I just recieved the Intex Krystal clear 1500 sand pump for above ground pools. I know it's going to work awesomely because I've used Intex products before and their made so good and very sturdy plastics. This one has 6 functions a filtration, circulation, backwash, drain,rinceand close system. It also has a digital energy saving timer with a daily filtration up to 12 hrs cycles. It also carries a 25 ft power cord with built in GFCI for protection.  I really think the kiddos are going to love the new pool and I'm going to love the pump that's going to make cleaning the pool so much easier.
