Using diatomaceous earth (DE) in a saltwater generator pool is generally not recommended. DE can clog up the filter system, potentially leading to reduced water flow and efficiency. Instead, consider using a compatible filter media specifically designed for saltwater systems to maintain optimal performance and water clarity. Always consult your pool manufacturer’s guidelines for the best practices regarding filtration.

How long can you swim in a saltwater pool with a broken saltwater generator The Intex pump is still going?

You can swim in a saltwater pool with a broken saltwater generator as long as the water is clean and balanced, and the Intex pump is still functioning properly. The pump will continue to circulate the water, helping to maintain some level of sanitation. However, without the generator producing chlorine, the pool may become less sanitary over time, so it's best to monitor water quality and consider adding chlorine manually if swimming for an extended period. Regular testing and maintenance are key to ensuring safe swimming conditions.
