Swimline HYDROTOOLS 19 Inch Sand Filter Combo Set with Stand & Multi Port Valve | 0.9 THP DOE Complaint Pump 4500 GPH | Up to 19000 Gallons | 175 Pound Sand Capacity

I was sent 115v instead of 240v and even with a voltage transformer to drop the voltage it keeps cutting out

I can get a little winded in my reviews, but if you can bear with me, you might read a useful thing or two. To start with, I've been using this filter pump about 6 weeks. I'm using it on a 15'x42" above ground pool from the time both were removed from the box. Assembly was...mostly...straightforward. The instructions aren't exactly bad, but I really didn't find them sufficient for my own needs. I ended up going to YouTube and found a guy who walked through this exact same model's setup and I found that immensely more helpful. Most things needed are included in the boxes except a few tools and some o ring lubricant. Why wasn't a small bit of the lubricant included with everything else? You got me. But I did need to buy some and had read on Google that it's not a great idea to use alternatives (Vaseline or coconut oil or whatever else). The screws mounting the motor to the base were an unbelievable pain, but I ended up managing. Sand for this product is also not included, but it can be purchased from a pool supply, hardware store, or even here on Amazon (where I obtained mine). Adding the sand and getting the lid part of the unit nice and flush isn't quite the one and done process the instructions suggested. I got the tube nice and centered and still couldn't get the lid level after filling it with sand, thus requiring me to hand empty the entire thing and start over multiple times. I finally found that adding a bit of sand, trying the lid carefully, adding some more, trying again, etc was the only way I was finally able to have the lid sit flush at the right angle enough to get the ring clamped on. Another issue I ran into was that even though the pool hoses I had were the same size as the pump's, the pool hoses were a baby bit not as snug as the ones included with the pump. So no amount of tightening on the clamp rings stopped leaking and I had to stop, replace all the hoses, and reattach. I still have a tiny bit of dribble no matter what was done trying to fix it, but it's not enough to stress over with regular water loss. I do feel it's worth mentioning that I live in Texas and this unit is in non stop sun most every day. It's run like a champ anyway. The operation of the unit had seemed a little daunting, but as long as you remember to unplug everything before switching functions, it's super simple. I would suggest buying one of these on a damaged box type of deal if you're able. I was able to save a decent bit this way and everything I received was in brand new, not damaged condition when it got to me. As far as function, I can tell a night and day difference when I'm using the filter enough and when I'm not. I use no cover at all on my pool (including during Hurricane Beryl that I was in some of the worst wind of) and other than vacuuming the big stuff off the bottom every couple of days, the pump does all the rest. It's much stronger than the included pump that comes with the pool, and a lot less to worry about since it doesn't use those paper filters. (I used this type in the past and it's a lot more maintenance.) I think I've covered everything of note except to say that.... Yes, I'm happy with this purchase Yes, I would purchase this product again Yes, I absolutely would recommend this product

El filtro es bueno pero la bomba no tiene nada de potencia. Pedi devolucion y me dijeron que solo aplica para US porque es un producto asi que en mexico si no sirve no hacen nada en absoluto y pierdes el dinero. Lastima porque pague una cantidad que no lo vale

Je suis extrêmement satisfait de la performance de cet ensemble de pompe et filtre à sable. Je l'ai facilement installé en moins d'une heure sur ma petite piscine démontable de 13' que j'avais acheté chez canadian tire. Ça comprend des boyau de 1 1/4" mais c'est également conçu pour recevoir du 1 1/2". Le système est de loin plus performant que celui offert avec la piscine et il est silencieux. Pensez vous munir d'un timer car la pompe ne doit pas fonctionné en permanence. De toute façon 8 heures de filtration par jour est amplement suffisant pour la grandeur de la piscine.

LA BOMBA ES DE PESIMA CALIDAD, DURO SOLO 1 SEMANA Y MEDIA Y PERDIO TODA SU POTENCIA. YA NO FUNCIONA. NO COMPREN ESTE ARTICULO, AUNQUE EL FILTRO ES DE BUENA CALIDAD. LA BOMBA NO LO ES, PIERDE LA POTENCIA DIA TRAS DIA, AUNQUE SEGUI LAS INSTRUCCIONES PASO A PASO, LA BOMBA BAJO SU POTENCIA Y ES INSERVIBLE, PERDÍ MI DINERO, Y ES DIFICIL REGRESARLA POR SER DE OTRO PAÍS.
