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.
