The Krystal Clear ™ Saltwater System, by Intex ® , of Long Beach, Calif., features a copper ionization function that releases highly active disinfectant ions to attack algae more aggressively than chlorine or other packaged pool chemicals.

The amount of natural chlorine generated by the saltwater system is reduced by approximately 60 percent, resulting in softer cleaner water without the potential harsh side effects of packaged pool chemicals.

The system, designed for use with a maximum-sized pool of 15,000 gallons, requires a filter pump with a flow rate between 700 to 4,000 gph. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter shuts off the pump if electrical current is exposed to water. Included is an easy-to-use control panel.

To use, simply set the 24-hour timer for hassle-free operation.
