Thanks for the feedback. I actually ended up buying a cartridge filter used on craigslist. It was $100, and I can't believe how much better of a job it does compared to my intex 2500 (which I thought did a great job). When I connected it (1 1/2" so connection was easy) I blew the return eye...

I will keep watching craigslist for a real filter, and hold off on this one i guess. @mcoonan - with your 3 2x20 solar setup how much temp rise can you get in a day? I ask because my 16x48 is similar in size and you are also in the north (michigan here) ... just running my 3 2x20 panel (sun...

I currently have the intex 2500 on a 16x48 ultra frame and it does a great job with lots of pressure ... but it is really loud. I was curious if there were any real reviews of the Intex sand filter...

Well ... it looks like I have solved my own problem ... more simple that I had first thought. One thing that I did not realize was that the black rubber piece that comes out of this little pools is actually 1 1/4" (there is a little insert that attached to it that makes a a bigger...

New to this site a few weeks ago, and have learned a ton ... thanks for all the info. Now I have a question I haven't seen asked ... I am trying to add a sunheater (2'x20') solar collector to my 16' x 42" easy set pool. I have upgraded the filter to the 1500 so I had to use the Intex adapters...
