Help! We just got this pump last year for quite the steal new. Went to open the pool today and it’s leaking. I’m literally about to just post it all for sale because I’m so frustrated. I told the kids I would check on here to see if there’s an easy fix because I am not buying a new one or going through hoops to get this thing to work.
It’s leaking!!!!!

Check your paperwork- you may still be in warranty on it. Also If you used a cc w/ extended warranty protection. Then you would be able to deal w/ your cc instead of intex.
They are not really very repairable like regular above ground pumps.

Water coming from between the motor and the pump? Could be the pump seal.
Or is the pump housing cracked?

Please post a pic from a bit more distance so we can see your whole filter/pump set-up. Is it on a level surface?

Those pump/filter combos don't leave much room for home repair. I would pursue a warranty claim since the item is so new.
Took it apart with my brother today and discovered it just needs a new shaft seal. I’ve looked everywhere though for where to purchase replacement from intex and cannot find it. I have the 3000 gph sand filter- anyone know what size that one needs???

Perhaps you can measure it & call inyopools or a local pool shop to get one that will be the same size.
also look for people getting rid of their old one you can rob parts from.

I think I found a manual for it: https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/C1XRD26zxLS.pdf
It has a breakdown of parts and part numbers.
Looks like the pump/motor is all one piece though.
