Intex Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump

This pump is designed for above-ground pools that require a high flow rate for effective filtration. While specific pool capacity varies, its 3,000 gallons per hour flow rate is typically ideal for larger above-ground models that need robust circulation to maintain clarity.

Hydro Aeration Technology injects air into the water stream as it returns to the pool. This process improves circulation and filtration, resulting in clearer water and an increase in negative ions at the water's surface, which can help the water feel fresher.

The control valve allows you to manage the entire filtration system with a single handle. You can easily switch between filtering, backwashing, rinsing, recirculating, draining, and closing the system, making routine maintenance much simpler than with standard cartridge filters.

No, the pump features a built-in 24-hour timer. You can set it to run for a specific duration each day, allowing you to automate your pool maintenance and ensure consistent filtration without needing to monitor it constantly.

The strainer basket acts as a pre-filter to catch large debris like leaves and bugs before they reach the sand bed. This prevents clogs, makes cleaning much easier, and significantly extends the lifespan of the filter sand.
