I have the 10 ft easy set pool and the filter quit on me...the hoses on this are different. Is there a way to use this with the smaller pool?

You might be able to rig it with a plastic fitting from the hardware plumbing department but I'm not sure. I rigged a sump pump hose with plumbing couplings when my dog chewed up the one that's for the catch basket and water intake hole. Check out the black sump pump hoses but since they were too long, I cut it and stuck it in a 2(?) inch 90degree pcv fitting. Its held up well. If the hose is too big for your spout, look into a hose ring, like the ones you find on your dryer vent or maybe find one of the couplings that have a size smaller than the other side. Good Luck!

The connections are different, but where the hoses meet the pump the diameter is (I think) 1 and 1/4. If your hoses are this diameter you should be okay. Search for my review for exact numbers. I am writing this from my phone and going from memory.

The pump will work but the hose size is different, so you would have to reduce your hose size. Otherwise it would work.

Sure is, but you'll need to cut the holes larger for the hoses to fit. I have an older pool that still had the little black parts where you put the hoses in. Those need to be removed by cutting and the hole enlarged. Have a vinyl repair kit on hand in case you make too large. The pump works so well with my older intex 13 ft metal framed pool but I'm going larger next year! Love this pump so worth it!

I'm not sure. This filter belongs to one of the larger pumps for the larger pools. Our previous pool was smaller and so was the pump and the filters were different.

Have you ever used a pool pump before? If so, it's basically the same. It's not that difficult. Just follow the directions. You just have to be sure to attache the flow correctly. Put the filter in and your pretty much set to go. It was one of the best investments I made. Love this kind of pump.

Remove the paper filter cartridge and the micron sock from the junk pump that came with your pool. Hook it up to the skimmer and hook up a waste hose to it and use it as a vacuum. Works great and you don't have to use your combo that your gonna buy.

If I understand your question correctly, sounds like maybe you have the wrong size hose from the pump back to the pool. Are you going through a sand filter?

It would not work with mine. The hose was too small and the basket also. It seemed as if this was for a smaller kiddie type pool.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work any make or model pool with the proper hose connections and proper amount of volume for filter size.

If this is a suction vac that plugs in to the side of the pool, this filter will work. It is an inline filter, which means that it is installed in the hose about two feet from the side of the pool.

Does anyone have any experience using this ladder with an easy set pool? I feel this is much safer than the one that comes with it.

You should be able to hook it up to your filter. You may have to get creative with fittings and decide if you want to hard pipe your filter to the skimmer or use hoses. The tricky part will be cutting an opening in the side of your pool. It is very important that you make sure the skimmer is level. I hope this helps you. Good luck

I could never find the shorty filters, so I sucked it up and bought the larger pump / filtration unit. I buy the filters OFF season and stock them in my shop until pool time. Several people said the filters are made to be cleaned and re-used. I've never had any luck with that, so longer life from filters IS saving me money. We run ours 24 / 7 too.

I used some of the sections from my barracuda and they worked fine. The hose that came with the kreepy was not long enough to reach the end of my pool. Also used my existing attachment end piece that fits into the suction outlet on the pool. Does not come with one on this model and the one I ordered, that shows being for this unit, was not a snug fit on my pool.

I removed the nuts from the adapters and put a 1 1/4 flexible coupling over that end. It's a tight fit but it will go on. And then you can place that over the end on your pool. Secure the hose clamps and you're in business. I don't have any leaks. I also purchased the intex skimmer plate so that I can vacuum the pool easier. I just use the top hat looking pieces that came with the pool to keep water from flowing out if I have to do anything with the sand filter. It beats paying through the nose for plunger valves

I've got a 18ftx4ft pool and it worked fine for me. I think these are all pretty standard sizes. I actually don't close off the water flow when I clean my filter though. I unscrew the top, take the filter out and let the water flow out the top until it's clear. The water in the housing will be largely unfiltered water anyway and tends to collect a lot of crud on the dirty side of the filter. When the water flowing out the top is clear, I put the top of the housing back in place and take the filter and clean it. Then I re-open the filter housing and put the filter back in. The water you loose this way isn't enough to really affect the pool level if you are reasonably careful. I've got a 18ftx4ft pool and it worked fine for me.

I have a above 12*18 foot pool and it works fantastic. No more hassle with hoses and getting the pressure right to vacuum plus using this keeps all that dirt out of your filter. so easy and so worth it

Yes, just use the shut off valves from pool to filter pump. Disconnect hoses and replace with new ones. Or you can lower water level below the lowest outlet and replace that way.

I use the hose from my pool vac. One end is pushed onto the blower and the other goes into the skimmer line. Works great!
