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 bought a sand filter and a salt water system seperately. If I did it again, I would buy the package deal, where they come together. It wan't a big deal to hook them up though. I've done it the other way with chlorine and filters. This beats it, hands down. Once you have put the sand in the sand filter pump and the salt in the pool, this is so low maintanence. I love it! I also got a sifter that hooks up to the intake and gets all of the leaves and bugs before they go to the bottom of the pool. It makes for much less vacuuming. I would recommend the salt water system and sand filter pump to anyone. Plus, it's so nice to not have that chlorine smell or taste or burning of the eyes.

I'm not sure what kind of filter comes with your current pool. My pool had the round skimmer basket with a small black pump that attached at the bottom. I did have to get this piece when I put on my sand filter. It made the connection much easier and it does not leak. It basically replaces where the black pump attached to the bottom of the skimmer basket.

This is a replacement filter only. To use it you need to have the New Wave Shower Filter System. It's less than $30 dollars on Amazon. It comes with a filter and is easy to install. You just cover the threads with the supplied plumber's tape and screw in to your shower opening. You can use the filter you just bought the following year. I love this shower system for getting chlorine out.

I don't have my part numbers in front of me but I'm a stickler for not ordering unless all of the numbers are an exact match, so I KNOW that my filter must be the model with the "2". Please contact Hayward and/or dig around on their web site. I think that's the shortest path to a solution. I know that, at this time of year, time is of the essence. All I can say is, for our application, the replacement part has performed well.Best of luck.

They did replace mine more than 2 months out, but we haven't taken it in. Saltwater again. It worked ok in pools, just not the ocean. They initially told us they wouldn't replace it, but they did - so it's questionable what the real policy is. We were glad to have an exception.

Be glad that the moror is still working. This pump works fine and will have your pool working as it should. We had a leak in the pump last year and my husband tried sealing it. Held for one season but then I guess the frigid NY winter caused the seal to deteriorate. Ordered this pump and now it works great! Very easy to install. Good luck.

As I mentioned in my review, this was not an exact replacement for the Summer Escapes skimmer, filter, pump combination. The best thing would be to see if it is as least as big or bigger than your existing skimmer. As long as it's as big or bigger it's not a problem to trim the opening and punch new holes for the screws like I did.

I have 18 foot round Namco pool above ground. I bought 18 inch haywood S180T92S. This is a real good replacement for my clearwater filter. This sand filter cleans the pool in 4 hours. My pool 8,000 gallons of water. I love my Hayward S180T92S Pro Series pump and filter. I also checked namco pool store. The same pump and filter $750 plus tax at Namco pool store. Amazon shipping and tax in MA $408.

I bought the Intex 1500 GPAbove Ground Pool Filter Pump for my 22 ft round pool and it is awesome! I bought 2 of the replacement pumps that the summer escapes pool came with. The first lasted a season and the second one just a few months. Total waste. This index pump keeps my pool sparkling. I use the timer and run it 6 hrs a day. %100 improvement over the original summer escapes

As with you the one I got was too small. so I just left the pump that came with pool attached to skimmer and just ran hose from old pump to the basket filter going into the motor on the sand filter and it worked just fine. Until I can find a bigger adapter it works. FYI you do not need to plug in the pump attached to skimmer. Just the motor with the sand filter. Hope this helps

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.

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.

We had the same situation. We bought this tub (nice tub) expecting to be able to immediately order a spare filter for swapping out and using the tub nonstop. I had to take the numbers right off of the filter and do an internet search. They are a common filter and on the low end of price :-) I don't have the numbers written down to give you but when I did the search I remember I found it very quickly from multiple spa and hot tub suppliers. If you have any hot tub stores near you I assume they probably have one on the shelf. Enjoy!

It is possible to remove it without too much trouble since it screws into the filter return but then you would have to replace the Pool Skim with the original "eye" that came with the return and then remove the eye again and reinstall the Pool Skim. It is sort of a hassle but it is doable. When I installed mine, I used the 90 degree elbow that came with the Pool Skim. So it comes out of the return and then turns and is close to the side of the pool rather than sticking straight out into the pool. It doesn't stick out too much that way and I have not had a problem with anyone hitting or bumping it. But then again I don't have a lot of kids using my pool, mainly adults.

I use it and seem to have no problems but I can't atest to the use in salt water. I should replace any filter sand.

We bought a salt water pump for our pool because the filter pump was not shipped with pool. BUT I think you r talking about the filter pump. No u shouldn't have to dump it, but you will need to leave the filter pump hooked up to the salt water pump. Filter pump cleans the debris from water. Salt pump treats the water. My husband has allergy problems with chlorides so the salt pump works great. We didn't have to adjust or treat pool in the 2 months we used the pool.
