Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater System and Filter Pump Review

Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater System and Filter Pump Feature

• Saltwater system and pump for pools and spas
• Two-stage process uses copper ionization to disinfect ions while converting salt to natural chlorine
• Reduces chlorine level by 70 percent, compared to standard saltwater systems

A two-stage process uses copper ionization to disinfect ions while converting salt to natural chlorine, creating an aggressive biocide to attack pool algae better than any product on the market. Touch-sensitive control panel allows user to pre-program operating hours - 24 hour auto clock Flow sensor system alerts operator to adverse operating conditions. Keypad locking system ensures settings are not changed accidentally. Easy to use test strips (50 count) included to check performance and maintain the perfect level of salinity in your above ground swimming pool. Easy set-up video included. What is saline conversion chlorination? - Saline chlorination is a term used for the process of converting the salt dissolved in water into active liquid chlorine, known as hypochlorite, for the sanitization of swimming pool & spa water How does saline conversion chlorination work? - A specific quantity of pure, non-iodized, fine grain table salt is added to the pool water to create a saltwater (saline) concentration of 0.3% (3000 parts per million). This salinity concentration is slightly less than the salinity level found in most human tears, thus it is very gentle to the swimmer's eyes and skin. Liquid chlorine (hypochlorite) is created through a process called electrolysis. As the water pump passes the saline through the chlorinator cell a low voltage DC current is applied to the saline. This applied energy current changes the salt dissolved in the water into liquid chlorine (hypochlorite). The liquid chlorine immediately mixes with the water leaving the chlorinator cell and flows into the swimming pool as clean, chlorinated water. The continuous introduction of liquid chlorine will ensure the continuous sanitization of the pool's water and will not allow the growth of algae. When the liquid chlorine has destroyed the bacteria in the pool, it reverts to salt. This item has a 2000 gal/hr filter pump and saltwater system in one unit.
