Highlights

- CONTROL PANEL – The system has a convenient 24 hour digital timer that automatically turns the pump on and off each day; this can be set to run for up to 12 hours for effortless scheduling and cleaning
- INCLUDED ACCESSORIES – Includes two 1 1⁄2in connector hoses, one HydroAeration Technology inlet fitting, and a 25ft power cord with built-in GFCI for safety; enjoy a clean swmming environnment for up to a 8,500-gallon pool (minimum 2,600 gallon)
- HYDROAERATION TECHNOLOGY – It's all in the bubbles; patented HydroAeration Technology by INTEX when using our filtration systems improves overall water circulation, clarity, and freshness in thousands of above ground pools
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.

the electroid gives out in a year

The electroid plates for the salt water system gave out about a year later. But I fiddled with it for 2-3 months thinking the error codes was either too little salt or calcium build up. Salt water level is high and the there isn't a drop of calcium on the plates. There was never much there in the first place. The replacement Electroid isn't even in stock!!

Settings are a bit finicky to get, but it does what it's supposed to do in a relatively easy format. The only real design flaw is not being able to run multiple times in a single 24 hour period (ie, you can only run it for 2 hours once a day, whereas I'd prefer to run it 2 hours twice a day). We have used it for a full season and started it back up again this season and it works fine. For the price vs your local pool store similar products, this is a good value.
Just what we needed

Titanium Electrode #12873 went bad, trying to order a replacement. Was told this part is not available, and they don't know when they will get more in stock. So, the saltwater filter system won't work without this part.. If Intex can't get replacement parts for their products, they shouldn't be selling them! Very Disappointed!!! With 2 months left of the swimming season, what am I supposed to do!!!!

It is actually75hp very strong,using it on a summer wave 22x52 and does great. A little pricey for intex but will see how long it last. It as a 2 yr warranty I haven't had the best luck on intex products.
