Upgrade Your Intex Pool With A Vevor Sand Filter

[@EricWaterTruck]

I have a smaller 14’ pool. The cartridge filter just pooped out. Just bought a sand filter online. Waiting for it to come in, checking out videos how to do it. Thank you for putting it out

I got my beer 🍺 ready, on with the vid👍

I have been watching your videos for the past month because I want to buy this pool so bad. And only your videos because you are super informative and get straight to the point. Would I be able to use an extension cord for the pump?

@@desireehrndz that's how I am running mine and have been for years. Thanks for the kind words!

I had a terrible experience with a Vevor sand filter pump that was defective right out of the box. I'm still trying to get them to fix it under warranty, but they don't seem to care about customer satisfaction. If you ever have to file a warranty claim, you'll be sorry.

[@roberthernandez7564]

Quick Question - Any reason why you are no longer using the side inlets of your pool? I have found that after performing any maintenance which requires me to disconnect the inlet hoses, my sand filter pump has difficulty priming if I only have water flowing from the Hayward skimmer after I reassemble everything. But if I connect both the Hayward skimmer and at least one of the two side inlets, the pump primes fairly quickly after purging any air from the lines.

I just never bought a t valve to he's them bit I was thinking lole you while installing the filter. I may hook one of them up.

Hi I have same send filter when I turn off water leaking from motor ?

[@EverydayMan]

@GlitterB8 I'm not sure what you mean buy water leaking from motor. Tighten all the fittings. If your pump is leaking make sure all the screws are tifht.

[@bayouboattrash]

When putting it together and handling it, does it feel like its a high quality pump or one of those "you get what you pay for scenarios"? We're probably going with a similar set up this summer and I wanna get ahead of the game from the start.

[@EverydayMan]

Ir feels pretty solid. It feels better than the intex one.

[@josephinegonzalez5158]

Mine didn't come with the black stand tgat goes inside the inside of the filter. Do I need it?

[@EverydayMan]

I'm not sure what u mean.

[@Matt__Kemp]

Nice man, I’m thinking of getting the 14” vevor for my 14’ funsicle oasis. How loud is the pump would you say?

[@EverydayMan]

I can't really hear it from inside the pool.

[@KaeBei]

I just bought 14in how much sand do I need to buy?

[@EverydayMan]

Buy 2 and use what you need.

[@BeccaHernandez-ez7sv]

Hello Everyday Man. Love watching your videos. I was curious how did you install a shut off valve on your skimmer? Becca and Michael

[@EverydayMan]

I just bought an imyex valve

[@Anthonygarage]

What happened to the old Intex pump?

[@EverydayMan]

It started turning on and off and stopped working all together.

[@Shawna795]

What kind of pool salt do you use?

[@EverydayMan]

@Shawna795 whatever home depot has.

[@Shawna795]

@@EverydayMan thank you 😊

[@jakehagenson7225]

I have the same salt water system and it says up to 3000 gpm. That pump is 3500 gpm. Is it working well still? I want to upgrade my pump and filter but just want to make sure it’s working good. Thanks!

[@EverydayMan]

It's working well for me.

[@jakehagenson7225]

@@EverydayMan thanks for replying! And good to know.

[@sosassy1967]

Why have you decided not to use the filter balls instead of sand?

[@EverydayMan]

Filter balls work really well until they dont. Then you have to replace them. Sand is easy to backwash and lasts for a long time.

[@Wrenchmonkey1]

@@EverydayMan You can just throw the filter balls in the washing machine.

[@taliahernandez6678]

Do you know what size nipple I would need for the 14 inch vevor and filter? I tried the inch and a half and it is the same size ugh

[@EverydayMan]

I'm not sure. I haven't seen the 14"

[@lindsayvinson2046]

I just got my 14 inch Vevor today and I am floored. 😡😡😡 it’s a joke.

How long did your intex pump last?

[@EverydayMan]

3 years.

I'm wanting to convert from cartridge to sand. I did have another Intex in mind, but this one is calling to me a bit, lol.

[@EverydayMan]

It's got a bigger motor than the intex one and will move more water.

I have a 14' x 42" round pool. Do you think that's too much power?

[@EverydayMan]

To much power, what does that mean? Lol
