The new pair also hurt my feet a lot, my right ankle hurts with every step, right pinky toe feels pained, and my left foot has an intensely painful pressure. They smell so chemically that i'm physically ill from the toxic material.

Bought adapter and fit well with existing sand filter. Purchased sandbox sand at lowes, about 1/4 the price. This pump (with suggested adapters) makes a huge difference in the reliability and cleanliness of the pool.

Reviewer noticed a small leak from one of the seals. Corrected issue and fired it up again, no issue. Replacing the worn out innards several times became expensive ($30 a pop) and frustrating.

The spec on this pump says it draws 3. In actuality it is not self-priming, and has a suction height of 0 feet.

They say email the seller. Buyer beware. I wish amazon could vet its suppliers/sellers.
