If it's a larger filter than the one you have, it's always gonna be better!! Seriously, it's always going to be better to have an oversized filter than to have an oversized pump. The more filtering space you have, the quicker you're going to be able to filter out water problems, too. If you decide to go with it, make sure you read the feedback on the site--indicates that you may need to use different hoses with it.

Some people with intex pools have upgraded to a sand filter--not sure if there's one available for your pool or not, but you might want to check and cost-compare.

Also, if you do decide to buy this filter, PLEASE read through this thread first http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php?t=10006 because if you go through the link Ben has posted, PoolForum makes a commission from the sale!!
