All I can do is look at the Intex manual, and see if they have info that would help. Which model number do you have?
salt too low on salt system
Everything was working well...chemistry good. One day low salt came on. I had added about 2 inches of water to my 15 ft. round intex pool previously several days before light came on. I added 6 lbs salt but light stays on, Ended up putting a total of 18 lbs all together and the light remains on. I run the pump 3 hrs a day, chem strip shows very little clorine. This is my 2nd years with this system and I cleaned the electrodes as recommended after last season. Any ideas on this problem? thanks, jim

Re: salt to low on salt system
its model # is cs711. I had the water tested today. salt was way high at 5100. I took out half the water and am now refilling it. I also cleaned the eletrodes but they didn't look to bad. Hopefully, this will take care of the problem.
Re: salt to low on salt system
The manual for a "CS7110" Intex SWCG is here:

I don't think there is a CS711.
Let me know of the lower salt level fixes things, however the Intex SWCG have only a 1 year warranty -- and if you use BOOST mode (AKA the 'kill my SWCG unit quickly' mode!) much you'll be lucky if it lasts 1 month past warranty.
Re: salt too low on salt system
that number is 7111. Are there better units I may want to look into?
Re: salt too low on salt system
There are definitely better better SWCGs than Intex, and they cost significantly more. Adapting a NON-Intex SWCG to an Intex system can be done, but it requires some adapters and ingenuity. If I was replacing an Intex SWCG, I'd probably get the biggest Intex model available and use it ONLY for normal operation. I'd shock with Walmart generic bleach. If I was replacing the WHOLE circulation system AND was confident that I'd have a pool for 5 years, I'd look at Penair and Hayward systems if I was having a contractor install it and a Hayward if I were installing.

What he said . . .
"Penair" = Pentair. Pentair pumps and filters are generally good. Their salt systems? Not so much.
