  • So far so good on a non Intex pool
Style: Saltwater System Size: For Pools up to 15,000 Gallons
The media could not be loaded. ***original review from April 2018*** I had the last generation salt system on my pool and got a season out of it before it stopped working. Intex sent me a new one but I bought this one because I couldn't wait two weeks for it to arrive. When this one dies I have a backup while i'm waiting for a replacement. I bought this well aware I will be getting 1-2 seasons max out of this. I have an 18' round steel above ground pool and this works great. I keep it on three hours a day and have no issues getting sufficient chlorine in my pool. It's been running for about 45 days so far and no issues. It has a three year warranty and their customer service is good overall. Replacements take a couple weeks to arrive so keep it in mind when your unit craps out. Even thought the life span is so short I still think it's worth not having to deal with chlorine in my pool. No smelly skin, no chemical balancing issues, no green pool. Saltwater is the BEST. If you are like me and installing this on a regular non intex pool they make this adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012BUM5V8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This way you dont need to make something from PVC. One end screws onto the salt system and your pool hoses slide over the other end and get clamped down. No leaks at all. I'm going to update this review at the end of this season or if the unit dies before then. **October 2018 Update** I just closed my pool down yesterday. As I was closing it down I thought I would record a video with my opinions. Feel free to watch it or just read below. The generator functioned as intended the entire season. It kept my 18" above ground non Intex pool crystal clear all year. The only thing I added to my pool was to bring the hardness level up a bit and added a bit of salt when I had to drain the pool because of the rain. Besides that I put nothing else in my pool from April to October. It ran for four hours a day and kept everything beautiful. I'm hoping I get a lot more use from it next year when it's opened again but we shall see. For $129 will keep buying these even if they only last a year, because it saves from having to buy chlorine and the frustration of having to add it and keep everything balanced. Highly recommended for an above ground pool Intex or not. **update April 2019** Opened my pool April 2019. Plugged this in and it fired right up. I installed a new liner so I filled with fresh water, put in the salt to about 2,800 and balanced the water. So far the generator fired right back up and is sanitizing my water. I will update the review again if the unit dies or makes it this year*** ... show more

  • Great when you do your research, Low Chlorine 91 Error
Style: Saltwater System Size: For Pools up to 15,000 Gallons
Okay so I was like a lot of people, regretting my purchase for this saltwater generator. I kept getting the code 91 Low Salt error like most people, however my Salt was at the perfect level. I was frustrated but then did a LOT of research on different things. I figured out that when water is cold it is not as conductive and the saltwater generator does not read the salt content accurately. I live in the midwest it takes a while for the water to heat up, but you cant wait till last minute otherwise you are dealing with a green pool. Today I checked the water temp and it was slightly above 50 and I flipped on the Generator and it is working great. All other days and weeks I fought with this generator the water was never above 50 it always ranged between 40-50. If you have a lot of issues with this error, and nothing else works and you have cold water, get a temp gauge and wait till the water is about 50 to start it up. Lastly, I seen a lot of people saying that there is a 30 day warranty. This is only if you return via amazon. If you go to intex website and contact them, the warranty of the salwater system is covered for parts and manufacturer defects for 2 years from the date of purchase, as long as you have the receipt which you should from amazon. I hope this helps others that have had the same issue I have had. ... show more

  • DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Six months! That is how long this will last you. No matter what you do.
Style: Saltwater System Size: For Pools up to 7,000 Gallons
I am so done with this system. I was tired of always having to deal with the chlorine in the Florida sun. I would have to pretty much shock my pool nearly every day and the water would still turn green. I finally decided to install the saltwater system and I was delighted with the clear and beautiful water! I maintained the salt level at about 3200 (which was the recommended amount) and after about 5-6 months, my unit started giving a low-salt error code. I then upped the salt level to 3400 (which was still in the correct operating range). Still read low salt. Note: the system WILL NOT generate chlorine while there is an error code. I googled it and figured how to remove and clean everything. When I took the unit apart, I discovered that the salt was caked everywhere. Cleaned it up, still didn't work. I bought another one. The same thing happened. Then, after some serious research, I discovered that the recommended salt levels are really high and that the unit often reads low salt when it is actually high! So, you think it's low and add more until it damages everything! I emptied my pool, bought a new unit and maintained the salt at about 2700. Again, beautiful water for barely six months. Then, bam! Low salt error code again. I took everything apart. No corrosion, no salt build-up. Cleaned everything, still doesn't work. At this point, I have to assume that these units only last for six months, regardless of how well you care for them. It's time for me to decide if I should buy another type of saltwater system or spend $120 every six months. BTW, the first unit was about $89. The price is going up!!!! UPDATE 11/24/2020: The unit I purchased in April of this year is now doing the exact same thing. They all supposedly had two-year warranties. This would have meant that the last three units I purchased would still be under warranty. I started trying to communicate with intex in April. I was unable to reach someone by phone and ended up speaking with someone through their messaging system. It took days or even weeks for them to respond. Finally, after I provided all the information they requested (model numbers, purchase info, etc), they responded saying that I had to call them. I spent months trying to get someone on the phone. Literally holding for hours and then being disconnected. I finally got through to them today. They said that the warranty is only 1 year for the plates that I need. Also, they will not honor the warranty for any of the units, except the last one I purchased. Even the one before that, which was only six months old when I first contacted them. They claim that I never spoke to them by phone, so it's my problem. I have all of the messages going back to April, showing that I was unable to reach them by phone and asking if someone could contact me or I could resolve it through email, etc. I asked to talk to a manager to see if they could at least make an exception, because it was clear that the unit stopped working within six months and they had it on record. The associate was rude and insisted that there was nobody above her that could help me. At this point, my only option is to replace the plates in the most recent one under the warranty and hope it lasts for a while. After that, I may have to consider going back to chlorine or buying a very expensive saltwater system. I'm out nearly $700 over the course of four years with these intex ones. ... show more
