how much sand, and how much salt does this system take?

It uses 55# of sand in the filter and the salt is determined by the number of gallons of water your pool holds.

Sand use 50 LBS as far as salt it depends on the gallon size of your pool...it needs to be at 3000 ppm. Hope that helps

I used 6 1/5 pounds of pool salt in my 425 gallon spa, so yours should take about 5 pounds. You can find the user manual here : http://www.spadepot.com/docs/Saltron-Mini-Manual.pdf

It calls for 55 pounds of sand, but we put a 50 pound bag of pool filter sand in and it works just fine. There is a fill line inside of the pump and 50 pounds of sand went above the minimum fill line. I found a bag of pool filter sand was at the local hardware store for $10.

Ordinary sea salt or even table salt is fine. If you prefer you can also mix baking soda with the salt anywhere from 1:3 to 1:1, baking soda:salt.

Intex has the manual on their website. Free to download. It will give you the salt amounts based on the size of your pool

No, all I added was approximately 85 lbs. of salt. You will of course need the chlorine generator. You won't be disappointed with the set up, this pool is fantastic. I have not had any maintenance issues with any component with the pool set and generator. I also have a 15' x 48" easy set, ENJOY!!!

It really depends on what you want to accomplish. It's basically "clean" salt. For the machine you will need to use many packages.

You use pool salt that can be picked up at walmart. Depending on the size of your pool tells you how much salt. There is a time table that comes with the pool. My is a 16' round pool and it takes 2 1/2 bags to start up.

Just salt. The filter and hoses are included. I love this system. Add 2 bags of salt and then add gradually. I put in 3 bags for the same size pool and the salt was high. The only way to fix that is to drain 20% of the water and refill. Did that and now it is working beautifully. So easy!!!!!

Not Sure. We had sand from a sandbox we put in it. Maybe one hundred pounds or more. Our sand was wet from being outside.

Thank you. I thought I read you use 20% less of this then sand. Our pool is 23,000 gallons, so I thought we would need 5 bags.

when i got this sand i did the same thing the only difference is that i started with salt water if you have your filter in just change them and get your salt in it will clear up it just takes long you just need to be patient lol

I used water. It was easier than sand. I had to transport it a couple of times. Really easy to empty. Just change the water every so often so it does not mold.

I have a 2150 GPH pump and it works great!...also..the user manual that comes with the saltwater system tells you how much salt to add based on the size of your pool. It shows specific amounts for Intex brand pools, as well as, if you are trying to use it on an non Intex pool. I highly recommend this system, as it keeps the water sparkly clean. I have a small pool and only had to add about 150 lbs of salt..and the salt is about $5 for 40 lbs at my local store. The salt system has a timer that will "chlorinate" your water for a up to 12 hours a day. you can set the time to run for 1 hour..all the way up to 12 hours. My small pool...i have the main filter pump running for 6 hours, and the salt system running for 2...and I have had zero problems with water quality..all I have done is add salt at start up. Word of warning: err to the low side when adding salt...as you can always add a lil more to get the concentration right...if you add to much salt, you may have to partial drain the pool and re-add fresh water to dilute the concentration if its too high. better to have low salt than too much salt. the salt will not evaporate..but the water will in the hot summer months...thus increasing the concentraion slightly. adding a little water from the hose will get the concentration back correct, due to the evaporated water from the sun...but only if you start out with the correct amount and don't totally over salt it. mine called for 160lbs...i added 140, for example...then added a few cups of salt to bring it up a little. the saltwater system has alarms to warn you of : low water flow, high salt, and low salt. You will like it! thumbs up from me :)

It averages about 1 foot. Since each piece of salt is different, so it will vary some. The base is about 1 inch.

The sand is not provided. You can either add sand OR water. I added water to mine, and it works great.
