Review 1 for Hayward Pro Series Sand Filter Systems for Above Ground Pools
Overall Rating:
great value for the money,
Date:July 10, 2007
By sharon
Pros: works wonderful, excellent for above ground pools
Cons: none
"I would recommend this to anyone. I have a 16 X 48 Intex above ground pool and the small cartridge filter they give you with the pool does nothing for keeping it clean. Since I have gotten this filter, my pool is always sparkling clean and chemical use is down by 50%. The cost of the cartridges for the old filter was about 15.00 a week so this is going to pay for itself in a matter of months. I would recommend this for anyone with a smaller above ground pool"

Pros: clears up water quickly and very easy to operate pump and filter great quality
Cons: fittings cheap,hoses cheap, gage cheap, directions very lose for interprataion
"ok just for starters several leaks in the fittings had to use close to a roll of teflon to stop the leaks next, the hose's provided kink and collapse when not just so, hooked up the vacuum and more of the same collapse with the hose's thank goodness i had installed gate valves to gian some controll over the water flows between the skimmer and bottom drain otherwise i would not have been able to vacuum my pool i will be hard pluming the system this weekend so i will be able to use the full volume of the unit without running the risk of burning up the pump when the lines kink. the filter has done a great job of keeping my water clean and clear the last intex was running 12 to 15 hours a day and vacuum every couple of days also had to clean the filter every day, i have been running this one about 5 to 6 hrs a day without always cleaning a filter and vacuum once a week, the water is beautiful thank you Hayward and in the swim I now enjoy my pool more without all the work."

Pros: great circulation, cleaning and longevity.
Cons: none
"We have an old pool, about 10 yrs. old. The sand filter and pump were still working great but the top piece with the levers were failing. We couldn't backwash and the pool looked terrible. We tried to find just the top piece in our local pool shops--we tried 2 kinds but were unable to get a fit. So I called up " In the Swim" and they found the right one and sent it to us. They saved us money and time and a lot of headache. Now the whole system works (old and new-- all Hayward Pro Series) and the pool is beautifully clean."

"We have a 16x48 Intex pool and have used the small pump for 2yrs that came with it. We have spent so much money in filters and products to try and keep our pool clear and decided that we needed to do something different this year. We purchased this pump on a Saturday and came on a Tuesday. The pool was sparkling clean withen 2 days. Unbelievable!!!!! Love this pump and sandfilter. Sorry we waited so long to purchase one. Worth the money......."

"we bought the 100 lb 16 in sand filter soon after the start up of swim season. this filter works great. it keeps our 24 round pool so much cleaner and it has cut down on the amount of vaccumming we've had to do most of this summer. i would highly reccommend it!"

"We ordered the 21" sand filter for our 27' x 52" Intex pool after trying for 3 weeks to get the water clear with that ridiculous cartridge filter after opening the pool this year. The filters are $10 a piece and we used 8 in that 3 weeks. We ordered the sand filter on Friday, it was here Saturday, we installed it on Monday and by Thurday, the pool was absolutely clear. Thank you In The Swim. You have a customer for life."

By Irocz
Pros: great quality -easy install- and filters great, water has never been so clean
Cons: None so far
"got this filter last week, and am very happy with it, Really a good price for what you get. Shopped around and you might get an off brand filter for the price, but not a haywood.
filter was here two days before it was to be delivered so that was great.
In the swim, good place to shop far as I am concerned"

Pros: Very well constructed
Cons: none
"This system is an ideal fit for my 24' round, 52" high pool. It has a larger sand tank which keeps the water cleaner. You don't want to go on the small side for filtration. The matching pump keeps the water turning over many times a day, which also keeps the water crystal clear."
