AQUASTRONG In/Above Ground Pool Pump, High Flow (with Timer, 1.5HP, 8100 GPH, 220V)

Got this pump to replace my 1.5 hp Pentax. Pump works great very powerful and really circulates the water in my 27' above ground. Two things I will caution you about.... I do not realize exactly how powerful it would be. 1. It collapsed the regular vacuum hose I use with my manual pool vac brush head (the kind you attach to the brush head and vacuum yourself) It needs a professional heavy duty hose. 2. This model pump dies NOT have an on/off switch. Really surprised by that as it is the plug in model, not the hard wired one. I fixed that issue by ordering this switch on Amazon. I'll include a pic here. Plugs into the pump and then into your power with a switch in between. Works great. (If you end up needing this be sure to match your voltage with your pumps voltage, as they vary depending on the horsepower you're using) Otherwise this pump is amazing. It's quiet. Walking 20 feet away it can barely be heard. It fit my original plumbing setup easily, includes a couple adapters which was nice. Also includes a 2 year warranty. I scanned the included card with Q code, filled that form out the online and got a confirmation e-mail back immediately. So far I am really happy with this purchase. (Pic is as we were getting it in position, hadn't completely plumbed it yet)

I purchased the pump assy in March of 2024 for my 18' above ground pool. It is now May of 2025. I just now set it all up after putting it away for the winter season. It started up with no problems with leaks or performance problems. I used it from March of last year to October. I litterly had it running all the time without shutting it off except only when cleaning the pool and when we went on vacation for two weeks. I used the slow speed during the night and the fast speed during the daytime. Very impressed with the quality and the quietness of the pump and motor. I would definetly recommend this for an above ground pool. I had to double clamp the 1 1/2" flexible hoses because of the power of the pump. I did have to go to Home Depot to convert the pump fittings to fit my 1 1/2' hoses. It took a while, but it was worth the time. Just wanted to give a review after a season of swimming,

This pump was well worth the cost. We installed it and it immediately cleared up our pool. The pump is not too loud and so far is better than any pump we have owned. We are 3 weeks into having it.

I really liked this pump… I have only had it a year and the plastic over the power bottom cracked. It worked for a few weeks after that and now the pump has stopped working.I am highly disappointed… especially since spending this kind of money. Tried to reach out to customer service and no response.Come to update and give more starsThe company did refund my money with no problem.They would have sent me another pump but the were out of stock.Good seller!!

I didnt realize it didnt come with a plug. I have to get a plug and artach it to the wires. What a pain for a person who isnt the most electrical nor mechanical person. I connected it to my previous pumps plug after severing it from the old pump. Once i spluced it together and turned it on ot worked for 10m than it got extremely hot and shut off.I disconnected the old plug and will rewired it once i bought a new plug to attach to the pump electrical lines. Very annoying to have to do all this it should have a plug like every other pump ive bought! After all of that and redoing all the plumbing, it would run for a few minutes and shut off. Very low pump pressure too. I just returned it and shopping for another one. Everyones reviews are my best way to not do this again... so heres mine.

I have been using this pump for 3 months and it works great. It handles the Houston thunder storms with no problems. It was easy to install as a replacement and I like that it runs on 120 VAC rather than 240 VAC from the previous pump.

So far the pump is working better than the old one, although the other one was also the same brand which lasted almost a year and I did not have any problems with getting it covered under their warranty, in fact it did not take about a week for me to get a refund. Was real satisfied with customer service.

I have owned a 22k gallon pool for 29 years and have gone thru 4 pool pumps. My pool chemicals are closest to perfect as I can keep them. This pool pump has been running for two weeks strait and it is the quietest pump I have owned to date. Pressure and water flow is outstanding. It’s only been two weeks but if it keeps up this was a great purchase.
