It’s a common question we hear from pool owners: does salt water damage your pool? The simple answer is no, salt water will not damage your pool. In fact, using salt water in your pool can have several benefits. Salt water is gentler on swimmers than chlorine, and it’s also more effective at killing bacteria and other contaminants. This means that you can maintain a higher level of cleanliness in your pool with less effort. Salt water also doesn’t fade swimsuits or cause irritation to swimmers’ eyes and skin the way chlorine can. There are a few things to keep in mind if you’re thinking of switching to a salt water pool. First, you’ll need to install a saltwater chlorination system, which typically costs more than a traditional chlorine system. You’ll also need to add salt to the pool on a regular basis – usually around 50 pounds per 2,500 gallons of water – so it’s important to factor that cost into your budget. Overall, though, using salt water in your pool is a safe and effective way to keep it clean and comfortable for everyone who uses it.

It is generally recommended that you leave your Intex pump on all the time. This is because the pump is responsible for circulating the water in your pool, and if it is turned off for extended periods of time, the water can become stagnant. Additionally, the pump helps to filter the water and keep it clean, so it is important to have it running regularly. Of course, you will need to turn off the pump occasionally for maintenance or repairs, but in general, it should be left on.

There is no definitive answer to how many hours a day you should run your Intex pool pump. However, there are some general guidelines that can help you determine the best schedule for your pump. First, you should run your pump for at least six hours per day during the swimming season. This will ensure that the water in your pool is properly circulated and filtered. Second, you may need to run your pump for more or less time depending on the size of your pool and the number of swimmers using it. If you have a large pool or a lot of swimmers, you may need to run your pump for longer periods of time. Conversely, if you have a small pool or few swimmers, you may be able to get by with running your pump for shorter periods of time. Finally, keep in mind that you may need to adjust your pump’s schedule as the weather changes. For example, if it is very hot outside, you may need to run your pump for longer periods of time to prevent the water from becoming too warm. In general, following these guidelines will help you determine how many hours a day you shouldrun your Intex pool pump. However, be sure to consult with an expert if you have any questions about specific scenarios.

It is recommended that you run your Intex saltwater system for at least 12 hours the first time you use it. This will allow the system to properly clean and sanitize your pool water.
