Description
Keep your above-ground pool water clean, fresh, and sparkling with the Intex 26679EG 16-inch Krystal Clear Saltwater System and Sand Filter Pump. The all-natural sand provides excellent water filtration as the 6-function control valve allows the pool owner to filter, backwash and rinse, recirculate, drain, and close the system. The built-in 24-hour timer adds to the hassle-free experience with maintaining a cleaner pool.
The Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump generates a pump flow rate of 2,650 gallons per hour, ideal for above-ground pools. Equipped with the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, which is an added safety feature that shuts off the pump if electrical current is exposed to water. This effective pump requires virtually no maintenance except the replacement of sand every 5 years.
With the Saltwater System’s electrocatalytic oxidation process, water molecules are split into oxidants that help keep the water clean. The amount of Sodium Hypochlorite generated by the saltwater system is reduced by approximately 60%, much less than other saltwater systems generate.
Enjoy the same process used at many resorts in your own pool with the 16-inch Intex Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump and Saltwater System.

My previous chlorinator was very good but died aged 20. Technology has clearly advanced and the price has dropped. This appears to be a good and much cheaper replacement. However there are two aspects which could be improved. The programed operation repeats every 24 hours, but there is no clock and it is only possible to program a fixed number of hours from the moment of programming. It is also not possible to see the start time. A soft copy of the instructions is only available on the Czech website as the copy on the US website is for another version and also is a corrupted file.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad the new chlorinator serves as a cost-effective replacement. We appreciate your suggestions for improvement and will pass them along. We're sorry about the instruction issue and will work on resolving it.

I purchased the generator at the end of the summer of 23', I didn't install it on the 500 gallon pool at that time though. Because the old freestanding 500 gallon pool was small for the grandkids, I purchased an Intex 10' 1100 gallon pool. I installed the salt water generator as soon as I set this new pool up around May 24'. I let it run for a week or so before taking a water sample to a local pool company for analysis. I needed to extend the run time, add more salt and add another chemical. The instructions for the QS400 state for my size pool the generator should run about 3 hours. I have found that I have it set to 7 hours to work for the level chlorine I am happy with in the pool. Following a heavy rain or heavy use by the grandkids, I add a bit of shock. Beyond these things, the generator has been great!. Much less maintenance than having to add chlorine tablets and keep checking on levels. The pool has remained clear and seems to be holding chemical levels, per test strips. Very happy with the purchase and trouble free use of the pool compared to previous years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product very late in the season, after the pool was already closed so I am doing the review based on everything else outside of actual usage. With that being said, shipping was very quick! I would definitely order other products from them based on that alone, it’s very impressive to me. When I received the product, I opened it and read the instructions for usage and found it to be clear cut. It’s very easy to understand, and laid out simply so even if it would be your first time using a saltwater pool cleaner you’ll be able to understand and use it immediately. The box that contained the product is extremely durable and will hold up very well in storage when the pool is not open. I’d recommend this product based on the information I provided, and I fully plan to update this review once I actually use the product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Clean and clear pool water with minimal chlorine use and less maintenance. For above ground pools up to 4500 gallons, also requires filter pump with flow rate of 300 to 1000 gallons per hour. Easier on eyes, especially for children and helps reduce swim suit or hair color fading. Perfect to get hotel quality pool water with less time, hassle or harsh chemical effects.
Works great!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t get chance to actually use this product because by the time I got it, it was already Fall and our pool was down for the year. But I did pick this specific one to test and review because my sister has the exact same one and she loves hers. It keeps her pool crystal clear and she has 4 kids who use her pool. I’m looking forward to putting it to the test next summer. If my pool is as clear as hers I will be more than satisfied.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried Intex Krystal Clear saltwater pool chlorine system and it kept my pool clear! I hooked this system up to my current above-ground pool and it was easy to install. I liked how compact the system was and easy to use. Definitely better than a regular pool pump!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love a CLEAN life. Cleaning eating, clean home and a CLEAN and harsh chemical free pool! We received this free from influenster and Intex and the instructions are pretty clear and easy to understand. You basically plug it in, add salt and go! We have quite a feat when we open our pool! I’m sure this will do the trick.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Intex QS400 Salwater Filter is amazing. This particular model is for intex pool filters up to forty five hundred gallon pools. It's pretty easy to connect to the existing filter, You simply add a small amount of salt into the filter that then works its way into the pool that helps with keeping the pool sanitized, helping your pool additives work better. And keep your pool clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this complimentary in exchange for my honest review. I have no idea if this is gonna be good or not they sent them after we shut are pool for the season. But I have looked up to see if people say they are good. Everyone says it changed how they open there pool for the season and it’s so much easier to keep it clean. It takes the excess salt and distributed chlorine when needed.
