Can you run the pump separate without the salt system running?

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.

It works fine with the salt generator. It's like any other pump. You adjust run times with generator % to deliver correct chlorine level. This is a very smooth operating powerful pump. I've only had it since the end of last season. No complaints so far.

No I think you would need a separate system for a bottom drain with a seperaye pump

I do not think so. I know when I turn it back on the pump needs to be restarted.

None of the literature mentions anything about not using with a salt water pool. I actually converted my pool to salt water when I installed the heat pump.

No. The output of the pump is heavy and a larger container is needed. I used a large cooler for one and have used a medium storage container from Wal Mart, the kind the sell during the holidays for packing up holiday decorations. Good system otherwise.

You can run the engine for a very short time without the pump being hooked up to water, but it is not recommended. It is always best to have the pump hooked up to water source when starting the engine.

You can by a similar pump different brand, that has a automatic shutoff. Same exact type of pump for a few dollars more. They also sell it on amazon. It is the Tetra pump, purple in color.

Not necessarily, but the pump does draw a substantial amount of current, so you should not run it for very long without the car on. I'd recommend having the car running if possible/safe, but again, it doesn't HAVE to be on. -James

In short, yes you can do what you explain without any added pumps. Best thing for doing what you desire is to upgrade to a larger storage tank. This will allow you to run multiple lines without stress on the system for your demands. But as an example, with the standard 3gal tank, I have no problem with lines running over 10' above the tank and still have good pressure. Just doesn't last long with the small tank.Remember, this system makes a decent amount of waste water, so don't expect 10gal to go in and 10gal to come out. If you plan on using it throughout your house, the cost and water consumption will surprise you. In short, yes you can do what you explain without any added pumps.

Yes, But it is not needed if you are running the saltwater system. You may need to run it a few more hours. You can also buy the little bags of shock and shock the pool every week or or when ever you have a lot of people in the pool. I myself run my saltwater system at least 12 hours and I keep the pump running 24-7. I add 1 bag of salt at the end of the year. Keeping the pool moving at all time keeps it clear plus cleaning the filter on a regular basis (about every 3-4 days).

Pretty sure you can...I don't think there is any dependency between using the salt and using the detergent. I went for awhile without any salt in my dishwasher and the Somat detergent seemed to work just fine.

This is not a pump at all. It is a system that converts your salt water into chlorine and the pump must be bought separately.

You need the separate pump for the saltwater system. It will attach to the pump that comes with the pool.

Yes you can...you just have to prime the pump...you will need a back flow valve at the end of the suction hose which is sold separately by various companies

If all you want is the pump and filter, there are similar pumps WITHOUT the saltwater (Chorine) generator on Amazon. A lot cheaper too.

Yes it can be run without it. It is used for siphoning clean products, for pre-treating heavy soiled areas.
