My intex salt water system crapped out, 3rd one now. Have a 18'X52" round, Will my pump/cartridge filter work with this and what is prob with plug in?

This doesn't connect to your pump or filter section. This hangs over the side of the pool. The instruction say to place in near the intake of the pool but I placed it close to where the water exits from the pimp and it works fine. Regarding the problem with the plug, I didn't have any issues with the plugs. The installation was quick and easy.

We hads one Intex Salt Water system that lasted two years and was more complicated to operate as if there was an electricity bread down, the system stopped and did not restart by itself. So, when we were away for a few days and that scenario happened, it was not very funny. We then bought Solaxx Retro Salt Chlorinator and it is so easy to install and to operate. I would recommend Solaxx Saltron Retro to everybody.

We have a 24" round pool and been using the saltron for three months. Worked great so far. You do have to make sure to clean off any buildup on the cell every few weeks. Should work fine with your pump and filter. same as ours.

I would recommend a better pool pump and sand filter. The system my not be moving the water around enough for the salt water system which will cause it to fail.

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 the system just hooks to the side of the pool. The issue with plugging it in is the control need to be raised for some reason and so many feet from the pool. I just mounted mine to a 4x4 post in the ground.

It depends upon the flow rate of the pump. This device requires a flow rate of 1,500-4,000 gph to work right. If the filter pump you use on your pool is in that range it will work. Then you may need to leave it on longer to get the required amount of Chlorine. To be certain you should check the manufacture specs of the Intex to be sure it will adequately chlorinate that much water.

I have a 12'x30" above ground Intex pool. It works great, HOWEVER, you must order the adapter from the Circulator website if you have this type of pool. I STRONGLY recommend contacting Wes through the Circulator website BEFORE purchasing any adapters as there are a couple of different ones. Explain to him what your filter parts look like (white/beige, white/blue, etc) and he will get you the exact part you need. Otherwise, works great!

Hey Tim my pool is 26x18 33,000 GL. The C1200 is overkill for my pool but that's not a bad thing. I went from an old Hayward S200 sand filter to the C1200. Right off the bat I could tell the motor wasn't straining to push the water through the cartridge verses the sand. I think bigger is better in this aspect. I would recommend this filter to anyone.

I don't rember,but the specs from mfg I believe say 1/4 in.---they are larger than that. I took filter--same size outlet as pump--to store and fit that to size needed.

I used a full 40lb bag of sand to fill the filter to the line in the tank, make sure you use the correct sand also bought at a pool supply, same with the salt, I used over 200 lbs for my 24' X 52" pool, the pump will tell you if the salt is strong enough, my sand filter came with a chart showing the amount needed for all of intex's pools..

I bought the sand filter and saltwater system together. You have to purchase your sand and salt seperately from a pool supply store. It comes with books for each component and a cover for the pool. Watch the DVD to get the general idea and search the books for specific answers. My pool was 18x52, but your filter will still need about 55lbs of sand since it should be about half full. The 48 pool will require about 200 lbs of salt. Buy some extra because you need to add more about once a week.

that should work really well. my pool (9x18) has a foot print of about 12x20 (that includes the pump/filter).

This link says the 108r takes an Intex type B. http://www.backyardocean.com/Filter-Pump-Compatibility-Chart-s/141.htm

The pump that comes with it is not very strong, we use an Intex 2500 gph pump and it works great with the saltwater system.

No you will not need this if you have the Intex pool. This item is for SE pools that have a skimmer hanging outside the pool. so dont buy this. I have a SE pro serise pool and bought a same filter system like yours to replace the cheapie pump that came with the pool and this is exactly what i need. Fyi this 16" pump takes 150lb of sand and just enough to filled to the right level hope this helps

It should fit just fine, as it attaches to the inlet fitting on the pool side, not to the pump directly. Your saltwater pump should do 1600gph, which is enough to power this vac. Make sure you are in pump mode (FP) and not salinating when using it.

You will not have to change your sand filter and pump because this will install after those items. As to whether this will be large enough to produce enough chlorine for your pool, I am not sure. I would suggest going to their website and checking on the recommended sizes. I can say that I have a 15x30 oval that is 52 inches deep and this unit is more than enough. I keep the settings on the lower end.

Filter that came with our 16x32 wasn't cutting it using either chlorine or non-chlorine products. Don't know anything about saltwater systems, but this pump and filter system works great and I'm back to using chlorine, water is picture perfect clear now.

It will according to the Intex paperwork that came with it. I have it on an 18' X 4' Round and it is almost too much pump for my pool. Compared to the paper filter that came with the pool this is a huge step up and no regrets. I was cleaning paper filters every day now I clean the sand filter once a month.

I have an Intex 20' round by 52" deep above ground pool and and the pump does not appear to be strong enough to make mine run either.

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.
