Once you go salt, you don't go back

We've been running this for a little over a month now and absolutely love it. The last time we used our pool we went with traditional chemicals but after talks with other pool owners who used salt we took the chance. All I can say as it's been great. No longer have to fight chemical to balance everything out. No longer have to shock the pool. It's like an all in one unit. If I need to "shock" the pool, I just hit boost mode and let it run. To get things set up we started with the pool empty. Filled it up and added 5 bags of 40lb salt (what our size pool called for). Let the salt dissolve a little while. Disconnect the filter that feed back to the pool and connected that to the salt chlorinator and then used the supplied hose to go from the salt chlorinator back to the pool. Power on and let it work it's magic. Very easy setup with good directions.

Don't give up! Works great

OK. 4 months later, and still works great on my 10x30 pool. Here is what I've learnt so far : -Don't follow the manufacturer' table and start adding salt little by little if you don't want to end up draining the pool. Yes, the error 92 will be your worst nightmare if you don't do that. Once it's under control it will work great. If it happens, drain a little (20%) and refill. - The code will be back if you don't use a cover or add chlorine stabilizer. - The pump should be on 24/7 - Clean your pump filter often so you don't get the low flow error. - Restart the system everytime you get any codes So far it has been working great and I'm really happy I don't have to deal with chlorine tablets/smell.

Took a chance on this and couldn’t be happier!

I read so many reviews about the saltwater system, and took a chance even with the bad reviews. I have been using an Intex sand filter (12”) for 5 years now (as seen in my photo). My pool is an Intex Prism Frame 15x48 round. After setting up the pool and beginning to fill, I got the sand filter set up on the pool and attached the saltwater system. Getting that added was super easy! Next I got the sand filter running and added the salt. I thought this would be trial and error as many people say the unit threw codes. I calculated the amount of salt and added it (2 3/4 bags for our 15x48-I used the chart in the booklet that came with it...online calculators told me to add more which would have resulted in a ‘high salt’ alert) and ran the pump without the saltwater system turn on, for the recommended 24 hours so the salt would circulate and dissolve. I followed the instructions and turned on the saltwater system and set the timer. One thing I didn’t realize is that later in the Manual it says at startup you should use the ‘boost’ button! This has the unit make chlorine faster. Later on you will use this to ‘shock’ your pool instead of pouring in chlorine shock! Perfect! After running it for 14 hours on boost, I have the perfect level of chlorine. Add some stabilizer and there you have it! A perfectly balanced pool. After that you just run it for the allotted time in the manual. For my size pool, with stabilizer) it says 3 hours. Without stabilizer 6. I am really happy I took the chance on this! Be sure not to put too much salt in at first, and you will be up and running! Will update after more use!

Must have

This is a must have for an above ground pool. I have an intex 12x24x52 with the saltwater system, intex skimmer, and vacuum. The pool requires maybe 5 min a day in cleaning maintenance and stays chrystal clear all summer long. The saltwater system makes all the difference. I started out without it and it was a constant headache trying to get the levels right. On year two now with this system and haven't regretted it for a second. Maintains the chlorine level perfectly and was had an easy setup and operation. Just follow the instructions and you are good to go. Everyone I know who has an above ground pool without the saltwater system does nothing but complain about how much work it is. I do next to nothing.

Useful for Inground Pools Also

I plumbed the SWG into my inground pool system using standard 2” pvc fittings. With some teflon tape I was able to seal the threads, no leaks so far. It seems that the salt concentration required is less than recommended. I purchased 6 bags for 12,000 gal pool but after adding 4 its working perfectly. I was down to 0ppm free Cl after the weekend, ran the SWG for 4 hours and am now at a perfect 2ppm. Cutting the existing PVC plumbing and attaching union joints and working around the required inlet and outlet sides is a bit tedious but definitely worth it.

This works fricking great compared to the old model

Has self cleaning and puts out better than the older model well worth the money. I haven't had to clean the element since I had it due to the self cleaning option. The booster works great haven't had to add any chemicals to the pool either. I seen some bad reviews with salt levels and things like that and that could be they had low salt levels. I am very satisfied and will buy again if needed, well worth the money when you look at the cost of shock it or chlorine tablets. (BUY ONE) FYI I was hesitant to purchase after reading some reviews and im not getting anything for writing this review except for 13,500 gallon crystal clear pool with no maintenance yet and saving lots of money on chemicals. I should have gotten one last year. Do like I was going to do: (return it if it didn't work)

I had the previous model and this one may be even better.

I thought I'd hop on here and write a review about this saltwater chlorinator because I also used the previous model. (note:Nothing wrong with the previous model, my lawn service ran over the cord) The last two summers I put up an Intex 12 ft x 30 in pool and this year I put up a 10 ft by 30 inch pool both by Intex. I know this system is a little overkill for this pool size but I love getting a pool big enough to cool off in without using tons of water with a superior filter system so it has the smallest amount of maintenance. The first two years I had the larger pool placed in the grass in full sun. I did mostly well with the setup but I did have some greener or cloudy water days compared to this year. (I shocked it more often) I'm not sure yet if it's because it was warmer earlier in the year (this year it's still getting down to the 60's at night and previous years it was probably 70 or 80 at night) lower temperatures can affect algae growth as the more human warm temps make it flourish. I also feel like setting the pool up off the grass has helped so much because the less grass that makes it into the pool the better. I will say that I run this system as much as possible. I have it set to run for 12 hours. I know in the past I would do like 6 or 8 thinking about saving energy but DO NOT do that. It doesn't use much energy at all and it's so much more work to have to mess around with getting rid of algae. It automatically comes on because of the pump I'm using with it and runs all day. I haven't had to do a single thing and it's been up for 2 weeks besides fish out leave with my strainer. I also think you should clean out the filter every week with a spray down and buy a new filter every month. Haven't had to clean mine out yet. I haven't received any high or low salt warnings (I did calculate the exact salt amount) and with my previous version when I did receive them I cleaned the cell before adding salt or ditching water. Overall I find this product to be great and I think it will be at least 2-4 summers based on my experience with this value of pump. Note: This is the pump I'm using, I bought it because it was the one I had before and I had all the attachments already-it's easy to use and has a timer.

Awesome!

You will wish you had bought this year's ago. Pair it with the big Intex 16 inch sand filter pump and you have got something better than fried gold.

End result LOVE IT!

I read many reviews after purchasing and was very discouraged. I was able to exchange mine as it kept giving a high salt code as described by many. The new one arrived several hours and high salt code came on again. I drained and added more water and this worked running all day for 12 hours then noticed it would kick off with high salt code. Very frustrated but determined I added fresh water thru the skimmer, great results. I never tested my water again but believe the salt they say to add could still be a bit high. After a week I had no more problems. I had read a review about putting sand filter on a timer so they over rode the auto shut off on the saltwater pump. I found that the pump would come on automatically every day at the same time you started the day before, so a timer on my sand filter was no problem, set it to come on 30 minutes earlier than the saltwater pump. I had a clear pool all summer never adding chemicals. I did learn that after a week if water might look a little cloudy just add a bag of shock or after a big rain add a bag of shock but really was literally maintenance free. Just closed my pool and brought the saltwater pump in the house for winter storage and can't wait for summer already. I had a chlorine pool for 8 years and have been so pleased changing to the saltwater, even with the trail and errors. SO do not get discouraged or give up on this pump.

Save time and money with this

This is our 2nd Salt Water system (I did not winterize the first one). Instillation is easy. for our set-up all the necessary adapters were included in the box so I literally had to hook up a couple of hoses and turn the thing on - it might have taken 10 minutes to get it to start working. As soon as it begins generating chlorine you can see small bubbles forming so you know right away that it is working. There are a few things you need to know about this 1) it would be VERY helpful if the hoses were longer 2) if you are trying to get the salt level right in your pool there are math formulas and spreadsheets and calculators and websites and white papers dedicated to the physics behind calculating how much to add - well, let me make it simple for you - from zero, add 10 pounds of salt per 1000 gallons of water. Period. It is that simple. you will have the mix right in the sweet spot of where this unit likes to operate.
