Intex Ultra-Frame Above-Ground Pool Set Review

Without any doubt, the last two ultra XTR frame pools are winners here. They provide the ultimate support for many years. However, if we consider the speed and convenience of assembly, both XTR frame pools are inferior to Intex 12ft x 30in and 14ft x 42in models.

You can also go right to the source and ask the horse, so to speak. Intex has an extensive library of support videos and documents for its products, giving you specific and useful information with just a few clicks. They can also help you with warranty issues, parts, and upgrades.

I can only speak for the environment my particular pool has been in. We had a mishap when we were first trying to clear the water, and honestly, it was my husband’s fault. He put shock granules in the pool without dissolving them. After a while we noticed that we had bleached out the color of the liner on one side. When I walk on it, the texture now feels a little rough in some places, but there doesn’t seem to be a problem with the integrity of it, other than lack of color in that area. I have it on a slightly un-level surface so it can wobble a little bit, but it’s not the ladder’s fault.

It has been stressful having small children around a pool that cannot be outfitted with the same safety measures that a more permanent pool can benefit from. I had considered this from the beginning, but I didn’t fully absorb it until I saw how excited my youngest was to get into the pool whether we were near him or not. However, the kids didn’t listen to me and yet the pool stood firm. And when a nasty storm blew through with winds as high as 50 mph, I held my breath waiting for my beloved pool to collapse; but it didn’t.

The Three Ts got you started down the path to Intex Pool mastery. But to get better performance from your pool and save money while you do it, make the Three Cs part of your pool care routine. Clean and completely dry all pool accessories before storage. Remove all toys, floats, accessories etc. from your pool. Remove all toys, floats, accessories, etc. from the pool.

Another reason Intex pools are popular is their ability to be moved from one area to another. As they are not permanent fixtures, you can adjust your pool’s location to find the most suitable spot. Some people say that assembly requires alcohol to calm the nerves. All frame pieces and liners are replaceable and can be purchased separately through Intex. Include a copy of your original sales receipt to show your proof of purchase. Any credit due will be put back on the original credit card.

If they don’t get a chance to work, all sorts of icky things can build up in a flash. Your filter pumpcirculates the water, evenly distributing sanitizer and other chemicals while intex baby float cleaning the water. This durable above-ground pool is a solid investment, especially if you’re looking for ways to coax the kids into being active under the summer sun.

The second and third pools have reinforced prism frames. The last two models are the most durable Intex pools as their skeletons are made from ultra XTR frame. Intex 12ft x 30in is a model whose metal frame requires disassembling during cold seasons. However, other prism and ultra frame basins can be left up through winter. Just drain your pool and use a pool cover to protect the bottom from debris.

No matter your budget, you can usually find an Intex swimming pool that fits your needs. You may also want to consider a sturdier ladder and better quality cover. The ladder is wobbly, and the cover is thin and tears easily. If you’re looking for an economical pool to fit your tight budget, we recommend purchasing the kit as it comes, and upgrading the next year. You’ll have to be more careful on the ladder and spend more time manually skimming debris off the top, but you’ll still get many hours of entertainment. Most people know before purchasing a pool that there is a certain amount of maintenance required to keep one running at its best.

Color options are almost identical in the majority of cases. All models have light or dark grey liner with blue inner walls. Only the first Intex 12ft x 30in metal frame pool features light blue cover. Extreme quality and swimming space – that’s all about Intex 24ft x 52in ultra XTR frame. This model is a perfect replacement for more expensive and hard-to-install inground pools. Firstly, this frame pool is rectangular and comes close to inground basins in its shape, size, and water capacity.
