    Great comparison/information! Im sure she wont mind (or know the difference) lol. 4 years is pretty good! Hoping it lasts longer, but that seems to be the "general" life span; sw or non sw.

    Intex 26679EG Sand Filter Pump and Saltwater System

    Both assumptions are correct. I purchased the new pump during the winter; i have not opened the pool back up yet (but will in the next few weeks).

    Intex 26679EG Sand Filter Pump and Saltwater System

    Thank you for the great knowledge! it really sounds like from your explanantion that a "poorly balanced" pool is moreso the cause of rust. So its imperative that levels are balanced. Unfortunately i cannot return the sand filter/pump; i purchased it slightly used for less then $75... i could...

    Intex Strainer/Inlet

    Hi all! New here and eager to learn! I have a prism 15’x48 inch pool that I put up last year. I purchased a 2150gph intex sand filter (with the saltwater system) over the winter. The new pump uses 1.5” hoses. I have no problem cutting the liner for the 1.5in fittings. I have a few questions...
