Above Ground Sand Filter Pump Powered by 0.75 HP Copper Motor & 4400 GPH Flow
This VEVOR above-ground sand filter pump has a 0.75 HP copper-wound motor that moves 4,400 gallons of water per hour. This feature gives it the power to quickly process residential pool water and keep it crystal clear all swimming season long. Copper motor windings maintain a constant electrical resistance regardless of outside temperature, so the pump will perform the same whether it starts up in the cool morning or runs through the hottest part of the day.
16-Inch Filter Tank with Pre-Assembled Core for Block-Simple First-Time Setup
The 16-inch filter tank on this above-ground sand filter pump has the right media bed depth and surface area to handle mid- to large-sized residential above-ground pools during normal daily runtime. It keeps the water clear without running the pump for long periods, which would raise electricity costs. This unit is the best choice for pool owners whose water volume has outgrown smaller filter setups because the larger tank diameter directly increases filtration capacity compared to 12-inch systems.
6-Way Valve Covers Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Waste, Winter & Closed Functions
This above-ground sand filter pump features a six-position multi-port valve that combines all pool maintenance tasks into a single selector. It replaces the separate valves that traditional single-mode systems need to do the same job. Rotating the selector immediately adjusts the flow of water throughout the system to match the task at hand.
Leak-Resistant Threaded Fittings & Multi-Port Valve Seal Against Common Drip Points
This above-ground sand filter pump is designed to be leak-proof at the multi-port valve seat and the external threaded hose fittings, the two places where water typically leaks from regular filter installations. The reinforced valve seat keeps the seal tight, even as the position changes many times throughout the season. It stops the internal bypass leakage that occurs in cheaper valve assemblies when the seat seals wear out from frequent rotation.

Great pump for a great price!
We recently purchased a 15×30 above ground pool that came with a really poor, underpowered pump that would barely circulate the water. I did some research and found this pump, read the reviews both good and bad and decided to purchase it. The pump arrived quickly, was well packaged and easy to assemble. I have to say for a small pump it does exceptionally well in circulating the water and keeping the skimmer functional. If your in the market for a pool pump no matter the HP I highly recommend this one!

Perfect pool pump!
This pump is AWESOME!! Bought it to replace the pathetic intex pump, not only does the thing come ready to use after a quick few instructions but it’s super simple, extremely quiet, and SOOOO strong!! My only regret is not getting it sooner! It comes with the attachments so you can use your intex 1 1/4” hoses, VEVOR installed all the seals and everything and included replacements. I am throughly impressed! Esp for the price!!

Excellent flow rate
I ordered the VEVOR FlashPure Sand Filter Pump, 14 inch, 0.75 HP, 3500 GPH, and this system really impressed me right out of the box. Everything was packaged neatly and the unit comes with the filtration media already installed which saves a lot of setup time. The housing feels sturdy and the control valve is clearly labeled which makes the initial assembly very straightforward. Even without sand inside, the unit feels well built, although it is quite light when empty which is something to keep in mind when positioning it. The included hoses and fittings feel durable, and the clamps tighten evenly without slipping. Because it is winter here I cannot run it on my pool yet, but I did test the pump using buckets of water and the flow rate is excellent. It moves a surprising amount of water with strong pressure, and it primes quickly which is always a good sign for long term reliability. At 3500 gallons per hour, this filter can cycle an entire 12-foot round, 48-inch-deep pool in under an hour, which is impressive for a system in this price range. The motor runs smoothly and the sound level is reasonable for a pump of this size. One thing I really like is how easy it is to install. The hoses connect securely, the clamps tighten evenly, and the multiport valve feels smooth when switching between settings. The timer feature is a great bonus because it allows you to automate filtration cycles without needing a separate plug timer. Everything about the design feels user friendly which is ideal for above ground pool owners who want something simple but effective. The included media also means you do not have to buy sand separately which saves time and money. I could also see people using a filter like this for backyard ponds or water features because the flow rate is strong enough to handle larger bodies of water. The pressure it produces would be more than enough to run a waterfall or circulation loop. Once summer arrives, I am confident this pump will do an excellent job k

Very well made and well thought out. If you need a new filter pump, give this one a serious look.
It appears I may be the first person reviewing this pump. Unfortunately, it is still a bit too cold here in North Texas to set up the pool, so this review is primarily based on the unboxing and initial inspection. Over the years we’ve owned several above-ground pools. Last year I expanded our patio area and installed an 18-foot pool. It worked well overall, but the Bestway pump that came with it left a lot to be desired. The valve positions were marked with symbols instead of clear labels, and it did not include a built-in timer, which made daily operation less convenient. For this season I chose the Vevor 12-inch, 3/4 HP filter pump. One of the first things I noticed is that the valve positions are clearly labeled, which is a big improvement over pumps that rely on icons alone. The unit also comes preloaded with filter ball media. Filter balls are a nice alternative to sand because they keep the pump much lighter and easier to handle until the chamber is filled with water. At the end of the season I typically wash the filter balls rather than replace media. Cleaning them can be a bit unpleasant due to trapped debris and insects, and unlike sand, backwashing does not work the same way. After rinsing them out, I usually run a washing machine cleaning cycle to remove any residue. One advantage is that the filter balls can be reused season after season, whereas sand generally needs to be replaced more frequently. For demonstration purposes I removed the valve head to show the filter balls inside, although this step is not required during normal setup. The pump itself features a powerful 3/4 HP motor and includes a leaf trap to catch larger debris before it reaches the filter. It also comes with a separate plug-in timer that connects to the pump’s power port. I like this design because the timer can easily be replaced if it fails, and it could also be used for other applications during the off-season. Overall, the unit appears to be well built and thoughtfully desi

Strong (1) HP Motor - Filters 4,400 GPH - Large 16" Media Tank - Complete All in One Unit
Ordered this Sand Filter Pump – 16″ Filter Media Tank W/(1) HP Motor W/Cord & Plug – 4,400 GPH – Multiple Time Settings Operation Pump/Filter – Pre-Installed Filter Balls – (6) X Faster Filtration – Ready to Use Pump – for our above ground pool recently acquired from a local couple that was moving out of state. It holds about 12,000 gallons of water and they only used it this past late summer/fall. Advised because of their work schedule, they used it very little. It came with a small 1/3hp pump unit with sand filtration, but they advised it never really kept the pool clean as they had hoped. Since spring is just around the corner, we’ve been working on it and getting it seated and set up. After their information regarding the smaller pump with it, I decided to look for a better/larger unit and started shopping online, looking at pool pumps, filters, and supplies. When comparing various size pumps, the horse power of motors, filtration, brands, and prices and a unit large enough to do a good size pool, I saw this large 16″ filtration tank and complete unit that comes with a (1) full HP motor, and started reading about it. After reading that it’s large enough to handle our size pool, and that the (1) hp motor produces 4,400 GPH and that this tank comes with handy filtration balls with a “no sand needed” operation and a (6) X faster filtration, along with price, I ordered it. This is one nice and complete unit. I like the heavier grade (1) HP motor. It’s made with a metal housing with heat dissipating fins to steer off heat and that’s a big plus in my book when operating it for a continuous operation. Also like that it came complete with a tough larger 16″ tank made of tough polypropylene. Also like that it came with the round filter balls already installed and they can be cleaned and reused again and that completely eliminates the need of using costly sand all the time. The sand is a pain to deal with all the time anyway. My favorite part is that it has the setting fe
