    The new pump is in

    Linen, no leaks.. at least on those hoses, I do however have a couple of leaks at the threaded connectors, as I failed to follow the install instructions and double wrap the teflon tape, I only wrapped it once. I will fix that today. I came across a manual a week or so ago that showed what size...

    The new pump is in

    I received my new 3/4 hp pump in the other day and got it all connected yesterday, other than a minor leak around two of the threaded fittings "I did not wrap enough teflon tape around the threads" it is working fine. [attachment=2:303289jp]pump1.jpg[/attachment:303289jp] The filter is a 16"...

    Cleaning old Sand Filter

    Here is the location of the pump on the base, I do not know the model of the base unit, I do know it is a 16" hayward filter. I was able to also re-use the Intex hoses by slipping back the connector and placing a hose clamp around the resulting flange on the end of the hose, remarkably these...

    Cleaning old Sand Filter

    Ok Folks, Got my new 3/4hp Dohenys Pump in on Tuesday, installed it and the old sand filter and base. This pump is nice a quiet and seems sealed really well from the elements. It also came with a cord :mrgreen: Filter was backwashed for about 2 minutes and the site glass was clear, moved the...

    Ultra Frame Intex Question

    Sink those pavers to be level with the ground "not above the ground" and that should solve your problem. Of course this means a drain and refill I am sorry to say :rant:

    INTEX 14" Krystal Klear Sand Filter Pump Make Noise

    After seeing this I am glad I went with my old sand filter and a new 3/4 hp pump. Looks like those Intex Pumps on the 1600 are not made that well. That bearing looks horrible for the short time you have used it. My old Hayward pump lasted years out in the weather even without a cover, it looks...

    Cleaning old Sand Filter

    So..... My question again, should I just hook it all up when the pump comes in and see how it goes? Or do you think I rinsed the sand enough in preparation? I have a feeling the valve will be ok, it moves freely and doesnt bind, however whether it leaks between backwash-filter-rinse I know I...

    Cleaning old Sand Filter

    The type of valve I have does not have a replaceable gasket, it is molded into the key/seal assembly. Like this http://www.poolzoom.com/key-seal-assemb ... 714ca.html

    Cleaning old Sand Filter

    Greetings, Getting ready to use my old Hayward 16" sand filter. I have emptied the filter by opening the drain, removing the pump valve and sticking a hose into the sand and washing it. It has now been empty about two weeks with only the sand in it "no water" would this be good enough before...

    Using old sand filter with Intex pool

    Update: I was able to grab a LIKE new Hayward 1HP pump for $60.00 on craigslist, it is less than a year old. I am going to use this for the Hayward 16" sand filter I had for my previous 24' AGP. So questions: 1: I want to place the pump and filter near the house-roughly 20ft from the pool, I...

    Using old sand filter with Intex pool

    Yep I looked the valve up and that seems to be the case. Price is not bad for the part. But the more I look into this the more I may be persuaded to just purchase the Intex 2650 Filter and Pump and be done with it. I wonder how the Pump holds up on the Intex.

    Using old sand filter with Intex pool

    ITEM# HP VOLT AMPS Q (GPM) H (m) 2601 3/4 115 Volt 6.2 62 9 These are the only specs I could find. It got good reviews for the pump, but time will tell how long this motor will last.
