Intex 28001E Above Ground Pool Automatic Pool Cleaner Pressure Side Vacuum Cleaner with 24 Foot 7 Inch Hose for Intex Pools Only w/ a 1.5 Inch Fitting

The Intex 28001E is a highly efficient floor cleaner designed specifically for Intex above-ground pools. Its pressure-side operation utilizes your existing pump's power to drive a small scrubbing brush and a water jet that forces sand, leaves, and silt into an internal debris net. It is completely automatic, featuring a mechanical valve that reverses direction to ensure full coverage of the pool floor without manual intervention.

The trade-off is its strict compatibility: it only works with Intex pools using 1.5-inch fittings and requires a filter pump with a flow rate between 1,600 and 3,500 GPH. Performance drops significantly if your pump is underpowered. Additionally, it is a floor-only vacuum, meaning you will still need to manually scrub the walls and waterline.

Despite these limitations, the 28001E is a budget-friendly powerhouse that saves hours of manual labor. Compared to the high cost of standalone robotic cleaners, this unit offers massive value for Intex owners who already have a capable pump. If you want a clean pool floor for a fraction of the cost of a robot, the 28001E is a smart, high-utility investment.
