Thanks so much. Guess I will have to order from intex. Hope my pool doesnt turn green for that long without a pump. Thats 8 days with no swimming.

I went everywhere. I got to walmart, the one an hr away. They had a sunland pump but was bigger than mine and did not know if it would fit, and also way too much money. The walmart in my area are out of these kind of pumps and are not getting any more. That was why I went the trip to walmart an hr away. So you put the pump on the table, no taking of the straining baskets and blocking with plugs? Wow. Next time I know better now. Going to the intex web page now.
