Salt Water system with sand filter?

[zmachines]

Go for it! My Mother-in-law has this same setup on her Intex pool and loves it. Once she gets everything clean and going at the beginning of the season, she rarely has to touch it throughout the season. You won't regret it!
I also have an in-ground w/salt generator and sand filter. After a green cleanup to get it started this season, I have crystal clear water and already up to 91°. Good ole southern weather!

"Krystal-Clear" is just the Intex brand for their over-hyped salt system. Dunno if it's a good one or bad one, but be careful about the bogus claims.

That said, if there's a warranty, having a salt system would probably make it easier on your wife. I suspect it's probably a decent product for the money -- that's certainly been true of most Intex products -- but on the low capacity low end of things.

They've got great value in most of their products; I don't know why they feel the need to hype them.
