We have a 18 x 48 Intex pool. If we purchase a salt water system do we need to purchase a filter pump? IS this big enough?

This is system is an all in one. It has the filter pump attached to the saltwater system. Yes this pump will be big enough for ur pool. Ours Is a 20x4ft and it works perfectly on ours

Nicole, I also have an 18x48 aluminum frame pool. I purchased this set up 2 years ago; it's perfect! No other filters are needed. This thing works like a dream. Once you get the salt balance right (easy add 3 40lb bags) you won't have to do anything else but vacuum all season!

No, it will not. I've had two INTEX Pools and think they are the best thing since sliced bread. I know have a above ground 5 ft deep, 24' round. It [fountain] is designed to screw right into a inch and 1/2 exit tube which is the tube, pipe, opening or whatever it is that you have with your Filter set-up. Two "ends" of your filtration system are nearest the water.. The intake (usually the skimmer BOX/Pail... Leaving other end which re-introduces the "filtered" water BACK INTO the pool. This is the end you would screw the "Fountain" set-Up onto. Word from the Wise: I'd be extremely disappointed had I paid full price for this because, although it "works" per say; the connection is not a true 1.5 inch! It's loose, wobbles, and can easily break off. I don't remember what I paid, but I chose to go with USED, and although it WAS AS DESCRIBED by the previous owner, I suspect he/she probably shared my feelings; hence they SOLD IT as opposed to keeping it. Now.. That coupled with my "review" should help you make a decision. Keep in mind, before I started to ramble..this probably WONT fit the INTEX setup anyway.

Our pool wasn't that big. You might ck manufacturing suggested size pump. I can tell u that Hayward pumps r quiet & powerful. Ours works very well with our 15X22 pool. I recommend a salt water chlorinated system as well.

Yes, comes with the bigger diameter hoses and adapters, since it can be used with non Intex pools and some smaller Intex pools the hoses and adapters are provided to maintain the proper water flow, some bigger Intex pools will have the same hoses and adapters so you will have spare ones in that case, I use this item and the saltwater filter pump and it saves a lot of time, work, and expences on chemicals and such. I highly recommend this product. I had made comments prior to this one referencing the pressure of the actual pump that came with the set I had purchase which came with the pump and the chlorinator.

I have an 18ft round pool and upgraded the pump to the intex 1600 Gph and filter and salt system and it keeps my pool crystal clear. I was going to buy the bigger pump and I am glad I decided on this one.

It will according to the Intex paperwork that came with it. I have it on an 18' X 4' Round and it is almost too much pump for my pool. Compared to the paper filter that came with the pool this is a huge step up and no regrets. I was cleaning paper filters every day now I clean the sand filter once a month.

I bought the sand filter and saltwater system together. You have to purchase your sand and salt seperately from a pool supply store. It comes with books for each component and a cover for the pool. Watch the DVD to get the general idea and search the books for specific answers. My pool was 18x52, but your filter will still need about 55lbs of sand since it should be about half full. The 48 pool will require about 200 lbs of salt. Buy some extra because you need to add more about once a week.

yes the salt water pump should be in the kit. if it comes with the paper filter I highly recommend getting the bigger pump with the sand filter.

Yes, we just bought this pool and contracted it to an intex sand filter and saltwater system. We had the sand and salt water system last year and it worked great. We didn't have to use any other chemicals and it stayed clear and clean. Great setup.

18 X 48 pools normally come with a 1500 GPH pump. For the small difference in price, I would upgrade to the 2500 GPH model. I went through several pumps that were the size that came with my pool. I went to the next size up, & besides doing a better job of filtering, I haven't had any failures of the pump motor. I would also recommend the intex filters over those from Walmart. There's quite a difference in the amount of paper folds & they will do a better job on the small silt, etc. Be sure to get the right size. (Available from Amazon of course) Ron

Yes you can use that size pump on your pool as long as the filter you have is a 150sq ft cartridge filter or a 22" sand filter. the pump must also be sized properly for the filter you have.

Pump is for all Intex pools with 1-1/2 inch filter hoses with threaded hose connections. Includes all hoses and clamps needed to install to your pool, 1 pre-installed Type A filter cartridge. Easy installation - just hook-up hoses, plug it in and go!

Skimmers come with pump (black housing on bottom). When pump burns out (mine lasted 2 years) you can add a pump downline and still use the skimmer. I am doing this now. I have a 18' x48" salt pool and found that anything less than 2500 gph is too small.

Yes it will work just great, I am using it on a 19ft x 9ft x 54in pool with a salt water filter, they are compatible. I checked with the manufacturer.

You can use the pump and filter that comes with the salt water system. Or, if you wish, you can add the sand filter to the salt water system; however, that requires some familiarity with simple plumbing to do properly. As for how much sand is necessary for leveling the pool..that is a difficult question to answer since I don't know the grade of your yard. You have to use a transit level across the diameter of the pool to determine the grade first...then, you can estimate the amount of sand needed. If your area is already level, then no sand is necessary. Be aware that leveling the area using sand is not recommended. You can use the pump and filter that comes with the salt water system.

i would say yes. You will need some adapters, eather from intex or from hardware store. As fare as the volume of filtration and chlorine generating system goes this will be big enough. As long as I understand your pool dimension are 18' x 48" deep, round pool. When you set it up it will depend on how many gallons your pool is. (6500- 8500) or so. The pump will run longer the bigger the pool. Yours maybe 4 hours or so. If you get it, take one of the hoses with you to the store I'm sure you can find something to work. Like I seid in another comment there is a lot of stuff on youtube of other people with Good ideas that work. Good luck. And enjoy i would say yes.
