Don't listen to Intex telling you to buy a new cartridge every couple of weeks. I was in the inground pool industry for about 20 years. Cartridge filters can be cleaned using a bottle of cartridge cleaner. Or you can make your own with a solution of muriatic and water or vinegar and water and soaking it for a few hours. You should be able to get a full season or more from 1 cartridge.
Hi Descendant!! Much appreciated thank you for that info!! 🤩
thanks
you probably dont care but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream all of the latest movies on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last months :)
Also can just hose it straight clean no?
@@lesnla you can just hose it off every couple of weeks, but then every couple of months do a deep cleaning with the cleaning solution. It's like washing your clothes with just water. It will take off a lot of the surface dirt, but to get a real good clean into the fibers, you need a cleaning agent like soap.
My pump has been leaking and I couldn’t figure it out even after watching several videos and this video made it very simple. No more water leaking from the filter. Thank you so much for sharing.
Love hearing that!! Thanks a lot Lee, enjoy!!
Thank you very much! Your tips have been x100 more useful than the crappy instructions my pool came with. Shame on the manufacturers.
Thank you. I kept trying to bleed the air while it was on, but you showed me to bleed the air while it was off and it worked. Thank you.
Me too !
Great to hear it helped you!
I cleaned my filter off with the jet setting on my hose that worked really well and didnt have to bring it in to the house! Fixed my issue with flow ! thanks for the video.
Hi Doug! Awesome glad it helped!!!
Thank you, my issue was air in the line. Followed your instruction and now it works better than it ever has!

See you soon!!
I did not think this would work but you were RIGHT!! We lifted the pump above the pool and water started coming into the pool. THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much!!! I thought I would have to return and purchase a new filter but, thanks to your video, I was able to determine that there was air in my system. I let the air out and it runs just like new!!
Thats super!! Really cool to hear that and thanks for writing !!! 🤩
Thank you! I was so close to returning mine until I decided to check RUclips and found your video!
That is just awesome to hear! So happy it was helpful!
Thank you! This video is straight to the point and very easy to understand!
Hey, thank you so very much for this video very, very helpful. Because of your video my kids are back in the pool again Thanks
Hi c1stdown!!! That's just made my day. 😃 Thank you for writing such a nice comment, really appreciate it!!!
This video was very helpful. I followed your instructions and i fixed my intex pump. Thank you very much.
Wow Maria I love hearing that, you just made my day!! 😃
Thank you! Had no clue that the air had to be released. Fixed it immediately.
Happy to hear it was such an easy fix 👍
Thanks so much! We were struggling with a brand new pump that wouldn't push any water through....turns out we had air in the lines! This was incredibly helpful, specifically, you helped me understand what each component's job is, and how to use it to get everything working properly. thanks a lot!
That's so good to hear :-) Thank you for letting me know, that's really kind!
Do you mean air in the lines?
@@sadfur8728 lol yes
@@sadfur8728that’s what she said though is it not?
Took me over an hour because I had to move stuff to get to the pump. Changed hoses cuz the hoses I have are frosted over so I couldn't see if the air was coming out but it worked. The little fan on the inside was jammed. I hit it with the screwdriver and it's working but I think it needs a little drop of oil. Thank you so much! Save me some bucks
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Enjoying Your videos, easy to follow instructions and to the point.
That's very kind of you!
Thanks! I just got the pool and my pump keeps filling with air. So this was so helpful!
Thank you!! 6th year of setting it up and have never had a problem. I always raise the filter on a step ladder to save the water when changing the filter. I didn't think about it having to be grounded to release the air.
Ah Amazing your pump is doing great! Hoping to get as many years or more out of mine too. THanks for the comment!! 🤩
I'm using it for an unapproved purpose of cleaning an underground pond, so getting it primed is done by pouring water in through the air purge valve opening with both hoses elevated until it's filled up, then closing the valve and quickly immersing both hoses down into the water before turning it on.
Then it's able to get a proper prime to operate.
Thank you, watching your video I got air out and cleaned filter, pump working good again.
These videos are saving my summer!
Love hearing that, it's nice to know it's helping!! 😃
Thank you my pump was just making noise but not pumping anything... i was upset lol. I search and found your video and my issue was the air inside. I opened the top air came out and some water and..... Bam works now. Thanks for the video
Ahhh awesome Happy to hear that man, thanks for the feedback!! 😃
thanks man! this fixed the slow flow of my 2 week old pump
Hey Jess, Awesome that's cool to know!! 🤙🏼
What was the problem with yours?
@@luismacarandan5545 turns out the filter inside is already dirty. washed it with a pressure washer and the flow was good again. i was not able to replace it during that time since i had no spare filter.
Great video. Troubleshooting tips worked amazingly. Thank you.
That's so great to hear! Have a great summer enjoying the pool :D
It was the first cap thing 🤣 really helped thanks as they come with no instructions
Very helpful! Just picked up an Intex pool and wasn’t sure why the pump stopped working about 1.5 weeks. Cleaned the filter and it’s back up and running for my 4 year old! Appreciate the video!
Ahhh perfect, have fun guys!! 🤩
Thanks! Air in the system was definitely the problem. 👍🏾

Thank you very much for the tips.
My pump wasn't pumping water at all, and was gaining pressure while turned on. The circuit was purged with no air and still nothing, until I opened the pump and the filter was all green.
I cleaned it all with some pressure and it's just working like new. :D
Thanks again. :)

i was about to give up😭😭😭😭😭but NOW my pool is ready for the summer 🤗🤗🤗🎉🎉🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏thanks from all they way from California🙋🙋🙋
You made my day with this comment!! So awesome to read that my my effort and intentions of making this video helps so many of you! Have a great summer and hours of fun in your pool!
Perfect! I did steps 1 +2 to be safe and it worked perfectly!
That's so good to hear!! Thanks for letting me know 😍
Thank you so much! You really helped us! How many hours per day should the pump run?
Hii! That's so nice to hear!!! 😃😃 I've read in Intex info to run it at least as long as to filter all the water in the pool once a day. So it depends on the capacity of the pump and the pool, which are numbers you can look up on the packaging. Mostly that's about 1 hour. But no harm in running it more, your pool will then be cleaner and fresher! Just don't run it while swimming. I hope that helps!
I ran into one more reason your pump may not turn on. The GFCI reset plug gets wet and water can get inside of it and pump will not go on at all. I had to take my GFCI plug and disassemble it and blow compressed air inside of it. Reattach the wires and reassemble. Hit the switch and pump turned on. If screw are corroded use rubbing alcohol to clean on screws and allow time to dry before reattaching. Hope this helps someone else after first checking everything in this video these are the first steps to take. Especially the air in the system is very common.
Hi Rich thanks a lot for adding that!! Makes sense this is another thing that could happen. Thanks for taking the time to write! 👍
Great video. One quick q: is the pool installed in the terrace and if yes, any potential issues?
Thank you for your time and information. I would like your advice on upkeep ...I am leaving for 5 days , should I leave the filter on non stop, is it safe? I have a best way pool, a little different from yours but similar...
Thank you for your time!
Hi, don't leave it on. It's like every electrical device.. Just give it a longer run after you return.
@@DutchSailingFamily Thank you I did unplug it before I left after all.
I do appreciate your response and confirmation.
Thank you!
Or #4..your tubes are in wrong location on pump.
The intake tubes with screens that T together go to top hose on pump.
The one by itself with single hose goes to bottom hose on pump.Think gravity from top intake to sick water from top then blow out the bottom to the exhaust..I always use dielectric grease on my o ring seals (pure silicone grease.)
Those O rings last about 1 season and dry rot easily.
By next season they may look like hell when you go to reattach them.
Hello . Thank you for the review, it was very helpful. I learn something new. Just a quick question. Do you or can someone uses the pool while the filter is running? Because I saw your family in the background but I am sure the pool wasn’t running yet. Just out of curiosity because it has a warning sign not to occupy it when operational . The reason for this inquiries is that I have bought an extension water fountain to replace the outlet into the pool. It’s quite fun to see the water falling and my daughter loves to see it but I am afraid to let her use the pool while operational. I don’t know if you’re the right person to this question maybe intex can explain why not to use the pool when the filter is on . Apparently due to experience you can help. I am sorry I have written to much but I appreciate your time reading through. Thank you and keep safe.
Hi Ekiti, thanks for your comment! To be honest the warning is simply because it's still an electric device operating with water, so theoretically there is always a certain risk of electric shock. Obviously they have to build it to standards to make sure this does not happen but the best advice I can give you is to not swim in the pool when the pump is on.. it's for your safety.
UltimateFreggle's Adventures Thankful
My pump is not blowing bubbles after 2 days. The filter is not dirty and I checked for the leaks like you showed. Can the pump overheat in the hot sun? I live in Florida and we get in the high 90s.
Hey William. Hmm it is possible that it overheats, but mine hasnt so far and it does get as hot here too, or worse. Is there no sound coming from it at all when you turn it on?? Or did you manage to fix it by now?
nederlaaaaand!!!
Jaaaaaaaaa 💯% NL 🤩
Since day one my pump hasn’t worked properly. It pumps but only slowly there is no water or air leaks. The only way I can sometimes matte it become full pressure is if I cover the part where the water comes back into the pool with my hand for a second or 2 then it will start to be big pressure. But recently it has stopped doing and and is constantly on low pressure any tips
If you have checked for water and air leaks, and you are sure the covers are all correctly placed.. it sounds to me especially since it is from day one, that the pump is faulty and needs replacing. That's just my opinion.. But hard to diagnose from a distance really. Hope you get it sorted!
hi got my pool 3 days ago and i noticed theres no bubbles coming out from the aerator inlet.
Great info, I have problem with that filter, when I open the switch it’s work for minutes, and stop! And when I move the water close to pipe that pushes the water, it’s work and stops again, can you tell me what is the problem? Thanks
Hi Bun Bon! That's a bit strange. When the pump stops, does it still make sound or it stops completely? If it still makes sound when you say it stops, it sounds to me like air in the pipes. Have a good look to see if there is no big amounts of air in the pipes. Because the pump can only pump water, not air. Also it's important to set it up at the right height compared to the pool. Below the water level. It should look like in the video really and then it should work. Hopefully that helped a bit... 😃
Great video ty
You talked about leaks my pump is leaking, but not from the areas that you have shown mines is leaking from the top the cap is on tight it is leaking from the top of filter from the
Black ring, it’s leaking so much that I had to fill the pool every other day any suggestions That can help me thank you
Hi Kim, oooh that's pretty bad! First step I would take is switch it off, lift the pump above pool level on a table or so, then open it and inspect the rubber seal. Maybe just take it out of place and put back in. It's possible that when closing it, it doesn't go in place perfectly, and then it would leak a lot but that should fix it... I hope that helps!
@@DutchSailingFamily
Thank you for your reply!!
I tried taking out the seal, it’s harder then it looks, while trying I was afraid I’d tear the seal pc by pulling it out
It seems it’s in pretty good!!
I fig tht was problem but still cont to leak ty again
Hi , what if the pump is pilling water from the top? From the lid and the air vent screw area. It spills a lot of water when turned on.
Hi! Check the seal, maybe it is not properly closed or damaged a little or some dirt.
hi.. Is the pool safe on that terrace weight wise? We have a similar roof terrace in middle east, but the landlord said no to an intex inflatable hot tub.
It's understandable Just Juicy! I got the smallest version to avoid overloading, I talk about this a little more in my Bestway Pool review video ruclips.net/video/Ki1Q63a_zIg/видео.html
