I bought one of these filters last year for my 18x48 above ground pool. It worked fine for the season but the cold winter cracked the pump and I needed to replace it this year. I bought a new one in May and it took a couple weeks to replace the hoses, add stop valves and get all the correct adapters. It started off okay and seemed to be filtering the water. After a few days, the pump would just stop and for a while I though it was my connection. Eventually I discovered the cord was bad and the pump would randomly stop working. I would have to twist the cord to get it to turn back on.I tried to return it to Amazon but I was a few days past the 30 day return window. I did call Amazon and I should be getting a refund once I return the filter. Of course, I have to buy another filter and hook that one up to my pool before I can return this one. I am super disappointed with this filter and the inconvenience of having to replace my filter and return a faulty filter full of sand.I have ordered the new filter and it is not one of these! I will not purchase another filter from this brand ever again. Definitely would not recommend.

Be forewarned that the instructions that come with this pump are completely inadequate. The parts listing is a rough sketch, and there are 2 sets of instructions; one for the pump tank and one for the motor. The tank instructions mention a glass view port. There is none. The motor instructions shows you how to turn the switch on and off. There is no switch. I turn it on by plugging it in. It shows you how to read the pressure gauge so you'll know when you need to backwash. Guess what? The pressure gauge does not work.I would have returned it and gotten another model, but I was desperate to make the water flow in my pool. My last pump got a crack in it and started leaking. Algae was growing like fascism and I had to wait several days for delivery.Once I got it figured out and connected, it seemed to work better that the old pump, but that's not saying much. I had to Google how to backwash because the first time I tried it, the pump blew chunks of debris into the pool as soon as I turned it on. Over time, the flow has seemed to decrease a bit. I'd love to prove that, but without a working pressure gauge, well...Note that this model comes with filter balls, not sand. I don't know if this is better or not. Mind you, I had a lot of algae to clean out. I've had to clean the filter balls twice now. It's very time-consuming to clean them well by spraying them off individually with a hose. I'd guess about 2 hours. It was maybe 150 balls.The next time, I got wise and filled an old cooler with water and filter cleaner spray, poured from the bottle. I put the balls in there and filled a separate rinse bucket with water. Swish them around and spray with the hose if necessary. I set up a chair in the shade and wasn't too bad.Overall, I would have rated this much lower (and would have returned it), but I was in dire straits and it turned out to be a slight improvement to my old, broken pump. Save yourself some time and frustration and get a better model. Better yet, buy an ionizer. That cleared my water much quicker than this pump.
