What to do if the filter in my Intex 126340GN isn't cleaning properly?
- T
  Travis EdwardsSep 12, 2025
  If the filter of your Intex Swimming Pool isn’t cleaning the pool effectively, you should adjust the chlorine and pH levels, consulting your local swimming pool supply store for guidance. Ensure the tank is loaded with filter sand according to the 'sand loading instructions'. Set the valve to the 'FILTER' position. If the pool is excessively dirty, operate the filter for longer periods. Also, clean the strainer screen at the inlet if it's restricting water flow.

What to do if my Intex Swimming Pool pump doesn’t work?

  William HarrisonAug 23, 2025
  If the pump isn’t working, first, ensure the pool is filled to the correct water level. Next, clean the strainer screens at the pool inlet. Also, check for air leaks on the intake hose by tightening hose nuts and inspecting the hose for damage. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, contact an Intex service center, as the motor may be faulty or the impeller may be jammed.

Why is my Intex 126340GN Swimming Pool 6-way valve/cover leaking?

  If the 6-way valve or cover is leaking, first remove the 6-way valve cover and ensure the o-ring is in place. If the o-ring is dirty, clean it with garden hose water. Also, make sure the flange clamp is securely tightened. If the issue persists, the 6-way valve may be damaged, and you should contact an Intex service center.

What to do if Intex 126340GN filter motor fails to start?
- T
  Thomas LeeAug 27, 2025
  If the filter motor fails to start, there are several possible causes. First, ensure the line cord is plugged into a 3-wire outlet protected by a Class A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, or RCD. If the GFCI/RCD circuit breaker has tripped, reset it. If it repeatedly trips, your electrical system may have a defect, so turn off the breaker and call an electrician. It's also possible the motor is too hot; in this case, let it cool down before restarting.

Why doesn't my Intex 126340GN filter pump water or why is the flow very slow?
- K
  Keith GarciaNov 27, 2025
  If your filter isn’t pumping water or the flow is very slow, several factors could be responsible: * Check for clogged inlet or discharge and clear any obstructions in the intake hose. * Tighten hose nuts, inspect hoses for damage, and verify the pool water level to address potential air leaks. * Clean the pre-filtering basket more often if the pool is excessively dirty. * Backwash the filter if the sand media is clogged with dirt. * Ensure the nozzle is at the upper position of the pool inlet and the strainer at the lower position of the pool outlet. * Remove about 1” of sand if crusting or caking has occurred on the filtering sand surface. * Remove any pool vacuuming device attached to the system line. * Ensure the inlet threaded air connector is connected to the pool in...
