Pros
- Sold and shipped by Amazon.com — no third-party seller between you and the warranty
- The same deep owner record as the QS1200
- Right-sized for small pools, where the bigger unit would be wasted
Cons
- Storable pools only, by Intex's own manual
- The rating is shared across every Intex salt size, so it is not this unit's own number
- Owners report the same one-to-two-season life as the QS1200
- At 5 g/hr it is too small for anything past about 4,500 gallons
The same as the QS1200 it shares a listing with: output that fades within one or two seasons, and a low-salt light that stays on with the salt correct.
