  1. I just purchased a 4' by 16' Intex ultra frame pool, and Intex Saltwater system. I got everything all setup and I have the pool filled. By the instructions, I added 120 lbs of salt. Unfortunately the salt I used was regular water softener salt. It was 99% pure according to the bag. Anyways, I let the filter run for 24 hours like it said, and I swept the bottom of the pool till it was disolved. I turned on the saltwater machine, and I got error 91.. Low salt. Ok. No problem. I started adding more salt to it till I had 180 lbs dissolved in there. Still giving me LOW SALT. I ended up having to drain over half the water out, because the pool was kind of lopsided. Once I refilled it, I used a Salt test strip, and came back with 1600 PPM. I need at least 3000. So I went to the pool store and bought 4 bags of pool salt. I added a bag and a half of salt, and waited a day. Checked it with another test strip and it gave me 3300 PPM. COOL. I tried the salt water system, and it worked this time. I let it go for 2 days and it successfully ran it's cycle twice. SO I decided to shut off the pump and the saltwater system and start them up individually at specific times so that they run the same time everyday. I have not gotten the saltwater system to work since. I keep getting error 91. LOW SALT. I added a half a bag of salt, and let it disolve for a day, and I checked it with a strip, and I'm getting 3400 PPM again. I turend the saltwater system on again and got the LOW SALT error again. My question now is WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Do I have a bad unit? Am I doing something wrong with this thing? Thanks in advance.
