Actually a question

Does this pump support salt water? Or do I need to purchase a new one for that?

reply from Bestway USA

Yes, it is generally safe to use salt water with a sand filter pump, but care should be taken regarding the concentration of salt. The safe concentration of salt in the water is around 1 ppm (1 gram per liter of water). If this concentration is exceeded, it is advisable to change the water to prevent damage to the internal components of the pump. Additionally, after adding salt, it's recommended to run the sand filter pump for 24 hours to ensure the salt completely dissolves before starting the chlorinator.

salt water compatible?

so far so good. is this pool salt water compatible?

Helpful?7CN4L3T3N4P417609763246
reply from Bestway USA

Yes, this pool can be compatible with salt water systems, but it's important to use the correct concentration. The document suggests that the safe concentration of salt that can be used is 3000 ppm (3 grams per liter). It's crucial not to exceed this concentration as higher levels of salt can damage the internal components and the surface of the material of the pool. If the salt concentration exceeds this, the water should be changed to prevent damage to the internal mechanical parts of the pool system.
