Once I got the pump primed it works great. I been using mine for my pond to circulate the water. Using a 1¼” line n it moves a good amount of water. Came with all the fittings. N extra rubber seals.

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
