design flaw Jul 07, 2008
By ML this pump came with my Intex inflatable ring pool (18x48) I bought in 2007. The pump action is plenty strong for taking care of business with a pool this size. However, the impeller design leaves much to be desired. The impeller is attached to a plastic covered magnet which spins to create the pump action. After a year (about 4 months of use where I live) the plastic cover over the magnet broke and the magnet is beginning to rust out. It still works at an impaired level, and it makes a lot of noise. I bought this on June 23, 2007. I called Intex on July 7 2008 - 2 weeks out of warranty, and the Intex rep said "there is nothing we can do for you." I asked about a replacement impeller, he said they dont sell just the impeller (which is rediculous, as they break all the time). I asked if they could cover me under the warranty as it's only been a couple weeks outside of the year. He said "we can't do that." So now I'm stuck having to shell out for a new pump once the rest of the plastic dislodges from the impeller. Save your money. Intex pools are great, but buy a different brand name pump to service the pool if you can. These pumps are not built to last. As for Intex customer support, their policy is 1 year and I can't argue with them, though not working with a customer when their product is only 2 weeks out of warranty is pretty pathetic.

HOW TO STRENGTHEN PUMP & MAKE IT LAST Apr 21, 2011
By blinn79 I read many reviews on these intex pumps, and the problem that seems to plague them is a cheaply made plastic impeller that moves (pumps) the water. So listen up folks... if you buy a replacement pump, or even buy a pool set for the first time, BEFORE you even use the pump for the first time, take it apart until you can remove the impeller. This is pretty simple requiring only about 4 or 5 screws be removed... just make sure you pay attention to how it comes apart (especially the washers around the impeller). Then go down to walmart, home depot, lowes, or any auto parts store and buy some EPOXY. This should be two different liquids (or gels) that come in two different tubes that you must mix together. This stuff is SUPER STRONG, and most are rated for 2,500 to 3,500 lbs per square inch of strength... like steel almost. So what your going to do is get a small paint brush, and "paint" the impeller with epoxy, making a SUPER STRONG coat over the cheap plastic. Just make sure you don't get any on the inside of the hole in the center of the impeller where it slides onto the metal rod. Allow it 24 hours to dry (depending on what type of epoxy you use), and then reassemble the pump. I guarantee this will save you money and headaches in the long run. Also if any other plastic parts break on the pump, you can use this epoxy to fix/repair/strengthen them as well.

Intex 1500 Filter Pump Sep 07, 2008
By Overworked This pump is great!! I used it in a 12'x30" Easy Set pool and it kept my pool crystal clear this summer. It comes with the hoses. I also bought the hose adapters to adapt my skimmer and return valve and they fit perfectly. Definitely an improvement from the standard pump they give you with the pool. That pump broke within two weeks of use and never really had any suction. If you are looking to upgrade your filter I would recommend you buy this one.

Impeller is a joke Jul 12, 2008
By R. Hetherington
"frustrated pool owner"
I bought the pool in 2007 and the original pump impeller blades sheared off just out of warranty. I ordered a new Intex Model 635 3 weeks ago and the blades on the impeller have sheared off completely!! I'm very frustrated with this pool and filter system. Seriously wondering why I've invited this headache into my life. Very poor design, very poor performance. I'm hoping the replacement will have a better impeller design but I highly doubt it. Lost all faith in this company.Krystal Klear Wet Set 1500 Gallon Intex Pool Filter Pump

Poor impeller design Jul 03, 2008
By T. Myers I bought the 18' pool Mar 07. I am on my third pump (under warranty) as the impellers kept breaking the blades (likely because of the poor filter design). No way to just replace the impeller so now my THIRD pump impeller blades went. On some sites you can see that for 2008 they have a new impeller design (probably cost too much replacing warranty broken impellers). I am upgrading to 2500 or 4000 gph pump. Still researching but want to HIGHLY discourage buying any of the 635 pumps, definitely if they are not the "new" impeller design for 2008 and even then Im not going to buy one!
