will solar salt work ok with this system? what does the manufacture recommend?

They actually recommend Morton solar salt. If you have iron in your water make sure to get salt that has an iron reducer.

Sorry I haven't this knowledge. Sounds like you want a solar still, or some sort of camping gear.

My filter & pump system are Hayward, my salt chlorinating system is Goldline (a Hayward owned company) & the GLX-Flo-RP 15 I purchased through Amazon has worked great for 2 swimming seasons with no problems.

This is the second summer we use our saltwater system and have not encountered any problems. Make sure your calculating the amount of salt needed to the size of pool you have. We have a 12' round pool and add 1 1/2 bags of pool salt. We also clean the copper plates with vinegar every other month to avoid calcium build up.

The chlorine you add burns off anyways so there is no issue of using the generator. I startedmid season a couple years ago and love the thing. mmy only other suggestion is to make sure you get the salt level right at 3000 parts per million don't go higher than that or it will taste salty. make sure you know how many gallons are in the pool and then go to a pool supply place and have them do the calculations for how much salt you'll need

I have been using it. The air gets blown up from underneath so nothing to really gunk up with the salt. I found it actually works great with it.

That will work just fine. Just make sure your solar controller is rated for at least 10 amps and preferably 15 amps just to be safe.

Zodiac should speak to materials compatibility, but I have had no problems, and I have a saltwater pool. It is the quiet version of PB4-60 which was originally installed with my pool. It is very quiet. I have not seen any corrosion or deterioration externally.

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.

Hey Edwars O. Not sure. What type/sort of system are you putting together? 6V 12V? What are you needing to run, and for how long? What are your energy needs? I can't answer your question my friend without more info. I personally use the 400 watt system with another 100 watt panel. I match my batt bank so every 100 watt of solar for 100Ah of storage. Yes, it is over kill for just myself! I'm still in the learning processes if you will. The panels that come with this kit have zero issues with charging the batteries on cloudy days. I'm very happy with this basic system so far!!

No, put if you have plastic a cup and did a hole on near the beach you can build a solar still. Take and dig a hole cover it with plastic, place a weight over the collector and wait, several can keep one or two people a live with safe water. Use a rock or stick to put the low point over the collector It takes a few hours to a day to get a quart or two and you will need a gallon to 2 gallons a day person.

Hello Liz, Absolutely, We have used it for a full season without ANY issues. Once we charged the pool with the inital dose of salt and chemicals, we had NO problems all year. You can use the timer to cut down on your energy useage as claimed. The water remains Crystal Clear as promised. What a time saver and a quality improvement versus the cartidges, which are next to useless.

Yes it will. The salt water system has paid foe itself twice over. No more chemicals except occassionally some baking soda. You will love it.

I think it is not recommended, but I've used salt in mine several times with no problems.

That is exactly what I did, and it works just fine. I spoke with an employee at the pool store and he said there should be some chlorine in the pool. The system will maintain levels. So far I have been quite happy with system. Make sure you buy a water conditioner, so calcium doesn't build up so fast on the salt cell.

I think you would be fine using this product with salt water pools that use the salt for chlorine generation. The product is mostly baking soda with water clarifier added in. The product does 3 things: increases pH, increases Alkalinity and adds clarifier to your pool water. I use this product with my outdoor pool which holds about 28,000 gallon and have been very happy with it. I add about 1 tablet of this per 4 tablets of 3 inch chlorine tablets that I put into my chlorinator. If you monitor your pool chemistry you could also periodically just add a tablet(s) when your pH and Alkalinity levels get low in your pool. You could also buy Arm & Hammer baking soda for Alkalinity adjustment with a separate pool water clarifier product and use them as directed to achieve the same end result.
