Intex 28651 16-Inch 3200-Gallon Sand Filter Pump
Sand filters are one of the most desirable methods to keep pool water clear and sparkling. The water from the pool flows through the pre-filter, up through the control valve, down through the sand filter media, up through the riser tube in the centre and out through the control valve back to the pool. Particles and contaminates in the pool water are trapped in the sand and clean water is returned into the pool.Not only does all-natural, inexpensive sand do an excellent job of filtering water, it needs replacement only once every five years. The sand filter pump system is suitable for residential above ground pool types with a volume of water up to 94,625 liters or 25,000 gallons. A residential sand filter system should be able to turn over the pool volume in approximately 8 hours. An undersized filtration system cannot keep up with the dirt and organic matter introduced into the pool. The Intex sand filter is strong enough for even the largest Intex pool.The system includes two hoses of 38mm (1.5in) diameter, two plunger valves fittings and two adaptors B to fit smaller size pools with 32mm (1.25in) diameter hose fittings that are compatible with Intex swimming pools. If used with other brands of swimming pools, additional fittings will be required.
