Why is the Intex Swimming Pool filter not pumping water or has very slow flow?
- JJoel StarkAug 23, 2025
If your Intex Swimming Pool filter isn’t pumping water or the flow is very slow, start by clearing any obstructions in the intake hose by discharging it inside the pool wall. Check for air leaks on the intake line by tightening hose nuts and inspecting hoses for damage, also check 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. 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 there's crusting or caking on the filtering sand surface. Remove any pool vacuuming device attached to the system line. Finally, ensure the inlet threaded air connector is connected to the pool inlet upper hole.
