I have an Intex Metal Frame Pool 12' X 30"- with the original manufacturer's pump. Will I need to get a bigger pump if I buy this Saltwater System?

read the requirement on the saltwater system you want to buy and it will recommend the pump size required for that system. my pool is a 16'x48' and it had a min. pump size of 1100 gal per hour

Lyndie - I am not sure what size pump comes with that pool but I have larger Intex pool and I needed to buy a more powerful filter. I bought a sand filter from Amazon. I believe you can buy the saltwater system and the filter together. I didn't because I had already bought the salt water system from Walmart.

No the pump that came with your pool is fine. I love my salt water pump. I just have to change the filter out every few days.

I LOVE mine for my Intex. It's way more than you need which means the pool is effortlessly sparkling. Super easy to set up and maintain. I hardly use and chemicals.

Absolutely NOT. You do need to specify to the manufacturer that u have am Intex pool. He will supply with the necessary parts. You will need to remove the plastic return screen. Worth your time and money ��

You can do saltwater in this pool but it requires a special pump that has to be ordered seperately. The pump that comes with with pool is only for clorinated water and will not work with salt water. You can contact Intex.com directly to order a salt water pump but they are not cheap! These pools get leaks and after a couple of years the liners have to be replaced and they cost about $200 and you can't get the liner from any other pool supplier but Intex. They have made sure of that so they control the pricing. So if the liner lasted longer I would invest in a saltwater pump however....I am not sure it is worth it to do. You will have a lower maintenance pool and much cleaner healthier water. You can do saltwater in this pool but it requires a special pump that has to be ordered seperately.

The fittings for the Intex pump are unique to Intex. Everything comes with the pump to install it easily with an Intex pool, but if you are attempting to attach it to another brand pool - it will probably need some cleaver couplings.

I am not sure. What I did was to look at the size of the pool that I had and bought a pump that was sized a little bit bigger. Sorry, wish I could help you more.

Can I install this on a pool other than Intex. I have a basic 15' round pool

Yes this pump is actually a bit bigger than the stock that come with the pool. I have this same system onine and it does a pretty good job

My newer Intex pump is working better than the one that came with my 18x48 hardsided pool.As long as the fittings will match up, it is definitely worth a try..

It works for the Intex 12'x30", I assume they are similar. No, just ~42 Lb salt and type A filters.

The pump that comes with it is not very strong, we use an Intex 2500 gph pump and it works great with the saltwater system.

Should be fine but you must have the sand filter pump, mine is intex ultra 18x48 round with intex sand filter pump work fine. The pump came with the pool no power. Have fun!!

Yes it will work. I think you are wrongg on the number of gallons the pool holds. A 24x4-1/2 pool holds about 12,000 gallons of water according to Intex not 18,000 You will have to run it 5 hours a day every day and your pool should be crystal clear all the time. You will need 290 lbs. of pool salt for start up and you should never have to add salt after that as salt doesn't evaporate---water does. I have an 18x4-1/2 pool and mine runs for 3 hrs. every day all year long as I live-in Florida. Hope this helps. This is our second salt water system and we love it.

I don't know, but unlike other intex pools I've had, it is more than enough pump for a pool this size. Caution: it does not like power surges. I will say intex was VERY quick to replace the fried one. Pool did not have time to turn (very) green.

I am actually running it on a 12' inflatable Intex pool right now. It did not require any special adapters or anything, you just connect it in place of the old pump and filter and you're good to go.

if you have the larger fittings on the plunger valves you can, the hoses with the new pump hook right up. if you have a smaller intex pool, you have to order the adaptors to screw onto the plunger valves, or you can drain the pool below the inlet and outlet valves and replace them. if you have a 20' or 24' intex pool they should hook right up. this pump is amazing, ive had it about a month and a half now, no problems.
