Could this be used instead of sand in Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater Sand Filter Pump? Has anyone used it?

I use it and seem to have no problems but I can't atest to the use in salt water. I should replace any filter sand.

I use this with an Intex salt water pump. I don't have any problems with it.

I own this Intext pool, and have an Intex salt water clorinator hooked up following the Intex filter that came with the pool. We put salt in the pool upon opening, and the clorinator creates the clorine as the water goes through it. You can do a search for Saltwater systems and find out everything you need to know. Good luck!

Always use replacement pump with same horse power as the original pump. If the C225 filter is same size as original, and original pump was 1.5 hp, as this pump is, then will be ok. If you are going from a sand filter to cartridge filter, I am not sure how the flow rates need tomatch up. Sorry I could not give more help.

Its completely inert black coated sand. You could use it in a saltwater setup but it would not affect water chemistry in any way. I have only used it in freshwater setups personally.

I believe SP0714T will work in your sand filter. The critical dimension is the diameter of your tank opening. This valve works very well. You can always return it if it doesn't fit into your tank. Good Luck!

Not without some significant McGyvering. I would recommend you keep using the filters until a part fails or you see the salt water system or sand filter pump on sale somewhere. In the mean time, as long as you clean the pool before putting it away for the winter, the salt water system is much better than harmful chemicals...

Yes, your pump/cartridge filter will work with it. When you say plug in are you talking about ion unit? This thing works good with our saltwater. And sand filter system. You could get a sand filter for a good price right now. 18' round how many gallons? We had has to use filterpump bypass when ionizer went out. We had to replace pump 16x32 15,000 gallons. Sand pump 2450 gallons per hour. 218.00 sand last up to 5 year without changing it. Filters ok but saltwater/sand filter best.

yes this pump works great and has several times the water volume movement of the original pumps. Plus with the sand filter and salt water chlorinator built in you will not believe how clear the pool will be. I always thought ours was clear, until I saw it after changing to this filter/pump/chlorinator combo.

Probably not, simply because of the timer that controls both the saltwater system and the filter at the same time. Before getting this pool we had a separate salt system and used the sand filter, but since this came with the all-in-one system we decided to try it. We haven't had any problems with the cartridge filter and haven't had to change the cartridge all summer. It has been a lot easier than trying to use the two systems.

Yes, I have an OLD 1 HP pump and the filter still works 100 times better than my old sand filter.

Yes, you can use the Summer Escapes Skimmer Filter Pump Conversion Kit on Amazon to go in place of the pump at the bottom of the filter then purchase a sand filter and pump which connects to the conversion kit.

James, I have an Intex pool and used this pump, filter along with my regular pump, filter that came with my pool. I used PVC to create a intake and output to and from the pool. I have no prior PVC experience, and was able to get some pointers from my local Lowes store. I found it was very easy to assemble and my pool water looks great! I have also saved money on chemicals. As for attaching the pump to your side mount system, I think the suction would be too much and probably damage your pool.

Yes.If you research the manufacture there is some great info.Also if there is a lot of sand in the water it could affect the filters,you could look at installing sand filter

I have a 24' pool and this pump is amazing. I had a sand filter before this one and it definately didn't keep the pool as blue and sparkly as this. I don't think it would be too strong, definitely efficient for sure!

Yes, mine came with a salt water sand filter. This filter works great! We have no trouble keeping the water crystal clear! This is an excellent pool!

Mine came with the saltwater system with a pump and cartridge filter all in one unit. I don't want to use the cartridge filters as you have change them out quite often (at about $6 or $7 apiece) so I've opted to get the sand filter instead. 125 pounds of sand and you're good for five or six years. But since I couldn't figure out how to use my existing saltwater system with that filter since they both have pumps and I don't want them fighting one another I opted to get the sand filter with the saltwater system. It's about $300 but you'll get that money back in the end by not having to change cartridges all the time. Mine came with the saltwater system with a pump and cartridge filter all in one unit.
