I just received these tablets. Are they ok to use for the Intex easy set pools? Also do I need the chemical dispenser to use them?

I have a Intex easy set and i use these. I have one of the floating tablet dispensers.

Yes-I used them in our inter pool last summer but it worked best with a floating dispenser.

I used one in my 10x30 pool last year and it worked pretty well. I wouldn't recommend using it without one of those chlorine floaters, though. The tablet takes a few days to dissolve and is concentrated enough that you probably don't want the bare tablet touching the liner of your pool or the swimmers.

Yes, comes with the bigger diameter hoses and adapters, since it can be used with non Intex pools and some smaller Intex pools the hoses and adapters are provided to maintain the proper water flow, some bigger Intex pools will have the same hoses and adapters so you will have spare ones in that case, I use this item and the saltwater filter pump and it saves a lot of time, work, and expences on chemicals and such. I highly recommend this product. I had made comments prior to this one referencing the pressure of the actual pump that came with the set I had purchase which came with the pump and the chlorinator.

None. Save yourself money( a lot ) and find a generic one inch chlorinating tablets . I didn't feel that this system was worth the money. Adding fresh water more frequently is a very cheap way to keep water ph and balance correct.

I LOVE mine for my Intex. It's way more than you need which means the pool is effortlessly sparkling. Super easy to set up and maintain. I hardly use and chemicals.

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!

yes you can. i had an intex salt system. i replaced the salt generator 3 times. 1 time under warranty and 2 on my own dime. this system is junk. i would recommend something besides intex. the swg leaked each time and never worked right to begin with. also the pump does not push the water very good.

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.

We have an inline chlorine dispenser.. We used to put them in the skimmer baskets but a pool repair person told us not to do that as it can damage the skimmers.

There is no need to add chemicals to the pool. I have the Intex 14x42 pool and I run the pump for 5 hours per day. Make sure to use the test strips and make sure everything is in balance. Also if you have well water like me, the minerals will build up quickly requiring you to clean the pump every 3-4 days. If the minerals build up too much the low salt alarm will go off but do not add more salt.

It depends on your climate, and water chemistry. I live in a fairly warm area (95-100 most of the summer), and I keep the pool up from May through September. I generally add about a cup of ph increaser each week, about 2oz algaecide each week, and about a gallon of chlorine each month (as needed), in addition to a floating chlorine tablet dispenser to which I add about two 3" tablets every ten days or so. I vacuum the bottom of the pool about every two weeks, and I clean/change the filter at the same time. You might not have to vacuum as often, it depends on how much stuff gets tracked in on little feet. ;) Finally, I run the filter for four hours a day. However, I upgraded to a higher volume pump with larger hoses. If you use the pump and filter setup that comes with the pool, I'd recommend running it six hours every day. I've been using Intex EZ set pools for eight years (I use each one for two years, then give it to a friend who gets at least another year out of it). This oval frame pool is definitely the best one yet, and when it wears out, I'll likely get another one just like it. I spend about 20 minutes a week on maintenance, and the rest is pure enjoyment! I hope this is helpful. :)

These tabs should work as a salt-water pool generates chlorine by breaking down sodium chloride into chlorine. You still need to measure PH, Alkalinity, etc. so I don't see why these would not do just fine.

They have to be placed in a separate floater, can't be placed in with a chlorine tablet. You can also put these in the skimmer.

I'm not sure about your specific pool, but I have an Intex 18' Easy Set pool, and I was able to cobble up something by taking a trip to the plumbing section of my local hardware store. Cost about $15 in fitting for me, but it works like a charm and since it is below the water, no one notices it. The fountain is great. Really adds a nice feature, for a low cost.

I had my first one for three summers. My daughter dropped it while putting pool away last year. Loved it so much bought another. It will work wonderful for your pool. I called intex and they told me how much salt the first year. Last year just asked my pool supply store. (I have a 52inch deep 10x20foot.) I believe i used 60lbs.. But I'll just ask my pool store again. I bought water softener salt. Worked just fine. . No need for chlorine tablets this generates all the chlorine you need.

I dont believe the number of tablet matter because the flow setting controls the amount distributed. I have a 22 000 gallon pool and I set mine at 2 and adjust accordingly with weather changes, such as excessive rain. Just take readings with the test strips daily and you'll find the number that works best for your pool :-)

A chlorinator works by virtue of the chemistry between electrolysis, salt and water, it is has nothing to do with the pool brand. The only consideration is the type of connections. Intex tends to use its own fittings but it is not difficult to convert the inlet and outlet to match any plumbing combination. Youtube has every imaginable instruction guide to accomplish this.

float these tabs separately from chlorine is what I was told.The soda tablets dissolve quicker than the chlorine ones.Just want to add that they work perfectly. The easiest summer I've hadwith maintenance.
