denise1970 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Hi there. We have an Intex pool that is 16' X 48". First thing I want to know is how many gallons is that? Also, we need a new filter/pump but we would like a more powerful one than the one that came with it. Any ideas? Would like to continue to use the A size filter though, if possible. Looking for a reasonable place to buy it too. Would appreciate any help. Quote
Smaller IS better Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Replace with same Pump or you'll spend a small fortune on adapters to connect a larger Pump to your small pool connectors. You probably have the 1000 GPH Model 637 Filter Pump, the largest Pump that uses the "A" filter cartridges. I put a 2500 GPH pump on my little 14X42 pool and spent a small fortune on hose adapters and hours tracking down suction leaks. Thats because little pools use 1.25 inch hoses and larger pumps use standard 1.5 inch. Your choice is to use adapters or cut bigger holes in the side of the pool. Quote
