Intex Krystal Clear QX2600 Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater Pool Chlorine System

This salt generator (electrolytic cell) works great for our pool. It has good hose connections, and ease of use. Husband says that *all* filter pumps tend to last about 2 years, so GET the extended warranty! He's a researcher of all the things, and recommends this one. It's affordable, easy to use, and exactly what we needed. He bought a cover for it to protect it from the sun.

So far my pool has stayed clear. Have ran the boost function several times as this was a fresh from start pool. Not sure with the test strips, it keeps showing low chlorine and free chlorine, but as I said, the water is still clear, and no strong chlorine odors. I think it doing the job.

Easy to assemble and hook up, directions were simple yet not too vague. Installed on a 5500gal above ground saltwater pool. Works like charm! My water is always crystal clear. Definitely recommend, even for folks like me that have no clue what they are doing.

So good! Easy connect to pump and was the only thing that cleared my pool up! Would recommend to anyone tired of dumping chemicals in their pool!

Works good and easy to assemble but it does leak from the frame plastic part. So nothing we did with install. Class one leak - shown on second photo

First time our pool has been pretty much maintenance free. Hooray.

The filter part worked great but the salt cell never worked. I used all the settings - boost, chlorinate and filter - multiple times and it never produced any chlorine. Salt levels were correct so I think the salt cell must have been defective.

My husband is a water treatment engineer who designs Large RO systems . According to him this is a good quality system. We are planning to install it in our lap pool which is still not set up... so I apologize for no complete set up photos This is a salt water filter. NO chlorine which is wonderful.

I ordered this Intex Krystal Clear Sand Filter and Salt Water System as an upgrade to my current Sand Filter and Pump system which requires frequent chlorine addition. I decided after reading that it would make daily maintenance both less time consuming and less costly. Even after the addition of needed supplies, I still believe this to be true. The sand filter requires 77 pounds of sand and this early in the season I found Quikrete pool sand in stock at local home depot store for $9.98 per 50 pound bag as there was none in stock in store at Walmart. Once the sand filter is filled, I advise flushing it to disposal to rinse the sand in order to avoid excessive sand/dust entering the pool. Considering the 6500 gallon capacity of my pool, it seems I will need 171 pounds of pool salt. I located Clorox 40 pound bags in stock at Walmart for $6.45 each. I already have a 6 way water test kit so I have the salt water test strips ordered and they will be here in a couple of days. I have opened the Krystal Clear Sand Filter and Salt Water kit and verified all parts are present and none were damaged during shipping. I have checked and the hose sizes are the same as my current system so no other parts should be needed. I plan to have this upgrade up and running as soon as my son can schedule time to help me with it providing the weather will also cooperate . I am looking forward to a summer of spending more time in the pool and less time maintaining it.

This review is for the Intex CG-26675EG Saltwater pump filter. I recently moved into a place and the previous owners had had an 18' above ground that needed a little help. The old sand filter looked like it hadn't been used in years so I opted to replace everything I could and just keep the pool frame. The pool should hold around 8,000 gallons so this filter is the right size for the job and I really wanted a saltwater filter for less chlorine use. I think it's a better swimming experience. It's economical and the salt level is so low that it feels like you're swimming in fresh water. This model ECO15110-2 is rated at 1600 GPH which should filter the entire contents of my pool every four hours or so. It has a built in timer which is convenient, no need to purchase one separately. It comes with all the tubing I needed, the only thing I have to supply is the 77lbs of pool filter sand which I was able to get that from my local hardware supply for a fair price along with the pool salt. Just be sure to figure out how much water is in your pool so you get the right size filter and the right amount of salt. Once the salt is added, you never need to add any more for as long as you own the pool, unless you empty and refill it.
