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.

You must get the salt at your local pool shop. They can tell you how much salt for the size of your pool. They will calculate it.

I used bags of salt from Walmart. It was Morton pool salt in the garden section. It was on sale at 3.99 a bag, about $2.oo off the regular price at the time. The amount of salt depends on the amount of water in your pool. There are charts to help you with salt amounts in the instruction manual. Also you can test and check with test strips to see if your system is working right or you need ajustments.

Depends on pool size. Mine was 18x9x52 rectangle pool and it took 115lbs of POOL SALT. Each bag is 40lbs and cost $6-7 a bag at your local Home Depot, wal-mart, lowes. I have had this set up for over a year now and have only added two bags of salt after the initial set up. The instructions have a chart so you know what to add to your size pool. Hope this helps, you will be very happy with a salt water system.

Ours is regular water. We've never done a salt water pool filter before. If I recall correctly, the instructions indicated you could convert to salt. See if you can find a "how to" video on YouTube. I found helpful hints there when setting up the vacuum.

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

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

If your salt is 3300, it may be too high. It depends on what your consider to be normal limits. We keep our pool level around 2900 during the Summer. We run it continuously due to the heat. We are above 90 degrees from April through October. Since your unit is 8 years old, you should replace the whole unit. Upgrade the whole unit.

If you just run the pump believe you can, look at the owners manual -should be on line. If you run the whole system - a low salt warning will appear on the control panel,

Google: Easy Set Pool Salt table. It will give you the link to the salt table. Depending on your style of pool it will give you the correct amount needed.

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

It takes about 40 lbs of sand and the amount of salt depends on the size pool you have. Mine took 160 lbs initially. The manual explains specifically for all size pools. This is an awesome upgrade from the origional pump that came with the pool. The saltwater system is very nice, no more chlorine!

Out of town so don't have with us. We're thinking 2x3 inches. Only problem is if you use for salt the holes are larger and there's a lot of them you will really get too much salt.

I'm a new pool owner and not familiar with salt systems to say whether this will work or not.

You can use the pump and filter that comes with the salt water system. Or, if you wish, you can add the sand filter to the salt water system; however, that requires some familiarity with simple plumbing to do properly. As for how much sand is necessary for leveling the pool..that is a difficult question to answer since I don't know the grade of your yard. You have to use a transit level across the diameter of the pool to determine the grade first...then, you can estimate the amount of sand needed. If your area is already level, then no sand is necessary. Be aware that leveling the area using sand is not recommended. You can use the pump and filter that comes with the salt water system.

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!!!

You get a pump, ladder and floor blanket for under the pool. It's more like a tarp so I bought another tarp to have a little more cushioning. I also bought the Clearwater salt generator. My pool is 15' round 48" deep. (4 feet). The salt water is awesome. After swimming in salt water your body and skin feels so good and all the money you save on chemicals. The salt here in N.Y. Is very cheap. 45 lbs for $15.00. I need 110 pounds of salt and that's it for the summer. You'll love it...
