ANSWERS:
  1. What's the power specification of the saltwater system?

    The INTEX saltwater system runs on: Model 6110 1.6A, 176W 110~120V/AC
  2. Should I add salt every day?

    It depends on the pool size, the frequency of pool usage and the environments under which the pool and saltwater system is running. Please refer to "Intex Pools Operating Time Table" in the Owner's Manual for details.

    Note: To ensure pool water cleanliness, always add salt when the saltwater level reaches the minimum level or the LED red light is on. (See Owner’s manual).
  3. How can I adjust the operating time? What does "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" on the time control dial stand for?

    You can adjust the operating time by using a coin to adjust the time control dial. The numbers “1, 2, 3, 4, 5” stand for 1, 2, 4, 6 and 12 operating hours respectively. Please refer to "Intex Pools Operating Time Table" in the Owner's Manual for details.
  4. Do I have to set the operating time every day?

    No, the Intex saltwater system has a built-in automatic 24 hour timer system. It starts work automatically everyday from the time you power on the unit. If you want to change the operation starting time, you power off the unit and power it on at your desired time.
  5. Do I have to reset the operating time after a power cut?

    Yes, if you prefer the unit to start at the original time. Otherwise, the 24 hour clock will start from the time that the power returns and recalculate the operation hours. In this case, you have to adjust your filter pump operation hours accordingly.
  6. Do I have to agitate the water in the salt tank?

    No, a built-in pump will agitate the saltwater and it helps the salt dissolve into the water.
  7. Is the INTEX Saltwater System compatible with my pool?

    The INTEX Saltwater System is designed for all INTEX pools, but to provide better sanitizing for pools over 15 feet, we recommend INTEX saltwater system Model 8110.
  8. How do I add Salt?

    Measure out four full scoops of salt (total 2.2lbs) , or three full scoops of salt (1.65lbs) when the weather is very hot, into the salt container with the measuring scoops provided (see owner’s manual).
  9. What is the replenishment cycle for salt and water?

    When you use the system for the first time, please check the saltwater level in the saltwater tank everyday. Add the salt and water when the saltwater level reaches the minimum water level (at the step level = 8cm from the bottom) or when the red indicator/ alarm is on. The number of days to reach the minimum level is your replenishment cycle.

    Note: “salt and water replenishment cycle” is provided in the “Intex Pool Operating Time Table” in the Owner’s Manual for your reference. However, the actual replenishment cycle may vary due to the following factors: pool water level, filter pump size, length of the pump hose, the position (height) of the saltwater system
  10. Is the INTEX Saltwater System safe?

    Yes, the system uses an ultra safe voltage for electrolysis (below 12V). The system also incorporates several sensors to avoid any dangerous operation or damage to the machine.
  11. Will my pool water become very salty?

    No. Although the INTEX saltwater system adds a small quantity of salt to the pool water, it takes about half a year to reach a salt level of 3g/L which can hardly be tasted.

    Note: Human taste salt level at about 4-5g/L. Sea water salt level is 30g/L. It takes 5 years for the salt concentration form saltwater system to reach the sea water level.
  12. What’s the filter pump's capacity requirement for the INTEX saltwater system?

    The capacity of the filter pump ranges from 500 gal ~ 3000 gal.
  13. Can I attach INTEX accessories, such as heater, sprinkler, maintenance kit or auto cleaner, when operating my saltwater system?

    No. It is not recommended to attach any INTEX accessories (except filter pump) when you are using saltwater system, because it will affect the performance of the saltwater system and may cause false alarms. If you want to use other accessories, please turn off the saltwater system during the period when using other accessories.
  14. Can I use the saltwater system with a non-intex filter pump or sand filter?

    We do not recommend using this Intex saltwater system with a non-Intex pump or any kind of sand filters.
  15. Why does my pool still look green even though I followed the instructions described in the Owner’s Manual?

    The residual sanitizer level in the water depends on several factors: the temperature, the wind, the UV light and number of swimmers. Please test the sanitizer level with test strips. In this situation, we recommend that you run the saltwater system at night or prolong the operating hours by shifting to a higher level.
  16. What should I do when the alarm is on (red LED indicator)?

    There are several things you may need to check and do:

    - First
    - Open the top cover and check if the salt water has run out. Add salt and water if needed. Please refer to the owner’s manual for the correct amount of salt to add.
    - Second
    - Ensure the filter pump is on and running.
    - Ensure the plunger valves on the pool (if any) are opened.
    - Ensure the filter cartridge, cell and debris screen are clear from debris and dirt.
    - Release all trapped air in the circulation line.
    - Check the direction of the water inlet and water outlet hose. Reverse the hoses if incorrectly installed.
    - Third
    - Drain the saltwater from the salt tank, and re-fill it with water and salt. Please refer to the owner’s manual for the correct amount of salt to add.

    NOTE: Always turn the power off and disconnect power cord before cleaning and servicing.
  17. Why is the green indicator (on the right side) not immediately on when I turn on the system?

    The green indicator will turn on when the system starts producing chlorine, which will occur approximately 10 minutes after the system is turned on.
  18. What should I do when my saltwater tank runs dry faster than the stated days for replenishment in the Owner’s Manual?

    The replenishment cycle to add salt and water may vary depending on the size of the pool, size and position of the filter pump, condition of the filter, etc. To ensure pool water cleanliness, always add salt when the water level is lower than the minimum water level or red indicator is on (see owner’s manual).
  19. Why is it difficult to install the saltwater tank onto the base?

    This may be caused by the rubber ring on the base connection. The rubber ring is thick to prevent salt water from leaking. If you find your saltwater tank hard to install, please pour some water or spread some oil on the rubber to lubricate it for easy installation. Note: Please watches the water filter (part #12 in Parts Reference in the Owner’s Manual). It might be caught between the base rubber ring and the saltwater tank.
  20. What should I do if the saltwater system stops pumping when the saltwater tank is still half full? (Water flow and salt level are ok)

    You should lift the whole saltwater system up to about 4-8 inches high with bricks. If it still does not solve the problem, please contact Intex Consumer Service Center for replacement.
