New pump stopped working

I am soooo new to this. Forgive me if I'm doing this wrong. I have a Coleman 5100gal pool..the pump has yet AGAIN stopped working. Warranty out. Can i replace with intex sand filter pump?

Hello and welcome to TFP! Colman and Intex products are very similar in sizes and such, therefore you should have no problems replacing your band pump with the Intex pump/sand filter combo. Good luck, and have a nice weekend.

Oh thank you so so much! You have just made my day?? I'm in Orange beach, AL and ready to swim! Do you recommend what size pump? I should have learned more before buying a pool.. But since my brain aneurysm, I'm kinda of a impulse buyer. I thought "ooooo pool! Yeah!" bought it and then was like ... Oh ****.

For a pool your size, you have some flexibility since the pump/filter don't have to be extremely large. Still, it's always better to go slightly bigger for efficiency and hopefully less cleaning time. Here is one example of a popular Intex-type set-up: Amazon.com : Intex Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools, 3000 GPH Pump Flow Rate, 110-120V with GFCI : Swimming Pool Sand Filters : Patio, Lawn Garden.

I'm sure others will have some suggestions as well. Have a nice weekend.
