The Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater System is a salt chlorine generator for small above-ground pools up to 2,200 gallons, roughly 12-foot round or rectangular pools. It turns dissolved salt into chlorine through electrocatalytic oxidation, and Intex says it produces about 60% less sodium hypochlorite than other salt systems, so water feels softer and needs fewer chlorine tablets. A built-in 24-hour timer and a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter add convenience and safety. It works only with filtration pumps rated 300 to 1,000 gallons per hour, so it is a poor match for larger pools or high-flow sand filter setups. Owners like the low-maintenance routine but report cell and electrode failures over time.

With 4.1 out of 5 from over 1,000 ratings, owners mostly find the system easy to set up and effective at keeping small pools clear with less chlorine handling. The recurring complaint is durability: cells and electrodes stop producing chlorine, sometimes within a season or two.
The Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater System keeps above ground pool water clean and fresh. It suits rectangular or round pools up to 12 feet and treats pools up to 2,200 gallons.
It cleans through an electrocatalytic oxidation process, which splits water molecules into oxidants that help clean the water. The amount of sodium hypochlorite it generates is reduced by approximately 60%, which is much less than other saltwater systems generate.
The control panel is easy to read and has easy access buttons. A built-in 24-hour timer helps with upkeep. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter shuts off the pump if the electrical current is exposed to water. The system works with filtration pumps with a flow rate of 300 to 1000 gallons per hour.
