im trying to hook my intex new sand filter pump to my summer escapes pool. it has nuts and pull requires push on fittings will this work to convert

I removed the nuts from the adapters and put a 1 1/4 flexible coupling over that end. It's a tight fit but it will go on. And then you can place that over the end on your pool. Secure the hose clamps and you're in business. I don't have any leaks. I also purchased the intex skimmer plate so that I can vacuum the pool easier. I just use the top hat looking pieces that came with the pool to keep water from flowing out if I have to do anything with the sand filter. It beats paying through the nose for plunger valves

I have used this sand filter on an eighteen foot by forty eight inch Intex pool for the last six years. You need to change the sand each spring.

This pump requires salt. The amount of salt used corresponds to your pool size. Sand would be used with a sand filter pump.

I don't know,but not recomended the Intex filters look for a sand filter is better.

if you have an intex pool, all of the needed parts and connectors are in the box or use the ones that currently exist on your pool. I didn't have anyconnection issues when i hooked mine up.

Depends on your pump connections. If you do need hardware it will probably be a couple of extra clamps. If you are using a intex pool you will probably need the adapters also sold by Amazon. Depending on how far away from the pool you might also need to purchase extra hose. The ones that come with the kit are a little short. You can purchase the hose from a pool supplier for about one dollar per foot. It's actually an easy install.

James, I have an Intex pool and used this pump, filter along with my regular pump, filter that came with my pool. I used PVC to create a intake and output to and from the pool. I have no prior PVC experience, and was able to get some pointers from my local Lowes store. I found it was very easy to assemble and my pool water looks great! I have also saved money on chemicals. As for attaching the pump to your side mount system, I think the suction would be too much and probably damage your pool.

The fittings for the Intex pump are unique to Intex. Everything comes with the pump to install it easily with an Intex pool, but if you are attempting to attach it to another brand pool - it will probably need some cleaver couplings.

If it is an intex you have to have an adaptor that screws onto the suction side to attach the hose from the skimmer to the suction hose that hooks to the filter pump.

Yes. It comes with different connections And that one should be included. Escapes and intex pools are in essences the same. I empy the catch bag under water by taking vac end off pulling bag out and emtying alway keeping vac head under waterHope it helps. Good luckTip. Make a whirl pool all dirt will settle in middle and vac away

This adapter should work well if your original pump was the 800 gallon per minute or 1,000 gallon per minute pump. I had a slightly larger Summer Escapes pool (18' x 5') that came with a 2,000 gallon per minute pump which requires a larger adapter (that does not appear to be produced by anyone at this point) se we ended up leaving the old pump attached but not using it. Once we had it set up, the sand filter worked much better than the original cartridge filter.

The filter will take about 100 - 120 pounds of sand. The salt will depend on the size of your pool. The instructions with the unit will tell you exactly what is needed. Very easy system to set up. If you have a small pool you will need the Intex 1-1/2" to 1-1/4"hose adapters.

I don't think so. My experience is that Intex pools are very specific and require intex replacement parts. I don't think it's worth the gamble.nswer here...

Search for my review on the SFS1500. I describe how we converted from the SFS1500 piece-o'crap to an fantastic Intex sand filter/pump on our Summer Escapes pool, links included to the products we used. The Summer Escapes pool has been GREAT, but their SFS1500 pump is like month-old seafood... it stinks on ice. Yes, you will spend about $250 for an Intex sand filter/pump and an Intex plunger valve set, but if your experience is like ours, you will spend $140 per SFS1500 pump. Our original SFS1500 (which came with the pool) lasted three to four months, and died before the end of summer. The replacement SFS1500 lasted about a month. I would not install another SFS1500 if someone gave it to me for free. Search for my review on the SFS1500.

It can be used in conjunction with an intex filter pump, but that that particular model of salt water module has had a lot of problems. Make sure that you are getting the revised and updated version of that that system.

I use THE Wanda the Whale pool vacuum that hooks directly to the filters intake and it works great for my 24ft x52 in intex pool. I would recommend this pump to anyone. goodbye chlorine and paper filters
