IntexIntex 26651EG 3,000 GPH Above Ground Pool Sand Filter Pump with Automatic Timer

I had some issues with the delivery from Amazon. However, once received….this was totally worth it. Ditch that amateur pump that comes with your liner and upgrade to this bad boy. I was super scared of doing this at first but after throwing away a $600 pool because I did not know how to upkeep. I decided to give it another try with more research. This is completely worth it. I will say you may need to buy additional parts to switch over to this pump, but there are wonderful YouTube videos that I highly advise to watch prior to doing this. All of the parts that you will need including adapters are all available on Amazon with fairly quick delivery. This is the 2800 sand pump on a 14 foot 2,700 gal. pool. It took about 9 hours, 5 backwashes, one GOOD shock to clear. Here are my before and afters.

This is a must for any and all above ground pool owners. Huge upgrade from what comes with the pool when purchased. This turned my GREEN pool clear in less than 3hrs of run time. Overall the quality seems to be a better plastic based material that is durable and tough. The water flow is a hugeeeee upgrade and forces the water to the opposite end quickly. The basket is also way easier to prime and clean. This has multiple modes and has an easy timer that can auto shut off after your desired run time. Overall beyond happy with purchase

Great Sand Filter Pump!The 18'x42' Coleman pool I have did not have a great filter pump. The pump that came with the pool was too small for keeping 7,000 gallons of water clean and the chemicals balanced. I needed more flow to keep the water circulating.The pump I just installed has a timer, recirculate feature, backwash, rinse and filter. It’s easy to install and I think it’s priced well too.I’ve had a good summer, with less work needed in my pool care. The water flows a lot better, is crystal clear, and it’s easier to keep the chemicals in balance. I haven’t had any issues with water getting stagnant or algae.Also when putting the sand in for the first time, add half the sand and wet in so it settles then fill with the rest of the sand to fill line and wet again, check to see if it's at least at the fill line, if not you'll need to add more.

Started right up no issues no problems delivered same dayVery gratefulThe only thing that I will tell people is that the plug for this is longer than the original plug that came with my original Intex pool so I had to go to Home Depot and get a new outdoor plug casing just a flat one so that this plug would fit

It did what we needed it to do which was turn our swamp green pool, crystal clear again! We got lazy and left our pool uncovered this winter which resulted in green water full of debris. About 2 weeks of running the pump ~12 hrs/day (plus a few shock and algaecide treatments) brought it back to life.My only complaint is that this newer model doesn't seem much of an upgrade. We had the previous model (SF60110-2) for 8 years. It still worked great but we needed to change out the sand this year so we decided to just upgrade the whole pump. This model not only has a much smaller filter tank, but the pump also makes less power and it did not include an inlet plunger valve and strainer. We decided to use the old tank and will keep the new one as a backup. Either way, it definitely did the job and helped us meet our goal of having the pool open for Memorial Day weekend!

This pump is super quiet, I am using it on my 8ft stock tank and it has great water flow. I am also using the filter balls instead of sand, much cleaner than the sand. It came with an outlet to connect to your pool but it didn’t come with an inlet which i thought was strange. I did have to grind one side of each inlet and outlet hose to fit the shut off valve I purchased on amazon, but not much, easy fix.

First time buying this. Our pool is a 20’ circle that’s 52” deep and we keep this pump on day and night, rain or shine, with no problems and excellent results! Do not throw away the round white doughnut thing as it helps when pouring in the sand. We bought an expensive Hayward pump last year and it quit after one season and their customer service was sh1t! You won’t regret buyin this pump!

We’ve had our Intex pool since 2017, and surprisingly, it’s still standing! Our original sand pump finally gave out last week, so we had to purchase a new one. We went with the same type of Intex sand pump, just a slightly larger model this time. We’re really happy with the results—the new pump is definitely stronger and works perfectly. It’s a great upgrade to our setup, and I would definitely recommend it!
