Can this filter be used on a salt pool or will the filter corrode?

There isn't a pump/filter system specifically designed for salt water pools. You can use the NE6145 but the shaft seal will wear prematurely and will need to be replaced at least once a season.

how often and how do you clean the filter?

Its best to backwash sand filters once a week during the swim season. You would need to place the multiport valve in the backwash position when the pump is turned off and then run for 30 seconds. Then place the valve into the rinse position again when the pump is off then run for 10 seconds. Repeat this procedure two more times and then you're done.

I see this does not have a strainer housing. Does that need to be purchased separate or do I not need one with this type of sand pump?

Hello Olivia, These pumps don't need a strainer housing the Sandman 12" Sand Filter System With 1/2 Hp Pump is made for Intex style pools.

I have a 3 year old 16x48 intex pool and having trouble vacumming so I want to upgrade to a regular pump and sand filter to see if I can get better suction with the hose as the intex one just doesn't seem strong enough to suck anything up.... also I,ve modified my pool with an outside skimmer through the pool wall so what size hoses go with this system so it will fit

James, You can use a 1.5" hose adapter with this filter and pump. The hose adapter can accommodate both 1 1/4" and 1.5" hose.
