Thank you for all your videos, I watched nearly all of them at least once the past 2 weeks while setting up my pool and that same filter pump and the videos were super valuable

Ur video was the only I could that gives step by step instructions thank you

Just finished setting mine up today! Thanks Dad!

I'm so glad we looked at this video. The instructions that came with the pool were impossible! We watched this and the whole pool assembly video. God bless you good sir ❤ 😅

Thanks! This was a great and SHORT video! My own dad set up our Intex sand filter last year but now I'm setting it back up after winter.

Just set this up and this video was my guiding light! THANK YOU!!

Thank you so much for this!❤

Thank you for the demonstration, awesome 😊

Thank you so much for this video! I was able to set the new pump up flawlessly thanks to your step by step help.

I’ve had this pool for two years. 100% recommend if you don’t want or have room for in ground.

Thanks for the videos. They helped tremendously when setting up my pool. You definitely made the process easier.

Awesome video! You made everything clear and easy.

Thank you so much for this video! It explains the instructions so well that it makes sense.

Thank you for the helpful video, as was able to complete setup. As I have installed to my new inground pool ( 13ft x 10ft x 4ft ), I have noticed in the week completed that the water is not drawing into skimmer box very strong ( minimal ),could this be caused by air getting into filter ?

This was really helpful.

Can you use an extension cord to to power the filter?

Hi - does this require a special outdoor outlet to plug in or will your standard outlet work? Thanks

Thanks for the video. It really helped.

Summers ending would the solar cover help to keep water warm or would do anything for warmth?

Hi Dale. I went through this video yesterday to start the pump/filter for the first time. It was a great help, thank you. We have 8400 gallons of water so I set it for 8 hours, and just like you said, off it went. Today it looks like the pump is off. No lights or anything. I know it should only run 8 hours, but is it supposed to look completely off like that? Is that how it is until the pump starts?

Thank you so much... great video.

New pump this year? Anything wrong with the one from Flow clear, last year?

With this pool compared to the bestway. Is hooking up the heat pad pointless?

Hello, I need help, for the first time, I use my pool with the filter and after 5 hours in the filter, I turn it off, the valve is stuck, it won't let me put it in any of the options, what can I do?

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video!!! I got the saltwater/pump combo to go w/our new Intex pool (instead of using the reg chlorine pump/filter) and since we're new to this I've had a heck of a time trying to find out if it's hooked up correctly & also how to turn everything on for the 1st time....this is the FIRST video I've found that explains EVERYTHING!!🤩 Now if I can get the storms/ torrential rain to stop for a bit maybe I can get it going. Thanks again!🤩

Thanks for the video.

So what's the difference between backwash and waste?

I'm having trouble putting the clamp on, the screw doesn't reach to tighten it down.

Hi... Can this pump work with an outdoor jacuzzi? Will the jets have power?

If it's new do you have to put in N?

I got a question does the leaf baskets screw on or is it just held them with pressure

You should ALWAYS turn your pump handle clockwise direction only, not back and forth...

There were no instruction manuals for it. How was I supposed to just know that you should only turn it clockwise? I mean, if I hadn't gotten a pool dude to teach me the ropes before I broke it.

Shuts off immediately? The circuit breaker tripping? Or it shuts off after a few hours, maybe the timer?

I'm used to running my regular filter pumps 24/7. Can I run the this exact sand filter 24/7 also? I have a 20x52 round Intex pool.

My pump doesn’t have the rinse option. What should I do after backwashing? Is the rinse necessary?

Where do you put the chlorine tablets?

Are you going to do a pool maintenance video for the Intex like you did last year for the Bestway? Loves the videos! Also did you consider getting the skimmer addon?

What is weight for this pool filled with water ? Thinking of putting it on a concrete slab

I did everything as you said and hooked mine up to a stock tank pool but am getting low pressure when i run the filter mode. The pressure is perfect on the recirculation mode but the filter mode runs fine for a few, then sounds like it stops sucking and it seems like there's air in the system. I redid all of your steps to try and get air out and nothing. I even took the cap off to make sure the O ring was seated properly. Any idea?
