I had an intex easy set pool 18 x 48. Want to upgrade to an 18 x 52 hard side pool. My question is: can I use the filter system that came with the intex which is 1500 gpm on the new hardside
pool. I also have the intex salt water system attached to the filter. Can I use them both on the new pool?

I had the Intex 2500 GPM sandfilter on my 18' X 48" Ultraframe and felt that it was undersized for that pool.

I recommend you invest in a larger filter and pump.

What size is the SWG? The 15K gallon unit is the smallest I would use.
 
Intex filters and pumps are ALWAYS undersized and inadequate. I would not use them.

Intex marketing plan is to sell you markedly inferior pumps and filters so you can buy larger ones (from intex) when you discover the problem.

I live much farther south than you, but we have had some hard freezes. I have left mine up over the past 3 winters with no problems. I do of course disconnect all hoses and drain below the skimmer before I cover it.

It's my opinion that they are more likely to receive damage from folding them up and storing them than they are from freezing.
