Help again ~ Here is an update to the last information on 6-24-16: (Note: we have very warm/hot days for quite some time now so I know cold or cool weather is not an issue. Regardless, we had some cooler summer days previous years and I never had the issues like this year - ever. In fact, my...

Thank you. That could be the issue this year which is very odd but I never ran into that problem - ever - with my previous Intex salt generator and with this new Intex Salt generator/pump combo it also worked great before this year. This is the first year this issue began. We even had a milder...

Help ~ I have been a long time user of Intex pools and the Intex salt water generator. I never had any issues. I keep a log of all the amounts of salt I put in each year, and when. In 2014 I upgraded (what I thought) to the Intex CS15110 Sand filter and salt generator combo unit because I like...

Please let me know what happened. Did you get it to work properly and generate chlorine. Thank you.

Re: Intex 1600 GPH Sand Filter & Saltwater System- Winter storage, Mold, Sand, Bad Sm Hi ~ I don't use pool store products, just salt for the salt water generator. I have been doing the same process for years successfully. Just last year was the first time with the sand filter pump instead of...

Re: Intex 1600 GPH Sand Filter & Saltwater System- Winter storage, Mold, Sand, Bad Sm Thank you for that link. That was helpful and will remember that for next year. But I am still concerned why there was clumps of black stuff in the sand, not like normal looking debre that the video showed in...

Re: Intex 1600 GPH Sand Filter & Saltwater System- Winter storage, Mold, Sand, Bad Sm If I put in some bleach in the sand and then store it, would the bleach damage the salt water generator when I hook it up next year? If anyone has this answer that would be great.

Re: Intex 1600 GPH Sand Filter & Saltwater System- Winter storage, Mold, Sand, Bad Sm Hi ~ I think maybe it helped that you let it dry out for a while. I didn't do that last fall. Maybe that is the issue. But, like someone before said, maybe it is better just to throw out the old sand at...

Intex 1600 GPH Sand Filter & Saltwater System- Winter storage, Mold, Sand, Bad Smell? I have used an Intex salt water system for many many years with great results each year. I used to use a filter pump before. Last year I began using the Intex sand filter for the first time. Because I live in...

Intex 18' x 52" Ultra Frame Pool w/ Sand Pump & SWG closing/storage in Massachusetts Hi ~ I live in Western Massachusetts. How about storing the emptied pool in a unheated shed vs an unheated attached garage? Is a shed enough to protect it against the freezing temps? And, this is my first time...

I really do appreciate all your helpful advice and I will buy stabilizer. I guess I just thought if the chlorine levels were within range during pool use during the day then that is fine. I am not disputing what you wrote and I do think you definitely know much about this. But I am questioning...

Here is an update on my salt water intex pool: The pool water has "stabilized". I ran the salt generator pump for 3 hours two nights in a row. I am not sure if that really did the trick, because I always have been running it for 2 hours and that is adequate for my size pool. I agree that the...

I appreciate your great advice! So to make sure that I get this straight... running the SWG longer will not make a difference? I have not tested the pool today because it has been raining cats & dogs all day. Last night I ran the SWG for 3 hours for the first time so I am curious if it will...

Thank you both! I will get the better test strips at Walmart (I hope they still have them), and also the Stabilizer. Would anyone know how much stabilizer to buy, how much to put in a pool this size and how often do I add it? Also, how would I add it - just drop it in the center of the pool and...

Hi there, We have been using this new pool for about a month now. As indicated in my subject heading, we have the Intex Salt Water Generator for our "small" pool. I only use pool test strips to use to monitor the water. All I have added was the salt initially and nothing else (because after all...
