What to do if the filter in my Intex SX 2800 isn't cleaning properly?
- R
  Robert MunozSep 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.

  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 SX 2800 Swimming Pool 6-way valve/cover leaking?
- N
  Nathan HicksAug 25, 2025
  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 SX 2800 Swimming Pool filter motor fails to start?
- A
  Angelica JamesAug 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 is sand flowing back into my Intex SX 2800?
- L
  lisa97Aug 30, 2025
  If sand is flowing back into the pool, it could be due to the sand being too small. Use only No. 20 silica sand with a particle size range of 0.45 to 0.85 mm (0.018 to 0.033 inches) and a Uniformity Coefficient less than 1.75. Alternatively, the sand bed may be calcified, in which case you should change the sand.

  If you observe a small leak from the air jet valve when the pump is on in your Intex Swimming Pool, remove all accessories (such as solar mat, auto pool cleaner, LED light) from the water circulation line and place the air jet valve cap (44) over the air jet valve (41). Do not cover the air jet valve (41) with the valve cap (44) under normal situations or when the pump is operating.
