It includes base for pump and sand filter. Pump with strainer and GFI built into plug. The plastic sand Canister. Valve for the top of the sand canister. A tube inside the sand canister with laterals attached to it. A screw on plug for the port on the valve on top of the sand canister. One short hose with threaded female connectors it is 1 1/2" diameter to connect the sand filter to the pump. Two longer 1 1/2" diameter hoses with threaded female connectors that will attach to your existing strainers or plungers on your pool. A bunch of cardboard packing and a box that says Empty box on it and should contain the following but IT DOES NOT INCLUDE:two plunger valves fittings and two adaptors B to fit smaller size pools with 32mm (1.25in) diameter hose fittings. This should be removed from the listing. You can not connect this to your pool without purchasing additional fittings unless you have the 1 1/2" threaded male connectors on your pool.

When we purchased the pool it came with its stock filter pump. As an extra we purchased the stand alone saltwater system and connected the two in series. I would assume a combo pump/saltwater system is all you'd need to do the job, assuming the pump has some form of filtering system built into it. You should make sure the pump in the combo system is at least as powerful as the standard pump that comes with the 18' x 48" pool, as water flow strength is critically important for the saltwater system to operate (a water flow that's too weak will shut down the saltwater system and post an alarm). An Intex representative should be able to answer that question for you. When we purchased the pool it came with its stock filter pump.

You can use the pump and filter that comes with the salt water system. Or, if you wish, you can add the sand filter to the salt water system; however, that requires some familiarity with simple plumbing to do properly. As for how much sand is necessary for leveling the pool..that is a difficult question to answer since I don't know the grade of your yard. You have to use a transit level across the diameter of the pool to determine the grade first...then, you can estimate the amount of sand needed. If your area is already level, then no sand is necessary. Be aware that leveling the area using sand is not recommended. You can use the pump and filter that comes with the salt water system.

this pool comes with a sand filter pump,but you do need to order the "Intex Krystal clear Saltwater system" we set ours up last week and it works great, 3 40lbs bags to begin with but buy them at at a Ace hardware or Walmart so bags dont rip open

Yes, But it is not needed if you are running the saltwater system. You may need to run it a few more hours. You can also buy the little bags of shock and shock the pool every week or or when ever you have a lot of people in the pool. I myself run my saltwater system at least 12 hours and I keep the pump running 24-7. I add 1 bag of salt at the end of the year. Keeping the pool moving at all time keeps it clear plus cleaning the filter on a regular basis (about every 3-4 days).

No it is merely the pump. You will neewd to purchase the tubes and bubble stones separately (probably for that reason you local store is the best choice)

It does not say it comes with a salt water generator. You use a sand filter and you add the salt water generator, some come with it.

maybe when they packed it, they forgot to include the pump. When I order mine, it came with the pump. Hope this helps...

We bought this pool 4 weeks ago, and it came with a pump, saltwater system, and a sand filter. So far, the system has been working flawlessly. It also came with the manual vacuum that worked ok, but we replaced it with automatic one.

This is not a pump at all. It is a system that converts your salt water into chlorine and the pump must be bought separately.

The pumps are not included and the hose it comes with was of poor quality, the unit itself has been excellent and worked very well. A hose replacement was available at the local hardware store for about 20.00.

No you only need to buy the housing. That is the black casing connected to the pump.

Lyndie - I am not sure what size pump comes with that pool but I have larger Intex pool and I needed to buy a more powerful filter. I bought a sand filter from Amazon. I believe you can buy the saltwater system and the filter together. I didn't because I had already bought the salt water system from Walmart.

You shouldn't need a pump. It has a few rings and you blow up the same as a beach ball (only more air) the kids and I blow it up again and again and has held up pretty good. (We have four kids)
