Only lasts one year
on July 6, 2022

Quality is terrible. I've had to replace the control module/motor twice after one year each. the motor works fine, but the module that controls the salt processing fails far too quickly. My pump is in a pump house and out of the weather, but that doesn't seem to matter. When it works -its great, but doesn't last

Great until it dies

Great product that we used for few months last year. We started it up this year and everything seemed to be fine until the first storm (the filter was off at that time). Even though the filter is under the roofed area, the water has made its way to the pump and after drying it for three days in a row it started but the display is gone. Intex crew is not responding to my inquires. Moral of the story - keep your filter covered and out elements, because it is not sealed.

Terrible product, do not buy! Run the other way!!!

Bought the sand filter and saltwater system 14 months ago and used for 4 months when the electrode failed. Conveniently, this single part only has a 1 year warranty, and is 2/3 the cost of the whole system. Certainly will be the last piece of Intex equipment I buy. If you’re thinking about an Intex saltwater system, don’t. Run the other way!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was an upgrade to the pump I received with my pool. More powerful crystal clear water & easy to use. Love it fun in the sun

Useless warranty, essential part which doesn't last is unavailable (Titanium Electrode).

Stopped worked after 4 month

I bought this filter in Latvia at the DEPO store. It didn't even last one summer. In the warranty repair, they said there was sand inside (even though it’s a sand filter) and hair (since people swim in the pool). They also referred to the technical documentation, claiming that the filter was used against the regulations—meaning outdoors. Never mind that this filter is meant for an outdoor pool. It turns out that the filter can only be used indoors or under a shelter, where it won’t be exposed to rain, pool splashes, or anything similar. You can also see in other comments that people had the same problem as I did—it would regularly shut off and eventually stopped working completely. It seems that the automation doesn’t function properly. In short, if this filter breaks after one summer, the warranty will be completely useless, as there are plenty of reference points for why they won’t repair it under warranty. In the end, I didn’t even understand what the real issue was—whether it was the sand in the filter or the fact that water got into it. It seems like they wrote down every possible excuse just to avoid repairing it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
