Mine is not a salt water pool. It is fresh water. I use chlorine on a regular basis. I went to my local Leslies pool supply when I filled it the first time. They test your water for free as often as you need. They told me what chemicals to add at the beginning and use chlorine since then. I love, love, love my pool.

I use Bromine in a floater because I don't like Chlorine or salt. Yes, you can use a salt watersystem. Remember to drain and clean pool and system completely if you change from onesystem to another.

i usually use chlorine tabs in a floating dispenser. I don't know anything about salt water pools.

This is the second summer we use our saltwater system and have not encountered any problems. Make sure your calculating the amount of salt needed to the size of pool you have. We have a 12' round pool and add 1 1/2 bags of pool salt. We also clean the copper plates with vinegar every other month to avoid calcium build up.

A friend in MY who has an Intel salt water pool uses the solar cover. We have chlorine and use it and it really heats the pool so nicely and helps to minimize leaves and blowing dust from getting in the pool. I would recommend that you call a pool supply store to ask if the solar cover can be used with the salt water pool you have.

You will need to drain chlorinated water. Then fill up with water, add proper amount of salt. Once that's done the saltron will create chlorine from salt in the water.

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.

i would start with about 6 bags i think mine has too much salt . my pool has a 7800 gallon capacity. i spread the salt around and then used my pool brush to help the salt dissolve. started my pump and have had no problems..

I own this Intext pool, and have an Intex salt water clorinator hooked up following the Intex filter that came with the pool. We put salt in the pool upon opening, and the clorinator creates the clorine as the water goes through it. You can do a search for Saltwater systems and find out everything you need to know. Good luck!

The pool comes with fresh water sand filter. Chlorine would have to added to keep clean of algae. No salt added to this filter.Or buy an extra saltwater filter that connects to freshwater system that comes with pool. We like that very much! No chlorine needed. Keeps water crystal clear. Saltwater filter converts salt to chlorine. Salt stays in pool. Saltwater filter took about a month to come from place ordered. We had to shock pool until filter got here.

The size of your pool should be fine. As far as the saltwater goes, I'm not sure since my pool is freshwater. I would check the manufacture specs. or call the manufacturer directly.

Look here Brenda for some ideas http://www.intexcorp.com/index.php/home/above-ground-pools/easy-set-pools/18-549cm-easy-set-pools-w-ss/57928eg.htmlon the saltwater system you will need.

This pump requires salt. The amount of salt used corresponds to your pool size. Sand would be used with a sand filter pump.

Works great in chlorine pool, not sure about salt water, when actually working.

I imagine it would work in any pool. It's just checking for the chemicals present in the water. Shouldn't matter if it's salt water. You might email the manufacturer. I did a couple of years ago and they answered me right away.

I think you can just add the correct amount of salt to the water - check the PH and put in the Solaxx. At that poi t you will no longer need to add chlorine.

I have it hooked up to a 1 HP motor and have an Ionizer system to help reduce the need of chorine. Do not think there should be any problem using salt water as the tubing is plastic and will not oxidize. Have not filled the started the heater as yet, as I am stilling in the finishing stages. Am pumped about the system; will inform once it is operational and am swimming in upstream in warm water.

Yeah, thanks everyone. Really confusing reading online some people say nothing but salt, others say bleach, borax, stabilizer, shock. It's hard to know how to start it. Picking up my pool today and I have my three bags of salt and saltwater generator ready and waiting!
