Thank you so much for this video! My son and I are such a visual learners so this was incredibly helpful. Enjoy your pool because we are certainly going to be enjoying ours with the new pump set up!
07:10 i thought it was an extra part😢.. sand in pool & backwash.. I seen others, but you're the only one to bring this up.. wasted 25 lbs of sand &2 days😅😢😢
I’ve had to replace the large rubber oring on the lid, the one on the twist valve on the lid, and the ones on the side at the beginning of every season. The crack and break fast. If that doesn’t work you might need a new lid.
I just bought one if these filters..thank you sooooo much for the easy instructions..I haven't opened the box yet so didn't know I had to put the dang thing together..have a question I don't have a plug close to the pool is it okay to use a heavy extention cord to the closest plug
From what I’ve read you can use one extensions cord but shouldn’t use more than one chained together. I’ve had mine on an extension cord all summer with no problems. Hope that answers your question. Good luck to you!
Interesting. I’m pretty sure that’s not what the filter manual or sand directions said but I could be wrong. If so that would be a pretty vital step I left out. I’ll check and report back.
The sand for filter use is sorted by granular size. To big and it will clog up the system, to fine and it will pass through the system and into the pool. It’s pricey but you never have to change it. Just backwash it regularly and it will do its job for a decade or more.
@@DunnDifferent thank you so much. My kids are on vacation already and I want to get ready. I just received my sand filter and I was getting ready to setup, but first, I find your helpful videos. Thanks
@@mariamartinez-rr5ss thank you for finding and watching them! Any academy, Lowe’s, Home Depot or pool store should have the filter sand you need. I don’t use a salt water system so I have to use a floating chlorine dispenser that I fill once a week or whenever it runs out. You can buy those at those same stores as well.
It’s titled “Above Ground Pool Deluxe Wall Mount Automatic Skimmer” on Amazon. It’s 27.99. To be honest I don’t use it because the it never a stays in place. The mount for the frame always slips and then it ends up sucking air and starving the pump. The only one I would buy now is the one you have to cut a hole in the pool for and I don’t want to do that so I just hand skim everyday now.
In the last video I reviewed my pool vacuum. Check it out and subscribe to see the next video in where I use this vacuum in conjunction with my new sand filter pump! ua-cam.com/video/_68FnVAZU9w/v-deo.html
Love this! We would love to collab with you! Is there any email address that we can reach out? Thanks! We have pool fountain, poolside basket etc. Look forward to your reply!
Thank you! Please never take this down. It helped me last year and this year. I appreciate you so much for this video tutorial. 🙌🏾👏🏽

@Happy Farms you got a shoutout from Billy!
This guy nailed it. Now make videos about each function of the pump please ser.
Thank you Billy D. Great video. I'm about to get mine assembled. Weeeee.
Lol
Nice bro. Great job. Very well done
07:10 i thought it was an extra part😢.. sand in pool & backwash.. I seen others, but you're the only one to bring this up.. wasted 25 lbs of sand &2 days😅😢😢
Oh no!!! That sucks! At least you figured it out! How did you get the sand out of the pool?
@@DunnDifferent vacuuming & net.. still not done😅🙃
I"m so confused. My intex pool only has 2 wholes. All the videos I am seeing with these sand pumps have 3 wholes. What am I missing?
You’ll need to use an adapter/splitter to get into that one hole or cut another hole. There’s a kit on Amazon to cut the extra hole.
Uhhh you don’t have the same pool as everyone else
You only need 2 holes. One for intake, one for outtake. He uses 2 for intake, one for his vacuum, one for skimmer. You don't need to.
Those skeeters makin noise in the background? 😮
Cicadas. They’re noisy down here in the summer.
Awesome instructions
Thank you! Glad they were helpful!
So helpful, thank you
Thanks is for this video I have to set mine up this weekend.
Well done
That was really nice...I will upgrade my pump next year....They cost more then I expected
Yeah we were gonna try and limp our cartridge pump through the rest of the summer and buy a sand filter next year.. maybe.
The Intex sand filters aren't that bad in price compared to the other brands.
Have you try the pool filter. Balls instead of the sand?
I haven’t seen those yet I’ll have to look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!
Great video. I have the same filter, but the basket part leaks at the top ring and I have air . Anything you can suggest

Thank you so much for the reply..
Did you not add water when putting in the sand? It state to pour some water for a cusion effect then add rest of sand.
Interesting. I’m pretty sure that’s not what the filter manual or sand directions said but I could be wrong. If so that would be a pretty vital step I left out. I’ll check and report back.
You are correct. It does say to add some water before adding the second half of the sand. I’ll make sure and update that in an upcoming update video.
Can it be the sand that i used to level the ground, or is a specific sand for filter only?

Was this a salt or sand filter pump? If so, what chemicals do you use for maintained .?

Good morning
How can I find a 24 “ cover for my bestway pool please thank you
Google
What was the exact skimmer you got?
It’s titled “Above Ground Pool Deluxe Wall Mount Automatic Skimmer” on Amazon. It’s 27.99. To be honest I don’t use it because the it never a stays in place. The mount for the frame always slips and then it ends up sucking air and starving the pump. The only one I would buy now is the one you have to cut a hole in the pool for and I don’t want to do that so I just hand skim everyday now.
Mine didn’t come with bolts either. I was 😡
How much sand did you pour in there? What size pool sand bags are those bad boys 🤷
I think it was 35lbs a piece but can’t remember exactly.
You only need the bolts if you want to mount the base !
Did you get rid of this, why?
Nope. Still the same one I just set up for summer in my last pool video.
How many pounds of sand did you use for your pump? I just ordered the same one and was wondering how much sand to use.
The pump instructions calls for 75lbs but the Clorox sand I used says to cut that in half. In actuality I used right at 50lbs.
What if I have a sun spring heater attached to the sand filter? HELP 😂
Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with pool heaters yet lol.
I put everything n is not working can u help me thank you
the holes are for screwing it down to a wood base
Every Video already has the hoses connected to the pool😭
They should just slip over the small piece of tube connected to the pool and then tighten down the hose clamps.
