Intex C2500 Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools: 2500 GPH Pump Flow Rate – Improved Circulation and Filtration – Easy Installation – Improved Water Clarity – Easy-to-Clean

I think it works really well, it has really high pressure.I had to get separate fittings to get it to work with my smaller hoses and holes. I was able to order them easily off Amazon as well and they were super easy to connect with the pump. Definitely a way stronger pump than what came with my pool. This is an in-text pump that I put on a Coleman pool.

Great pump for the price. Easy to install and maintain. Also very quiet and really does the job

The 1000 gpm pump that came with my pool couldn't do it's job well at all in its second summer of use. I was shocking it every four days, the water was cloudy. I couldn't see the bottom....now...wow! Lol! Yup! I can see my feets clearly! I can see all the little blue squares and when I play empty can fetch with the dog and it falls to the bottom, it no longer gets lost. It's been a week and a half since we installed it and it hasn't needed shock. Only thing to beware of is if you let the dog cool off in the pool all day while you are at work, you'll find your water pressure go down after a week only to discover that if you unscrew the hose directly in front of the pump motor area, you'll find fur clogging the mesh screen area. The pump runs full speed again once you get that out. So maybe put a dollar store nylon stocking on your skimmer basket to cut down on that. I put it around the bottom and up around the sides since the basket is raised in the center. We bought the twin pack of 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 intex type B adapters. We bought nothing else, because like you might be doing, I researched and I thought that might be all I needed. Turns out I needed at least one "fernco ptc-150 1 1/2 to 1 1/4 inch pipe connecter (coupler). Home depot had some in stock nearby but I saved the hour trip to and from and just ordered it off amazon. The intex adapters were the exact same size as the fittings on our summer waves so they would not slip right over the summer waves pipes. It cost an extra $1.30 but fine with me. In the mean time we used the shiny new intex water return jet that came in the box with our new pump and hoses. Cutting tiny slivers at a time. Not too much or we'd be buying another pool if we made the hole too large and ruined the liner. While we waited for our fernco coupler (pink package with short gray pipe silver tightening bands on either side) we used the 1 1/4 summer waves hose that came with and ran from the filter canister to the old return jet to hook up our new pump temporarily. We used one of the intex type B adapters, screwed it onto the new intex hose and to the new pump. We fastened the old summer waves hose to the filter canister on the side of the pool and found a silver hose tightening band in the garage and used it to fasten the summer waves hose down around the small end of the type B adapter (the second type B adapter is just a spare since we retro fitted the new intex return to our pool. It was a jerry rigged fit and worked perfectly fine for the few days we waited for our hose coupler to come. The plastic pipe was cinched on pretty good and I'm sure it wouldn't have lasted for ever but we got it tightened enough not to leak. Our coupler came and the summer waves hose came off and into the spare parts box. We installed the coupler onto the filter canister, put the small end of the type B through the coupler, tightened it and screwed the new 1 1/2 intex hose onto the big end of my intex adapter. I did my best to help you plan your moves if you got the same pool I have. Sorry if my writings get confusing. I did my best. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Lol! I'm very glad I got this pump! You'll love how clean your fuzzy pool gets

I've had this pump filter system for 3 yrs and I absolutely highly recommend it! The pump system that came with my intex 15x48 steel frame pool was horrible. This works like a charm.

Good Product - Poor Instructions: DO NOT CUT YOUR POOL LINER! TL;DR: Buy Adapter A (part no: 10849) and Adapter B (part no: 29061E) if you have a smaller pool and want to use the larger parts. DETAILED REVIEW Full 5-star review withheld only because the instructions aren't clear and leave out key information. After hours of reading 3 pump and 2 pool manuals, cross-walking part names and size conversions, and talking to customer service, here is the super simple fix WITHOUT CUTTING YOUR POOL LINER: +++Referencing Owner's Manual v109: C2500 Krystal Clear Filter Pump Model 633T+++ ADDITIONAL PARTS (not included or clearly highlighted in instructions) Single Suction Outlet Configuration (minimum) ------------------------------------------ • Plunger Valve Assembly (part no: 10747) QTY 2 if not included with pool/pump. • Adapter B (part no: 29061E) if upgrading from smaller pool/pump using Inlet Air Jet Adapter (part no: 12366, 12367, or 12368) • Adapter A with Collar (part no: 10849) if using the upgraded Air Jet with 1.5" parts on smaller pools with 1.25" fittings - see UPGRADE NOTE Dual suction outlet configuration (optional/not required in all areas - check local legislation.) ========================== • Plunger Valve Assembly (part no: 10747) QTY 1 if not included with pool/pump. • Adapter B (part no: 29061E) QTY 2 if upgrading from smaller pool/pump using Inlet Air Jet Adapter (part no: 12366, 12367, or 12368) • Adapter A with Collar (part no: 10849) QTY 2 if using the upgraded Air Jet with 1.5" parts on smaller pools with 1.25" fittings - see UPGRADE NOTE • Splitter Plunger Valve Assembly (part no: 11872) QTY 1 • Hose (part no: 10116) QTY 2 • Hose Clamp (part no: 11489) QTY 4 UPGRADED NOTE: An upgraded Inlet Threaded Air Connector (part no: 12371) is included in the box but is NOT needed for smaller pools with 1.25" fittings (just Adapter B listed above). If using the upgraded Air Jet Adapter on a smaller pool, these are the only necessary parts: • Plunger Valve Assembly (part no: 10747) / ref no #9 • Adapter A with Collar (part no: 10849) / not referenced (in place of Strainer Nut (part no: 10745) / ref no #12) • Flat Strainer Rubber Washer (part no: 10255) / ref no #13 • Threaded Strainer Connector (part no: 10744) / ref no #14 AND Inlet Threaded Air Connector (part no: 12371) / ref no #19 • Adjustable Pool Inlet Nozzle (part no: 12369) / ref no #15 AND Strainer Grid (part no: 10253) / ref no 16 Larger pools already use the 1.5" fittings and don't need Adapter B to use either the Air Adapter that came with the pool OR the Inlet Threaded Air Connector (part no: 12371) that came with the pump. FINAL NOTES: • Plunger Valve Assembly may/may not be included in the box (ex: 28633EG did NOT include them) • Some parts go by different names with different part numbers due to pool size. (EX: Pool Inlet Air Adaptor is upgraded Inlet Threaded Air Connector or Intel Threaded Air Adapter+) •. The instructions list spare parts that are part of the Plunger Valve Assembly and do NOT need to be purchased separately. • Parts may say "discontinued", but are available under a new/completely different part number. • All parts (OEM or after market) are available on Amazon

I was able to get this pump on Amazon for $85 when the price had dropped. I upgraded this to my existing 15' X 48" intex Pool. I had to cut out the existing 1-1/4" holes CAREFULLY to 1-1/2" holes to attach the enlarged drainer and output valves. The system comes with 2 1-1/2" hoses and 2 PLUNGERS! For extra precaution, I dropped the water level to under both holes in the liner and used waterproof silicone when attaching the new fittings to the cut holes and have had no problems at all. After a couple of days to allow the silicone to set, I filled up the pool and no leaks. PERFECT! The plungers are awesome in that I don't get wet anymore when cleaning the filter. Being included is an AWESOME bonus. I upgraded from a 1000 GPH pump that burned out the second week I had it. The extra flow of water has kept my pool crystal clear. It really moves the water and produces a strong current. Up to now, I have no complaints and it is an EXCELLENT upgrade. A+ INTEX! UPDATE: (DETAILED EXPLANATION ON CUTTING THE LINER ON AN INTEX POOL FOR UPGRADE) Because I've been asked a few times, I went ahead and wrote a step by step on how to cut the liner on a smaller Intex pool to attach the valves and hoses when upgrading to the 2500 GPH pump. So for whoever needs more detail on how I installed the valves, heres a more detailed explanation: The first thing you have to do is drop the water level about a foot under the lower second hole in the liner. The 2500 gph pump set includes the strainer head, the water output head, two valve sets, two plungers, two rubber gaskets for the valves, two hoses, gasket rings for the hoses, filter, and the pump. To cut the liner, CAREFULLY cut a larger hole around the existing black tubed holes. Use the new valve diameter (1 1/2") as a guide when cutting. Be sure to not cut the hole too large or too small. If it is too small, youll probably see that the liner stretches too tightly around the threads of the new valve set. Make sure that the liner DOES NOT cover any part of the threads. The first time I did it, the liner was too tight on the threads of the new valve set and even after screwing it on with the gasket tightly, the lifted liner on the threads created a gap enough for water to spill out. After re-dropping the water level, I cut the liner slightly larger so that it layed flat on the surface that it makes contact with on the valve, not touching the threads. I purchased high quality waterproof clear silicone as an extra precaution and added a line of it to the INNER part of the valve (which goes inside the pool), then I put the gasket on that inner part, then I put another line of silicone on the rubber gasket, then I stuck the threaded end through the liner, and then added another line of silicone to the ring that spins on to tighten both ends of the valve together tightly with the liner pressed in between. It may be overkill but I'd rather be safe than sorry. To recap, from the inside of the pool out, its the inner valve piece, silicone, the rubber gasket, silicone, sticking the threaded part through the liner, silicone, then the tightening ring. Do these steps twice for both valves on the pool liner (the input and output). Let the silicone cure for at least three days before proceeding to the next step. Trust me you want to wait even though it seems like forever. The first time I did it the silicone wasnt fully cured and it fell apart when I filled the pool back up and water had contact with it. After those three days, then screw on the plungers to the valves, attach the hoses to the plungers then attach them to the pump. There are rubber gasket rings for the hoses that have to be placed right, so just be weary of that minor detail. Fill the pool up and hit the switch on the pump. I wish I had a guide the first time I did it lol.

Received my pump, opened box and started assembly. All went well until I noticed one box of parts that included the output parts, the box of parts the includes the intake parts were missing. Called the manufacturer and was told that the intake parts are not included. I am not understanding how you sell a pump without the parts to make it work? They did include the output so why not the intake? I had to spend another 100 for the intake parts for the pump to function.

This brand, style pump came with my original 26-foot round Intex Pool I purchased from Walmart. after 10 years my BF hit my pool with the weed eater and ruined it. I couldn't find the same pool so I bought the Coleman Oval 26 X 18 pool. I have hated it from day one. The sides don't stand up like they are supposed to no matter what we tried. It came with a Smart Pump that was defective from the box, and they never honored my request for a new one, but I had purchased the warranty from Wal-Mart, so they did. In the meantime, I had hooked this pump up to it, my old one. It ran for a long time, until it developed a crack in the housing. So I bought another Sand Pool Pump, it was as useless as well as the Smart Pump. We went on vacation for 2 weeks, the power went out and the pump went off, and did not come back on when the power did. We came home to a green pool! It didn't keep the pool clean at all, even though I had a vacuum going too!, and no timer so you had to keep going out to turn it on and off. This pump wasn't available to ship to CA last year which is ridiculous, since it comes with pools, so I kept watching and waiting! Bingo!! I got it this year!! It's so easy to set up, runs on a timer, and the filters are easy to find. Although you can wash and reuse them several times if you wash them regularly. this winter I found them on Sale, 2 for $4.00...Steal....I stocked up! I am so excited to get this pump hooked up to the pool as I know it will keep it clean! I may purchase another just to keep around, although the last one lasted over 10 years!! You won't go wrong with this purchase, it's over half the cost less than what the others were that I had to purchase, that didn't work either. I am one happy camper (pool owner) again!! Now just to find another 26ft. round pool, so much more room in the pool, not the yard, but I will sacrifice that to have the space in the pool!! Get this Pump, you will love the ease of keeping up with it, change the filter, set the timer and go!! The paperwork was all crumpled up in the box and one page torn all to pieces, couldn't read it but since I had one before I knew how to set it up. Enjoy your new pump!!

This pump is way more powerful than the pump that comes with the Intex/Coleman steel frame pool. It's pretty fantastic. Where the original pump sends a little stream of water in, this thing sends torrent of water and bubbles. A little finicky with getting it going, as it's quite sensitive about air bubbles, but once you get those cleared out, it works like a charm. Nice that it has a built in timer too, so I don't have to use a timer, if I don't want to. Also nice that I don't have to use the built in timer if I don't want to, lol. I've only used it for half of one season, so can't speak to longevity just yet, but hopefully it'll keep on ticking for summer's to come.

We bought this the end of last summer when our pump stopped working had it up for a month now and so far no complaints moves the water perfectly in our 18 foot round pool keeps my pool clean love the timer easy to set up even with a few modifications

Used this pump as a replacement for a Bestway pump (22 foot round 10,000 gallon pool and 2500 gallon per hour pump) and it works excellent. The timer is a nice added feature.

Bought this last May and it worked great. Took it out for this season and won’t start. (Pump kept indoors in off season) So now have full pool of water and no ability to filter. After one season? Sent receipt/Emailed Intek customer service who replied they get back in 48 hours. Day 3 and still waiting. I’ll update if things change… UPDATE: Still going in circles with Intek with no replacement or solution after multiple emails. Keep asking for info I already gave them and now say my invoice from Amazon doesn't match the product number? How is that on me? Literally having a heat wave and Intek has left me hanging.

Pump is good. Hoses are trash. There is air in the lines as the hoses don't connect well.
