Beware unless you are buying as like for like replacement
this may be a great product but due to a lack of important information on the sales page , I was unable to use !!I purchased this as a major upgrade for my 10ft intex poolHowever no pool inlet/outlets are supplied so a further purchase exceeding £100 would be required to use this pump/filterThis information is nowhere to be found on the advertisement!!!!

It's good . . .just not good value
It does what is says, only gets 4 stars as it's still expensive and I bought it a few months ago when it was much cheaper, it does keep the water crystal clear, but you do need to buy filter media, I got a bag of glass and it only used half , compared to the cartridge filter that came with the pool it's night and day but this also a change in pipe size for me so there is more expense in adapters, so a few good points and a few bad, if they provided all the extras for the price you pay I would give it 5 stars

Noisy filter
Intex customer service have been terrible. Ours started making a terrible noise as soon as you switch the filter on and tried to contact Intex on numerous occasions.

Requires expensive adapters and a 3 pin plug fitting.
Can't use it yet as it wasn't made clear when purchasing that we would require 2 adapters (costing over £37).We have an Intex pool amd was led to believe you only needed adapters if you had a non-Intex pool.It should state clearly that if your pool connectors are 32mm, then you will need adapters; then you can measure your connectors, and purchase the adapters at the same time, or not, as the case may be.Also, ours came with a 2 pin plug, which is obviously useless and requires more work than I feel is needed (to fit a new plug).Selling for the UK market, you would think it came with the appropriate plug.

No basket
I ordered this for my 12ft bestway steel max pro pool as the pump that comes with these is terrible. this arrived however on the product page is says there following:t features: 6 function valve for filtering, backwashing, rinsing, recirculating, emptying and stopping 24hr cycle timer Pressure Gauge Strainer Basket Safety shut-offHowever there was no strainer basket, This wasn't a issue as I gave a skimmer on the pool however I noticed the pipe leading the sand filer was damaged so I had to return this the second one arrived with no problems and has been on since keeping the pool nice and cleandispite the teething issues and this not coming with a UK plug great pump,

Illegal
comes with an unfused 2 prong plug which is not compliant to british standards , had to purchase a separate euro plug just so I could use the pump , but again you have to but a Europlug that is fused or its still illegal , also filter housing and pump come separate and are to be bolted together , no bolts supplied either , fortunately I have garage with bits and bobs everywhere , pumps up and running and seems to be doing a good job.

Great pump, but euro plugs for UK
This product came with a euro plug to the UK !! I had to purchase an adaptor to be able to use it , cost me another £7 quid!! Not a lot but annoying...also one of the parts was damaged in the box, it was bent but I think it will still work, so I have given it a try.The pump is great we have a 2mx3m above ground pool and its power is great much better than one of the £60 best way ones. Only had it running a few days but it appears to be working great.Also I'm not using the sand I'm using the reusable cotton balls and they appear to working just fine.Bearbro Pool Filter Balls 1400g, Equivalent to 50 kg Filter Sand, Swimming Pool Cleaning ball,Fiber Filter Media for Swimming Pool Sand Filters Media Water Filtering, Eco-Friendly, Lightweight https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08N1DX6ZY/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_HSQ606BHSCJZPQCQETMC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
