    Intex Krystal Clear Sand Pump Filter Opinions!

    Hi everyone! This may seem pointless as I have not bought my pool yet but I know it will be a large size Intex Ultra Frame. I know the pump that it comes with is junk, so I was looking on Amazon and found excellent reviews for the 16” Intex Krystal Clear Sand Pump. It’s the largest one they...

    First of all this forum is great. I've always been a pool/beach bum and now that I own a house it's time to make a statement with an ultimate (budget) pool and patio setup.
