Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater System and Sand Filter Pump

This rating is for the 26669EG model I purchased in 2020. Overall, I am a satisfied customer. I use this unit in combination with a Hayward Powerflo Matrix Pump and Hayward sand filter for my 10,400 gallon Yardmore Saltwater LX above ground pool I have had to replace parts. I purchased a new 12659EG control module because I flooded and completely submerged the original purchased, so it understandably stopped working. Also had to replace the titanium electrode twice, failed once in the middle of summer 2022, then again in fall 2024 (was covering my pool for the winter a couple of weeks after that, anyway). So, figure on having to purchase new electrodes to make the chlorine production work every two years. I keep salt at about 3200 ppm. Other than that, the only things I do to treat pool is broadcast several pounds of baking soda a couple of times through the summer and add algaecide every couple of weeks starting usually in mid-July, water stays completely transparent. Friend who lives across town is constantly fighting to adjust her chemicals and keep above ground pool from turning green while I frankly do very, very little for weekly (or even monthly) pool maintenance during swim season. Is this a perfect product that's going to give you years of worry-free operation? No. However, the alternative of dealing with (and the constant cost of) adding chlorine is frankly worth it for me.

The item is not matched with the detail description and highlights total different item numbers. Picture shows one thing detail description show another. Bait and switch game. Shame on you target. Now I got to take time to take it back.

good morning it's another beautiful day in paradise. i was finally able to get my intex unit up and running on auto. the reason it took so long was because my old intex unit went down and told me that i had low salt. i put in a 40lb. bag and it still read low salt, this went on for a total of 4 bags, then i realized my unit was sending me faulty readings. it took a couple of weeks of draining about 1 inch oer day and then refilling the pool. it's up and running great now thanks terry

I have purchased more than 3 of these ...all don't last more that 1 season. Expensive even if it lasted 2 years!

Keeps water clean, but failed after one and a half season which is unacceptable.

Bought this unit in 2022 with the intention of using it for the 2023 season. Worked fine in 2023. This year (2024), not so much. Started throwing the 91 code (low salt) in the beginning of August. Added the 20 lbs of salt the manual said to add when low salt light comes on, and turned the unit back on. Stays on for less than 5 minutes, and then 91 comes back on. I have already took it apart and cleaned it (it wasn't even dirty or had any kind of build up on it), all to no avail. This is the second unit that we have bought in 5 years (the other one lasted a little longer) but we're thinking of throwing in the towel. If I had read the other reviews, I probably would have never bought the second one. Not worth the money!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The installation of this system was super easy. It is very effective on getting the job done and doing what it's supposed to do. It doesn't require much maintenance. It is durable and has great compatibility.

Dislike that this didn't last more than one year

I love this saltwater system when it works but have bought several over the years. They only last about two years and then the titanium electrode fails. They are just too expensive to replace every two years and the titanium electrode is over half the cost of a new system.

One day it works the next it says high salt. The next day it works for a feed hours and then says high salt. The next 5 days it’s high salt and then it starts working again. The only thing I do is turn it on and off, I think it’s junk and I don’t recommend this product.

had my set up running now for about 3 months now, I would love to give 5 stars but the only and I mean only issue I have is I cannot put this on a timer with my pump. what I mean is my sand filter and pump I have set up on a Wi-Fi timer which comes on and turns off at specific times. turn it on. The unit when turned on will come on again 24hr later which is great IF THE POWER DOESNT GO OUT. When the power goes out you then need to manually push the power button to get the system to turn back on. Very easy if your home you just have to remember to turn it back on at the time your pump is running. This would be great to be able to have it on the timer so when the power goes out and comes back on the system will still turn on at the time its supposed to. great unit but could use that upgrade to allow when its plugged in its on rather than a push button why not a toggle switch?

bought this last year went to put on line this year and it worked for 1 week now will not let me change any setting or turn itself off, to bad I have had good luck with most of there products but this is a bust

This salt water chlorinator is starting its second season for us with with zero issues! It was simple to set up and keeps our pool, (18'x9' Intex XTR) clean and clear all season with no maintenance at all. We cycle it 10 hours/day with the winter running 12 hours/day. It is a great unit creating a nearly maintenance-free pool experience!

Lasted a year, low salt error won't go away after cleaning testing and cleaning and testing again. Complete garbage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product! I received this product a few months back and wasn't able to review the product due to tech issues. I’ve had time to try it out in our new pool and it works great. We have a 13,000 gallon pool and this is more than sufficient for it. 

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great above ground pool pump I was kind of Leary about it at first but the saltwater pump is amazing and my pool is so clean and works amazing definitely recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great system and great quality! I love the salt water system because you don’t have to use all the harsh chemicals. My pool is perfectly clear and overall cleaner and better feeling.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [This review was collected as part of a promotion] This Intex pool saltwater system works very well, in helping keep an above ground saltwater pool clean. This saltwater system has helped me in maintaining and keeping my above ground pool crystal clear. It has helped me save a little time from having to clean my pool all the time. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone that has an above ground saltwater pool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Guys….if your kids love swimming and you don’t want to pay for an underground pool, get an intex and add this saltwater filter! It makes your skin feel amazing. So much easier than chlorine! My daughter always has itchy burning eyes with chlorine, we hate the smell and the way it makes our skin feel. This eliminates ALL of those issues!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately it is wintertime in the rocky mountains so I can’t test this right now, but it looks super efficient and worth the price tag. It was shipped in a sturdy box with lots of supporting materials. The tubing and plastic is durable and well made. The specifications also show that it can be used versatilely in many different sized pools. I plan to update my review when we can actually set it up in summertime, but so far this looks amazing! Also it has a two year limited warranty from Intex.
