I'd like to use this pump over the wall of my 12x36 above ground pool. Does anyone know if it would work ok this way?

Ive got an 14 x 42 and ran the outlet hose through the gap at top of metal t stantion / support . You do need to get it up off the ground it will not pump all the way from the ground over the side wall

Works for my 12x24x48" above ground pool. Just had to jury-rig a couple of straps to hold it in place, and add a weight to hold it down. I used an empty chem bottle filled with rocks. Keeps the top of the pool clean and clear, and I was surprised at the amount of debris the filter caught.

ive got mine on a small patio table about 18 " up about 1/2 way to top . you.ll know if it pumps it over its high enough . would be nice if they made all the pumps with the same size hoses but nooooo thats to easy

I would not recommend this water wheel for an above ground pool because it is too big. I have a good size in ground pool and find that it takes up quite a bit of room.

That is a big above ground pool, but I do not see why you couldn't use it for an above ground pool. Might be harder to get off though.

No it cannot be used for above ground pool. It has a base at the bottom that needs to be secured with anchour bolts.

I used it for my 30 foot round above ground pool..actually it is nice because you can lift one end up and rotate to do it by yourself...Pretty hard to get it back up by yourself. I may install a post this year and just swing it over to the post and leave one end on the pool.

I wish I could answer your question, but I am using my unit on a 1 3/4 hp pump for a 10,000 gallon in ground pool. The only issue I have is that the hose gets heavy wit the water and the cleaner does not make it all the way around my pool.

Yes. You can go up on the HP, just not down. Yes, size makes a difference. We have a 24ft round above ground pool. The pool stays much, much cleaner with the bigger pump. Run it at least twelve hours per day. Also, it is nice having two speeds. You should be able to run it on low and keep clean water. But it's nice to backwash on high to get done quicker! Hope this helps!

If your pool is 15 feet by 36 feet it will not be able to clean your pool enough. If your pool is 15 feet round and 3 feet tall, this pump would work ok, but you could use a smaller pump and cost you a lot less.

You can use this with above ground swimming pools, as long as the filter flow rate is less than 4000 gallons per hour. It's quite simple to install with intex pump and filter, but if it's not, you will need a few things from home depot. I would suggest two 2" union fittings (slip), Two 2" female adapters (one sif s is threaded the other smooth), and some 2" elbows will be needed. For more info email me hookdup88@gmail

I don't know if your pool is above ground or built in. For above ground I think all you really need is a bypass kit. For in ground (which I have) all you need is to pipe a side stream off the pump and back into the pool. I have 4 units, 2 units in series on each of 2 parallel side streams. I haven't had it installed long enough to see some hot weather and find out how well it works.

Of course I have an in ground pool and have never had an above ground pool. So with that said I do not see why it could not be used in an above ground setting. Not much of an answer, sorry.

First of all I had 3 of them. The first one worked for about 3mo. They gave me another 2 which never worked right out of the box. When called the last time I got ignored. But in answerer to your question yes it would work if the product worked. I have a 12k above ground pool and when the first one was working it did the job but was at its limit. I would not recommend this product to my worst enemy. I saw one on TV from a major filter company that was inline like this one, I would try it before wasting money on this thing.

Yes I used mine with our above ground pool. My husband installed a union and put it in line from the filter to the water output.

I have it on an eighteen foot Intex above ground pool and it's on the third year and still keeps it clean. I would think it should work for you.

Yes, it doesn't connect to the pool in any way, so it would work in any pool 36" and under (even a kiddie-pool, to enter the realm of the ridiculous). Don't forget to keep your pump running a lot (I got a timer to keep it on all day (and off at night), and to use an adequate amount of chlorine to keep algae from growing! We love our 30" pool!

I had a Baqua Pure pump from the same place and replaced it with pump in question and works great. Mine was for a 24' above ground pool. Hope this will help you.

I use it for an in ground pool and works perfect. It will also work for an above ground pool if you have the proper piping. All it does is, that the same pool pump you have runs the water through the panels before going back into the pool
