Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which model size should I choose for my pool?
A: Choose the 12in (2400GPH) for pools up to ~13,000 gallons, the 13in (3800GPH) for pools up to ~16,000 gallons, and the 16in (4500GPH) for pools up to ~20,000 gallons. When in doubt, size up for better filtration efficiency.
Q: What does the 6-way valve do?
A: The 6-way multiport valve lets you control six functions from one dial: Filter (normal operation), Backwash (clean the sand), Rinse (settle sand after backwash), Recirculate (bypass filter), Waste (drain water), and Close (shut off flow). This gives you complete control over your pool’s water management.
Q: How does the built-in timer work?
A: The integrated timer allows you to set automatic on/off schedules for the pump, so your pool filters at optimal times without you needing to manually start or stop it — saving energy and maintaining consistent water quality.
Q: Is this pump compatible with my above ground pool?
A: Yes. This sand filter pump is designed specifically for above ground pools and is compatible with most standard above ground pool plumbing connections.
Q: Is this a good replacement for my existing pool pump?
A: Yes. This pump is a popular upgrade or replacement for aging above ground pool pumps. The 6-way valve and timer make it more versatile and energy-efficient than many basic models.
Q: What type of sand does this filter use?
A: This pump uses standard pool filter sand (typically #20 silica sand). Sand is not included and should be purchased separately based on your model’s tank capacity.
