is it a saltwater pool or a san filtered pool

The previous post is correct in that it only comes with the sand filter. I found the saltwater kit accessory at WalMart in January and paid only $50. If you can hold out, offseason is a great time to buy.

It does not say it comes with a salt water generator. You use a sand filter and you add the salt water generator, some come with it.

It only comes with the sand filter system. Last year, the listing said it had both sand and saltwater chlorinatir, however it was a misprint that looks to have been corrected. I have the pool, and the saltwater system. It all works great together. I also purchased the Rover Jr which has been a lifesaver for the small particles that fall to the bottom. Also bought the skimmer basket but beware, if you have a tree with pine needles as we do, the pump impeller clogs up quickly and has to be completely disassembled to clean out. I bought a pack of skimmer socks tgat cured this and now everything is great. We love it after a year. It only comes with the sand filter system.

I bought a sand filter and a salt water system seperately. If I did it again, I would buy the package deal, where they come together. It wan't a big deal to hook them up though. I've done it the other way with chlorine and filters. This beats it, hands down. Once you have put the sand in the sand filter pump and the salt in the pool, this is so low maintanence. I love it! I also got a sifter that hooks up to the intake and gets all of the leaves and bugs before they go to the bottom of the pool. It makes for much less vacuuming. I would recommend the salt water system and sand filter pump to anyone. Plus, it's so nice to not have that chlorine smell or taste or burning of the eyes.

it is a sand filter pool BUT I feel it is worth the investment to buy the salt water chlorine generator. I put it in line with the sand filter and I had a clear pool all summer. All I had to do was vacuum it and test the water to see if I had to run the chlorinator longer that night or not.

My pool builder installed this for my salt water pool. We haven't had any issues and there isn't any indication that it is filtering out the salt. From the manufacturers FAQ "Nature2 can be used with every type of chemical treatment program available except biguanide products and copper-based algaecides."

Works great in chlorine pool, not sure about salt water, when actually working.

My pool is the same size and I have used this filter for three years. Check to make sure you are using a pump that is the right size for your pool. Pumps that use size A will not be able to properly clean and filter your water. I have a salt water system and love 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!

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.

I don't know that it matters. I didn't order this system but it was shipped to me by error. I had gotten the system that is both in one unit. I did go look at it and it is set up so that water runs through the saltwater unit before it goes into the sand filter. Hope that helps.

sand filter pump is not necessary, I used the pump that came with the pool and bought the salt water system separately.

Just salt from the pool supply store and lots of it. You add it at the beginning of the summer and that's it for the season. Amt, type and filter operation is in the instruction manual. You also need to buy 50lbs of filter sand for the filter.

It does not have a filter but you should clean the tube housing the copper filter with vinegar every so often. You should have gotten two end caps with the system....close the pool valves, remove the hoses to and from the saltwater pump and put the white end caps where the hoses were connected. Then unscrew the top copper unit, pour the vinegar in so it fills the whole tube and let it sit for about 20 mins. Then take off the end caps, rinse easy with your hose and then screw the hoses back on. Pull up the valves and you are good to go....run the filter and saltwater pump again as normal. You can always look up on youtube for the video on how to do it. Hope this helped :) It does not have a filter but you should clean the tube housing the copper filter with vinegar every so often.

Hi Ruth. The pool is big, but not big enough for a filter. You may want to call customer service for that question. Good luck. The Maj

I don't remember it Saint pump only when we bought ours, but ours was the pump, strainer, sand filter, and salt water system. We absolutely love it. We treat the water after heavy reasons or once on the weekends and rarely have to add anything.

I have had various types of filters and have found that a DE filter is better than either a sand or cartridge filter system. Of course, the decision on which sytem to use should take into consideration the size of the pool in question.

I do not have a salt water pool but I can tell you that I've purchased the Mirra not once, but twice and am deeply disappointed with the machine. It simply doesn't last.

Mine is not a salt water pool. It is fresh water. I use chlorine on a regular basis. I went to my local Leslies pool supply when I filled it the first time. They test your water for free as often as you need. They told me what chemicals to add at the beginning and use chlorine since then. I love, love, love my pool.

I do not know. My pool is not a salt water pool. The item in question is very nice and worked well.

The size of your pool should be fine. As far as the saltwater goes, I'm not sure since my pool is freshwater. I would check the manufacture specs. or call the manufacturer directly.
