What is best pump to replace with for 24' summer escapes above ground pool. Mine lasted a year and I need a new pump.

I don't know the best, but I replaced mine for my 16' with the 1500 and it's way more pump than it came with. This mother moves some water! And the amount of suction it provides for the vacuum is amazing.

Christy, a 24' pool most likely takes an SFS2000. I had replaced my SFS1500 after a year with a new one, which only lasted for 59 days. The unfortunate thing about that is that the warranty was only good for 30 days. I actually installed a stand alone pump and filter for my pool, and hard piped it all. I just couldn't justify purchasing another after such a short time. Hope this helps.

I bought the Intex 1500 GPAbove Ground Pool Filter Pump for my 22 ft round pool and it is awesome! I bought 2 of the replacement pumps that the summer escapes pool came with. The first lasted a season and the second one just a few months. Total waste. This index pump keeps my pool sparkling. I use the timer and run it 6 hrs a day. %100 improvement over the original summer escapes

I would say yes i have 24' pool i had to make some minor connecton changes for the pool line from the pump to filter. But this pump moves some water and its cheaper to run by about 20 dollars a month for me compared to my old pump. Hope this helps

We have a 24 foot pool and used it last year with no problem. Put them away for the winter and plan on using them again. Liked them so much I suggested that my local pool supply place should carry them.

I use THE Wanda the Whale pool vacuum that hooks directly to the filters intake and it works great for my 24ft x52 in intex pool. I would recommend this pump to anyone. goodbye chlorine and paper filters

We had so many issues finding the tiny pin holes at the top that we finally gave up. It gave us almost 3 seasons which seems to be the average. I wish I had some better news for you. We've moved on to the 18 x 48 Intex frame pool this year along with a salt water pump. So far so good. Good luck!

They did replace mine more than 2 months out, but we haven't taken it in. Saltwater again. It worked ok in pools, just not the ocean. They initially told us they wouldn't replace it, but they did - so it's questionable what the real policy is. We were glad to have an exception.

I don't believe pump is as good as really needed for this size pool. Ours lasted about 3 weeks before we had to replace.

Hello Alean.I converted mine to a Hayward sand filter. Bought a sfs 2000 pump but decided to go to a larger pump for our 20ft Summer escape. The Summer Escape Skimmer requires an adapter to take the place of the pump but after purchasing both decided to go with the larger Hayward skimmer. That required punching some new holes to mount but sealed without any problems. Hoses, PVC (1 1/2") and a platform for the pump and strainer.P.S. The Hayward Pump/strainer moves twice+ the water as the SFS2000 and uses about the same amount of electricity and can run hours and hours. The sand filter since mid summer 2012 has already paid for itself in the amount of skimmer filters I no longer buy. Hello Alean.I converted mine to a Hayward sand filter.

I have a 24' pool and this pump is amazing. I had a sand filter before this one and it definately didn't keep the pool as blue and sparkly as this. I don't think it would be too strong, definitely efficient for sure!

It should work. I've only had the pump for a couple of months my use is only occasional, like after a big rain, to pump the water out of my boat. It works great for that, just submerse it in the water and plug it in. But I'm only using a 4-5' length of hose because that's all I need. I'm not sure how long the pump would work because I would think that emptying a pool would be a lot of work for the pump, but it seems like a good quality pump in my experience so far. My guess is that you'd be using a 10-15' length of hose so that would probably cause the pump to work a little harder but I think you'd be okay. It should work.

I ditched this pump that came w/my above ground pool (although I loved the skimmer basket) and purchased an Intex 56635E 1,500-Gallon Filter Pump from Lowe's for around $70.00. The reviews for the SFS 1500 are all negative. The little winged wheel inside is guaranteed to break. It's just cheaply made. I wouldn't waste money replacing it w/another one.

Be glad that the moror is still working. This pump works fine and will have your pool working as it should. We had a leak in the pump last year and my husband tried sealing it. Held for one season but then I guess the frigid NY winter caused the seal to deteriorate. Ordered this pump and now it works great! Very easy to install. Good luck.

I used a two stage (hi & low) 1-1/2hp pump on my 24' pool. We ran that on low most of the time. I wouldn't hesitate to use this pump on a 24' pool. This is a good strong pump and filter.

I just started my second season with the pool and the pump/filter. I was completely satisfied with the pump last season, including using it to power a self propelled vacuum. This year I added a solar heater and had to connect an additional 15' of 1-1/2" hose on both the input and outflow hoses - plenty of power and no increase in pump pressure.

try http://www.sunpumps.com/ I would have gone with all solar, but the payback is too long. The Hayward draws about 1/2 amp less than stated on manual/plate in my installation. Please note amp draw will be dependent on how much resistance the pump has. The higher the resistance the higher the amp draw at any given RPM.

Any pump should work... but let me just say mine ended up coming apart after the first season of use
