Will this filter system work good on a intex 18ftx4ft pool with a saltwater system?

Hello Liz,Absolutely, We have used it for a full season without ANY issues. Once we charged the pool with the inital dose of salt and chemicals, we had NO problems all year. You can use the timer to cut down on your energy useage as claimed. The water remains Crystal Clear as promised. What a time saver and a quality improvement versus the cartidges, which are next to useless.

Absolutely. It will keep your pool water sparkling clean. This sand filter system is awesome. I recommend it AND the saltwater system to everyone who asks. I am so glad I'll never again have to spend money on replacement paper filters or harsh expensive pool chemicals. These systems are great time savers too. My pool almost takes complete care of itself. Once it is set up in the spring and the timers are set I really don't need to do much more except relax and enjoy it!

Yes it sure will. Caution on what sand you purchase for the filter. I found the filter sand at Menards that is the best and would not push back into the pool.

My salt water system died, so I can't say with certainty, but I see no reason that it would decrease function. I have this filter system on that size pool & am happy with its ability to quickly clean the water, plus I bought a real pool vac set to use on this filter system & it vacuums debris out well.

Yes this system would work perfect for your pool, I have a Intex 18X9 5ft deep pool and also have the salt water system and it works perfect, I only run it 4 hours a day and the pool is sparkling Clear!

I have a 18x4 Intex Ultra Frame. This pump worked great, kept the pool Krystal Clear. We used it all last summer and will be putting up our pool soon!

I have this filter on a 16x34 unground pool, so it should be more than enough.

I'm a new pool owner and not familiar with salt systems to say whether this will work or not.

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..

It should work. It work with my 18 ft intex pool. It comes with adapters. This our third year using it and we love it.

Yes, I have this set-up and it works GREAT. My pool is only 16' round, 48'' high (approx. 5000 gal) though so I set the filter pump to run approx. 4 hrs. every night together with the saltwater chlorinator and I only had to shock the pool once or twice last summer, and that only because I did not run the filter for a few days. What a change from years past when it took so much work just to keep the water balanced.Setting your pump up with a saltwater chlorinator will give you a virtually MAINTENANCE-FREE pool all summer long. No more constantly adding chlorine or trying to keep your water balanced. You do it once, and then pretty much maintenance free all summer giving you time to really enjoy your pool.

22.000 gal is the max this filter can handle and keep pool clean. The pool you have I would estimate at about 9000-10.000 gal. This filter would be overkill. I would go with the Hayward S144T1540S Pro Series. Hayward makes a good filter and I think you will be happy. If you go to Hayward Filters web site you see what each model will handle. I tend to pick one that is a little bigger than I need. You wont have to run as much and save on electricity. Good Luck.

I bought this pump for an 18x3.5 above ground pool and it worked well. I also had an Intex Salt chlorine generator. Flow was awesome. Hope this helps...

I have it on an eighteen foot Intex above ground pool and it's on the third year and still keeps it clean. I would think it should work for you.

Yes. This filter will work fine on the pool you describe. I put one on a system with similar specs and it works great!

This Sand Filter is for an Above Ground Pool Only 18 Ft Diameter or Smaller

I have an 18ft round pool and upgraded the pump to the intex 1600 Gph and filter and salt system and it keeps my pool crystal clear. I was going to buy the bigger pump and I am glad I decided on this one.

I have an Intex 18 x 10 oval pool and it works great. None of the adapters it came with worked with the pool, but I was able to use the adapter that came with the Intex Deluxe wall mount skimmer. However, the vacuum works best with 1500 gph pump and above. I'm now using 2500 sand and salt filter and works very good.

Yes. I placed this product on my Intex 36"X16' above ground pool. Works great.

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.

I would call a local pool store and ask them what their recommendations would be for your pool. I personally would go for the bigger filter but I feel its best to check with a pool place just to be 100% sure.

I use this pump on my Intex pool and have been using the vacuum that came with the pool. It works really well because the filter system has such great suction. I would think most systems would work equally as well.
