This guide has been compiled to help owners find the best above ground pool pump to match their pool installations.  If you are upgrading, or just need a replacement pump, we have highlighted the some of best pool pumps and pump / filter systems on the market.

Concentrating on the brilliant Hayward pumps, and the popular Intex above ground pool pump and filter range. All the Intex sand filter and cartridge filter pump systems have been reviewed.

A lot of choices of pump and filter systems are available to above ground pool owners, and most of them are simple to understand, and very simple to install.

The Intex filter pump range in particular has been especially made for installation by the pool owner rather than a professional.

As one of the most popular manufacturers of above ground pools Intex has made owners lives very easy by combining and matching pump and filter systems for their pools into a single combo unit.

Of course Intex is not the only provider of above ground pool pump and filter systems, there are other excellent alternatives for permanent above ground pool installations, that’s why we have included the excellent Hayward product range in our guide.




Above Ground Pool Pump vs Pool Size

It’s going to be fairly simple to match our new above ground pool pump to an existing pool. 

Since most above ground pools have their pump filtration systems very close to the pool there are really no complex calculations to made. We can just use a rule of thumb method that is should be good for 99% of cases.

Pools under 15000 gallons require a 1 HP pump and for those over 15000 then go to a 1.5 HP model.

If you are an Intex above ground pool owner it is simply a matter of matching your pool size to the type to an Intex filter pump product from their extensive range.


Intex Filter Pump: CARTRIDGE System 

The Intex filter pump cartridge filtration system is super easy to use and maintain. Pulling, cleaning and reinstalling cartridges is just a five minute job, but it does have to be done on a regular basis.  Like all filters at some point they will need replacing at the cost of around $4 – $6 per filter.

A cartridge filter system with new filters installed can clear out particles down to 10 microns.  As the filter wears they obviously become less efficient.

The filters used in the Intex filter pump are made from pleated Dacron (a synthetic polyester) so depending on the type of particles they are dealing with they should be able to be rinsed and reused many times before needing replaced.

Above Ground Pool SAND Filter System 

Pool filtration systems using sand as the filter medium are the most common and most economical to maintain and service.

Unlike the cartridge system of filtration which needs a particular cartridge filter installed,  the special inexpensive pool filter sand can be found at most good home and hardware stores.

Whilst the sand filter system is an efficient method of removing particles from pool water it typically only filters out particles down to around 20 microns. Of course this is sufficient for most pool owners and systems, if you are looking to trap smaller particles than that then the Intex cartridge filter range is available as an option.

  Quite operation. Most owners reported very low audible impact from the pump. Of course fitting the pump on the correct type of base is a factor in this.

  Good build quality but then Hayward does have one of the best reputations in the pool industry.

What Owners Don’t Like So Much  

   No on / off switch.

   Can be a little difficult to prime.   (Editors Note: (The length of head could be the cause of the difficulties some owners faced)

The basket lid proved difficult to remove for some owners.   (Editors Note: This type of problem is often caused by internal suction rather than the pump itself)
