Thanks for this. Mine was stuck after being stored for the winter. This method worked perfectly and now the pump is back online. I appreciate your effort.
Thanks !! My 5 yo pump now working ! And believe me trying to buy new pump now is basically impossible where I live unless u a millionaire ! Now I can back off chemicals and clean pool. Have new pump on backorder !! , as current one pretty old 2014 I think , but hoping now can get a bit more life out of it !
Well drat, my success short-lived, but got 39 minutes of filtration, new pump in 4 days should be arriving. But learned something new about pool pumps so thanks !
My Intex salt/sand water pump was making humming sound and water was not filtering. I thought my pump broke. Thanks to this video, I was able to get my pump working again. I put in the screwdriver in the middle hole and it started making the working sound. I then put everything back together just like in the video, did the backwash, and it worked great!!! Thanks Mike for this video!
Finally!!! Have been trying to fix my pump for over a day. Watched dozens of videos. THIS WAS THE ONE that fixed it! Thanks dude!!!
Me too !
Thank you for making this videos simple and straightforward. Other people go off on rants irrelevant to the video and you didn't. Good job
I can not thank you enough for this video!!!! I watched a few with no help at all, then found yours and my problem is fixed. As simple as you showing where the o-ring went. thank you a ton!!!!
Saved me a lot of grief. Thanks! I ended up having to takeoff the impeller face plate and tightening it down but yay it was a little stuck and it started working thank you thank you thank you
thank you this helped me figure out how to take the front pot off to get to the impeller. i would have never guessed it would be done like that . this video saved my customers pool pump.
So simple. Thanks for posting. 2 minute fix. Yours was the first video I clicked on. I am stoked!
I had to unscrew all the screws and take the entire piece off to get into the fan but it worked like a charm. Thanks
Does your pump sound the same as his? Mine has always been quiet but just recently has gone to sound like this one.
I went to start the filter for the first time since I closed it last summer and it was frozen. Your fix WORKED GREAT. Thank you!
I tried that and start right up but once i turn it off it wont start unless i push fan again. Help
@@noraneese3453 Maybe lube the joint with lithium spray grease.
This was such a help to us! Our pump would not turn on. We thought from reviews on Amazon that we were going to have to buy a whole new Intex Crystal Clear Sand Pump. We can't believe this worked and it was so easy!!! Thank you Mike for saving us time and $150 to buy a new pump. We are so thankful to have found you and are going to subscribe!
Wow! That's awesome! So glad it worked for you and your pool will be look good in no time! 👍 God Bless!
You should also check out my other 2 intex pool videos!
Did your pump hum at least or just nothing at all before trying this fix?
Wow. I just watched this video - and I saved $170.00. Took me minutes. Took most time screwing the housing back on. Thank you so much.
Glad i could help! Easy fix, saves time and 💰 😁
Thank you very much. I had the same problem and your solution was right. Pump is back online!
You just saved me a couple hundred bucks!! Subscribed w/Notifications.
Thank You!
Thank you so much! These pumps have almost tripled in price, and you helped me fix my pump in minutes!
Thank you! This did it! Now I need to figure out why it will pump through on Rinse but not on Filter.
You probably need to clean your filter really good
Great. Thanks so much. Thought I was facing an expensive bill or a new pump!
Amazing It worked!!!! Thanks so much for doing these kind of videos, i was going crazy trying to figure out how to fix it and get my pool going after the winter.
I did go one step further and unscrew the next piece off because it still wouldn’t spin until i got closer to it.
I'm glad it worked for you! Happy swimming
Hey, thanks, I filled my 22' Intex pool today, and the pump just hummus and then stops. I'm sure it's stick, I'm going to try this tomorrow and see if this works for mine it's only one year old and I didn't run it this winter (FL so not much of winter) thanks for video big help.
Omg THANK YOU!!! All fixed.
mine is working again thanks to this vid, thanks!
You are the man! Thank you! Saved a $500 purchase!!!!
Has it always sounded that noisy? Mine has been fairly quiet until now . Now its making about the same noise as yours. I thought that a bezring was on the way out
Get a small tube like an eyedrop bottle or one similar to a mini bottle of tacky glue with narrow tip fill the bottle with some water and blue food dye. Put on a good pair of goggles and with your bottle of dark blue solution finger over the tip closed until you hit the bottom of the pool and squeeze out solution along pool floor..you can see where it is being sucked out ...it helped me find one. Good luck
Awesome! You just saved me $400!! Thank you!
thanks for watching hope that helps. sometimes on older pumps the bearing for the motor just wears out. let me know if it works.
Mike, new here - couldnt figure out how to make a comment or ask a question - on Troy Bilt Weed Eater $7 fix!
Confusing!! Adv how to ask there.
Thx!

How do you repair the bearing, and how do you get to it?
Thanks it worked . You saved me a bundle!
Thank you so much this also work for mines
Glad it worked for you!
Thanks so much!!! It worked on ours (model sf80110)
Thank you for this video and instruction!! You saved me a lot of time and headache. Took several tries to get it going but it worked!! 🙏🏼
So glad it worked for you!!
Does you motor sound like this one? Mine has always been quiet . Now its sounds like this one
@@paulnicholls8683 mine is not loud, you can hear it on, but it definitely does not sound like the one in the video.
@@heather601 Thank you Heather. Ours seems to have gotten louder all of a sudden. Im going to try sourcing a pump and motor. All ive found so far is a complete pump and sand filter over six hundred dollars in Canada
@@paulnicholls8683 from what I’ve read from others comments overall the intex equipment doesn’t seem last long, which is frustrating. I’m already on my 2nd saltwater system in 3 years and don’t think this one will last through the summer. My sand filter is still shooting sand out of the jet after replacing the lateral as well, which it started doing it the 2nd pool season we used it. I’m not surprised if the pump suddenly starts getting loud, and the last time I looked I could only find the set with a new sand filter for over $500.
You are the man!!! Thank you.
YES , YES !!!! video very helpful !!!!! thank you so much !!!!!! keep up the great work !!!!!!
Thank you
Me: the damn pumps is acting up
Wife: we can just buy a new one.
Me: No, I'm fixing this. 3 minutes later it's working. BIG THANKS!
Purespa SSP-H-10 filter pump read E90 message. No circulation Heater shuts off. Fix or replace???
Thanks, worked perfectly.
in winter i take my pump and put it inside the house in a closet till its warm next season i never leave it outside because the cold weather
sounds like a good idea!
Thanks man, fixed it in 3 minutes!
Awesome! Glad i could help! You should subscribe and check out my other intex videos!
I’ll try this today when I get off work
Thank you sir! Problem fixed! awesome!
Glad it worked for you !
Great video! You saved me lots!
Thank you! Solved my problem!
I have taken it off and put it back over and over its new Intex sand filter and I can't stop a leak where the debris basket hooks to the motor inlet, any suggestions?
Hello Justin, ive had that happen to me on occasions. This issue is the thin rubber seal that goes in the lid. Take it out and clean it, than clean inside the crack that it sits in and clean the top of the basket where it will rest against. Sometimes when you flip it over to screw it on the gasket moves. Take to your time to make sure the gasket is on correctly and doesn't move. You'll get it!
thanks dude. saved me!
you're awesome Mike. I owe you one.
dane woodruff glad I could help
Don Williams not sure what's going on? you should be getting suction on the intake of the pool and should be shooting water on the return back into the pool. If your my getting suction could be a couple things: air in the filter- must bleed it to get it out. 2- your water valve is shut off below the intake 3- something is clogging the intake
Omg i am tryimg this when i get home!!!!!!!! Water is three days old lol no pump
My pump was a little different. I took mine apart and just spun the wheel. And it WORKED!!!!! TY TY TY AGAIN
Thank you so so much !!!
My motor isn’t turning. The plastic gets hot do you think this hack will work? Motor is like 5-6 years old.
Sounds like your motor wants to turn but is frozen, hence the heat. Give it a shot! You can only win in this situation
This is a hard way to fix it.
The shortest one i just lift the input water tube and give it a shake ! the water inside the tube will move the rotating engine part and unblock the pump (until next time)
Thank you!!! That was it!
Glad it worked for you!
Honey you unplug that pump and remove the cover screws and the opposite side of where you stuck your screwdriver is the impeller rod screw..you need a Phillips head to remove all screws from pump cover then CAREFULLY CAREFULLY remove the cover because it's still wired to your motor and you can lift it off enough to see your impeller rod the fan blades center is a flathead screw fastening the blade plate to the motor..just give that screw a good turn with your flathead and should take the frozen to turning again replace your cover CAREFULLY and screws then turn her on and leave it running to work out that corrosion also TRY NOT TO RUN A POOL PUMP WITHOUT WATER that sucker gets hot enough it will blow your circuit short out its got a thermal trip and regardless if that sucker gets overheated because you're running it dry you could blow out your motor fo r good not to mention the trip to your house panel. This is really a no no. Good luck btw DONT EVER STICK YOUR HANDS OR TOOLS INSIDE A POOL PUMP WHILE ITS PLUGGED IN..THERE ARE HOT WIRES AND CAPACITORS AND ALL SORTS OF WIDOW MAKERS GOIN ON IN THAT TINY SPACE AND USUALLY PUMPS ARE SITTIN BETWEEN A TIGHT PLACE AND HOLDIN YOUR BREATH TO FIT AND CANT HARDLY SEE SO it really helps to remember electricity and water ain't the best of friends even on a Sunday in front of your mamma and the preacher..not worth it at all. Unplug it first.
My pump won’t hum or anything. Is this worth a shot? Pump is only 2 years old! 🤦🏻♂️
If it's not humming you may have tripped a circuit! You should definitely hear some type of noise when you turn the motor on! If it is getting power, it would hurt to try it before buying a new one!
Hi I heard you say u don't really use your pump, can you clean green algae. by shocking it still? The problem is our pump is shot.
hi Lisa. I don't use my pump in the winter. But definitely use it once we get ready for summer. You can shock it and it will probably kill some of the algae, however, the pump plays a vital role in removing the dead algae after you shock it. your pool will probably get really cloudy and the water probably won't get clean. you might want to invest in a new pump!
Good luck!
I hate to be the only one but didn't work for us. Took the entire thing off and you can spin the fan both ways and still just get a hum when it's cut on. We've only used it maybe 2 seasons so out of warranty!
Put it on backwash instead of rinse
holy shit, this actually worked@!
Glad I could help!
Michael Lee I was giving up on my pump, was ready to just go out and buy a new one haha.. vid came up, looked like a possible fix and boom.. amazed. Thanks bud.
Backwash before rinse
My pump is frozen, I followed your instructions and it will spin a couple of times and freeze again. Any suggestions?
the bearings eventually go out on them and they no longer work. if it's fairly new it's probably just stuck
It's new. I just can't seem to get it going.
Tried that and starts right up but once off it wont start just sit humming and I have to start the fan again.
Same here.
Your pump seems to be a bit noisy like mine is this year. Is this a bearing issue?
Terry D. usually when it starts getting loud your bearings are probably going out.
are the bearings able to be greased?
Terry D. not sure if you can access them. you can always try!
Terry D. let me know if it worked
Michael Lee, no it didn't work. buying a new unit. was going to install new bearings but as I was trying to spin off the impeller it broke.
Just saying that's a little dangerous and that not good for the pump to run dry
Joshua Tiberi you are only running it for a few seconds. If it's to dangerous for you, you probably just need to shell out for a new one
Ok sorry a quick second wouldn't be bad because I was also thinking about the big in ground pumps but any way how many gallons is that I may invest in one of those pumps and great vid 😄
I bb v
Thank you
