Best Pump/Filter for Intex 16' x 48" pool

[djonesax]

I have the same pool. My pump/filter lasted me 2 seasons before the pump locked up. For a while I could kick the thing to get it moving again but it eventual settled to a steady hum. I replaced it with a sand filter system I got for free on craigslist. Watch craigslist in the winter months and people put filter systems up for free or dirt cheap just to get rid of them. you may have to do some repair work but hey its free.

Hayward does make a very small pump/filter combo that can be had for as little as $250 new. I think it's either a 1/4 or 1/3 hp pump and it should be ideal for a small pool like that. Check their web site for the model and then google it.
