intex krystal clear

Intex Krystal Clear offers two main filtration types across its pool sets: sand-filter pumps (sand filtration systems) and cartridge-filter pumps (cartridge filtration).

Product listings commonly show sand-filter pump heights around 8.19 inches, widths roughly 15–27.13 inches, depths about 17–22.25 inches, and weights in the range of approximately 36.4–50 pounds.

Many Krystal Clear sand-filter pumps include a built-in 24-hour timer with presets (typically 2–12 hour cycles). Some models feature digital timers that run up to 12 hours. The saltwater system is described as having an intuitive control panel for scheduling and cleaning functions.

The 6-position valve supports the standard sand-filter maintenance steps: backwash, rinse, recirculate, drain, filter, and closed.

Flow rates span from roughly 330 GPH for smaller cartridge/skimmer units up to about 3,000 GPH for larger sand-filter pumps. Common sand-filter ratings shown include 1,500; 1,600; 2,100; 2,800; and 3,000 GPH, while cartridge/skimmer items typically range around 330–800 GPH.

Filter sand is typically replaced about once every five years. Many sand-filter pump bundles include 50-pound bags of premium pure silica angular filtration sand.

The bundled sand is described as premium pure silica angular filtration sand in 50-pound bags. Its pure silica composition and angular grain shape are said to improve dirt-and-debris capture, increase filtration efficiency, reduce backwash frequency, and deliver sustained clarity.
