Intex 28003E Deluxe Above Ground Pool Maintenance Kit for Minimum 800 GPH Flow Rates with Vacuum, 110" Pole, Wall Brush and 24' Hose (Color May Vary)

It works! I gave this kit five stars simply because it does exactly as I hoped it would. No quibble could tarnish my satisfaction with the product or the seller. The product arrived at my home one day before the beginning of the promised delivery range. The price was better than I could find elsewhere. Packaging and merchandise were in perfect condition. So, FIVE STAR SELLER. Buy with confidence.I bought this kit to clean up the sand and debris that settled at the bottom of my 18'x48" Intex. We have had pools the whole time my kids were growing up. We started with small pools with venturi vacuums and worked our way up to a 27'x52" pool with a DE filter and an excellent vacuum. Of all the vacuums I've had, I like this one best.Take a look at the picture I attached. This is the bag in the filter. It's a big picture. Hopefully, you can see that the bag is filled with sand. So, the vacuum sucks up grains of sand and the bag holds it until. No sand in the filter and no sand sneaking through the net bag. There is a little rubber flap which opens during vacuuming and closes when you disconnect the filter. This keeps debris from finding its way back into the pool. The kit includes an adapter which attaches the included hose to the inteke of the filter. The hose just presses onto the adapter. The vacuum has two heads. The one I used today is just a flattened tube. It did a great job with the sand. If I had to scrub the liner, I would have used the other head which has bristled. One more good thing about the vacuum: the pole is very rugged and extends to 9' -- just enough to clean my pool from outside. The 20' One bad thing about the vacuum: The vacuum body is a 'quick disconnect' rather than a full thread and it came apart a couple times during my cleaning session. You really have to be careful screwing the parts together then be careful not to put too much pressure on the handle. Turned out to be a minor annoyance.Here's a tip for those having trouble filling the 20' hose: hold both ends underwater with one hand and fill one end from a garden hose until water comes out the other with no air bubbles.Everything else in the kit is fine. The net appears to be durable. The brush is very easy to handle due to its smaller size. Two thumbs up for an effective, inexpensive Pool Maintentance Kit.

We purchased a sand filter at the beginning of the season. We loved the filter as it circulated the water much much better than the filter that came with the pool! We have an 18' Intex metal frame pool. We purchased another vacuum from a box store, but even with an adaptor, I couldn't get it to work properly due to air remaining in the line and the hoses would NOT fit properly. After researching further, I decided to purchase this kit-knowing it was at least the same brand as the pool and should work. The package came quickly and in perfect condition. I was anxious to try it out, so I quickly opened it and headed to the pool.I had researched online how to get air out of the line-put hose to the return to allow hose to fill up with water-quickly take hose to the suction and attach. However, I still had issues keeping air out of the line. I would prime the pump again and again and was ready to scream! Finally, I read on someone's review to use the little bitty plastic cap that looks like a plug for a float. It should be in the bag that came with the pool. I had 2 of them. Place that over the air valve at the top of the inlet valve and wallah!!! It worked! I usually have to prime the pump at least once initially, but I've learned how to do it pretty quickly.This vacuum works beautifully. I typically use the larger one that has the filter inside of it. It picks up a lot of debris. When we have a lot of leaves, I have to empty it once while doing the whole pool, but it is fairly easy.I was skeptical initially thinking this is just a dinky kit. However, I have been pleasantly surprised. The pole is of good quality (unlike the cheap, flimsy one that comes with most), the brush is excellent and the hose and vacuum work well. I have no complaints with this product. I wish I had found it sooner. I haven't used the leaf net, so I can't report on that.I have used it for several months now, so I feel like I've given it time to report on it accurately. It's definitely better than the one where the hose attaches. I was tired of dragging the hose around the pool all of the time!
