INTEX Sand Filter Pump Questions & Answers
Index sand filter pump SF 20110 will not blow water into pool
I don't know how much time you are giving it, but sometimes when I start my pump, it'll take 20 minutes or so for it to start a full stream of water. Also, make sure the valves are turned to the unlock position on the incoming and outgoing hoses.
No pressure on gauge on filter pump
The same thing happened to me. So frustrating! I guess the pump that comes with the intex pool is not strong enough to do this. At least that is what I was told. So I just ended up sending that vaccum back and getting a catfish vaccum. Works great!
How do a fix an intex sand pump that will not turn on
Sounds like you have experienced a common problem. Your pump apparently had failed. The motor is in need of replacement. If this is so: my suggestion is to replace with a real Pool Industry Pump! Not an Intex toy.
Have a service provider come out and confirm this, if you can't do it yourself, then if it is confirmed that your pump failed, get one from a Pool Industry Supplier with a real pool pump like: Pentair, Hayward, Waterway or Jandy/Zodiac.
Can I fix my input valve, on my sand filter, while water is in the pool?
IF YOUR ASKING IF YOU CAN REPLACE THE MULTIPORT VALVE ON TOP OF SAND FILTER HOUSING WITH WATER STILL IN POOL , SURE ITS POSSIBLE . 1ST UNPLUG PUMP POWER !!!! SECOND USING A COUPLE OF TRASH BAGS ADD ENOUGH AIR INSIDE OF THEM TO FIT JUST TIGHT ENOUGH DOWN INTO SKIMMER ON SIDE (ME I USE A OLD POOL TOY) WEIGHT OF WATER WILL HOLD THEM IN THERE , NOW YOU CAN DISSCONNECT YOUR HOSES , A SLIGHT TRICKLE MAY COME OUT (EASY TO REPLACE LOST WATER VOLUME) REPLACE THE VALVE , WAIT FOR GLUE TO COMPLETLY DRY (IF USED) THEN RECONNECT HOSES , REMOVE TRASH BAGS FROM SKIMMER(LET AIR OUT) , RECONNECT PUMP AND TEST FOR LEAKS
Runs
pool pumps should run at least two hours for every one hour of pool use , this should be doubled if pool recieves a heavy useage of more than three swimmers timers on most of the intex models are set with trip pins , in towards center to be off and out from center to be on
Why has motot gotten noisey
over time motors get noiseier by wear that occurs in shaft sleeve bearings , this wear is accelerated by water/rust that might get inside , also if pump is new not running a Level base will wear out pump/motor early as well
motor replacemnt is most common way of resoloving this
My intex sand filter collar ring will not lock down
1st make sure filter basket is all the way down ,It only will fit all the way down 1 Way , this is a common problem with these, 2nd on new housings allways use a touch of foodgrade/ water proof grease on O-ring seal , this will make the seal pop right into its groove and seal up tight !! this grease is easy to find in your local hardware supply store look for Kitchen faucet grease , only use this type of grease Not petrolem jelly as this will chemically dammage the housing and ring
