Our Flowclear pool pump on our Bestway (Intex) Steel Pro above ground pool was making a loud grinding noise. I will show you how to disassemble and fix it, as well as how to clean dirty filters to use in the future and save money. This also applies to the Coleman Saluspa Lay-Z-Spa Pump Filter Motor if it is also making weird noises or not working, which is made in a very similar way to the Intex and Bestway pool filters. If your Saluspa isn't working, then take it apart and use the instructions in this video, too!

Transcript of video:
We have a really quality above ground pool -- just kidding, it's pretty cheap. Bought it for 500 bucks (circa pandemic prices). Gets a lot of use, our family loves it has a really, kind of, cheap pump with filters and these things are really kind of cheaply made it has a very cheap mechanism inside of it very plastic.
But before you get the urge to just throw it out, you can take it apart and fix it. This is sounding pretty good right now, it's running really well. It's got two intakes in it (sorry for the stuff floating on the top), but it's got two intakes and here is the outtake or whatever that's called.
See, if you can hear that it's supposed to just sound like this. It's not gonna ever be perfectly silent, but this is pretty good.
Before that, it was making a grinding noise and yours might be too, or it might not even be turning around at all, and I'll show you how to take it apart and clean it out and also to conserve money on buying filters. So, before you do anything you want to turn this off, so you're going to come over to here and you can just turn it off by hitting this test button and it'll shut it off. Then you're going to walk back over to your pool and you're going to pull these guys out (see if i can do it with one hand). Okay, put those off to the side and then you're gonna take you should get three of these with your pool and you're gonna put these in. If you don't have these,
try to find some other way to stop it up but that's what it'll look like so you're gonna do that with all three of these inlets and outlet, and then that will make it so you can disconnect this guy and so I have those plugs in all these outlets and inlets so the next thing you're going to do is you're going to take this off I'm just going to pull this off just twist it around
just like that water will come out that's okay you're gonna take this one off just rotate it around until it pops off and then the chambers will just empty and then you're gonna take this and just like when you're changing your filter you're gonna take this off um i usually loosen this a little bit then you're gonna take this off but I'm not gonna show this because i can't do it with one hand but i'll show it one i'm going to take this into my shop and show you what it looks like all right so i got this kind of drained out
