INTEX C2500 Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools: 2500 GPH Pump Flow Rate – Improved Circulation and Filtration – Easy Installation – Improved Water Clarity – Easy-to-Clean

Great upgrade from C530 pump. This pump is great for our 12x30 intex prism pool. We needed to upgrade as the original pool pump didn’t seem to circulate the water well and the filters stayed dirty a lot last year. The set up was easy and it has keep the pool clean and keep the water moving great. I ordered the A type filters as well and it has an indicator in the top of the pump to let me know when it needs changing. No more guessing. So far we are pleased with our purchase.

I bought that $45 Costco blow up pool (333ish gallons) and this pump is PERFECT for keeping the water clean so we dont have to empty and refill. Please also be sure you are treating with chlorine and the chemicals needed to maintain healthy water! You can buy the easy test strips to be sure you are all balanced. But this little pump pulled out all of the debri and our water is totally clear! Best purchase this summer haha.Shout out to the guy won here hose hot tub review inspired me to get this one. It was super easy to put together since we didnt have to attached anything into the pool. We did like him and just put the hoses in the water and held them down with hand weights. And we stuck the little filter looking attachment on the intake hose like him to prevent clogging from any large items.Since it runs 1000GPH it essentially will clean the water in the pool 3X through in an hour. We initially ran overnight for 10 hrs to give it a good thorough cleaning and now plan to run it a few hours every few days for maintenance. You can also use it like a vacuum and drag the intake hose around the edges and corners to grab all the little build up that is difficult to pull in. My sister and I did this together since someone has to carry around the actual pump while I walked around vacuuming.Purchase of the summer! woohoo!

1+ years in this thing works awesome! But for best results buy a skimmer. With the build in 2 outlet holes it does not take advantage of the full power of the pump. But with a single skimmer it does. You can see and feel the difference in the outlet with a skimmer and your pool gets cleaner faster and stays cleaner way longer. You do not have to vacuum nearly as often maybe once every 2-3 weeks depending on your weather in your location like wind. Now if they made a non sand 3500 gph pump I would probably upgrade again, but this so does the job.

Filters are easy to change. It has a pop-up sensor telling you when its time to change the filter. It includes a programmable timer. Easy setup. Two hoses and clamps are included. Price was insanely good.

I have not been impressed with the 1500gph sand filter that came with my Intex Ultra 9ftx18ftx52in pool. It seemed to struggle filtering small particulates so I had some cloudy water issues. I upgraded to this 2500gph cartridge filter pump and WOW what a difference. Crystal clear water in the first 12hr run cycle. Why does the pool not come with this filter system?? It is also super smooth running and quiet. Great upgrade for $110.

It works amazing! I don't buy the inside filters anymore because it is a waste of money. I did my research and now I am using my own diy inside filter and it works wonders.

Great pump for our 500 gallon pool! Keeps the water crystal clear. Also the inlet is strong so I sit near it & get a nice water massage! Would recommend & repurchase
