When you are opening the pool each year or for the 1st time, you hook up the filter pump and than the Salt System before you start filtering the salt... Eventhough you filter the freshly added Salt into the pool for the 1st 24hrs, it can run through the salt system, just don't turn it on like you mentioned... The trick is once you start running the salt system is to get the chlorine levels up as quick as you can... I have not mastered this yet after 3 years but I will consult my Local Pool Chemical Supplier next year before opening the pool... So I think you should do the same...
this heater comes prewired for 110v plug in. there should be no electrical hook up to be done.
as for the plumbing, the heater should be plumbed in after the filter and before the chlorine generator (if equiped). water out from filter to water in on heater, water out from heater to check valve to pool
this question has come up before too me , what i respond with is it to be perminate or temporary ? , the reason i ask if its to be perminate then i suggest purchasing the correct filter for the pool, but on temporary situation (to just finish out season) then yes even though the pipe sizes are different , the use of std plumbing home DWV rubber soft connections available at any good hardware/homecenter would work , but heres the temporary part of it , saltwater pool water degrades the rubber making it brittle , but will last a month or so
Yes you can. The saltwater chlorinator is connect to the outlet water pipe from the sand filter before the water returns to the pool. Depending upon the model of the saltwater chlorinator It may need to be mounted horizontally or vertically, check with the installation instructions..
You will need to clean the pool completly now. I am not a great typist so I will copy and paste my solution that I typed out and helped someone else
So many peolpe are led to believe that using a salt system takes away the need of other chemicals This couldn't be further from the truth A salt system just makes it so that you do not have to physicaly ad liquid chlorine or float tablets
First of all lets get a little educated in pool maintainence 101 and then I will address your problem ( First problem was buying an Intex product ) but I will cover that too
You can not just blindly ad salt to the system you need to get a salt test kit that reads in #'s not color You need to get the water to as close to 3000ppm as possible Any lower than 2700ppm and you can trigger low salt alarm, not to mention not generating enough chlorine Any higher than 3500 and you can go cloudy, trigger high salt alarm and you could go cloudy
Now for the intex curse not a single pump/filter is sufficient with the pools they come with They are to small A pool needs to be turned over at least 3-4 times in a cycle 24 hours I do not know your gl or pump size so I will use generic #'s
If you have a 5000gl pool and a 1500gl pump thats 10 1/2 hours of filtering at the minimum Use your #'s and figure out what you need to be doing
You want to start by getting your salt right this is crucial What it says in the manuals is just a starting point the fine tuning is up to you
Lets now side track and I will tell you how to cure your problem. This is time consuming but will give you the best results
Blast out your paper cartridge with the water hose now ad 1 gallon ofliquid chlorine Filter only for 24 hours now brush your pool with a pool brush not the bristles under your vaccum not enough of them to do any good now clean the filter again and run for a few hours until you see things settle down Vaccum and clean the filter and start over again Check your chlorine if it is normal or low ad another 1/2 if it is super high then leave the chlorine step out Once you are clear again or close to it Ad a non foaming algecide and also ad chlorine stabilizer this is a chemical that you put in a nylon sock and float it behind the ladder this will help hold the chlorine
Once your chlorine level is at the point you can swimm again you should get your best swimmer to get in with a tooth brush and clean the over flaps in the seems that are on the bottom and where the sides connect to the floor
This should do it
lets look at one more thing Chlorine generation There may be night that you need to run it 12 hours for chlorine and other nights 5 or so It all depends on many factors sun,heat,number of swimmers, sun tan oil and so on The biggest thing you can do wrong is to not use the pool If it is not being used every day you should brush sides and floor every 3 days or so. The pump is not strong enough to circulate the water properly
One more thing that I do and I have not changed my filters in this being my 3rd season I have 2 one is always drying Start with a dry filter and have the other clean and drying Change them every couple of days. Never try to use a wet filter it does not work like a dry one Dont ask why it is just one of those mysteries Also periodicaly take the hose off the front of the motor your inlet hose this can build up hair and debris that gets in from skimming
As for the return, approval takes about 24 hours after them receiving the fax. Then usually just a few days depending how far you are from them unless they are really out of stock Good Luck
IF YOUR CHLORINATOR IS DIRTY IT WILL GIVE YOU THIS READING. USE HOUSEHOLD VINEGAR TO CLEAN THE CHLORINATOR PLUG 1 END AND FILL ABOVE THE PLATES AND THE COPPER IONIZATION ELEMENT. LET SOAK I HOUR AND BACKFLUSH WITH POOL WATER . HOOK IT BACK IN THE SYSTEM AND THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IF NOT CHECK THE POOLS SALT CONTENT. IT SHOULD BE .003 PPM. IF NOT ADD SALT ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL ON YOUR SIZE POOL.
If you look at the chlorinator you'll see an arrow pointing in the direction of the flow. Basically the water coming out of the pool should be going through the filter tower first and then through the chlorinator and ultimately back into the pool.
Your system has a suction side and a discharge side. Skimmer and bottom drain hook to the suction side. Returns (discharge) return via chlorinator or other sanitary system and heater if appropriate, to ports in the side of the pool.
