I want to do a saltwater system. I bought the Krystal Clear Sand &amp; Salt Water System #2650. Is this all I need except for the salt &amp; sand?

I would not recommend to use sand in a pool, but otherwise: correct, all you need. Some stabilizer chemical to set the pool up and avoid pollution.

Chemicals used in the saltwater version are just pool salt. It comes in 40 pound bags. You also will need a certain fine grain sand (this goes inside your filter).

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.

You need a reverse osmosis (RO) system or a distillery for salt water (seawater). This is for fresh water only, IF it did filter out salt it might only filter out a total of 1/2 cup of salt. You should try it and let us know how it works.

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

Yes. The only requirement for the original filter is that it must be able to provide the necessary water flow to the saltwater system. ( The saltwater system DOES NOT pump the water, the original pool filter does ). Therefore, they both must be run at the same time and at least for the same length of time ( the saltwater manual tells you all about it ). Usually, the pool pump must run an extra hour after the saltwater system finished its job.

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.

I normally by my pool salt at Leslie's Pool Supply - Their brand. There are lots of options. Lowes and even Walmart sell Morton's Pool Salt. Just be sure to test or have your pool tested prior to adding the salt. If you add too much, you just have to drain a little and add fresh water so not even a worry there. I LOVE my salt water pool and often wonder why it took me so long to make the switch. Good luck.

Hi Brenda we purchased the 18 by 52 it came with the salt water system and the Sand pump the salt water system is awesome the water is so clear and great on the skin and hair and no burning eyes. So if the pump that came with is not a sand pump I would recommend you get one. We decided not to level under the pool with sand because after we take our pool down for the winter we did not want a big sand pile left for all the neiborhood animals to use as a litter box so we used cinder blocks. My husband dug a hole in the ground and put the block in and lined each pole up on each block he used a stick with a level on it and it worked out great! Enjoy your pool I'm sure you will love it

When we purchased the pool it came with its stock filter pump. As an extra we purchased the stand alone saltwater system and connected the two in series. I would assume a combo pump/saltwater system is all you'd need to do the job, assuming the pump has some form of filtering system built into it. You should make sure the pump in the combo system is at least as powerful as the standard pump that comes with the 18' x 48" pool, as water flow strength is critically important for the saltwater system to operate (a water flow that's too weak will shut down the saltwater system and post an alarm). An Intex representative should be able to answer that question for you. When we purchased the pool it came with its stock filter pump.

If your asking about the main tank you need to fill it with water softener salt. The tank will hold between 20 to 40 pounds of salt. That becomes the brine that cleans and charges the catalyst to soften the water. It's best to put the salt in first. Then the water will mix when the clean charge cycle runs and moves the brine through the catalyst chamber. I use the Morton system salt I buy at Home Depot.

I only used salt when I opened our pool. It took 3 40 lb bags for a 16' X 48" pool and the level was perfect. We did have a long weekend a couple of weeks ago where our GFC in the pump got tripped and came home to algae. To fix it we added 10 oz of algaecide and 3 lbs of shock, cleared it up in a couple of days and allowed the saltwater system to catch up. Still very pleased with the system.

Ours is regular water. We've never done a salt water pool filter before. If I recall correctly, the instructions indicated you could convert to salt. See if you can find a "how to" video on YouTube. I found helpful hints there when setting up the vacuum.

Correct no salt.FYI - The system did not work.It was replaced by a high end commercial system installed by my well guy.I gave the other system away to someone on Amazon who wanted to try it for free�

yes- but if you are buying with the intex salt water system dont wasti your money- it only lasted two weeks past the two year warranty. the sand pump still works and we have gone back to salt. We even took it inside in the winter so it was really only used for six months.
