XtremepowerUS 16" Above Inground Swimming Pool Sand Filter System 7-Way Multi-Port Valve Pool Filter up to 21,000 Gallons with Stand

Purchased 8/2021 and has worked great. If I could find the o ring/gasket replacement I wouldn’t need to buy another one in 2025. Can’t complain it’s been a great filter for the $!

Love this. Love the price. Installation was straightforward. I always suggest using pool super lubricant for all seals. No problems!

Had an issue with the seal leaking on the diverter valve after almost 2 years, reached out via email and replacement part shipped out promptly. Excellent customer service..

Received on time. ***** Box and Contents in tact.***** When I opened the box and saw the box within, containing the "Multiport Valve," "Plain as day, on each side, it reads ""6-Way,"" NOT 7-Way Valve as advertised and mentioned throughout product description!!! For that, I say *** stars. I did not contact the seller to see if they would send me a 7-Way Valve. That was one of the selling points compared to others! The was not a parts breakdown list. The instructions lacked a lot. ** stars. I found a few similar filter installation videos on "You Tube." After that, it went together easy, except for my own existing plumbing. It is quite the cramped maze, but it all works fine. There are no leaks in the tank, including the drain valve. After reading other comments about the pressure gage, I added a few extra layers of plumber's tape and it works just fine. Less than 24 hours my pool was clean! No comment on the suction; I already had my own pump, 1.5HP, by Hayward. It would have been 5 stars overall, had the seller sent the "7-Way Multiport Valve" and not the "6-Way Valve." I used 300lbs. of HTH Sand, purchased at "Ace Hardware," locally. Approx. $12.00 per bag. A little cheaper at Home Depot, but I had to drive 100 miles round trip to get it. I make sure to use the back wash, followed by rinse, the back to filter. I only use a clockwise motion. I shut the pump off each time before changing the function. The inlet / outlets are clearly stamped / molded into the valve assembly.UPDATE: JUNE 13, 2020!The system is up and running flawlessly in June, 2020. The water is sparkling clear now. I can see the smallest dirt particles in the deepest part of my in-ground pool, 5 ½ ft. deep.So far, so good. I will take pictures and post / add later.Btw, due to some other post concerning the pressure gage’s leaks, wrong size, etc. I took the precaution and used extra Teflon / Plumber’s tape and screwed it right in. Mine works just fine. In fact, this is the best working gage I have ever used on two previous systems. The first system was sand. The second was a large paper filter system. The gages never really worked.This pressure gage worked day one. I used a black permanent marker to mark the original pressure, then moved over 5 psi and made another mark, so I knew when to “Back-flush.” It reached the second mark only once. The meter now reads 2-3 psi above the original mark. With the system off, meter drops to Zero. When turned back on, it returns to normal operating range.I also have the Hayward 1.5hp Super Pump. No leaks at all have occurred. I used 1 ½” pressure fittings, elbows, break away unions for winter weatherizing, and brand new valves from “Ace Hardware.” All pipe is 1 ½” PVC.I WOULD NOW BUY IT AGAIN. Yes I would recommend. Just clarify "7-Way or 6-Way valve when ordering," regardless of who you buy it through.

We have an above ground pool and had a smaller sand filter attached. Bought this as a replacement it was a lot bigger but it’s perfect it keeps the pool a lot cleaner which has in turn cut cost on our chemical use. Wish I would have done this a long time ago. Live and learn as they say.

After 2 months of running the lank sprung a leak. Spend the extra couple dollars age get a better one.

This is a must for Intex like above ground pools! Intex cartridge filters have only gotten worse over the years and never seemed to work well. We have been using intex pools, 18’ and larger, for about 10 years. We bought a 3/4 hp pump and this sand filter in 2022 and my only regret is not getting it sooner!! The pool rarely if ever turns green now and is always crystal clear. A stronger pump might work better but 3/4 hp has worked for us! The same sand has also lasted since 2022 but in 2025 we will need to replace the sand. Highly recommend adding a sand filter system to your intex like pool!!

The sand filter is the perfect size for my hot tub if it's perfectly in a small space. It is built of good quality and the price was very reasonable. It functions good and is set up easily.
