My pool came with Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater System 20110 and I bought that one. Should I use big sand thing or just replace it with this filter?

You need a filter system and sand is the way to go for that , much better than paper filter. I wouldn't think that this would make enough difference to justify the cost over you salt water generator now. I am converting from chlorine to salt water.

Personal preference, I can just attest to the quality of the water from this system. We enjoy the clean, clear water without the chemical smell and feel. Your skin just feels better after swimming in a salt water system. This is my second use of the exact same system, I liked it so much. Hint: remove and store during a major freeze.

Yes. Now, I did buy a bigger, better sand filter for my pool from pool store...you do NOT need to. We chose to do this because we have a very high iron level in our water and felt like we needed something bigger. We enjoyed our pool so much! Last memorial day we had 6 teenagers and 4 adults in pool and had plenty of room!!! Best buy for outdoor fun ever!

this pool comes with a sand filter pump,but you do need to order the "Intex Krystal clear Saltwater system" we set ours up last week and it works great, 3 40lbs bags to begin with but buy them at at a Ace hardware or Walmart so bags dont rip open

Remove old or defective skimmer from the hose that comes from the filter through the pool side. Attach the new skimmer to the hose that is coming from your filter pump. The skimmer I rec'd is bigger but the hose attachment is the same. Works great. Dan

Jacqueline, I used Zeolite instead of sand and the only problem I had was some kept settling in the pool for several weeks after installation. It's been two years, no more settlement, and it filters better than sand(It's possible I may have put too much in to begin with). I can't remember how many sacks of Zeolite I used but it was less than the amount of sand required. Rodney Constant

You will not have to change your sand filter and pump because this will install after those items. As to whether this will be large enough to produce enough chlorine for your pool, I am not sure. I would suggest going to their website and checking on the recommended sizes. I can say that I have a 15x30 oval that is 52 inches deep and this unit is more than enough. I keep the settings on the lower end.

I'm not sure what kind of filter comes with your current pool. My pool had the round skimmer basket with a small black pump that attached at the bottom. I did have to get this piece when I put on my sand filter. It made the connection much easier and it does not leak. It basically replaces where the black pump attached to the bottom of the skimmer basket.

Yes, mine came with a salt water sand filter. This filter works great! We have no trouble keeping the water crystal clear! This is an excellent pool!

This pool comes with a sand / salt filter system. Works great! Comes with a dvd easy to follow video that explains step by step instructions on how to operate the filter and what you need. You can buy the special sand and salt at a pool store. I think the salt filter requires less work and keeps the water clear. I was told to "shock the water" once a week. My family is having hours of fun enjoying this pool! -Angela

no trust me only use pool sand in it anything else wont filter it. sure the pump will come on and run but we learned the hard way the pool water started turning cloudy after a few weeks we could not figure out why after some thought we changed sand and the problem corrected its self

I am not sure about a saltwater pump. I know a lot of the debri goes into the vac's filter. I have just the pump that came with the pool. You may want to call Intex.

I have an s240 sand filter. It was a perfect replacement. Came with all required fittings. Works like a charm.

Nicole, I also have an 18x48 aluminum frame pool. I purchased this set up 2 years ago; it's perfect! No other filters are needed. This thing works like a dream. Once you get the salt balance right (easy add 3 40lb bags) you won't have to do anything else but vacuum all season!

Yes, you need a filter system (either sand or the paper cartridge type)...the pump pushes the water through the filter. I have the saltwater with the sand pump...I LOVE IT...

If I understand your question correctly, sounds like maybe you have the wrong size hose from the pump back to the pool. Are you going through a sand filter?

It will will work with any normal sand filter pump I would think. I have two different filter-pumps for my pool because I have one of them on a salt water chlorinator. One pump is a 1 hp and I think the other is 1.5 hp. Anyway it works great when hooked to either one.
