i have a 15x 48 pool, came with filter pump...want to change to sand and saltwater... but liner hole is 1 inch... can I buy this and cut my liner hol

Yes, I had a summer escapes pool and I used a box cutter to enlarge the hole on the liner for the 2" valves to work. Just put the valve up to the liner and trace around the opening of the valve with a black marker to use as a guide and then make the cut around the marked line.

Hi, I remember cutting the holes to fit when I added a GAME Sandpro filter and things have been fine. Good Luck!

No. You don't say what model of Intex pool you have, but the ones I've seen either do not use a skimmer or have a combo skimmer/filter/pump unit. Definitely do not cut a hole in your pool if it is not now fitted with a skimmer.

this pool comes with a sand filter pump,but you do need to order the "Intex Krystal clear Saltwater system" we set ours up last week and it works great, 3 40lbs bags to begin with but buy them at at a Ace hardware or Walmart so bags dont rip open

You sure can. You just have to block your input & output water lines with plugs or if you have the plunger style valves, close them so the water doesn't come out. Then you can swap out the filter with no problems. This was the best investment I have made yet! Our pool is crystal clear with this new sand filter!!

Can cut the size patch you need. We only needed about a 4" square. Make sure you round the corners off for secure sticking. We fixed the liner in our above ground pool with the water still in it. It worked great and it's still holding. Can be used on a number of other items such as balls, swim toys etc. Basically anything that requires vinyl patch.

I have an in ground pool size 18 x 36, 3 feet deep at the shallow end and 8 feet deep at the deep end. I have been using this type of filter since the pool was built in 1986. I have always and only used a 1 HP pump and my pool is sparkling clean. Finally, a DE filter is considered to be the best for filtration, even better than a sand filter.

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

Yes this will work fine. I change sand every 3 years if you're in a dusty area (TX/OK) and run the pump through winter. If you run the pump only during swim season then you can probably get 4-5 years out of a sand change. And use regular pool sand, not the weird stuff. Sometimes the big box stores sell it too. Happy swimming!

go to this link for poolskim and at the bottom you will need to purchase either the 1 inch or 1 1/2 inch adapter depending on your return size. It was worth every penny no more floating leaves in my pool http://www.poolskimusa.com/install.htm

Your best bet is to take one out of your filter tank and measure it. As I recall its got to do with the length and not diameter. I used DE filter on two pools for 20 years. I jumped to a Sand Filter. Wish I had jumped years ago. Functionability and operations is sooo much better with a sand filter. The price to replace the filter fingers made me throw away the DE and go to sand.

Hi Ruth. The pool is big, but not big enough for a filter. You may want to call customer service for that question. Good luck. The Maj

Hey Tim my pool is 26x18 33,000 GL. The C1200 is overkill for my pool but that's not a bad thing. I went from an old Hayward S200 sand filter to the C1200. Right off the bat I could tell the motor wasn't straining to push the water through the cartridge verses the sand. I think bigger is better in this aspect. I would recommend this filter to anyone.

I would call a local pool store and ask them what their recommendations would be for your pool. I personally would go for the bigger filter but I feel its best to check with a pool place just to be 100% sure.

Sorry, my emails got buried... It should be more than enough to keep that pool pretty. Try taking a piece of 1.5" and 2" pool hose to the ports. I think this pump will work with both sizes. If they fit or, can be adapted, you should be good. Make sure there will always be continuous flow to the pump though. All the pump is going to do is draw water, filter it and push it back into the pool. I'll look around and post if I find anything.
