like it should sound...a pump pumping water. But you won't have it on during swimming anyway, because it has a variable timer that shuts off automatically after only needing to be on for a few hours daily. What I do is either run the pump for 4 hours after putting the cover on for the night, or, run it in the morning when I leave for work. For a 15' pool, this is all you need to keep the water clear. Maybe longer for larger pools. Installation was simple. I attached the hosed to the new pump and turned it on. That simple. It does come with all new hoses with collar locking ends. Also, the pump kit comes with new intake and exhaust receptacles that attach through the pool liner. I didn't want to mess with changing my old ones out with a full pool, so that will wait till next year...or when this pool liner takes a dump before the summer ends (like I think it will). Quality-wise, it looks well-made and stout. As for it's longevity, I can't comment yet. Haven't had it long enough. (which is why it only got 4 stars from me) I'm hoping it last through this summer and maybe next. It should, with the limited time it needs to be on daily.

Buen producto, hasta ahora funciona muy bien es muy fácil de usar y bastante práctico con la programación de cuatro tiempos de funcionamiento

日本に対応してない物を売るな、チェックする機関はないのか？人がいないならAIにやらせれば、、チェックするのは勿論日本のAmazonでしょう。ゴミに出せないから引き取ってほしいが、

Was tired of the messy job of cleaning out the sand filter every week so I replaced it with this filter. I had to run the sand filter around 8 hours per day to clean the pool water adequately. This unit does the job in 4 hours and the family is commenting on how much cleaner the water is from prior years. Just buy yourself and extra filter so you can swap it out in under a minute. Filters are reusable after a quick spray with the high pressure setting of a standard garden hose attachment. Only negative is the pump is a bit noisier than the one that came with the sand filter, but I'll put up with a bit of noise given the much improved results.

Este rediseño viene con problemas, empieza a fugar agua en el sello del motor en la parte baja

I bought this pump for my 10ft stock tank pool. It’s recommended for 18-22ft pools so it’s perfect for this. It’s quiet, super easy to use. You can adjust to have the pump run on a schedule or constantly. The only thing I wish this pump included was an intake and out take piece. Had to order that separately.
