    Pump not to be used with soft sided pools such as Intex or Coleman. Wait ….What?

    I have a large intex pool, 16x32x54 and the intex pump just isn’t sufficient for moving the water and keeping it clean even with the biggest pump intex makes. Someone gave me a 325 sq ft cartridge filter but I need to get a pump for it. When I started shopping around for a pump, at least 1.5 hp...

    Automatic pool cleaner for above ground pools
