Do I have to have this product with the 16" 3000 gph sand filter and Intex saltwater system to go with my 18' x 48" Intex pool?

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

I have a 2150 GPH pump and it works great!...also..the user manual that comes with the saltwater system tells you how much salt to add based on the size of your pool. It shows specific amounts for Intex brand pools, as well as, if you are trying to use it on an non Intex pool. I highly recommend this system, as it keeps the water sparkly clean. I have a small pool and only had to add about 150 lbs of salt..and the salt is about $5 for 40 lbs at my local store. The salt system has a timer that will "chlorinate" your water for a up to 12 hours a day. you can set the time to run for 1 hour..all the way up to 12 hours. My small pool...i have the main filter pump running for 6 hours, and the salt system running for 2...and I have had zero problems with water quality..all I have done is add salt at start up. Word of warning: err to the low side when adding salt...as you can always add a lil more to get the concentration right...if you add to much salt, you may have to partial drain the pool and re-add fresh water to dilute the concentration if its too high. better to have low salt than too much salt. the salt will not evaporate..but the water will in the hot summer months...thus increasing the concentraion slightly. adding a little water from the hose will get the concentration back correct, due to the evaporated water from the sun...but only if you start out with the correct amount and don't totally over salt it. mine called for 160lbs...i added 140, for example...then added a few cups of salt to bring it up a little. the saltwater system has alarms to warn you of : low water flow, high salt, and low salt. You will like it! thumbs up from me :)

I actually have 18x48 intex pool and it works for me. It has 50' clearance from the ground. I use the ladder that comes with the pool on the other side in the water. So this ladder's top step sits on top of the support pieces of the intex ladder. This way 2' gap is closed and they both sit on the pool wall. I also bought the widest plastic zip ties from Home Depot and secured both ladders to each other and to the pool wall. I have been using it for two pool seasons and so far so good. Also, the lock that comes with the enclosure is crap and it rusts after a few weeks. I would recommend buying a stainless steel one from hardware store.

It came with a filter system, but I purchase a straight sand filter that was 1.5 horse power to keep it clean. I have hard water, but the sand filter works great for me. Otherwise the pool has been great so far.

Yes, mine came with a salt water sand filter. This filter works great! We have no trouble keeping the water crystal clear! This is an excellent pool!

It works for the Intex 12'x30", I assume they are similar. No, just ~42 Lb salt and type A filters.

The pump that came with our pool is a sand filter and yes, this will work with a salt system. I bought the Intex Salt System to go with it and so far, it's working great.

Yes, comes with the bigger diameter hoses and adapters, since it can be used with non Intex pools and some smaller Intex pools the hoses and adapters are provided to maintain the proper water flow, some bigger Intex pools will have the same hoses and adapters so you will have spare ones in that case, I use this item and the saltwater filter pump and it saves a lot of time, work, and expences on chemicals and such. I highly recommend this product. I had made comments prior to this one referencing the pressure of the actual pump that came with the set I had purchase which came with the pump and the chlorinator.

This Sand Filter is for an Above Ground Pool Only 18 Ft Diameter or Smaller

No, you can use any type of filter, but you must use a water pump rated at 700gph or greater. And yes, you must use some type of filter whether it's the intex paper filters or a sand filter. This saltwater chlorinator only chlorinates the water for you - no need with messing with chemicals!

The hose's won't fit. They are made for the newer INTEX pools. I had to cut and use special glue for the hose's to fit my older pool. Once that problem was solved; it's the best filter I have had. No issues and I have had very little maintenance issues with the pool. I keep the chlorine in the floating holder and run the filter for about 4 hours a day. The water is crystal clear. Of course I do vacuum about once a week.

I have a 16 x 48 pool and have ordered the 2500 gph krystal clear pump. Do I need these adapters?

My newer Intex pump is working better than the one that came with my 18x48 hardsided pool.As long as the fittings will match up, it is definitely worth a try..

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.

Mine came with the saltwater system with a pump and cartridge filter all in one unit. I don't want to use the cartridge filters as you have change them out quite often (at about $6 or $7 apiece) so I've opted to get the sand filter instead. 125 pounds of sand and you're good for five or six years. But since I couldn't figure out how to use my existing saltwater system with that filter since they both have pumps and I don't want them fighting one another I opted to get the sand filter with the saltwater system. It's about $300 but you'll get that money back in the end by not having to change cartridges all the time. Mine came with the saltwater system with a pump and cartridge filter all in one unit.

not sure. We ended up getting a larger one. This is a large pool and is much easier with sand filter and pump system.

I have used this sand filter on an eighteen foot by forty eight inch Intex pool for the last six years. You need to change the sand each spring.
