How do I know if my salt cell is bad Intex?
Signs of a Potential Problem
- The power center displays a Check Salt message.
- The Cell Warning light displays consistently, shutting off for only a short while after cleaning.
- Voltage is higher than normal.
- Amperage is irregular (it should normally be zero or just slightly above)
Where is the salt sensor on Intex saltwater system?
The salt sensor is the thin rectangular black thing on the output side of the pump.
How many bags of salt do I need for a 18×48 pool?
A pool that is 18×48 and 4 feet deep is about 26,000 gallons and would take 750 lbs. of salt to get the salt level up to 3400 ppm…
How does the Intex salt water system work?
Instead, the INTEX saltwater system uses only 100% all natural salt to generate a low level of natural chlorine and copper ions that destroy bacteria and algae and oxidize other organic materials to present you a fresh, clean, clear swimming pool. And the level of salt is so low, that swimmers do not even know that it is there!
How much salt does an Intex pool chlorinator use?
With a generator installed, you can dissolve enough salt in the pool water to bring the concentration to about 3,000 ppm. You add salt directly to the pool water—the Intex system does not have a salt reservoir.
Why does my Intex chlorine generator keep making low salt levels?
One problem that users have found with Intex saltwater chlorine generators is repetitive Low Salt Level errors – even when salt levels in your water are adequate. This is due to the chlorinator cell building up scale on the electrical plates. When you purchase a unit new, it should last several months without this problem coming up.
Why is my Intex salt sensor not working?
Early this spring the low flow sensor started to fail. I proved it by jumping the sensor and the unit would come on and generate chlorine as expected. I ordered a new one and continued to allow the SWG to operate with the jumper inplace, then replaced it once it arrived.

With a generator installed, you can dissolve enough salt in the pool water to bring the concentration to about 3,000 ppm. You add salt directly to the pool water—the Intex system does not have a salt reservoir. As a pump circulates the water through the generator, electrolysis plates ionize the salt to produce free chlorine.

Is the Intex saltwater system easy to use?
The INTEX Saltwater System is an easy to use, automatic pool maintenance system. Pool owners no longer have to endure the expense and time of constant trips to the store and the dangers of handling and storing traditional packaged chlorine.
