My Pool: 12x33 summer waves with sfx600 stock filter - help!

600 gph filter upgrade

Postby NYrangers34 » Wed 30 Jun, 2021 09:06

Hi all,

I have a 12x33" summer waves pool with the stock 600 or 650 gph filter that does nothing. I do not want sand. I have decide on either the 1000gph or 1500gph cartridge from summer waves.

Issue is that the 1500 is a 1.5" hose and the 1000 is a 1.25" hose; My stock connections are curerntly 1.25" so it's an even swap after removing the pump from the stock housing.

Anyone have suggestions/ideas for upsizing reducers (i know it's a contradiction) to fit 1.5 inch hoses to 1.25 inch outlet/inlets?

I want to go big but cant figure out the adapter logistics! Thank you!!!!

Some of the hose connections on above ground pools are propriety to the make
Give Summer Waves a ring and see what they suggest seeing as you want to upgrade with their product

Thanks. I called them and the only advice they could give me is that any warranty would be void if I was switching out the stock filtration system for another system that they offer. They are absolutely no help.

That's really disgraceful put a bad review on Trustpilot
I find that somebody from customer services keeps an eye on their reviews and may be more helpful
Most piping can be modified but its the connections on your flexible hoses that may be different
