Does this model (28363EG) come with a saltwater system or do I need to buy that separately?

I would DOUBLE, TRIPLE check this..... when I review the product spec's it says nothing about saltwater system with pump. If I did not already own one of these pools I'd be so confused. Basically if you want a salt water pool you either need to purchase a pool that INCLUDES an 2in1 pump with saltwater system OR-you purchase a pool that comes with a standard issue pump and then additional & separate purchase of a saltwater system and connect it with your pool pump. We started off using a standard pump and buying pool chemicals (chlorine tablets/shock) then decided to try out saltwater and LOVED IT, less hassle less cost!!!! Only down side is that 5 years down the road the metal supports started to rust.

Yes, it comes with what you need, but my advice is not to buy one. Buy the Polaris instead. All the Pentair did was get caught in corners, steps or tangle itself up in its own hose. It got to a point where I only ran it on the weekends so that I could watch out for its problems. Have a Polaris now and all of my lost money is behind me. Hopefully, you'll not make my same mistake. I think that the only reason the Pentair has four wheels is that there is a patent by a company called Polaris for a pool sweep with three.

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.

You need to buy the salt, about 150 pounds, and the sand as well. The system works great!!

Mine did not come with the saltwater system included in description which was my main complaint. Also did not come with a skimmer or vacuum. I had to purchase all of the above for a extra of about $300. Was very disappointed. I tryed a couple of times to have it fixed, but was not resolved. It was my first bad experience with amazon.

It came with a filter system, but I purchase a straight sand filter that was 1.5 horse power to keep it clean. I have hard water, but the sand filter works great for me. Otherwise the pool has been great so far.

Not sure about salt water system, but I do not think so. If chlorine gen is used, it must be placed after the heater. Don't know the water flow rate, but it works well even if the filter needs backwashing. I truly like this heater, much better than my previous heater without thermostat control. Very fast to reach desired temp, too.

by the picture it does incluce the pump, you MUST read the whole description to make sure (send your questions to the seller - they will answer or give you the better options), when i bought mine it came with the pump, sand filter & salt water system.you will want to get a better ladder & a Hayward Above-Ground Automatic Pool Cleaner & leaf catcher. also.

I honestly don't know the answer to that question, Intex will be the best people to ask. But I will tell you this, I wouldn't recommend using the saltwater system with an Intex pool. It will rust thru the frame within a couple years. I had an Ultra Metal Frame by Intex and used the saltwater systems, the pool lasted me 4 summers. I ended up buying a permanent above ground pool that's meant for saltwater systems.

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.

We bought this pool 4 weeks ago, and it came with a pump, saltwater system, and a sand filter. So far, the system has been working flawlessly. It also came with the manual vacuum that worked ok, but we replaced it with automatic one.

Yes, it has the filter and the base mounting hardware. All that is needed is the water line in and a water line out. It is a very good filter. I've been using them for 6 years as an external water filter to my frig. It makes the water taste pure.

Yes John, this includes the flow sensor. A very complete kit with great instructions; took a couple of hours for install and once running, it made a world of difference in pool water quality. Ran the last half of the summer by adding 4 more bags of salt... that's it! Water was clear and algae free right to closing in mid-Sept. Looking forward to my opening in 7 months!

everything you need comes with it. no extras, except of course replacement filters. I bought a unit that would be used in a bigger tank, and because of that, I only have to change the filter about every 3 months, whereas before I was cleaning it every week and changing it every month. I just have a turtle in the tank, so keep the water level fairly low so he has room to be out of the water, and the tank stays crystal clear. I could probably go even longer without changing the filter, but felt guilty that I wasn't having to clean the tank of murky water every week. But, the water stays nice and clear, and the turtle loves the fact he can sit on his deck and have water pour over him if he wants. (He's a very social turtle) I absolutely LOVE this new filter!!

I have a Howard pro series hooked up to mine. I could hook up a salt water system.

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.

Read the filter manual. Assuming you have the saltwater system you need 175#s of salt to start up. Also 55#s of sand for the filter. And 1.7#s of Cyanuric acid.
