I know your video is 3 years old but it was a ray of sunshine when I found it. I spent too much time watching videos claiming to show you how the pump works but never do so thank you sir.

Very nice tutorial! Precise, simple directions. Just what I was looking for, thank you so much! It seemed overwhelming to me until I watched your video!

Wow! Great video, my pool was so green from pollen the filter stoped working good. I watched this quick easy walk thru and my intex sand filter works perfect again and my pool is beautiful again. Thank you.

I just bought a intex, I was a little intimidad by all these settings. Man! you made this look so easy! Thanks bro!

Thank you so much for your video, clear instructions and tips. This actually saved me because my Intex Auto pool cleaner had stopped moving (common issue) and it turns out I needed to do a backwash and rinse of the sand filter. After I did that, the vacuum is shooting around the pool and cleaning up as it did brand new! Thanks again!

Thank you for this easy instruction video, I have been trying to get my pool cleared up all week! Hopefully this was the answer to help the problem! Ugh my next idea was empty it and be done! I think I got in it once all year to enjoy it not just clean it!!! Thanks again, it's much easier then the instructions made it sound! Thank God for people like you that ' show me how it confuse and scare me from doing it!!!

Easy sub homie, my filter wasn't pushing much water out, did what you showed from this video and now it's back to when like we first assembled, thank you.

Thank you so much for making and sharing this video. It was very helpful and useful. Our family was able to use this information to open our Intex above ground pool.

So many of these tutorials on KZfaq don't work, however this is definitely not one of them!! I had instant success, pool pump is working brilliantly. Can't thank you enough. 👍

Such a clear explanation of all my questions. Thanks!

Excellent instructions and visual. Thank you and well done!! Semper Fi.

Amazing video! New pool owner and its all rocket science to me lol.. Ive been dreading learning about this pump, your video made it much easier! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much. Great video! Straight to the point. So helpful

So clear now. Thank you.

To the point and well explained!

I watched both your videos and thank you very much. Well done and great info

Well explained and short. Nice

Thanks for posting. Very helpful.

Thanks a lot, I didn't know about the rinse after backwash and always ended up with fog coming out at first! ! 🎉

Thank you for posting this excellent video

Great tutorial! Thanks

I literally made it through last summer using only the Filter, Backwash, and Waste functions. The pool was flawless all season. This spring, the large tree hanging over the pool dumped about 4-billion seeds during the heavy pollen weeks (something that didn't occur last year due to the hot, early onset of spring.) It took a lot of straining and skimming both the surface and the bottom in an effort to collect this virtual Mardi-Gras of seeds in order to vacuum safely and efficiently. I've been struggling to get my cloudy water to clear up this year, never once realizing how important the Rinse function would be. All that sediment and collected debris had been hampering the sand inside the filter itself. The moment you activated the Rinse function, the (previously ignored) lightbulb went off and I realized that I had been neglecting a very crucial step. If failure is the key to wisdom, I'll be a virtual road-scholar in no time. 🤷 Thanks for the video... It's a great help!

Great vid, very helpful!

Thank you for such a great video. Very clear instructions that even I can understand.

Thanks! Great tutorial.

Thank you , very well done

Excellent video

Thank you so much for this great video! The instructions that came with my Intex filter were useless.

Very helpful. Thanks Bro.

Perfect thanks

Super helpful. Thank you.

Beautiful video. Faith in humanity temporarily restored.

We have 3 they are great (and nice guy too). Always buy local.

Nice video, I just bought an above ground pool, and I’m doing a little research before hand.

Thank you for this video hi from San Francisco California

Thanks a lot the video helped me out a lot.

Thanks for the tips!!

Great job

Thanks great video help me a lot

Best informational video

Thanks for this. I just bought a home that had a coleman above ground pool and this intext sand filter. Didn't know how to use any of this, but you've helped tremendously. The pool got all green and nasty when the owners left and had power turned off. Also a few leaks in the hoses for some reason and now it's filtering. Not sure how long this should take though lol

So helpful thank you!

Thank You

Good tutorial.

Excellent

This video is BOSS!

Thank you

Thank you the instructions don’t really tell you how long each process take’s… 👍

Thank you!

Cheers mate 👌

Thank you!!

Thank you 🙂

my intex pump started having high pressure on backwash and I figured out that the sand screen on the bottom of the valve assembly was clogged with dogwood. I had to take the valve assembly off and remove this screen that is held on with two screws and clean it. I actually have tried this summer running it with the screen removed and we will see how much sand I lose but that dogwood was all in the sand and I had to backwash without the screen to get rid of the dogwood pollen. The screen is thier I beleive to catch the sand and keep it from leaving the tank durring backwash so I might be losing sand over time but at least I don't have to constantly take the thing apart to clean all that nasty cotton like stuff out of thier and pool sand is fairly cheap still.

well explained , thank you so much

😊thank you xx

Thank you 🙏 How often do you back wash?

Great instructions! Thanks for the vid. New SUBSCRIBER here.

Worked Wonders!

Thank you for the tutorial as it’s our 1st summer with the INTEX 3000 GPH Krystal Clear Sand Filter & Pump. Right out of the box, ours was actually below the green- and after doing a back wash/ rinse cycle last night, it’s in the high part of the green…? Do you need to bleed all of the sediment valves after finishing the backwash/ rinse cycle prior to putting the pump on to filter? Also, where did you purchase your skimmer? Is that after market I’m presuming? We thought the pool would pump better with the 1 1/2 (vs. the 1.25”) inch fittings which we changed to this year, but are still really not getting that much suction. Trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong. Thanks Again 😊

Great video, but I can't get the drain cover off. Any suggestions?

Hi do you use the electric for the skimmer or do you let the sandfilter do the job?

I would urge people to take note of where their pressure gauge steadies out at after a few minutes of initial use. I'm sure there's quite a bit of variance in terms of the accuracy of the pressure gauges, but the delta is all you really need to pay attention to.

Great Video Thank you Help me out...

can I see what your collection bucket looks like when you are running you pump? Should there be bubbles or should the water be still with no circulation in the bucket?

Do you need to do this at start if you use filterballs insted of sand ?

My filter doesn't seem to have very high pressure after backwash. It barely registers on the 'green'. Maybe a one or two. What should I do?

Thank you. I just got mine set up and it runs fine for a little while but looses pressure. I did the release of air and it seems better but not like it was. was I supposed to do anything after it initially filled up upon setup? we just started it up. Thank you for any help you can give me.

How do you do chlorine for pool? Just bought a 22 ftx52” intex w sand filter pump. Never had a sand filter pump.

When I first installed my sand filter I missed the step in the manual to backwash and rinse first. Of course all the dust particles shot into my pool. Hopefully it clears up soon

So when you do these steps, does it waste a lot of water out of the pool? And if so, do I need to fill the pool up to the level where it is supose to be throughout the summer ?

We have similar sand filter from intex. Mine doesn’t flow like that strong when I switch to backwash or rinse mode.

I was hoping to discover what are the mechanics of rinse and back flush.

Hi there, thank you for posting this video, so I’ve just completed the cycle as your video describes but I noticed for you the water slows down almost coming to a complete stop when your placing the drain cap back on, but for me the water is still gushing out heavy enough to make it a little difficult to get the cap back on, is that normal? Thanks for the help 😊

Thank you for not giving me a 20min you covered everything in 5min

So we are just starting our pool back up, it’s pretty dirty, do I shock it first and filter it then backwash it after and rinse it then put back onto filtration? Or do I backwash it and rinse before shocking it and filtering it?

Do you backwash before first use?

My inlet jet is having bubbles come out with the water. The water level is fine. I just installed the pump since I just got the pool. And I also just put chemicals in the pool a few hours ago. What do you think is causing the bubbles to come out of my inlet jet ?

This video is very helpful since this is the first time I have a pool. But im having an issue, I have the setting on filter but no water is coming out, but if I put it on the N water comes out. What can I do??

I have a intex sand filter and when I use the backwash it does not spit the water out at a high speed when I turn Motor on? I feel like it's not back washing properly.

What does the letter "N" stand for on the settings cover? Also, I just backwashed my pool and rinsed as per your video/owners manual. I still have some sand left in the sight glass. This is a brand new pool out of the box about 2 weeks ago. Help?

Hey bro how are you so I have intex pump and always beeping and said low pump flow ,

After my backwash, the 6 way valve is extremely tight. I cant turn to rinse. Did I do something wrong along the way?

Hey hi video is awesome but my question is that my intex 3000 wros and all but it's making a louder noise more than usual when running not sure what ti do about it its annoying

Excellent explanation. Can you please help? I have my valve stuck after a backwash, cannot move into any setting. Any suggestions?

Hi Nick - how often is it recommended to do the backwash and rinse?

What if the sight glass never shows clear water? Keep backwashing until it does? My pool was recently very green and was just shocked so now it's cloudy blue.

Why do I have to backwash my filter about every 3 days? Will the type of sand affect that? I bought the Pool Filter Sand thet they sell in Lowes as no one else have anything these days.

How do you have the skimmer outlet hooked to the pump. What's that part with the 2 metal clamps

All setting is perfect, bit why my filter just dont start? Where im wrong? I have sent back one filter as i thought its not working, but havng same problem with the sec one too. Plz guide.. it just doesn't strt working.. light is there, power is on, i can select hours but it just doesn't strt working

Nice video, what is the size of the drain outlet should I want to drain the water away from the pool? I would need to buy a valve and attach a hose. Thanks

Where dd you get the big Skimmer. I have a 24x12 . With two very small gravity feed Skimmer, If thats what they are called. I had an inground before I moved .

When I complete my backwash and rinse and then turn my filter back on, a bunch of dirty water goes into the pool. How can I keep this from happening? Am I not doing a long enough backwash or rinse?

What model intex are you working with. I notice the legs are not as protruding as the model we have. Thanks.

Hello, I have a sand pump but the writing on the top showing backwash, filter etc has worn off. How do I know which is which?

My krystal clear sand filter is a little different the manual does not recommend to turn the filter on during backwash and rinse should the filter be on as you instructed in the video the intex Costner service is horrible...thanks

We just but ours together and did the backwash and rinse wen we switched to filter sand started going in the pool do u throw that could have went wrong

Tnx😅

Nice video . I do have a question my pool filter seems to lose pressure so we have to backwash it every two to 3 days . Do you have any advice. On what to do.

What setting Should I have my sand filter while vacuuming?

Our sand filter, similar to yours, barely gets above 1-2 psi, we use pvc piping, any suggestions?
