How much sand for this Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater System Pump?
1545833
This pump requires salt. The amount of salt used corresponds to your pool size. Sand would be used with a sand filter pump.

This is not a pump at all. It is a system that converts your salt water into chlorine and the pump must be bought separately.

We have a 10 foot pool Walter. If you Google Intex, you can find out. I believe it says 1,018 Gal @ 80% capacity

I just asked my marine plumbing guy - he said 'in a pinch' but don't expect years out of it. You should always buy a 'raw water' pump or pump specified for 'Salt' if you want it to last.

yes- but if you are buying with the intex salt water system dont wasti your money- it only lasted two weeks past the two year warranty. the sand pump still works and we have gone back to salt. We even took it inside in the winter so it was really only used for six months.

I can check for you later. I assume you mean the diameter of the pump? It is a submersible pump. JHW

For my 18' x 52" I put 180bs of salt. ... the filter takes 125lbs of silica sand (pool filter sand)

you just need to match the flow of the pump to a filter system in gallon per hour. I use the c225 filter on the return line of the pool to stop the fine sand form getting in the pool. this will stop a lot of pool cleaning.

Yes, your pump/cartridge filter will work with it. When you say plug in are you talking about ion unit? This thing works good with our saltwater. And sand filter system. You could get a sand filter for a good price right now. 18' round how many gallons? We had has to use filterpump bypass when ionizer went out. We had to replace pump 16x32 15,000 gallons. Sand pump 2450 gallons per hour. 218.00 sand last up to 5 year without changing it. Filters ok but saltwater/sand filter best.

It takes 350lbs of filter sand. It's a very uniform sized sand made for the filter. I bought my sand at a pool supply wear house, however, they do sell it at walmart.

Cathy, perhaps you read the description incorrectly. 25lbs of ZeoSand is the equivalent of 50lbs of regular sand. You only need half as much. Also, when you put it in, before you turn it on filter, be SURE to backflush until the water is CRYSTAL clear.

Hello, According to Intex website the Water Capacity at (90%) is 6,423 Gal, seems about right. I calculated the salt for the water based on 7,000 Gal and it stays fresh all summer, I also ran the pump for 4 hours daily, plus vacuumed 3 times a week, and shock the water every 2 months.

Mario: there are a few things to consider - as there are three Triton II, Model TR-40, TR-50, and TR-60. I purchased a TR-60 that requires (according to Pentair specs), 50 lbs of pea gravel, and 275 lbs of .020 mic of sand. When installing my unit, I called the company, (tech. services). and they said that most people just install the sand and forget about the gravel, that I also did with my old Triton. The total used was 300 lbs., and the distance from the top of the sand and the inside top of the filter should be 10 1/2 inches, that turns out to be a perfect gauge of the height of the 300 lbs of sand. Each Triton model uses a different amount of sand/gravel. Mario: there are a few things to consider - as there are three Triton II, Model TR-40, TR-50, and TR-60.

I used 150lbs of sand to reach the middle of the low/high markings on the inner tube (not 100lbs like the directions state). I have a 12x20 Intex Oval pool and used 120 lbs of salt. Pool has been up for 3 weeks and I have not had to add anymore salt yet, but the instructions recommend an additional 30lbs when the system reads low salt. Hope this helps.

Your level are found in the manual and it depends on the size of pool you have. To be honest I have around a 5500 gallon pool and added I think around 120 pounds and this will last along time just as long as you are not draining water out of the pool. If I were you and your pump is reading low salt I would add a bag and see what you got after a few hours. I always use the salt specified for pools because it is finer crystals and take no time to dissolve

Mine came with the saltwater system with a pump and cartridge filter all in one unit. I don't want to use the cartridge filters as you have change them out quite often (at about $6 or $7 apiece) so I've opted to get the sand filter instead. 125 pounds of sand and you're good for five or six years. But since I couldn't figure out how to use my existing saltwater system with that filter since they both have pumps and I don't want them fighting one another I opted to get the sand filter with the saltwater system. It's about $300 but you'll get that money back in the end by not having to change cartridges all the time. Mine came with the saltwater system with a pump and cartridge filter all in one unit.
