Can this filter be used with the filter that comes with the Intex 14 x 42 pool. I'm not sure of the pump size that comes with that pool (we just got it last weekend).

I am using with the same size pool but I upgraded to a sand filter pool pump. now I spend more time swimming in the pool than maintaining

Yes. The only requirement for the original filter is that it must be able to provide the necessary water flow to the saltwater system. ( The saltwater system DOES NOT pump the water, the original pool filter does ). Therefore, they both must be run at the same time and at least for the same length of time ( the saltwater manual tells you all about it ). Usually, the pool pump must run an extra hour after the saltwater system finished its job.

Yes, comes with the bigger diameter hoses and adapters, since it can be used with non Intex pools and some smaller Intex pools the hoses and adapters are provided to maintain the proper water flow, some bigger Intex pools will have the same hoses and adapters so you will have spare ones in that case, I use this item and the saltwater filter pump and it saves a lot of time, work, and expences on chemicals and such. I highly recommend this product. I had made comments prior to this one referencing the pressure of the actual pump that came with the set I had purchase which came with the pump and the chlorinator.

You can use this with above ground swimming pools, as long as the filter flow rate is less than 4000 gallons per hour. It's quite simple to install with intex pump and filter, but if it's not, you will need a few things from home depot. I would suggest two 2" union fittings (slip), Two 2" female adapters (one sif s is threaded the other smooth), and some 2" elbows will be needed. For more info email me hookdup88@gmail

Hello, the skimmer worked great and it did fit our pool which was a 15ft x 48' best way pool that is just like the intex. Funny you wrote today, I just bought a Coleman 16x 48 today and plan on using the skimbi with it this year...hope that helps...:)

that should work really well. my pool (9x18) has a foot print of about 12x20 (that includes the pump/filter).

My newer Intex pump is working better than the one that came with my 18x48 hardsided pool.As long as the fittings will match up, it is definitely worth a try..

I have an Intex 18 x 10 oval pool and it works great. None of the adapters it came with worked with the pool, but I was able to use the adapter that came with the Intex Deluxe wall mount skimmer. However, the vacuum works best with 1500 gph pump and above. I'm now using 2500 sand and salt filter and works very good.

Sorry, my emails got buried... It should be more than enough to keep that pool pretty. Try taking a piece of 1.5" and 2" pool hose to the ports. I think this pump will work with both sizes. If they fit or, can be adapted, you should be good. Make sure there will always be continuous flow to the pump though. All the pump is going to do is draw water, filter it and push it back into the pool. I'll look around and post if I find anything.

i have the 24x52 INTEX pool. this did not fit on my skimmer that came with my pool.

No. You don't say what model of Intex pool you have, but the ones I've seen either do not use a skimmer or have a combo skimmer/filter/pump unit. Definitely do not cut a hole in your pool if it is not now fitted with a skimmer.

So what is your question. I am no expert on pool filters. I have had this filter since I bought my first pool, so my experience lies with this brand only. I know others who have the 30 and 40 series versions. This filter compared to those others is top of line. I am extremely happy I have and am using this filter. I have a 24 ft round - 52 " wall pool and this filter is more than adaquate to handle the size of my pool. I dont know what your issue is with the clamp on top, but as long as you follow the directions for tightening the band up, you should be fine. Tip- I use a rachet set with a deep bit to loosing and tighten the clamp. Open end adjustible wrenches will strip the band belt bolt.

18 X 48 pools normally come with a 1500 GPH pump. For the small difference in price, I would upgrade to the 2500 GPH model. I went through several pumps that were the size that came with my pool. I went to the next size up, & besides doing a better job of filtering, I haven't had any failures of the pump motor. I would also recommend the intex filters over those from Walmart. There's quite a difference in the amount of paper folds & they will do a better job on the small silt, etc. Be sure to get the right size. (Available from Amazon of course) Ron

I would call a local pool store and ask them what their recommendations would be for your pool. I personally would go for the bigger filter but I feel its best to check with a pool place just to be 100% sure.

I'm not a pool expert. But, I would say this pump/filter would be sufficient. I would buy it. Especially knowing the amount of water circulation in my pool after buying my Hayward filter/pump. I would think you would be very satisfied. You will need to buy a stronger vacuum hose and 6- 2" or 2.5" hose clamps! The hoses that come with the pump/filter will connect direct to your factory Intex water inlet valves!!! Terry

Yes, it fits my Intex 14 x 48 ultra frame pool fine. Works great. Mine does not stay straight up but it catches all the debris like it's suppose to.

If you use the smaller attachment you can simply hook up to intake with vacuum hose and suck out the algae. I have a sand filter pump, and it works great. Do not know about the standard filters that come with the above ground intex pools.

Yes. This filter will work fine on the pool you describe. I put one on a system with similar specs and it works great!
