is this filter system intended for above or inground pool use?

Actually, depending on your mechanical skills, it can be used for either.It is not, however, plug and play for either.Plumbing connections will need to be made and you will need PVC piping, a hacksaw, PVC cleaner and solvent.I installed this on an inground pool that I supplier my own high performance pump with.This filter is available with a mounting base and pump alll in one package. If you were doing an abovegroung installation, this is the way I'd go.

Above Ground Use Only. Inground Filter Systems are entirely different due to pvc piping configurations for their own individual pools.

I have had various types of filters and have found that a DE filter is better than either a sand or cartridge filter system. Of course, the decision on which sytem to use should take into consideration the size of the pool in question.

Yes it can be used for either above ground or inground pools. As long as it's plumbed correctly it doesn't matter.

no, do not use it for that kind of pool. I am not even very satisfied with it on my above ground pool. I had to make a gasket for the pipe coming out of the filter, after I had to make an extension for it because it was not long enough to seal inside the head unit. It allowed a lot of dirty water bypass and drove me nuts thinking I didn't know how to get my pool chemistry right. Turns out it was the filter all along. Now after a year I think the pump is starting to fail, it makes an awful high pitched squeal.

This is just the earth filter. The pump is separate. But there is no reason that it would not work for your pool.

I would check out pool suppliers web sites , they probably could answer this question or recommend a filter for your pool that you can then search for on amazon

The size of the pool is not directly relevant. You're going to need either the SF of Heywood Pro-Grid filter media or the model of the filter.

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.

I would recommend a better pool pump and sand filter. The system my not be moving the water around enough for the salt water system which will cause it to fail.

This filter will match up great with your pool. Your pump is a bit underpowered, when it goes out try the Pentair superflow 1 hp. You'll have better flow and a faster turn over rate for your pool.

Oh my gosh !!!..it is just perfect I have an above ground pool 15X32 and this filter does a GREAT JOB !!!. My water is crystal clear in no time at all. As far as being oversized...nope, this filter can be use on pools as small as 15 feet round...so you are good

I have an above ground pool...Intex style. It fits the filter/pump/skimmer attachment.

This filter is designed to be used indoors so,if you want it outdoors you have to think how to protect it from rain, sun and dust.Second. If filter is placed at the same level of pond surface or above the level of ponds surface, it wont work out becuse this device is meant to be below a tank, it uses gravity to prime, so being at the same level or above the level of water it wont suck water in.Cheers.

I have an 18' above ground hard side pool and I only run the filtering system about 4-6 hrs a day, it has a 1hp pump and the system works fantastic

I don't know if your pool is above ground or built in. For above ground I think all you really need is a bypass kit. For in ground (which I have) all you need is to pipe a side stream off the pump and back into the pool. I have 4 units, 2 units in series on each of 2 parallel side streams. I haven't had it installed long enough to see some hot weather and find out how well it works.

I believe it should work for an inground pool. You will need to make sure you have the adapters to fit your filter system. This is only a guess.
