Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have a Coleman 18x48 pool that has the dual inlets. I just hooked up the hoses from the old cartridge filter pump that came with it directly to the new sand filter. Within 15 minutes it was moving stuff off the floor of the pool!! The setup sucked for me because I already had water in the pool and had to switch pumps with the water filled up. NExt year I’m sure it will be much easier. This is the larger one so you will need 3 bags of the 50# sand to fill it to the max line inside the large tank. I did not need to purchase anything extra to hook this up to my pool. I will update this review once we have had it run longer throughout the summer! Update 8/16/19. Super impressed with this pump. We use our pool almost daily. The pump circulated every 12 hours (12 hours on, 12 hours off). I vacuumed our pool our once a week, backwashed and rinsed through the filter. This was the first year my pool stay super clean. Cartridge filter it came with can’t compete with the sand filter pump. I only used chlorine in the float and shocked once a week after vacuuming. Never had a need to purchase additional chemicals like I did with the cartridge filter pump. The only thing I would add is a water shut off valve where the two inlet hoses are that suck water from the pool into the pump. Having one would make it easier when cleaning out the trap on the side of the pump. Outside of that we were incredibly happy and satisfied with our purchase!
