XtremepowerUS 19" Above Inground Swimming Pool Sand Filter System 7-Way Multi-Port Valve Pool Filter up to 24,000 Gallons with Stand

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.

Liked it was cheaper than the other that looks the same. Perfect for clearing up my water. Filled with new sand, ran for a day and clean water as a result. My pressure is running at 10 psi. No quality issues at all. Just opened the pool this year, working great.

The media could not be loaded. This filter works perfectly for my above ground 28’ pool. The water has been crystal clear since installing this filter. The quality is excellent, everything works and is pretty easy to put together. I paired this filter with a 2hp pump from the same company. I’d buy this again 100%. Price is right just like the quality.

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.

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

I installed the XtremepowerUS 19" sand filter in my pump-house for my 16,000 gallon pool. I should have returned it as soon as I realized it was built upside down and backwards and obviously poorly made. But I needed the pool up and running. It worked okay for about 30 days then developed a leak in the inlet casting as shown on the attached photo. It's past the warranty and/or return date so my next purchase will be for flex seal tape to fix the leak. Save yourself the headache and buy something a little more well-built.

I normally don’t write a review for anything. Actually this is my first time. I have got to say this filter is amazing. I purchased the 16” filter and filled it with 100lbs of sand. At first I was a little annoyed because the instructions are horrible but a quick YouTube video cleared it all up.Once assembled I let it run for 12 hours. Mind you I couldn’t see the steps in my little pool when I hooked this thing up. 12 hours later I could see the steps and that there was a drop to the deeper end. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves after a full 24 hours of run time.I had to discharge the filter 2 times during the 24 hours of total use because of just how much crud was in my pool. Now I can see through it and it’s clear as day.No leaks and no issues what so ever

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..
