Installing the Intex Ultra XTR Frame Pool Set doesn’t take professional skill or equipment but does require site preparation (like many of the pools on this list). You’ll need a level space that’s clear of vegetation, protruding sticks, and rocks, with compacted soil that can support 8,403 gallons of water when the pool is filled. And keep in mind it will most likely take two or three people a few hours to set up.

The Ultra XTR Pool Set with Pump and Saltwater System has all of the features of our Best Overall—also by Intex—with the added benefits of a saltwater system. You’ll be able to enjoy less of a chlorine smell on your skin and hair after hours of swimming.
However, the tubes and the whole construction were adjusted for the capacity and shape. We don’t have T-joints but have an easy intex purespa lock system for quick assemble. However, please mind that such a tremendous reservoir requires about an hour to install.
