New filter and pump review

[ImMikeJones]

Hopefully this is allowed! The pentair single speed pump on our pool finally died this spring as I was trying to get the pool ready. I’ve been intrigued by the variable speed pumps and filter cartridges for a while now so when the pump died I thought what better time to upgrade! I decided to ditch the sand filter as well since they waste a lot of water to clean, take up a lot of space and I just don’t like them.

My wife was not very interested in spending the big bucks for the name brand filter and pump so I looked around and found this pump by Lingxaio.

It met my needs for price ($450 when I bought it on sale) and dual voltage since I don’t have 220v to my pool.

At the time it had zero reviews but their spa pumps had a ton of positive reviews so I thought why not? They must know how to make pumps so i gave it a shot. Apparently a few others did as well since a few reviews came in and had good things to say about it.

I must say I’m very impressed! I don’t have anything to compare it to other than the old single speed but it’s very quiet, seems to be very powerful and I LOVE the variable speed! It’s so nice to be able to have it run slower most of the time and then kick into high gear when needed!

I hard lined it to the filter and it runs great! For what it’s worth they extended the warranty to three years for leaving a 5 star review but I left my review before they contacted me. Who knows if their warranty is worth anything but it’s there.

On the filter side I went with a Vevor 150sf cartridge filter. I don’t see the one I got on Amazon anymore but it’s also really nice. 150sf might be smaller than optimal but it fit my budget and is working great as well.

this setup has been running for the past month and it’s working really well. Very pleased.

I’m not associated with either company. I’m just a pool owner on a budget and thought I would share my experience!

Wellllll, good luck with it. What strainer basket o-ring can you get for it? What strainer basket can you get for it? What cartridge can you buy to replace theirs with when the time comes? So many questions but only time will tell. It's an interesting design though the pump looks like it's three pieces put together. And I would also say that if you really have a 10000 g pool the filter is undersized for that. I run a 4 cartridge filter for my 11000 g pool.

I’m not sure about the o-ring or basket. I guess I’ll deal with that when the time comes. But the pentair it replaced was on year 5 or 6 and the basket and o-ring were original (and still fine) as far as i can tell.

I guess I’ll deal with that when the time comes? If this pump lasts 5 years I’ll be happy! I will say I had a question about the function of the pump and I emailed their support and two different people replied within the hour so I was pretty pleased with that!

As far as the filter being undersized I guess I’ll see how it holds up. So far it’s doing okay. I’m gonna pull the cartridge next week when I’m back from vacation and see how it’s doing. The pressure seems to still be close to where it was when I installed it. I’m not sure where to get the replacement filters yet but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.
