Does anyone know how much sand and salt an Intex 18' x 10' x 42" pool takes? Thank you very much.

I used a full 40lb bag of sand to fill the filter to the line in the tank, make sure you use the correct sand also bought at a pool supply, same with the salt, I used over 200 lbs for my 24' X 52" pool, the pump will tell you if the salt is strong enough, my sand filter came with a chart showing the amount needed for all of intex's pools..

my pool is 32x16 and goes from 3 to 11 feet deep. (aprox. 22,000 gallons) It cleaned mine up in 8 hrs. at start up this season. Like it much better than the Pentaire Tagulus I've had in the past.

It takes about 40 lbs of sand and the amount of salt depends on the size pool you have. Mine took 160 lbs initially. The manual explains specifically for all size pools. This is an awesome upgrade from the origional pump that came with the pool. The saltwater system is very nice, no more chlorine!

Sand use 50 LBS as far as salt it depends on the gallon size of your pool...it needs to be at 3000 ppm. Hope that helps

You must get the salt at your local pool shop. They can tell you how much salt for the size of your pool. They will calculate it.

No, all I added was approximately 85 lbs. of salt. You will of course need the chlorine generator. You won't be disappointed with the set up, this pool is fantastic. I have not had any maintenance issues with any component with the pool set and generator. I also have a 15' x 48" easy set, ENJOY!!!

18 X 48 pools normally come with a 1500 GPH pump. For the small difference in price, I would upgrade to the 2500 GPH model. I went through several pumps that were the size that came with my pool. I went to the next size up, & besides doing a better job of filtering, I haven't had any failures of the pump motor. I would also recommend the intex filters over those from Walmart. There's quite a difference in the amount of paper folds & they will do a better job on the small silt, etc. Be sure to get the right size. (Available from Amazon of course) Ron

Intex has the manual on their website. Free to download. It will give you the salt amounts based on the size of your pool

This is the second summer we use our saltwater system and have not encountered any problems. Make sure your calculating the amount of salt needed to the size of pool you have. We have a 12' round pool and add 1 1/2 bags of pool salt. We also clean the copper plates with vinegar every other month to avoid calcium build up.

Hi TL :-) The pool comes with a liner so really sand isn't required but if you want to make it a little more stable you can use sand. That's about all prep you need to do as far as I know (I haven't put one together myself) It's listed as 20-40 minutes to assemble so probably double that I'd say, Hope this helps!!! If theres any other questions please let me know Cheers Dale Fraser

I have an Intex pool that it filled very quickly and a kayak (not Intex) that it also fills quickly. 10 min or less.

We used it with sallt but we ended up changing to sand , because the pumps were not big enough for thr pool

100 pounds of sand. Usually three bags. Salt depends on size of pool. i.e. 8000 Gallon Pool needs 200 pounds of pool salt.

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

It calls for 55 pounds of sand, but we put a 50 pound bag of pool filter sand in and it works just fine. There is a fill line inside of the pump and 50 pounds of sand went above the minimum fill line. I found a bag of pool filter sand was at the local hardware store for $10.

Your level are found in the manual and it depends on the size of pool you have. To be honest I have around a 5500 gallon pool and added I think around 120 pounds and this will last along time just as long as you are not draining water out of the pool. If I were you and your pump is reading low salt I would add a bag and see what you got after a few hours. I always use the salt specified for pools because it is finer crystals and take no time to dissolve
