Can this only be used with Intex pools, or will it work with other brands?

Coincidentally, I have a new, unopened one if you are in in the market. I am a general contractor and have many extra parts, materials and supplies. william

It is great. It can work with all pools. May need to purchase hose adapters at a pool store? But it will function in principle with any pool.

Should work with appropriate size pools, and the same connections ... or the ability to adapt the hose connections.

A chlorinator works by virtue of the chemistry between electrolysis, salt and water, it is has nothing to do with the pool brand. The only consideration is the type of connections. Intex tends to use its own fittings but it is not difficult to convert the inlet and outlet to match any plumbing combination. Youtube has every imaginable instruction guide to accomplish this.

Cherly, I ordered from Intex too but ordered the replacement for the pool type as the skimmer came with that particular pool so it would match up. I never even measured the width of it and it came in fine and fit. I would go that route as they have many intex pools. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does. I just researched the pool online and it indicates that the 12' intex pool takes an A cartridge. These cartridges are good for A or C.

I have the Intex 1600 gph and it works great on my 18' round. It is powerful and keeps the pool crystal clear!

It uses the same 1 1/2 Intex flex hoses that seem to come with most of it's pools. It has a full set of hoses and even new adapters that go into the pool sides. It is a much better design for the electrical parts, copper element, flow meter, and chlorine chamber, but motor started throwing a bearing after 30 days and just quit completely yesterday after 3 1/2 months of 4hr/day operation. I already had a new motor assembly sitting in garage that Intex shipped overnight when I heard the bearing noise. Hope it last more than 3 1/2 months!

Yes this can be used with any above ground pool depending on the size of your pool outlets. You may need to purchase adapters.

I'm not sure about your specific pool, but I have an Intex 18' Easy Set pool, and I was able to cobble up something by taking a trip to the plumbing section of my local hardware store. Cost about $15 in fitting for me, but it works like a charm and since it is below the water, no one notices it. The fountain is great. Really adds a nice feature, for a low cost.

It does come with the hose, it is in sections that screw together making it easier to store. As to wether it would work with a non intex pool, there is an adaptor that screws on to the pumps return port for the hose to connect to. If you can find a way to connect the hose to your pools return line it should work, provided you meet the flow requirements.

Yes, we just bought this pool and contracted it to an intex sand filter and saltwater system. We had the sand and salt water system last year and it worked great. We didn't have to use any other chemicals and it stayed clear and clean. Great setup.

No you will not need this if you have the Intex pool. This item is for SE pools that have a skimmer hanging outside the pool. so dont buy this. I have a SE pro serise pool and bought a same filter system like yours to replace the cheapie pump that came with the pool and this is exactly what i need. Fyi this 16" pump takes 150lb of sand and just enough to filled to the right level hope this helps

Lyndie - I am not sure what size pump comes with that pool but I have larger Intex pool and I needed to buy a more powerful filter. I bought a sand filter from Amazon. I believe you can buy the saltwater system and the filter together. I didn't because I had already bought the salt water system from Walmart.

The connections are set up to screw easily on to the pump outlet for the intex pools, but you could easily adapt it for other above ground pools if you are handy.

I used it with that exact pool. It worked great. You set up the pool and let it fill. Then screw the braces on the side right above the pool ledge. Wait til it's full. Otherwise, the frame sinks a little and the braces aren't sitting on the ledge. I am using it with an INTEX 20ft X 52in and it works great with that, I just moved the braces.

You would need to contact Intex directly, although I bet it's easier to just buy another pool

I used for another type of pool ( not Intex) a large tarp and I attached medium size rocks ( you can use pretty much any sort of weights for that purpose) with wire at four side of tarp in the middle and the corners I would tuck under the pool. Still you have to make sure the Intex can support this set up-mine had an inflatable rim so it worked perfectly fine.

Best answer would be, probably not. You would have to know what type of threading is on your non Intex equipment and what type of threading Intex in using. This type of hose screws onto the pump inlet and outlet as well as the side of the pool.

I use this pump on my Intex pool and have been using the vacuum that came with the pool. It works really well because the filter system has such great suction. I would think most systems would work equally as well.
