How to fix Intex SF80220 filter motor that fails to start?
If the Intex Swimming Pool Pump filter motor doesn't start, first ensure it's 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, there may be an electrical defect requiring an electrician. Also, the motor may be too hot; let it cool down before restarting.
Why is my Intex SF80220 Swimming Pool Pump not pumping water or the flow is very slow?
If your Intex Swimming Pool Pump doesn't pump water or the flow is very slow, start by clearing any obstructions in the intake hose. Check for air leaks on the intake line by tightening hose nuts and inspecting hoses for damage, also check the pool water level. Clean the pre-filtering basket more often, and backwash the filter. 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 necessary and also remove any pool vacuuming device attached to the system line.

If your Intex Swimming Pool Pump filter isn’t cleaning the pool, adjust the chlorine and pH levels. Load the tank with filter sand according to the sand loading instructions. Ensure the 6-way valve is set to the “FILTER” position. If the pool is excessively dirty, operate the filter for longer periods. Also, clean the strainer screen at the inlet to ensure it's not restricting water flow.
