Review: More than satisfied - We have used this pump for 2 years now. We have a 24 ft. round and this pump does an amazing job. Keeps that water moving nicely to keep my water clean and clear. It is a super easy install and winterization process. It looks nice and sure saved us a lot of money. We are more than satisfied.
Review: Has been great so far! - We have a square best way 10 foot by 6 foot 3 foot deep pool. We had some pretty crappy weather here in Pennsylvania in the month of June. The pool was covered a lot with a tarp because we had a lot of 70s temperatures with a lot of rain. When we went to take the cover off of the pool, the one day, the water smelled, was aqua colored, and mosquito larva had infested it swimming all around. It was gross and the pool was unswimmable. We went that day and got pool chemicals and doused the water and bugs. Chlorine, shock, and algicide. We had an upgraded larger paper filter, filter on our pool. (Also bought from desertcart) After days of having it running and putting the chemicals in the pool it still was not clean or clear. It turned more bluish, but you could not see through it all and it still smelled like a pond. We then went and got clarifier. We ended up putting clarifier in the pool two different times because the pool still was not clear and looked milky and foggy. We thought we were going to end up having to drain the pool after a few weeks of not being able to get it back to normal. We kept adding chlorine every couple of days to try to correct the smelly aqua tinted water. Although all the bugs eventually did die and disappear. My daughter was upset because I wouldn't let her swim in it. Lol We needed a solution. I started searching online for a solution and read that we may need a stronger, pool filter or a sand filter, and that the water may not be getting enough filtration or circulation. I came onto desertcart and bought this sand filter. It took my husband a couple of hours to get it hooked up properly and put together. We let it run all night and checked the pool the very next morning and it was already 1000 times better. The next day after that the pool was blue and clear again!! Finally swimable!! had went through so many headaches within about three weeks to try to get our pool back to normal and apparently all we had to do was buy a small sand filter. It has been working perfect, and has a great amount of power for our pool. If something ends up happening with it, I will update my review but so far it has been great for us!! Picture attached is after leaving it run just for one night! Last photo is what we originally had on our pool.

### ⭐ Bad leak. Not really compatible w/ Bestway, NO TIMER, NO GFI. UPDATE: PUMP LEAKS!
*by R***2 on June 25, 2024*

UPDATE 1: It's been about one whole hour of run time, and the pump housing is leaking. There are drips forming where two pieces of factory seamed plastic meet. Guess I have to get a replacement. What a waste of time. Update 2: the leak is even worse now. See video. A drip per second, even with the pump off. No word from the seller. ORIGINAL: I just finished the installation of this sand filter. I'm a pretty competent guy with plumbing and electrical (heck, I built a 16kw grid tie solar array from the ground up by myself over the course of a few weeks)....but this was a kinda poor install experience and had me just shaking my head at the dumb design decisions they made and their advertising. For starters, I ordered this because it was advertised and strongly hinted that it was plug and play compatible with Bestway pools. It's not. For that you need to buy extra parts, which I didn't know until AFTER I finished the install and came inside to write this review. So if you have a Bestway pool, go get the adapters you need. It would have made installation MUCH easier. Secondly, the threaded pipe adapters to which you add the included flexible tubing is not nearly long enough for the tubing supplied. The tubing has a raised ring/lip around the outside, which sits about 1/4" from the edge. Presumably this is to accept a rubber o-ring....but those aren't supplied. The adapter to which you affix this tube to is only about 3/4" long. Seems fine, but you can't use the hose clamps anywhere on top of that raised lip on the tube because it leaks, so your hose clamps are literally sitting partially over the tiny bit of adapter that remains and partially over empty parts of the piping. They're also a little too large, so you have to tighten them quite a bit to stop the leaks...It seems very flimsy, and took quite some time to get it to stop leaking. I would recommend carefully cutting off that raised lip so you can snug the tubing fully onto the adapters and affix the hose clamps properly. There are also not enough hose clamps provided...I needed to go find several more to attach everything. You need to wrap the threads with teflon tape at least 15-20 times before it'll make a good seal. The threads are just far too loose and wobbly. Also, they include large o-rings (which aren't mentioned anywhere in the instructions)...put these overtop of the male threads for the adapters and squish em down a bit when you thread them onto the filter. There is NO TIMER! There is no built in GFI protection! The barebones pump my pool came with had both of these features, plus a very long cord. This cord is pretty short, so you're going to need an additional cord, timer, and GFI protection. If you aren't concerned with keeping your old pool pump, you could get a female extension cord kit, cut the cord from the old pump and wire it up as an extension cord for this pump. That would give you the protection and length is should have included. Suction seems great, however, and is working quite well with the skimmer I installed. I expect this will be significantly better than the Bestway filtration system. However, in hindsight I would have searched around for a sand filter setup that was actually compatible with my Bestway pool instead of one that just pretends they are.
