Simply hook the Intex saltwater generator into the pool's water flow as directed, add the specified amount of salt, and the Chlorine Generator will do the rest. The pool's water is converted to an effective algaecide - and since salt doesn't evaporate or dissipate as chlorine does, the constant addition of chlorine chemicals is a thing of the past.

Intex Saltwater Chlorine System
By S. Campbell
Love this system. Saves lots of money otherwise spent on poisonous chemicals. Things I learned the hard way. 1)For low flow: check the little plastic circle net inside the intake tube. Clean every other day or so for best results. 2) For low salt when you know there is plenty: calcium build up on the titanium plates, blueish white. Rinse with high pressure hose (use your thumb)once a week. I didnt figure that out until a few months had passed and had to soak in vinegar to get clean. But once I figured out the minimal routine maintenance needed the unit has been running great. NOTE do not hose bugs off the bottom of the whole system as the water gets into the cooling fan and soaks the circut board and lights. Very very bad.

By Mariposa
I have a 15'x 4' Intex Metal Frame pool with the 1000gph filter. We bought the Saltwater Chlorinator because I didn't want to deal with all the chemicals with a regular pool. It was overwhelming to see all the things you had to buy and I didn't want to have to overthink my pool.We have been using this for over a month and it is wonderful. I used the chart to put in the proper amount of salt, added the salt to fresh water and let it dissolve completely overnight. We got in the next day and played in the water for a bit to make sure it was well dissolved and mixed around and it was. We used Mortons Pool Salt which we found at our local home improvement store. I put in about 100lbs of salt. Ran it for the first time with no issues. Set up was easy once we read the instructions.I have had no problems with error lights or anything. One time I had the low flow light, but I checked my filter and it was really dirty, cleaned it and it was off and running again. I look forward to my 93 reading every morning. I have my pump on a timer and the chlorinator comes on in the middle of the 6 hour pump cycle I run.The only chemicals I have had to add was cyuranic acid when I first started since we live where it is HOT and SUNNY. My chlorine was disappearing within a few hours when it was 110 degrees outside. Now it stays in a safe level until the next day. I usually run it for 3 hours a day. Haven't noticed a difference in my electric bill of any consequence. I also have to add acid when my pH is off. I check the chlorine and pH every morning when I go out to skim the pool. I have yet to shock the pool, crystal clear water, so haven't seen the need.My kids love the salt water. The little one swims with her eyes open and they don't get red or irritated like they do at regular pools. I can taste the salt a bit in the water, but I don't mind. I am an ocean girl at heart and it isn't near the saltiness of the ocean.I am very happy with my purchase. I hope to get at least 2 seasons out of this, we will see how it goes as time goes by and I will update if things change from how they are now.

This is summer number three with the unit
By K. Barrett
Purchased the unit three years ago. When code "91" first appeared (Low salt, low flow problem), I checked the filter. Because the filter was clean, I added more salt. Still had code 91, so I added more salt. I refused to add anymore salt, so I checked the plates inside the unit. The plates were covered with the white calcium that is the byproduct of this saltwater system. Once the plates were cleaned, I received the error message that the salt content was too high. :( I learned that when there is a error of 91, you need to clean the plates. Using the system four hours a night, the plates needed to be cleaned once every two weeks. The longer you have it run the more often you must clean the plates.Cleaning the plates is not very easy. I have tried a spray nozzle from the garden hose, and a long plastic zip tie to push the calcium loose. They do an OK job, but it takes 10 minutes. I then purchased a power washer for jobs around the house. Well, the power washer cleans the plates in about 5-7 seconds. If you don't have a power washer, I don't know if you want to spend several hundred dollars on one just to clean this thing.As someone else did mention, check the screen at the entrance. If anything gets past your filter, it will stop here and reduce the water flow.When there is a problem, and the unit is unable to generate clorene, then it shows the error code and beeps for hours upon hours. This is good, so you know when you must take action to ensure that your pool stays clean, but when it goes off at 3AM, someone has to get out of bed, go outside, and turn it off.If/when my unit breaks, I will consider purchasing another one. I do wish the plates didn't have to be cleaned to often.
