You might need to go to the doctor because its not meant for Intex. But easily adaptable. I suggest you add some Vaseline or plumbers tape

We did change ours when it was full. it was super simple (with our intex pool), all we had to do was unscrew the hoses from the paper filter pump and set up the sandfilter and reconnected the hoses. took us all of maybe 1 hr to do, start tofinish. We even changed out our plungers (had some water loss with that but not a lot...we used a bowl to cover the inside opening probably lost a total of 10-12 gallons doing that).

Hey Debby,The answer to your question is yes. my pool is 27x52 and it also works like a charm. You do not need to change your sand filter either. You just mount the box and plumb in the chorinator. It paid for itself in the last half of last summer. Hope this helps..

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.

Just salt from the pool supply store and lots of it. You add it at the beginning of the summer and that's it for the season. Amt, type and filter operation is in the instruction manual. You also need to buy 50lbs of filter sand for the filter.

sand filter pump is not necessary, I used the pump that came with the pool and bought the salt water system separately.

It takes 350lbs of filter sand. It's a very uniform sized sand made for the filter. I bought my sand at a pool supply wear house, however, they do sell it at walmart.

When we first installed our pump, we thought that the sand was shooting out too, but it was only the sediment. (Make sure you rinse the sand before you put it in the filter.) Follow the instructions and make sure the filter is in the correct position. You need to "backwash" the filter to rinse it out, which cleans the sand for better operation.

my adapters were purchased for a pool. But when water wasn't clear I had to improve water circulation. I also have a filter pump and not sand Hope this helps.

Dont know. This filter will only work for a small pool reguardless what they claim. I finally went to a sand filter and the water is very clear and very little work to maintain it.

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

If it is a sand filter you should be able to use it. It replaces sand on 1:1 ratio.

Sand is either to high in the filter, to much sand, or the tube inside the filter isnt seated correctly or possibly damaged. But it needs to be in the filter possision

You can rinse the sand by hand in a sieve ( I recommend that) before you install the filter until the smaller particles are flushed away. Or you could remove the backwash cap and turn the dial to rinse to rinse the sand while already in the filter. Also...after you backwash to waste you should turn the dial to rinse the sand before going back to normal operation.

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

You will not have to change your sand filter and pump because this will install after those items. As to whether this will be large enough to produce enough chlorine for your pool, I am not sure. I would suggest going to their website and checking on the recommended sizes. I can say that I have a 15x30 oval that is 52 inches deep and this unit is more than enough. I keep the settings on the lower end.
