Dose this work for salt water filters?

The ceramic bio tubes are simply a place/means for beneficial bacteria (BB) to colonize. The tubes DO NOT filter water per se; filtered water passes across these tubes, and the BB scrubs the water of nitrites. I do not know with 100% certainty if saltwater BB will take to these tubes like freshwater BB does. I recommend you research an exact answer at AquariumAdvice.com forums.

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.

Takes the bad stuff out of water. Yes I use the water for my salt water tanks.

No , for saltwater you need a bigger tank to do anything ,witch means a bigger filter

Yes, this will work for a salt unit. Once the membrane needs replaced I recommend upgrading to a 100GPD. Be sure to purchase a TDS meter you can check your levels regularly.

Yes, this will work with most canister filters and I have not noticed any difference in flow rate. I have mine on and Marineland C220 canister filter.

Yes, your pump/cartridge filter will work with it. When you say plug in are you talking about ion unit? This thing works good with our saltwater. And sand filter system. You could get a sand filter for a good price right now. 18' round how many gallons? We had has to use filterpump bypass when ionizer went out. We had to replace pump 16x32 15,000 gallons. Sand pump 2450 gallons per hour. 218.00 sand last up to 5 year without changing it. Filters ok but saltwater/sand filter best.

Yes, it certainly does filter contaminants from sea water. However, it does not desalinate seawater, so you would not be able to drink it.

I am not qualified to answer that question. You should ask the manufacturer of the filters. They would be best to know what their filters are made for.

YES! I have a salt water pool and it works great. Occasionally, you may want to rinse off any salt which accumulates on the top of the cover with a garden hose just to keep it looking new and clean.

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.

Yes, but for saltwater, you will need to order the zinc anodes kit. This set does not have them.

I would have to see how it is set up to be sure, However; it is really simple. Instead of your filter coming out of the pool and going strait back in the hoses come out of the pool to your existing filter from there it goes into the salt water system them back into the pool. As long as the hose connections are the same there should be no reason it should not work. The hoses on my pool are just standard 1 inch plastic hoses. My pool is an intex, so it's completely compatible.

Probably not, simply because of the timer that controls both the saltwater system and the filter at the same time. Before getting this pool we had a separate salt system and used the sand filter, but since this came with the all-in-one system we decided to try it. We haven't had any problems with the cartridge filter and haven't had to change the cartridge all summer. It has been a lot easier than trying to use the two systems.

I have no idea. I guess it would depend on the composition of the filter that you have. This is good stuff.

Yes, you absolutely can and should be doing so. If you look at the specifications, the pool filtration process is longer than the chlorination process. On a daily basis the pool filter pump should be running longer than the salt water chlorinator. The water passes through the salt water chlorinator but without the electric charge it is just doing that, passing through.

The pump that came with our pool is a sand filter and yes, this will work with a salt system. I bought the Intex Salt System to go with it and so far, it's working great.
