Intex saltwater system QS500 'Krystal Clear' (up to 26,500 L) - clean without chemical chlorine!

This Intex Krystal Clear salt water system keeps pool water wonderfully clear & clean, and without chlorine!
This filtration system converts pool salt into natural chlorine so algae & bacteria are killed. So you can enjoy a clean pool, without the use of chemical chlorine.
This is ideal for water rats with chlorine allergies and prevents red & itchy eyes.

The unit is compact & has a sleek design. On the control panel you can see & set all the necessary info.
You can choose between 3 self-cleaning modes with cycles of 6h, 10h or 14h.

Attention: always connect the saltwater system last in the cyclic setup between pump & pool.

Why choose a salt water system
✅Disinfects the pool thanks to natural chlorine
✅ No more itchy & red eyes, gentler on your skin
✅ Saves you extra work & maintenance products
✅ You only need to add pool salt once

How does a salt water system work
Fill the pump with pool salt and run the system. The pool salt is then converted into natural chlorine thanks to electrolysis. It then releases powerful oxidants that kill the algae, fungi & bacteria in the water. You only need to fill the system with the pool salt once. The salt is reused every time. Attention: the pool salt must be purchased separately!

Which filter pump do I need?
For this system to work properly, you need a cartridge filter pump with a capacity of at least 2,650 L/h or up to 12,112 L/h. The filter pump controls the salt water system so the filter pump must also keep running during salt electrolysis. Preferably leave the filter pump on half an hour earlier & longer than the salt water system. Timers allow you to easily coordinate the units. A saltwater system is certainly not an alternative to your filter pump, but an extra addition!

For which pool is this saltwater system suitable?
The Krystal Clear can be used for pools up to 26,500 L (26.50 m³).

The hose connection has a diameter of 38 mm. Does this not fit your pool? Then purchase the Intex Hose Adapter B so that you can connect this saltwater system without difficulty to your pool with a 32 mm connection.

How does the control panel work?
- Timer: you can set the timer between 1 and 12h. It automatically starts at the same time every day.
- Boost: when the boost is set, the system will run 8 times the currently set working time. Example: the set working time is 8h. Then the boost function will run 8 x 8 = 64h. During boost, the filter pump must run continuously.
- Self-cleaning: this can be set to 14, 10 or 6h. You only need to set the self-cleaning once. It works in the background when the salt water system is on and produces chlorine.

How much pool salt do I need?
A guideline is to multiply the volume of your pool (the number of liters) by 0.003. Then you will know how many kg of salt you need for cleaning! So for a 25,000 L pool, this is 75 kg.

Tip from poolboy Marcel:
A pool not only provides cooling & fun but also requires maintenance. So keep a close eye on the pool values (pH, chlorine & alkaline values) in order to enjoy your pool safely and as long as possible. Check out our wide range of maintenance products here.
