A chlorine generator, also known as a salt generator, is an addition to a pool pump and filter system that converts salt to chlorine. It is another method of adding chlorine to a swimming pool. You will still need a filter, like sand, to filter dirt and debris from the swimming pool.

You don't have to change anything The only thing you have to do is make up your mind about the saltwater chlorinator you intend to use, fit it along the pipe according to instructions or better still get an expert to do it and then add salt to the water. the filtration equipment need not be changed.

No. A sand filter will always be a sand filter. Salt will always be salt. A filter can never be turned into salt {;-).

I am assuming that you want to install a salt chlorinator system and you want to know if it is compatible with a sand filter. The answer is yes. However, a salt chlorinator will cost you more in the long run than continuing to buy plain old chlorine.
