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

I think it works really well, it has really high pressure.I had to get separate fittings to get it to work with my smaller hoses and holes. I was able to order them easily off Amazon as well and they were super easy to connect with the pump. Definitely a way stronger pump than what came with my pool. This is an in-text pump that I put on a Coleman pool.

This brand, style pump came with my original 26-foot round Intex Pool I purchased from Walmart. after 10 years my BF hit my pool with the weed eater and ruined it. I couldn't find the same pool so I bought the Coleman Oval 26 X 18 pool. I have hated it from day one. The sides don't stand up like they are supposed to no matter what we tried. It came with a Smart Pump that was defective from the box, and they never honored my request for a new one, but I had purchased the warranty from Wal-Mart, so they did. In the meantime, I had hooked this pump up to it, my old one. It ran for a long time, until it developed a crack in the housing. So I bought another Sand Pool Pump, it was as useless as well as the Smart Pump. We went on vacation for 2 weeks, the power went out and the pump went off, and did not come back on when the power did. We came home to a green pool! It didn't keep the pool clean at all, even though I had a vacuum going too!, and no timer so you had to keep going out to turn it on and off. This pump wasn't available to ship to CA last year which is ridiculous, since it comes with pools, so I kept watching and waiting! Bingo!! I got it this year!! It's so easy to set up, runs on a timer, and the filters are easy to find. Although you can wash and reuse them several times if you wash them regularly. this winter I found them on Sale, 2 for $4.00...Steal....I stocked up! I am so excited to get this pump hooked up to the pool as I know it will keep it clean! I may purchase another just to keep around, although the last one lasted over 10 years!! You won't go wrong with this purchase, it's over half the cost less than what the others were that I had to purchase, that didn't work either. I am one happy camper (pool owner) again!! Now just to find another 26ft. round pool, so much more room in the pool, not the yard, but I will sacrifice that to have the space in the pool!! Get this Pump, you will love the ease of keeping up with it, change the filter, set the timer and go!! The paperwork was all crumpled up in the box and one page torn all to pieces, couldn't read it but since I had one before I knew how to set it up. Enjoy your new pump!!

The 1000 gpm pump that came with my pool couldn't do it's job well at all in its second summer of use. I was shocking it every four days, the water was cloudy. I couldn't see the bottom....now...wow! Lol! Yup! I can see my feets clearly! I can see all the little blue squares and when I play empty can fetch with the dog and it falls to the bottom, it no longer gets lost. It's been a week and a half since we installed it and it hasn't needed shock. Only thing to beware of is if you let the dog cool off in the pool all day while you are at work, you'll find your water pressure go down after a week only to discover that if you unscrew the hose directly in front of the pump motor area, you'll find fur clogging the mesh screen area. The pump runs full speed again once you get that out. So maybe put a dollar store nylon stocking on your skimmer basket to cut down on that. I put it around the bottom and up around the sides since the basket is raised in the center. We bought the twin pack of 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 intex type B adapters. We bought nothing else, because like you might be doing, I researched and I thought that might be all I needed. Turns out I needed at least one "fernco ptc-150 1 1/2 to 1 1/4 inch pipe connecter (coupler). Home depot had some in stock nearby but I saved the hour trip to and from and just ordered it off amazon. The intex adapters were the exact same size as the fittings on our summer waves so they would not slip right over the summer waves pipes. It cost an extra $1.30 but fine with me. In the mean time we used the shiny new intex water return jet that came in the box with our new pump and hoses. Cutting tiny slivers at a time. Not too much or we'd be buying another pool if we made the hole too large and ruined the liner. While we waited for our fernco coupler (pink package with short gray pipe silver tightening bands on either side) we used the 1 1/4 summer waves hose that came with and ran from the filter canister to the old return jet to hook up our new pump temporarily. We used one of the intex type B adapters, screwed it onto the new intex hose and to the new pump. We fastened the old summer waves hose to the filter canister on the side of the pool and found a silver hose tightening band in the garage and used it to fasten the summer waves hose down around the small end of the type B adapter (the second type B adapter is just a spare since we retro fitted the new intex return to our pool. It was a jerry rigged fit and worked perfectly fine for the few days we waited for our hose coupler to come. The plastic pipe was cinched on pretty good and I'm sure it wouldn't have lasted for ever but we got it tightened enough not to leak. Our coupler came and the summer waves hose came off and into the spare parts box. We installed the coupler onto the filter canister, put the small end of the type B through the coupler, tightened it and screwed the new 1 1/2 intex hose onto the big end of my intex adapter. I did my best to help you plan your moves if you got the same pool I have. Sorry if my writings get confusing. I did my best. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Lol! I'm very glad I got this pump! You'll love how clean your fuzzy pool gets

Great pump, upgraded to this from coleman. Much more powerful, affordable, good warranty. Highly recommend for above ground pool circulation/filtering.

These pumps suck! I mean they're weak and are incapable of doing their intend job. Not just this pump. I mean this pump and all similar pumps. They are almost fine for filtering the water although they are kind of weak in that regard, but they are virtually useless when it comes to vacuuming the pool. There is poor suction causing most of the debris you're trying to vacuum up to just be stirred around in the pool instead and you'll still end up cleaning the cartridge filter three or four times or more during the vacuuming process. I finally just started taking letting the water pump out onto the ground watering the grass while I was vacuuming (filling the pool with the hose at the same time) in order to avoid constantly cleaning the cartridge. That said, this pump/filter works great! Despite the fact that you aren't supposed to, I use an in ground pump to run my pool and it works great. Hooked up to a sand filter vacuuming is not an issue. However, I don't vacuum anymore. While the in ground pump filters the water in my fifteen foot above ground pool, I use this pump to run a cleaning tractor on the bottom of the pool. For that purpose it works wonderfully. I only clean the cartridge when the tractor is struggling or stops as that means the cartridge is too dirty for good water flow. I use this auto pool cleaner available on Amazon although the price has gone up about 50% since I bought it. https://www.amazon.com/Intex-28001E-Auto-Pool-Cleaner/dp/B00GSPHSRO/ref=sr_1_27?keywords=pool+cleaning+robot&qid=1570373565&rnid=2941120011&s=lawn-garden&sr=1-27 The pump runs this guy with no problems. So for filtering and vacuuming your pool this pump and all others like it are a waste of money. (Buy an in ground pool pump. They say they're not for above ground pools, but it works great.) But, because I like to think outside the box and it works so well running that tractor I gave it four stars.

Works great! Really improves water flow over old 1500 gpm pump. Debris is filtered out much faster now.

Great pump for the price. Easy to install and maintain. Also very quiet and really does the job

This only lasted us a year. A year where we are you get 2.5 months of summer. The first summer it ran perfectly. The second summer it was running really loud about a momth in. The warranty was up so we were on our own. Hubby checked and everything was set up and good to go. Still worked great but then it stopped working about 1.5 months into summer. So we got 4 months out of it. That's a lot of $$ for a little time. Not worth it.

This pump is way more powerful than the pump that comes with the Intex/Coleman steel frame pool. It's pretty fantastic. Where the original pump sends a little stream of water in, this thing sends torrent of water and bubbles. A little finicky with getting it going, as it's quite sensitive about air bubbles, but once you get those cleared out, it works like a charm. Nice that it has a built in timer too, so I don't have to use a timer, if I don't want to. Also nice that I don't have to use the built in timer if I don't want to, lol. I've only used it for half of one season, so can't speak to longevity just yet, but hopefully it'll keep on ticking for summer's to come.

We bought this the end of last summer when our pump stopped working had it up for a month now and so far no complaints moves the water perfectly in our 18 foot round pool keeps my pool clean love the timer easy to set up even with a few modifications

Used this pump as a replacement for a Bestway pump (22 foot round 10,000 gallon pool and 2500 gallon per hour pump) and it works excellent. The timer is a nice added feature.

Bought this last May and it worked great. Took it out for this season and won’t start. (Pump kept indoors in off season) So now have full pool of water and no ability to filter. After one season? Sent receipt/Emailed Intek customer service who replied they get back in 48 hours. Day 3 and still waiting. I’ll update if things change… UPDATE: Still going in circles with Intek with no replacement or solution after multiple emails. Keep asking for info I already gave them and now say my invoice from Amazon doesn't match the product number? How is that on me? Literally having a heat wave and Intek has left me hanging.

Pump is good. Hoses are trash. There is air in the lines as the hoses don't connect well.
