How to troubleshoot Intex 26648 filter motor that fails to start?
If the Intex Swimming Pool Pump filter motor fails to start, ensure the line cord is plugged into a 3-wire outlet protected by a Class A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, or RCD.

What to do if my Intex 26648 Swimming Pool Pump doesn't pump water or flow is very slow?
If your Intex Swimming Pool Pump doesn't pump water or the flow is very slow, first check for any clogs in the inlet or discharge and clear any obstructions. Then, look for air leaks on the intake line and tighten hose nuts, inspect hoses for damage, and verify the pool water level. Clean the pre-filtering basket more often if the pool is excessively dirty. Backwash the filter if the sand media is clogged with dirt.
