Can you use these on a chlorinated pool?

Essentially this system creates free chlorine molecules so it is still chlorine, this difference is it's much easier to maintain because you only control the salt concentration. In addition, the chlorine content is similar to tap water so it's hard to tell if it is really chlorinated however, the water turns crystal clear and is much better to swim in compared to a conventionally chlorinated pool.

This is a chlorinator, it converts sodium chloride (salt) into chlorine. My 4500 gallon pool requires 120 lbs of salt at the beginning of the season and that's it!! The newer models tell you if its low or too much. I will never go back to chlorine, testing, shocking.......etcetera!!! I'll go without a pool first.

Probably... If you connect them inline (dirty water &gt; sand filter/pump &gt; cartridge filter/pump/chlorine generator &gt; pool) it should work fine. You could remove the paper filter from the cartridge filter/pump to reduce flow restriction, and add a paper filter only if you get a lot of fine particulate suspended matter that the sand filter is missing. Alternately, return the paper filter/generator and get the generator-only unit. My only problem with Intex chlorine generator in the past has been when the flow dropped below the minimum required by the generator -- usually caused by a weak pump or a clogged paper filter. Paper filters with a chlorine generator resolved half of the problem -- fluxuating chlorine levels -- but not the issue of clogging filters. I successfully ran the Intex 12" sand filter/pump with the stand-alone chlorine generator with great results, and no flow problems -- great solution for a 15'x42" round. (This, of course, did not include the additional pump on your chlorine generator...) My current solution is the 14" Intex pump/sand filter/generator.

It actually works a bit better on plastic. Should not affect your chlorinization.

They chlorine might not be good on the nylon straps- I'm not sure ! Other than that I can't see why not !

i usually use chlorine tabs in a floating dispenser. I don't know anything about salt water pools.

Yes, they have ranges given for optimum spa chemical levels as well as pool, and say they do bromine as well as chlorine, although I've never tried to use with bromine.

It is not recommended...we tried years ago and found the chlorine we bought dissolved much quicker. Our pool had algae for the first time during the season.

These tabs should work as a salt-water pool generates chlorine by breaking down sodium chloride into chlorine. You still need to measure PH, Alkalinity, etc. so I don't see why these would not do just fine.

sure, in the container. i use mine for pool towels, but chlorine is also a good idea

We have an inline chlorine dispenser.. We used to put them in the skimmer baskets but a pool repair person told us not to do that as it can damage the skimmers.

The directions on the container say "use with your chlorine"... That being said, I don't know if they are compatible/useful in a saltwater system.

Not without some significant McGyvering. I would recommend you keep using the filters until a part fails or you see the salt water system or sand filter pump on sale somewhere. In the mean time, as long as you clean the pool before putting it away for the winter, the salt water system is much better than harmful chemicals...

I would say absolutely not. Waaaaay too much chlorine and chemicals in the pool water.

Well, I would put some chlorine tablets in the floating device. The chlorine tablets would dissolve in a couple of days. When the pool wasn't in use I would leave the round plastic container in the water. Keeping the water clean and free from slime in such a small pool posed no problem at all.

Hi, this is Steve at aqua Products. Our units work well in salt water pools but like standard chlorine pools, it's best if you do not leave them in longer than necessary - a good fresh water rinse is always welcome too.

I do not see why not. If you used it in a regular pool you are dealing with chlorine. Just make sure you rinse the submarine after use. Have fun!

Can it be done, I would say Yes. Should it be done, I would say NO for several reasons. First and foremost it would become an electrical hazard. Chlorinated water will deteriorate plastic and rubber over time. This being an electrical appliance is NOT designed to be left in the pool. Read the directions associated with the product on the website. Seriously - NEVER leave an electrical appliance in a pool unattended for long periods of time - Its a BAD practice that is easily avoided. Also NEVER swim in a pool with an electrical appliance in it. The life you save could be your own or your child or other loved one. Can it be done, I would say Yes.
