No, the pump goes with the filter. You can't use an Intex pump with a standard type filter.. AND, I am NOT recommending that combo, especially not yet.
I would recommend the Unicel replacement filters; they will help now. BUT, you need to learn to operate your pool as is, before you complicate it with alternative systems. You CAN run a fairly clear pool with the OEM filter & pump you have. It's easier with the Unicel cartridges.
