Will this system work with a sand filter pump?

Yes it will, as long as the flow rate on the sand filter pump is between 1,000 and 4,000 gph (gallons per hour). Call us if you have more questions! 800-704-9684

The filter will take about 100 - 120 pounds of sand. The salt will depend on the size of your pool. The instructions with the unit will tell you exactly what is needed. Very easy system to set up. If you have a small pool you will need the Intex 1-1/2" to 1-1/4"hose adapters.

Not sure what you mean by "bypass". You don't have to leave the existing pump in the loop. If you have a sand/filter pump already, that is simply a matter of connecting the existing hoses to the other pump. The pump/filter you have probably has 1.5 inch inlet and outlet ports (if it is the same as mine). Most of the larger sand filter pumps have 2 inch. You can get an adapter at any hardware store that you can stick in the end of your existing pump hose that will allow you connect to the sand filter.

If it is a sand filter you should be able to use it. It replaces sand on 1:1 ratio.

Yes, we just bought this pool and contracted it to an intex sand filter and saltwater system. We had the sand and salt water system last year and it worked great. We didn't have to use any other chemicals and it stayed clear and clean. Great setup.

Pumps and filters need to be paired. There are a lot of different pumps with different capabilities on the market. Above ground pumps and in-ground (self priming) pumps have different capabilities. Some pumps are up-rated while others are full rated. You also need to make sure that your pump has enough power to provide enough "lift" to thoroughly clean the sand bed when you backwash. On the other hand, too big of a pump, you will "blast" the dirt right thru the filter. Not trying to confuse you, just trying to help make sure you make a wise buying decision.

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

yes the salt water pump should be in the kit. if it comes with the paper filter I highly recommend getting the bigger pump with the sand filter.

Yes. The inlet and outlet are threaded 1.5". I replaced the sand filter on our smaller 7,000 gal. in-ground fiberglass pool with this filter and have had excellent results. We are into our 2nd season and other than clogging up with dead algae at the opening, these filters last a long time. I suggest buying an extra cartridge to alternate and clean them with a pressure washer.

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.

Yes it sure will. Caution on what sand you purchase for the filter. I found the filter sand at Menards that is the best and would not push back into the pool.

Per the hubby, there are two models, one for sand and one for DE. The numbers are slightly different. Ask at a Pool supply store, or an online pool store, and have the model number of your sand filter handy.

This will work, but you need a adapter so it can hook to the hose on your system. Second thing, it may take awhile because its a single stage pump. Best of luck to you...

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.

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.

If you want to use them on the filter that's your call... They were not included and I didn't need them for my sand filter. I bought them for use on the pump/motor assy.
