Product Information

Full details

The Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater System (26662BS) is designed for above-ground pool owners who want to eliminate the need for harsh bottled chlorine by generating natural sanitizer directly from salt. It offers a low-maintenance, cost-effective way to keep water clean and crystal clear throughout the swimming season. However, it requires careful initial salt level management and is specifically engineered for use with compatible Intex above-ground pools, meaning users must ensure their pool volume and filter pump match the system's output capacity before installation.

FAQs

Do I ever need to add chlorine manually?

In normal conditions, the system generates sufficient chlorine. However, after heavy usage or a rainstorm, you may need to add a small amount of shock to restore balance.

Is the water salty like the ocean?

No, the salt concentration is roughly one-tenth the level of ocean water, making it barely detectable to the human tongue.

Can I use any type of salt?

You must use high-purity, non-iodized pool salt. Do not use table salt or salt with anti-caking agents.

How often should I clean the electrode cell?

The system features a self-cleaning cycle, but you should inspect it at least once a season for calcium deposits and clean as needed.

Will salt damage my pool ladder?

Salt can accelerate corrosion on certain metals. Always ensure your pool ladder and other components are made of salt-compatible, non-corrosive materials.

Does this system replace my pool pump?

No, this is a sanitization system that works in-line with your existing pool pump. It requires water flow from the pump to function.

Troubleshooting

Low Salt Level Alarm

Test the water with a dedicated salt meter and add non-iodized pool salt according to the manufacturer's dosage chart.

Low Flow Error

Check that the filter pump is running, the hoses are not kinked, and the filter cartridge is clean.

System will not power on

Verify that the power cable is firmly plugged into a GFCI-protected outlet and check your home circuit breaker.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces the need for handling and storing harsh liquid or tablet chlorine.
  • Provides softer, more comfortable pool water that is gentler on skin and eyes.
  • Automated operation saves time on daily pool maintenance.
  • Cost-effective solution over the long term by reducing ongoing chemical purchases.
  • Easy-to-read control panel makes settings adjustments simple.

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement of salt levels which can be tedious for beginners.
  • Not suitable for pools with metal components that may be prone to corrosion from salt.
  • Initial setup involves testing and balancing total alkalinity and pH levels.
  • Electrode plates will eventually need replacement after several seasons of heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge to connect the unit between your pool pump and the return nozzle. Ensure your pump meets the minimum flow rate requirements stated in the user manual to prevent the system from triggering low-flow errors. Maintenance is minimal but vital: use a digital tester to check salt levels monthly, and occasionally inspect the electrode cell for calcium buildup. If scale accumulates, a mild acid bath (as directed in the manual) will restore performance. Always turn off the power at the breaker before performing any maintenance or cleaning on the unit.
