This pump should be standard equipment on all the 18' pools. It moves a lot of water, and is quiet. Also primed up easily.
Really worth it!

I bought this to replace a 1500gpm pump that came with my pool after it broke. The difference is amazing! Last summer my pool was always a little murky and though it was clean and the chemicals balanced, the debris in the water never got cleared out. This new pump keeps my pool crystal clear!
A Great Filter Pump for an 18' Pool

We recently purchased an 18' x 4' circular Intex above-ground pool set that came with a woefully inadequate 1500 gph filter pump. It could barely manage to keep the skimmer running for an hour before the type "A" filter got too clogged, and the water was continually cloudy. So, we decided to upgrade to the 2500 gph pump. This pump works great for our ~7500 gallon pool. It takes type "B" filters, which we only need to rinse off once a day. Our pool water really is "Krystal Klear"! We run the skimmer all night long, and the skimmer grabs all the bugs and leaves that inevitably fall into our pool overnight. The vacuum has plenty of "oomph" with this pump. It's even less noisy than the 1500 gph pump we started with. Tips:
1) Vent the air out of the pump any time you start it up, or if you hear it get noisy (which can happen sometimes when starting the skimmer). If there is a lot of air trapped in the pump, it will not work well. The pump needs to be off when you vent it. "Pro tip": Just barely open the air-release valves when venting! (Trust me on this one!)
2) Rinse off your filter regularly. Once a day works well for us, but this will vary. This pump can push a *lot* of water through the filter, so if your pool is really dirty it can clog the filter quickly! You will know when the filter needs rinsing because the output pressure will drop off noticeably.
3) This pump has some serious suction! You'll probably want to turn it off when people--especially kids--are in the pool, just to be safe.
Powerful. Perhaps too much?

I bought this to replace my 1500 GPH filter that came with my 18x4' ez-set pool. It seems now that the additional functions (skimmer and vaccum) I performed with my older, less powerful filter, seem to be less effective since my upgrade. Let me explain.
Of course....the basic function of the intake/outtake through the filter via the two side pool outlets performs much more efficiently. You can actually "see" the water moving.
My problem now is when I hook up the surface skimmer. The suction of the pump grasping to intake water literally moves the skimmer to the surface of the pool...and it starts intaking air which could damage the pump. I've tried to close the clamp which attaches to the "ring" of the pool to the narrowist setting....but still....in the evening when the cooler air retracts the girth of the pool ring...I have the same problem. My only alternative at this point is to tie a weight to the skimmer to prevent this from happening...as I don't want to worry what time of day it is to use the skimmer.
Another problem is the vaccum attachment. The suction is so strong that the very narrow distance from the attachment to the bottom of the pool is not wide enough to get enough water in...and the intake hose to the filter starts to collapse....which could also damage the filter. Not sure if the larger sized pools that have this filter standard have different skimmer and vaccum attachments which accomodates the larger volume of water flow.
If anyone has any suggestions....feel free to leave a comment.
At this point I'm going to call Intex for advice.
Like I said.....for the basic outlet/inlet hook-up to filter the water....this does the job.
I'll leave updates when I contact Intex.
UPDATE: 7/28/2008
OK....intex said that both the skimmer and vaccum attachment are standard size with all pools. They suggested (for the skimmer) that I inflate the pool ring a bit more so that the skimmer clamp fits tighter to the "ring" of the pool. This seems to have worked. They also added that the skimmer should not be situated directly above the intake where the skimmer hooks up as the hose length may bunch up the skimmer....causing it to rise when there is pressure from the pump.
As for the vaccum....they suggested not to attempt to pick up leaves or anything that would clog the line....and to keep an eye on the cloth strainer in the vaccum assembly which fits in the skimmer basket. They said if the strainer becomes too clogged with debris....it might be causing problems concerning the hose collapsing....not enough through-put of water. I will heed this suggestion during future vaccums.
If all goes well as suggested....I'll rate the pump a solid 5.

Intex 2500 gph filter pump
This product made my summer! Last summer I purchase the Intex 12X24 oval easy pool. The 1500 gph filter pump was not sufficient enough for the pool size. I was forever outside cleaning the pool. The 2500 gph filter pump is a must for this pool size and larger. I do not know why Intex uses the 1500 gph filter/pump with this product. By simply changing the filter/pump I have learned to love my pool!
