Hello, New to Forum.

OK, My pump totally sucks. What is going to be my best reasonably choice for a replacement. It spits out a lot of what should be in the filter and several times a day have to back wash and thae the output jet off and clean cause so much big stuff comes back out and clogs it up.

Those are not pump problems, they are filter problems.

Did you ever get the upgrade cartridges?

[Pappy]

This is what we upgraded to this year. It is much better than the cartridge and a LOT less maintenance.

You can find it on Amazon for much less money than direct from Intex. http://www.poolforum.com/amz/

Intex Sand Filter Pump 2100 GPH

Here's a step by step of our change over.

If you decide to stay with the cartridge, you NEED to get GOOD cartridges (Unicel or Filbur) referenced here.

The exact model you got seems to be discontinued but I changed to the link of the current closest model.

Thank yall so much for the quick replies. No, BigDave on the up grade cartridges yet. And I am having to replace these cheap suckers about every 3-5 days. Was waiting for refund and now going to order the unicel since had such bad luck trying to get the Filbur. Did get the skimmer in and ended up also putting a stocking in it to hopefully help catch as much stuff before it goes to the filter. Got a better vacuum which, discovered while vacuuming so much stuff was just shooting back into the pool as it cycled through the filter. Now Until I improve filter I'm using my broom and sweeping everything in a pile, letting settle again then siphoning out. Luckily so far have been keeping my chem levels pretty good. Still have pH 7.5-7.8 but, pretty stable. Hoping to see big improvement then with the filters. And yes, I'm remembering to enjoy the pool. Kids and grandson, Too. I guess I'll update when I get the new filters in. Thanks again Watermom, BigDave, Pappy, and PoolDoc.
