    Intex Sand filter pump losing return flow after an hour

    I have not. I guess what's confusing to me is after I shut off the pump for a couple minutes, it starts working fine again? If it IS organics, I just need to SLAM? But what if the pump won't run longer than an hour?

    Intex Sand filter pump losing return flow after an hour

    Hello, I have a really weird issue going on and I'm completely stumped. I have a Bestway 20 x 48 pool with a Intex 12" sand filter pump and a Intex SWG. I also have a Bestway wall mounted skimmer. I noticed about a week ago that after about half an hour my return is losing water pressure. After...

    Question about Intex/Bestway Wall Mount Surface Skimmer

    I just checked and I do have the hats! So, I just need to put that in the other side, so it blocks it up completely, correct?

    Question about Intex/Bestway Wall Mount Surface Skimmer

    We recently put up Bestway pool. I replaced one of the intake skimmers with a Intex wall mount skimmer. However, after watching some videos of people installing it, they are saying that I need to "block" the other intake hose (on Bestway/Intex pools there is 2 intake skimmers). But I'm not quite...

    Base ideas for new Above Ground pool

    Would you recommend insulation foam board? I can get a 4ft x 8ft sheet for about $8 at my local Menards. I would need 13 of them to cover a 20 x 20 square.

    Base ideas for new Above Ground pool

    I am putting up a 20x48 Bestway round pool this Saturday. I have a square 20ft x 20ft area that is all leveled, compacted down and ready to go. I've read about some people using insulation foam boards as a base. I'm looking into that, but I also found these at Harbor Freight: Anti-Fatigue Foam...

    Intex Sand Filter 2800 Won't turn on

    Thank you. I did try a search before I got on the forum. Wasn't much help. I thought I'd just check and see if anyone else had experienced this problem. I think it's a bad switch on the pump FWIW.

    Intex Sand Filter 2800 Won't turn on

    Hello, I have an Intex sand filter/pump for my AGP. It's been working fine with no issues. I noticed tonight it wasn't running. I went out to look and the GFCI wasn't tripped. I checked and the outlet is working. The switch had been working with no issues before that. I'm not sure what else to...
