    Well scratch that idea. I did a little more searching and found its reviews are not that good. sorry

    If you maintain your Intex using our methods you'll find your pump is adequate. It just takes regular, daily attention and you'll be fine.

    My first pool was an Intex donut--15'. Since I'm in my 8th season with my next pool, the Intex filter just went in the dumpster....but it worked fine for 3 years.

    I even was able to run a 4'x10' solar panel with it.

    sounds good. we'll see how it goes and hopefully all will be fine. If I don't have to spend more money that's FINE with me.
