Although I was originally able to fix the basic Flowclear swimming pool filter pump that came with my Bestway Steel Pro Max above ground swimming pool, the impeller had degraded so much that I had to buy a new Bestway sand filter pool pump. This video shows how I set up the Bestway Flowclear 800-gallon sand filter pump (model 58516E). I was able to buy it from Amazon for under $90, which is a real steal! This is very similar to the Krystal Clear Intex and Coleman pumps and they can be used interchangeably with all of these brand pools (sometimes need an adapter, though). In this video, I show how to set it up, installation instructions, how to backwash the sand filter, and I also go over each of the sand filter pump settings so you should be able to get yours going as well!

Here are links to what I'm talking about in this video:

-The more expensive version of this pool pump model is the Bestway 1500 Gallon Sand Filter (similar to Intex SX1500 Krystal Clear): https://amzn.to/3pJq2xp
-I highly recommend Pool Filter Sand (although I bought mine locally) instead of regular sand: https://amzn.to/3O3HF4u

If you're not ready to buy a new above ground swimming pool filter pump, you might be able to repair the old one you have if the impeller hasn't degraded too much! Here are some links to my other videos on how to repair a basic model paper filter Bestway or Intex brand Flowclear pump:

This base sand filter pump comes standard with many different "pop up" style pool kits. It also comes labeled as Intex pool pumps and with some Coleman brand pools. It's good for about 1 or 2 years, and then the impeller and rotor keys will eventually degrade because they made from cheap plastic. I couldn't find a replacement impeller online specifically for that filter pump, so I opted for a new Flowclear sand filter because my Dad and a friend both recommended them, and it is VERY CHEAP! Plus, it completely eliminates the need to buy expensive replacement paper filters because it doesn't use them! It just uses a natural circulation through sand to filter out impurities.
