You can also get more info here: http://www.theperfectwater.com/Home-Master-2-Stage-Fine-Sediment-and-Carbon-Filter.html . It's good for 100,000 gallons before you need to change the filter. I've had mine a year and so far I love it.

The unit came with a 2 year limited warranty. The recommended filter usage is about 12 months of use per filter. This unit is well built so I have no hesitation in stating that this will be in service for many years to come. Since this is strictly a Whole House Filtration system and not a water softener it does not use salt. I do plan on adding a Water Softener system in the near future which would be plumbed in behind the filter. So far the unit has been in service for 6 months and is working great.

2 year warranty. No salt. As long as you protect the unit from the elements it should last many, many years.

I've worn out the warranty on Waterwise 8800. The unit has been good to me. It's about 7 years old. I take care of it as far as dust accumulation.

Since salt is TDS and it brings TDS's to zero I would say yes. But after living with the system I would say get a RO. Zero water was the most expensive water system I used. I got 5 gallons only from each filter, and they only last for 9 days regardless of water cleaned before the water start smelling like rotten fish I went with a good 5 stage RO and very happy with it.

Have not had a warranty issue. The units have worked well thus far. Sorry for no report.

Sorry very hard typing on my phone. But hopefully you understand. I love my salt water setup. I don't mess with any real chemicals.

I don't know how long the warranty lasts but I'm into my third year with them. I can't recommend anything to clean them with other than water because any detergent will do more harm than good to your overall water quality.

When you buy the kit, you get a bag of salt and you only use a third of it. The salts do not get replaced often at all, not looking at box now, but only replace like about once every 6 months to year I remember reading from someone or somewhere.

Our system continuously said low salt. We contacted the manufacturer and we were sent a new copper plate. Still didn't work. We gave up and now use the old chlorine method.

I don't have the warranty at hand since it was a gift for my mother and it's at her house. But she's had it for 4 months and it's working fine. I can also tell you that we had to send it overseas because we live in Venezuela, and it arrived in good shape. I think it's a good product and it will work fine as long as you you keep the water away from the electric parts (cables, etc).

Would recommend power center, Ic40(is that is your size) and sand filter. Then add salt.

We set our pool up in May, 2014 and it is now July, 2014. We have not had to add any salt. It is my understanding that the "low salt" light will come on if needed. Very happy to say our pool has tested perfect each week and we haven't had to do anything except the usual Regular Filter changes. Absolutely nothing with the saltwater filter!

I did not buy the warranty as this is a simple system and not much to break

It really depends on what you want to accomplish. It's basically "clean" salt. For the machine you will need to use many packages.

I believe it carries a 12-month warranty. I'm not sure what problems you're seeing, but we ran into a small issue after owning it for about 6 months. It would just rotate water repeatedly. I unplugged it, reset the tray and plugged it back in. That solved the issue. It's run strong ever since.

Very likely it is NOT low salt. I have used this system for a few years and get that reading regularly because I have hard water. The minerals in the water build up on the salt sensor and it then the sensors can't sense the salt. Take the hoses off either side, put the end caps on and fill unit with vinegar (see cleaning instructions). Let is soak for 30 minutes then rinse thoroughly. As an aside, I usually tilt the unit slightly while soaking it to make sure the vinegar completely covers the sensor. In the MANY times I've had this reading (low salt), I can only remember ONE time when the salt was actually low. Of course, always double check your salt level with test strips.

sorry for the delay, but this unit can not filter out the salt in the salt water. I contacted the manufacturer and they are not looking at this process at this time, do to the expense of what it would take to separate the salt.

SALT... I had the floatron and that was a total waste of money. It barely did anything and requires you to check it out all the time and replace the rod and clean things. It does the job but waaay too much work. If you want customer support or tech support they are rude. I have a Pool Pilot Digital - Nano (smaller one) and it was about $750 installed with the salt. Love it. In cooler months no salt has to be added. When it is hot and the water heats up it takes salt maybe twice a season or so. Maybe a few bags. It has a digital printout of the temp of the water and the % of purification and it will tell you how much salt is needed if any. All digital. Love it. SALT...
