IntexC330 Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools: 330 GPH Pump Flow Rate – Improved Circulation and Filtration – Easy Installation – Improved Water Clarity – Easy-to-Clean

I built a 100 gal (filled to approx 80 gal) DYI Cold Plunge and after doing my research to find the most effective & efficient way to keep the water clear & most importantly- clean, I settled on the Intex 350 GPH filter. I found this one on Amazon Warehouse for only $18!! It comes with everything needed including a filter (which can be washed and reused if not too dirty) but on warehouse you can find replacements all the time for only a few $.Once set up and you all the connections are properly sealed and the air is out of the lines, it runs beautifully.I run it for only two hours overnight using the “timer”. Keep in kind you may need to run it a bit longer upon initial set up and depending on how often you use your Plunge.To be transparent - my DYI turned out so well my son wants to replicate my set up (everything including the tub cost me no more than $160). Amazon a warehouse had a 350 gph Intext filter for $23 but they also had several Intex 1,000 gph for $26, so I am upgrading but only because I found a deal, my current filter works beautifully - which I’m keeping as a back up.I highly recommend the Intex products for your DYI cold plunge / spa - best of luck!

I actually ordered this one to replace the one that came with the pool that I bought 2 months before. That one stopped working after only 2 months.I knew that it must have just been one of those things because I have used their products for years and have never had any problems, and this new pump is working just fine.

It's tiny and $$$ however mine was leaking so got a new one. Im grateful they had them available. Shipment was fast and product was exactly what I needed. The suction is ok. Beware should you unscrew it once the pool is filled. You'll struggle greatly to ever get it water tight again. Best idea is raise it above the pool and work on it above the water level. If not you'll have a geyser. It was chugging, so I unscrewed the top and disaster. I still have the original but it leaks. Im hopeful if I replace it with this identical one it will be water tight. I do not understand how anyone can change the filters due to the difficulty of making it water tight again. If put on before the pool is filled no issues. I'll try to update when I have my husband give it a try. I'm not draining that pool twice.

Replace old non Intex pump with a new Intex pool pump. Worked great for about 5 days. The timer worked great. Set for 4 hours and off in 4 hours. Tried the trouble shooting the pump several times and still does not work, The filter was not dirty. Pump motor comes on but it is not pushing the water out.

I love this filter. I have a pool that does not have holes for the hoses to fit in. Instead I used some plastic weights that you can make from plastic bottles filled with sand and I glued the lids on and then I tied the bottles onto the bottles with strong string.BE PATIENT WHEN FIRST STARTING THE FILTER. YOU NEED TO PRIME THE PUMP. I USED MY GARDEN HOSE AND FILLED IT THAT WAY. THEN I PUT THE FILTER HOSE IN THE POOL AND MADE SURE THERE WAS WATER GOING IN THE FILTER HOSE. I TOOK THE GARDEN HOSE OUT OF THE FILTER HOSE AND MADE SURE THAT THE POOL WATER WAS GOING INTO THE FILTER HOSE.THIS IS A GOOD FILTER. IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO MAKE THE POOL HOSES TO FILL FULLY RIGHT AWAY. IT NEEDS TO WORK THE AIR OUT COMPLETELY. THIS WILL TAKE TIME AND JUST BE PATIENT. JUST MAKE SURE THERE IS WATER GOING THROUGH THE FILTER.I only wrote the instructions that helped me out in capital letters to help read the directions that had helped me get my filter going. I know how frustrating things maybe if it doesn't happen right away. Just make sure there is water going through the filter at all times.My pool is 160 gallons and is perfect for it and I would definitely buy the filter again.I have it plugged into a large extension cord that is made for outside use only. I have the cord plugged into an outside outlet.I noticed that when I plugged in the cord the filter did not go on. I had to reset the plug because the night before it rained and since it has a water saftey mode on the plug I just pressed the reset button on the cord.

This is garbage. It moves water for a day or two, then air gets in it and you have to bleed the air out to keep the water moving. After less than a week, the paper filters are too clogged to even use. You constantly have to stop the pump, let air out, and replace the filter or spray it out to keep using it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It works on the pool for sureHowever it just stopped working after 1 season. Frustrating and annoying.

At first I was like is this thing working because it is so quiet. It does a great job on the pool. Had pool covered for over a week and when uncovered pool was is great shape. Easy to install, i did it myself a 70 yo grandmother.
