Is all I need to buy for this system salt and sand? Thank you for your help.

Yes. All you will need for this system is salt and sand. You must use pool sand and not playground though. Your sand will last for 5 years. This system has its own boost which eliminates shocking your pool as well. It is a nice system.

Yes, but don't buy the sand at home depot or lowes. The sand is a specific grade, so read the instructions! This thing is heads and tails above the paper filter unit. It has required virtually zero maintenance all summer. I'm picky!

So, the sand filter AND saltwater system is included in this price? Is it one unit or 2?

this pool comes with a sand filter pump,but you do need to order the "Intex Krystal clear Saltwater system" we set ours up last week and it works great, 3 40lbs bags to begin with but buy them at at a Ace hardware or Walmart so bags dont rip open

You have to buy sand locally. I suggest that you buy top quality playsand; you can get it WalMart, Home Depot, Lowes, KMart or Target. You'll need a few bags and we changed ours regularly to keep it clean.

I used bags of salt from Walmart. It was Morton pool salt in the garden section. It was on sale at 3.99 a bag, about $2.oo off the regular price at the time. The amount of salt depends on the amount of water in your pool. There are charts to help you with salt amounts in the instruction manual. Also you can test and check with test strips to see if your system is working right or you need ajustments.

yes you can. i had an intex salt system. i replaced the salt generator 3 times. 1 time under warranty and 2 on my own dime. this system is junk. i would recommend something besides intex. the swg leaked each time and never worked right to begin with. also the pump does not push the water very good.

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

I don't know that it matters. I didn't order this system but it was shipped to me by error. I had gotten the system that is both in one unit. I did go look at it and it is set up so that water runs through the saltwater unit before it goes into the sand filter. Hope that helps.

The filter will take about 100 - 120 pounds of sand. The salt will depend on the size of your pool. The instructions with the unit will tell you exactly what is needed. Very easy system to set up. If you have a small pool you will need the Intex 1-1/2" to 1-1/4"hose adapters.

Yes, you need a filter system (either sand or the paper cartridge type)...the pump pushes the water through the filter. I have the saltwater with the sand pump...I LOVE IT...

We bought this pool 4 weeks ago, and it came with a pump, saltwater system, and a sand filter. So far, the system has been working flawlessly. It also came with the manual vacuum that worked ok, but we replaced it with automatic one.

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!

You have to buy the complete system. This is ONLY the console receiver. Send this back and order the Davis 6250. The 6250 part number gets you the ISS (sensors) and the console.

Look here Brenda for some ideas http://www.intexcorp.com/index.php/home/above-ground-pools/easy-set-pools/18-549cm-easy-set-pools-w-ss/57928eg.htmlon the saltwater system you will need.

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

Ours came with it! We had to buy 2 50lb bags of sand for the filter, very cheap. We also had to buy 5 40lb bags of pool salt, to start up. The sand and pool salt together cost less than $50.00 at Home Depot. The water is crystal clear, no chlorine odor, it's absolutely wonderful!! We've only had ours for a few weeks, but I highly recommend it. Very simple assembly and very cheap startup with the salt system.
