This is why you might want to use an Intex pool with a sand filter.

Intex Krystal Clear sand filter pump will keep your pool water clean and safe. Sand filters are the most common way to keep pool clean. Sometimes, they can pick up more small algae and dirt particles from your pool.

How much sand is required for Intex pool filters? What media type and size should I use for the INTEX Sand filter system? The preferred type of media is No. 20 grade silica, with specifications of 0.45 to 0.85mm (00.018 to 0.33 inches), with a Uniformity Coefficient lower than 1.75.
