Should you use a sand or saltwater system for your intex above ground pool?

Answer 1

Most definitly. I had a salt water system installed in March of 2008. and still use my sand filterit works great. No problem at all. I use inexpensive water softener salt, 40lb bag, I try and keep a record of my system reading and keep it within the original settings that was in use when it was set up. The water is like smooth diamond. Crystal clear. The only thing I had to do was backwash to clear out the pollen and leaves. After that I added salt, about 2 bags, after I shut the generator off for about 24hrs. Then turning it on and checking the readings. WoW This is a great thing. Less work and more Play. Let me know how you come out. Enjoy.

Sand filters require adding chemicals to the pool as needed. Sun, rain, and the number of people using the pool all have a direct impact on the pools water quality. It's a on going battle to keep the water quality in a suitable range. A salt water chlorine generator (CG) makes it own chlorine. Once the proper amount of salt is added (25lbs per 1000gal) of water your done. Sun, rain, and people don't have a direct impact on it. Only when spillage or lower water level and adding make up water do you half to ad more salt. Top off water as it is called then you will add (40lbs) of salt. In conclusion a Salt Generator is a no brainer. It cheaper, it takes care of itself with very little maintenance. And best of all the water is Crystal clear. Hope this will shed some light and save you some money. R.B.
