Absolutely. The issue is getting the two to turn on at the same time with the timer. My solution was to cut the GFCI's off and install my own plug, then plug those two into a Christmas light timer to come on for a few hours at dusk. I assume no risk for this suggestion! It should also be noted that they sell an 'all-in-one' sand pump and chlorinator unit.

Yes, I have this set-up and it works GREAT. My pool is only 16' round, 48'' high (approx. 5000 gal) though so I set the filter pump to run approx. 4 hrs. every night together with the saltwater chlorinator and I only had to shock the pool once or twice last summer, and that only because I did not run the filter for a few days. What a change from years past when it took so much work just to keep the water balanced.Setting your pump up with a saltwater chlorinator will give you a virtually MAINTENANCE-FREE pool all summer long. No more constantly adding chlorine or trying to keep your water balanced. You do it once, and then pretty much maintenance free all summer giving you time to really enjoy your pool.

Not sure about salt water system, but I do not think so. If chlorine gen is used, it must be placed after the heater. Don't know the water flow rate, but it works well even if the filter needs backwashing. I truly like this heater, much better than my previous heater without thermostat control. Very fast to reach desired temp, too.

Yes for the chlorinator to work all you have to do is add salt, however you still need to balance the Ph and Alkalinity

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.

Yes you can use filter-glass. There is confusion because INTEX warns against using synthetic sand, but that is not glass. INTEX recommends using filter-glass. We use it in our INTEX 1200 GPH SAND FILTER PUMP (with an Intex 54605EG Krystal Clear Saltwater System). Our 14' round INTEX pool (4000 gallons) has been crystal clear all summer. NOTE: We did not have to use the whole bag. There are min & max fill lines in your filter. Don't fill it to the max. Follow the instructions carefully. (You do not just dump it all in at once.) Backwash regularly & enjoy your beautiful pool!

Yes it does! I have an Intex AGP about 24' by 52" deep, its round. I have an intex sand filter and put on a Haywood thru sidewall skimmer. Bought them all from Amazon at different times. I just got the Kreepy Crawler last Friday and by Sat morning it picked up everything that I couldn't with the standard Intex pool vac. I will tell you without a doubt you need a strong sandfilter to get the job done. That thing was my saving grace this season. Look on troublefreepools.com for all the info you need for keeping your pool clean, I did and man what a great site. I would be glad to send you some pics of my setup so you can see what works for me, I will also send you some before and afters of the sand filter magic. Shoot me an email at jon.schall@gmail.com Happy to help.

I had a 15' intex pool. I didn't have a skimmer in the pool wall either. Yes, I unscrewed the intake cap (water going to the pump)and screwed on the adaptor and then attached the hose. But, I also had a 1 horsepower sand filter that really worked awesome, had great suction. I don't know how well this maintenance kit would work with the small filter pumps that come with the pool. I hope this helps. Good luck.

It should work ok for a 30G tank. I have it on a 27G tank. It's rather weak even with almost no media in the treys. If you have saltwater tank with corals that need some current, this is too week. I know it's rated for much larger tank, but it's grossly overrated. I just got this too:( I'm really regretting it. It's unfortunate, but a powerhead will be needed for me:(Just to be clear, even if you have a fresh water tank, you liken't can't get enough flow to filter the whole tank with this power. Go up a model or 2 and get more power. Other than the lack of power, I do like this unit. I just wish that they have marketed it with the right GPH, and that I have purchased a more powerful one.

I would DOUBLE, TRIPLE check this..... when I review the product spec's it says nothing about saltwater system with pump. If I did not already own one of these pools I'd be so confused. Basically if you want a salt water pool you either need to purchase a pool that INCLUDES an 2in1 pump with saltwater system OR-you purchase a pool that comes with a standard issue pump and then additional & separate purchase of a saltwater system and connect it with your pool pump. We started off using a standard pump and buying pool chemicals (chlorine tablets/shock) then decided to try out saltwater and LOVED IT, less hassle less cost!!!! Only down side is that 5 years down the road the metal supports started to rust.

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.

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.

It can be used in conjunction with an intex filter pump, but that that particular model of salt water module has had a lot of problems. Make sure that you are getting the revised and updated version of that that system.

Yes it did but only lasted for a year...my pool guys said that Pentair is certainly not the best salt chlorinator on the market...I ended up scrapping it and putting in an autopilot...significantly better system but almost all salt chlorinators are not inexpensive.

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.

I've also purchased this pump for our inflatable pool (without ports). Two questions - (1) Did you still connect the Pool inlet nozzle and the strainer grid to the ends of the hoses, and if so what did you use to pad the hoses with to make it a tight connection? The hoses are meant to fit onto the ports and not directly to these pieces so there is a size difference. And (2) - did you use something to weight the ends down that go into the pool? Or does the weight of the water inside them hold them under the surface. Thanks in advance! We're hoping that this will work to clean the water so that we don't have to empty and refill the pool every week during the summer. We are also using the chlorine granules (1/2 oz) to chlorinate the water.
