Great sand filter and pump. Unlike Intex, this brand actually moves the gph as it reads or at least it does with this pump. Cycles the water very effectively. Great pump pressure for proper circulation and filtering. Power cord is probably the shortest I've ever seen. Should've at least came with a 6 ft. Cord. Pump hole alignment when bolting to the plastic base was a little off but able to bolt it in with some finesse. The filter lid is a pain in the gluteus maximus to get on and off but once I figured it out, there's nothing to it. There's no drain for the air in the line after the removal/ reinstallation of the filter lid but once I figured out that it rids itself of the air with the restart of the pump, I was fine with it. If you are hooking this up to a best way, summer waves, Coleman etc above ground pool, you will need to purchase the fittings from your local pool supplier or like I did on Amazon. The sand filter and pump is Metric threads and the pools hoses are Standard threads. Again the pump and sand filter are great and work as it should. There's just a few things mentioned that need to be reconsidered for quality improvement. Aside from those I very highly recommend this pump and sand filter to anyone needing this within the gph requirements. Would definitely buy again.
