I only have the INTEX saltwater system. Will it work without a filter pump running?

No, the saltwater system cannot work without a filter pump. The saltwater system does not have its own pump to draw water from the pool. The saltwater system must be connected DOWNSTREAM THE FILTER PUMP and the filter pump must be running. In case the saltwater system is turned on without the filter pump running, it will not switch on and will most likely display error code 90 (insufficient water flow). The saltwater system will not get damaged; it will however remain idle and will not produce chlorine.

 

I have an INTEX filter pump with saltwater system. Will it work without a filter pump running?

If you set up the saltwater system, the filter pump switches on automatically. Once the set time of the saltwater system passes, the filter pump switches off as well. If you set the saltwater system separately to run separately for e.g. 4 hours and the filter pump for e.g. 6 hours, the filter pump will carry on with its program after the saltwater system time passes (that is for 2 more hours).
