Yes it comes with the pump and filter. I use the small tablet chlorine. You can put it in a chlorine floater. Takes about 7 small tablets about every 4 or 5 days.

We use chlorine tabs, sold at Wal-mart or Target. Not sure the brand name. We have no pump, but we empty it every 3-4 weeks.

The pool comes with fresh water sand filter. Chlorine would have to added to keep clean of algae. No salt added to this filter.Or buy an extra saltwater filter that connects to freshwater system that comes with pool. We like that very much! No chlorine needed. Keeps water crystal clear. Saltwater filter converts salt to chlorine. Salt stays in pool. Saltwater filter took about a month to come from place ordered. We had to shock pool until filter got here.

Yes it comes with the required filter...so it's ready to use. Some would recommend buying a 2nd filter at a pool supply so while one is being soaked and cleaned in detergent, you have a second filter to keep the pump running. It's nice to have a back up.

The bare minimum you would need with ordering this is a tub/basin, salt (table salt is fine), and water. That's it! If you want to keep things cleaner I recommend a liner (a small trash bag works fine).As for clean up, baking powder or bleach.

I recommend the 2500 GPH pump and the salt water chlorinator.. You use very little, if any chemicals.

i have an 9x18 pool and i buy my chlorine by the bucket and use a 1 cup measuring cup to put the powder in the skimmer. Running it through the the sand filter.

My opinion is just 1, just make sure there are tablets in it. You should still shock the pool when needed using chlorine based shock.

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

a pump/filter and a floater with chlorine are a must and is really all you need to keep it clean. a net helps for keeping out the larger debris that gets in the pool. :)

Remove the paper filter cartridge and the micron sock from the junk pump that came with your pool. Hook it up to the skimmer and hook up a waste hose to it and use it as a vacuum. Works great and you don't have to use your combo that your gonna buy.

The filters are water filters that sits on the top of the re-usable basket and are supposed to filter out the Chlorine. From the description of the SJX it sounds like it already has a water filtration system built in so the water filters, although they will probably work, would be superfluous.

It's fine for any consumer size pool, just read the proper rate (number of tablets) for your size pool on the chlorine tablets you buy. But only use the Slow Release tablets (typically 1 inch or 3 inch tablets, not powder or 3/4 tabs).

This is a great pump and filter. You can use either A or C filter cartridge. You can get filters at Ocean State Job Lot for 2 bucks each. Hose diameter is 2". It is larger than the summer escape fitting I think. One can get adapter at a pool store. I did.

Yes, Pump and filter is included. Must purchase extra filters and chlorine separately.

Yes, everything you need is in the box. Just place it in the pool and plug it in, assuming the filter and filter basket is in place.

I have no idea. It's basically the same chlorine, &ct. you put in pools mixed with a little Oxyclean. I find the tablets rather expensive, so I now go out and get bromine tablets from the pool supply people at 10th the price and have almost no odor and work just as well. I believe that the contents of either tablet simply dissipate into the atmosphere, the same way that chemicals in a swimming pool would, for good or bad...your decision. However the two tablets you put into the dispenser lasts me about 3 months and weighs about 2 ounces. Don't believe that has any serious consequences, but that's up to you. I would use far more than that in household cleaners over that same period.
