It ships with two 1.5-inch connector hoses and requires minimal upkeep because the sand media can remain effective for years with routine backwashing. Built to deliver a rated capacity of 2,100 gallons per hour (gph) and an in-pool flow of roughly 1,600 gph, the unit balances performance and ease of use for seasonal pool owners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this pump keep pool water clear and clean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pump forces pool water through a bed of sand that traps debris and particulates while the six-function valve lets you choose the right cycle for maintenance.
