I would love to see a slow mo view of how your pumps are all hooked up. I started watching your videos when I got my pool two years ago. Loved the window tips! But I need exact visuals on trying to hook up all my filters 🤣 I think I’ve purchased everything you have! Sunshades are the bomb!!!

Really appreciate the effort. Great informative video. Happy pool days friend. I'm ordering one soon.

Thank you so much for this video. 🇺🇸

Excited about the skimmer video!

I thought I got the 12 in through Amazon but when I just checked my box, it's the 10 inch. Lol. Woooops!

Talk about a little more for the 16". I just bought the 12" off Amazon for $329. It gets delivered tomorrow. Looked today to get a few dimensions and seen they have the 16" for under $300. Thinking I need to send 12 back when it gets here and order the 16.

I've been waiting for more pool videos! Lol. I've been telling my wife how most of the things I've been doing is from ideas you have. I showed her one of your older videos with the waterfall and she's debating about it or having me rig up since other type of feature. Plan to use the junk pump to run the water feature

Thank you for all of your super valuable info! I am reading some horror stories about people who have had the sand enter the pool because it was too small of a grain. They said they are using official pool sand- zeosand, fairmount minerals,#20 grade. I see you used Polmetto sand- i saw it on amazon but it didnt have any reviews. Is that my best bet? I ordered the Intex 2800 sand filter and a Bestway Power steel Vista 18 feet pool. This will be our first pool, I have been watching your videos. Just trying to give the kids something to do during the quarantine

Thank you for your channel! We purchased the 12" filter after watching your reviews and absolutely love it. For the 16" pump, the price will be hit or miss with Amazon. Currently the price is at $379. Im sure you purchased it when it was only $189. I would suggest anyone looking to buy it to just be patient and wait for the price to drop. Do not buy unless it is at the $189 price point. The 12" pump is more than enough for my 18x48" Coleman.

Well let agree to disagree? :) Recomending a 300$ sand-pump is easy,but I would argue its not the right thing for most people. There are few considerations to be made: 1.For moderate climate where swim season is only 3-4 months. It just don't make sense to throw 300$ for e pump. Paper cartriges can last from expirience a month if taken care of! Even if we change it every 2 weeks that's 12 to 16 pieces at most! So 60-80$ per season. You'll need 4 seasons at least to make the difference to the sand-pump. Which lead me to the second point... 2.Longevity! In my decade of using Intex,never ever a cartrige pump failed me! I still had very old ones(as a reserve), since every new pool comes with the new pump. Many people can attest to this. While for the sand-pumps(I havent used them to be honest),many people complains that their pumps brokes after 2-3 years on average. And we already concluded that 4 season is the time just to broke even with it over the cartriges. 3.Third point I want to make is'nt going to be about money or investment,but rather useful expirience with the pumps. One 1000 gallons/hour pump can and will filter and maintain cristal clear water for any pool up to and including 15ft one! I know it from expirience. And if anyone is complaining that it cannot do that, than... that person must be doing something wrong,or is just too lazy to maintain a pool! (And let be honest,many intex owners are like this) 4.As larger pools comes kited with the sand-pumps,the only pools left in the middle would be the 18-21ft ones which (future owners)may find it usefull to know beforehand that they need to invest in large capacity sand-pump. Cheers

Thanks man for the info very much appreciated

Love your videos ~ I hope your pool has held up better than ours. We got 2 seasons out of it ~ those windows are the death of these pools. Also, we just purchased a Blackstone for camping and home as well. Stay safe 😊

You remind me so much of Paul Williams it's freaky!

I'm in Mississippi to man

I'm a bit of a fluid dynamics nerd myself. I got the pool for the wife and kids, but the pump setup is for me. I would like to see a video on your pump setup. Thanks! Keep putting out the good info on these bestway pools.

Greetings from Tampa! We just set up the same pool you have and your videos have been so helpful. We have been getting sand blown in pool when we first turn on the pump (2800 intex sand filter) after reading and researching videos I think we may have found the issue. We got the Clorox filter sand thinking it would be great. This lady has described our issue to a t, so we are going to empty our sand filter and put new sand in, the #20 it states to use to begin with. Curious where did you purchase your sand and how much did you put in yours?

Thanks for your reviews, they are very helpfull, Do you have a video about the maintenance you do for your pool, we have the same pool and I am wondering about what quemicals and how often should we use them

I have the same pool as you have in your video except my pool came with the skimmer.I bought the 12in sand pump and it seems to struggle with moving the water in this size pool would the 14in sand pump do a better job? Not really trying to buy a 16in..

Trashed the Intex pump sand filter was too small for my pool got the Harris 1.5 cartridge filter 6000 gal hr

We leave our OEM filter on all the time with no issues

What horse power is 16 inch

Quick question... I have the same as you, big pump and same pool. After a quick dust storm, the dirt in the bottom can’t be vacuumed up. When I try, the dirt just goes through the pump and blows back out into the pool making things worse. How can I vacuum the pool? Any suggestions?

I have a question. I am trying to decide on a filter for my stock tank pool. I am looking at the 10" and the 12". It is a 8' x 2' tank. Will the 12" be too much? Will the 10" be ok? It is a .25 HP. I've calculated it at 752 gallons.

How about the 10 inch?

Would the 1.25 to 1.5 adapter restrict water flow enough to cause a performance issue or would it be better to just cut hole for the 1.5 line? My pool is the 15’x48” Intex at 4,440 gallons at 90 percent and was looking at the 14” sand pump. enjoyed the reviews very informative.

How do you feel about Hayward? They have a comparable 12" sand pump/filter for under $300 would really like to know if you have experience and/or what you think about them. Is the price difference worth it, is Hayward junk compared to Intex? Thanks in advance dude!

I am having a problem with my intex sand filter, on backwash it comes fast then drops low barely coming , on rinse full power high water coming out , can you pls help me tyvm

I ordered the 16in Intex sand pump with the digital timer. They did not send me the new model but the 2018 model without the digital timer. It will take another two weeks to get the one with the digital timer. Is the digital timer that much better than the 2018 model?

Thank you for your videos! So now that the 12" pump is sold out everywhere - or jacked way up in price - I don't even know what the pre-pandemic price was...can you give me an idea? And if I can't find one before summer, would something like 'The Circulator' work with the existing pump?

I'm going to buy the 16 in,it will be my first sand filter.my question is: how does the Harsco glass media $44. forty pound bag work with this model? price is fine for me

Just found you, thoroughly enjoying your videos. Question, have you ever converted your pool into Salt water? Is salt water OK to use with the Coleman Vista to pool. We bought the same size you have. Just got it for days ago. :-) getting ready to set up probably the next couple days.

We have the 18ft Coleman pool as well and I just ordered the 12in Intex filter you recommended, but will this just hook right up or are there any adapters I will need?

Bout a 12" for a 22' x 52" in your opinion is this adequate??

Did you use the original nozzle and plunger valve that came with the pool or the one that came with the 16in 3000?

Would the 10in work? There are no 12in available. Thank you for all the information. We just set up the same pool today!

Also will the 16 inch hook right up with hoses that come with the pool?

What do I need to connect my 1 1/4 to the 1 1/2 that comes with the sand filter pump

i really want to know how loud when its operated cuz i dont want to get my neighbour mad.

I have an Intex 16ftx48in (that comes with a 10in sand filter pump) this pump is right to this pool size?

I got a old Hayward pump it says HP 1.5 on motor and my sand filter holds 100 pounds of sand how long should I run it on a 16 x48 pool

What kind of sand do you recommend and where can I find it?

Which pump is better for the 22x52 intex Coleman pool? Thank u

How about the 14"?

Great video! I'm getting ready to order a sand filter right now. What do you think about zeosand vs the regular pool filter sand?

Do these pumps need to be covered and protected from the sun?

I have a 22 x52 can I keep the original One ?

LMAO, If you want the link to the little pump, you gonna have to go to someone else"s video. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Gotta love our Southern Brothers (strait shooters).
