I bought the sand filter and saltwater system together. You have to purchase your sand and salt seperately from a pool supply store. It comes with books for each component and a cover for the pool. Watch the DVD to get the general idea and search the books for specific answers. My pool was 18x52, but your filter will still need about 55lbs of sand since it should be about half full. The 48 pool will require about 200 lbs of salt. Buy some extra because you need to add more about once a week.

for that info I would advise you to go to the makers, CELTIC SEA SALT in Asheville, NC. for that answer. if its not on their website then u can call them. I put my salt in glass jars when I get it so I don't have the package but of course it is in trace mineral form.

You need to use muriatic acid. Can be purchased at a pool supply store or hardware store.

Just salt. The filter and hoses are included. I love this system. Add 2 bags of salt and then add gradually. I put in 3 bags for the same size pool and the salt was high. The only way to fix that is to drain 20% of the water and refill. Did that and now it is working beautifully. So easy!!!!!

I would check out pool suppliers web sites , they probably could answer this question or recommend a filter for your pool that you can then search for on amazon

You can use the pump and filter that comes with the salt water system. Or, if you wish, you can add the sand filter to the salt water system; however, that requires some familiarity with simple plumbing to do properly. As for how much sand is necessary for leveling the pool..that is a difficult question to answer since I don't know the grade of your yard. You have to use a transit level across the diameter of the pool to determine the grade first...then, you can estimate the amount of sand needed. If your area is already level, then no sand is necessary. Be aware that leveling the area using sand is not recommended. You can use the pump and filter that comes with the salt water system.

You may not have ENOUGH salt in your pool. If you haven't had your water tested, I would suggest you take a sample (up to one cup) to one of your local pool stores and let them test the levels. You will need to give them the size of your pool so they can determine the amount of salt required. That would be my first step. Good luck.

Yeah, thanks everyone. Really confusing reading online some people say nothing but salt, others say bleach, borax, stabilizer, shock. It's hard to know how to start it. Picking up my pool today and I have my three bags of salt and saltwater generator ready and waiting!

Just dont put chlorine in the water for a week. Then put in the salt system. Go to you local pool company to find out how much salt you need then a week after putting salt system in place take a water sample to the pool place to test it to ensure you dont need more salt.

Any type found in pool store or Home Depot style store will work. It's like seven bucks for a gallon bottle. Be careful when using it not to spill on concrete, it will stain it.

I can help you with the question. I actually got confused when ordering this pool and got the pool with everything included, AND the salt system. I was wrong. This pool already comes with the salt system and it works great!. Basically, you just need to order this pool and it will come with everything you need, including the salt water system and cleaning kit. So far my kids love the pool and it is structurally very stable. I had to put 210 lbs of pure salt and I only had to pay about 65 dollars and that's it! I will probably need to spend around 11 dollars every 2 months or so to keep the salt levels ok. The water does not taste salty at all, it is a great system!

what saltwater system to purchase for a 30 x 54 23,000 gallon above ground pool trying to convert from chlorine to saltwater.

No just salt. The salt is not placed in the filter it Is spread around the pool. The salt is real fine. You must have a really large pool. Mine is 15'x15'. I used less than 40lbs. And still have about 10 pds. left over. You put it in till you reach the right chemical reading. I love this filter didn't have to add much more all summer long. No eyes burning or dryer skin or hair. The kids think its great. Hope this is helpful.

Just salt from the pool supply store and lots of it. You add it at the beginning of the summer and that's it for the season. Amt, type and filter operation is in the instruction manual. You also need to buy 50lbs of filter sand for the filter.

You can buy it at any store. Just use the something smaller to pour the solution into the machine.
