This was purchased to upgrade from the Bestway pump and filter that came with our above ground pool. I can honestly say that I’m quite satisfied with the results. This pump moves a lot more water, is much quieter and has more features than the Bestway. Since the filter is much larger than the original I don’t have to backwash it nearly as often as before. The set up of this equipment was easy and the instruction were adequate, not great. It’s been about a month since the installation and I’m very pleased with my purchase. I hope it lasts for a few years, it looks well made. It’s not a StayRite or a Hayward or Pentair but it’s definitely an upgrade from the Bestway or Intex. Only time will tell if it last but I have a good feeling about this one.
