I aske the original reviewer where he got the 999 price with shipping and did not get a response. It may be a review from an intex employee.

You put them in the chlorinator, which goes between the pump and the inlet of the pool, you put about 10 tablets in the chlorinator and run the pump about an hour per day to keep your chlorine level around 3

depends on how big your pool is. Al large pool that runs the filter for 8 hours would probably need a 4 wheel. Check out their website or ask a neighborhood pool guy.Our 2 wheel runs for 4 hours a day and our pool is about the size of three spas .

27 x 52 pool is about 18,400 gal / 8 hrs = 2300 gph / 60 min = 38.3 gpm apx flow rate needed. This filter is a little small.

About 2 bags or around 90 lbs.I filled this filter 3/4 full of pool sand.The pool water is still crystal clear. I use one gallon of vertex per week and a float dispersed full of chlorine tablets.I recommend after you get water clear, put water stabilizer into skimmer.It keeps the water clear all season long.My pool is slightly smaller at 48 inches tall. If you have a 1.5 horsepower pump this filter should work fine.I usually run my pump 8 hours a day.

In your case I would probably get the bigger filter. My pool is only 10,000 gallons and it does great but does require occasional back washing as the pressure goes up around 10 lbs. the bigger one should allow longer in-between back washing.

What size pool do you have? This is a large filter and is used in larger pumps. They are sold at Walmart and you can see the size but they are usually cheaper on Amazon.

We do not recommend this size filter for a pool of your size. Get a larger filter. 1hp pump is fine though.

Yes, I have this set-up and it works GREAT. My pool is only 16' round, 48'' high (approx. 5000 gal) though so I set the filter pump to run approx. 4 hrs. every night together with the saltwater chlorinator and I only had to shock the pool once or twice last summer, and that only because I did not run the filter for a few days. What a change from years past when it took so much work just to keep the water balanced.Setting your pump up with a saltwater chlorinator will give you a virtually MAINTENANCE-FREE pool all summer long. No more constantly adding chlorine or trying to keep your water balanced. You do it once, and then pretty much maintenance free all summer giving you time to really enjoy your pool.

This is what I do know. My pool is an Intex self set pool and the filter that came with it was not up to the task so, I replaced the entire filter unit with the Krystal clear. Once I got the ph and stabilizer levels correct it pretty much is a matter of checking the levels maybe twice a week, very low maintenance. As far as the filter cartridge goes I still have the original. I cleaned the cooper electrodes and plates once in that time. The filter comes with the adapters and hoses I needed with a little work to enlarge the holes as the adapters and hoses are a bit larger. Not knowing what connections you have I don't know if you need additional parts. I highly recommend this unit. This is what I do know.

I have a 33,000 gallon pool & bought 2; one nexr to each return. I think one would do the trick. Operational 8 hours per day. These units work very well.

This is a great pump and filter. You can use either A or C filter cartridge. You can get filters at Ocean State Job Lot for 2 bucks each. Hose diameter is 2". It is larger than the summer escape fitting I think. One can get adapter at a pool store. I did.

You can order them here, -but if you have a pool that big, I highly recommend converting to Salt water (saves big $$$ and time /very low maintenance to keep a crystal-clear pool) and using a Sand filter. Cartridge filters are questionable -even for Wading pools, and it's a constant struggle to keep it 'clear' (these filters just aren't up to the task at hand).

I do not think this particular filter will work for that size pool capacity (ours is 15000-1800);I would look for a larger rated model,possibly from the same manufacturer ,but mind the previous reviews regarding BAD PACKAGING PRACTICES!(ours works well but we had an AWFUL TIME, 3 tries, to get one that wasn't cracked or missing parts) The units themselves worked fine when installed

The Intex 1500 gallon pool uses the type A filters. I get them at Amazon 6 at a time. (Intex 59900E-6 Easy Set Pool Replacement Type A Filter Cartridge, 6-Pack)

For a 25,000 gallon pool, I recommend the FNS plus 60.... The 48 would work, why stretch a smaller filter.

I don't believe the type of filter you have matters. I happen to have a cartridge type filter, however, I've been using the PhosFree chemical for 3 years now, and I have never had a clearer, better feeling and algae free pool. It seems to extend the chlorine life and gives the water a softer feeling. My wife loves it too.
