An Excellent Pool Filter!
Intex Pool has been around for quite some time, specializing in swimming pools and equipment. I have owned both Intex and Bestway swimming pools, and a filter pump was included with each purchase.
Having experienced both first hand, I am a huge fan of the Intex Krystal Clear Pool Filter Cartridge Pump for swimming pools. I currently have the Intex Krystal Clear Pool Filter Cartridge Pump paired up with a Bestway Swimming Pool and it works perfectly.
The filter that came with the Bestway pool (800+ gallons) was underwhelming and the water would not turn over enough to keep the pool clean. Algae was always a constant problem.
Since switching over to the Intex Krystal Clear Pool Filter Cartridge Pump, 1000 GPH, we have not had that problem.
We use to empty the swimming pool once a week, and now, we have not changed it in weeks. The filter is on at least 8 hours, every day and we toss in 2-3 chlorine tablets to maintain the water and top it off each time we’re done using it.

Hi do you know if the Bestway filters fit into the Intex pumps?
They look very similar but don’t want to buy to and find out they don’t fit.

I think they do, I had to swap the Bestway pump out since it was under performing. See this video here for more details: https://youtu.be/0NjoqOTo9wY
