Intex 54611eg Krystal Clear Saltwater System And Filter Pump Best Price
I have done quite a bit of research before selecting this unit. Here's what I learned:
1) You CAN buy the cheap "solar" salt and the system will work perfectly fine. People try to scare you into buying "pool salt" because of micro organisms and bacteria left behind from the tiny organisms found in solar salt. Bull. The system will fire right up and kill whatever impurities there may be present at a much lower cost than "pool salt".
2) Put the Solar salt in the day before you plan on installing this unit so the water already has the dissolved salt available to convert once you install the system. My pool is a Summer Escapes brand 17' by 48" deep that I got from Sam's Club and I used 160 pounds of Solar salt.
3) By having a Summer Escapes brand pool instead of Intex I had to figure out how to adapt the supplied connectors to this non brand pool. Here's all I did:
A) Leave the Summer Escapes pump attached to your skimmer(it's your only option to attach a
HOSE AND STILL USE THE WALL SKIMMER).
B) Also leave the outlet portion attached to the pool(except the supplied Summer Escapes
hose).
C) Attach the supplied Intex hoses to both connections on the Saltwater System. Use the
supplied hose claps to connect to the Summer Escapes pump(you will NEVER power up this pump...it is only used as a means to connect ths system to your wall skimmer!!!). Now use the other supplied hose clam to attach to the Summer Escapes outlet. Tighten both clamps securely.
D) Power up the unit and bleed the top filter screw of air until the system flows smoothly.
E) You WILL NOT USE the Intex supplied "T" valves...there is no need.
F) Follow the instructions on how to program the unit(very easy). By the way...remove the "C" filter supplied by Summer Escapes but keep the large plastic strainer in place for large debris!
G) Enjoy!
Product would be even easier to hook up with an Intex brand pool as the screw on connectors would all be functional. I don't miss the Intex "t" valves and do like the in wall skimmer feature. There may be a better way to hook the hose to the in wall skimmer without using the Summer Escapes pump but I couldn't figure one out. It does the job as the water flows freely through the UNPOWERED pump directly into the POWERED INTEX PUMP at the advertised rate. I put this together as described, without help, in roughly 45 minutes. I could do it in 30 minutes if I had these fine directions!!
UPDATE!!! Unit just FAILED. Red light came on and entire unit shut off. Red light is right next to "service". I called INTEK and they said RED LIGHT is equivalent to Microsoft XBOX's "ring of death"...in other words...unit is done. They said they would replaced the failed control panel as soon as I filled out the claim form and uploaded or faxed the receipt. I did both today. I live in OHIO but temps have consistently been in the 90 to 100 degree range. With the part coming from California I fear that my pool may be green before the part arrives. I called the local pool company and they said I could use liquid chlorine. I still can't filter it though. I will update again based on INTEK customer service.

Intex 54611eg Krystal Clear Saltwater System And Filter Pump Overview
Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump & Saltwater System
Enjoy clearer, crisp water in your above-ground pool with help from this water-cleaning system from Intex. Unlike other systems that use packaged chlorine that can leave your eyes burning red, your hair a funny color, and your brand-new swimsuit looking faded, the Krystal Clear system keeps pool water clean by using saltwater--a much gentler option for you and your polka-dot bikini.
Filter pump and saltwater system keeps above-ground pools clean without the need for packaged chlorine.
2-stage technology sanitizes pool water; 24-automatic timer and built-in GFCI provides safety and easy operation.
Uses Economical Salt
Krystal Clear combines a filter pump and saltwater system in one automatically controlled unit that filters and cleans your pool.
The system not only eliminates bacteria and algae from pool water using virtually undetectable amounts of economical salt. In fact, the salt levels created are about one-tenth that of the ocean, so swimmers won't see, feel, or smell any salt. In addition to the salt, the system also produces low levels of natural chlorine that swimmers neither feel nor smell. With the Krystal Clear saltwater system, pool party enthusiasts can enjoy soft, fresh, clean water--without the harsh side effects of packaged pool chemicals.
Benefits:
- No chemical smell
- No faded swimsuits
- No red burning eyes
- No hair discoloration
2-Stage Technology
The Krystal Clear saltwater system combines a unique two-stage technology to sanitize pool water. First, an undetectable level of natural, swimmer-safe chlorine is produced when natural salt is added to pool water and passes through a titanium-coated electrolytic cell during the filtration process. This produces soft, fresh, clean water. Second, with the copper-ionization feature, highly active disinfectant ions are released into the water, which create a potent biocide and that attack algae more aggressively than chlorine or other packaged pool chemicals.
Easy Maintenance
Say goodbye to continuously adding chemicals to your pool water--no more ongoing expense and trips to the store. When water evaporates, simply add more water--the salt level will remain the same. Because salt does not evaporate--unless water gets splashed out of the pool--you may never have to add more salt. If needed, non-iodized salt can be purchased at your local pool store.
Even more, its 24-hour automatic timer offers effortless operation--just set it and forget it. For safety, the system's built-in GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) instantly shuts off the pump if the electrical current comes into contact with water. Intex covers the Krystal Clear saltwater system with a two-year warranty.
Specifications
The unit's pump flow rate is measured at the intake of the pump (used to compare pumps), while the system flow rate is measured at the suction fitting inside the pool (used to determine if the suction outlet fitting on the pool is adequate).
