Then there is the cost of running a dedicated GFI electrical service for the pool pump which is required only for permanent steel wall swimming pools.
I’m also not super thrilled that the cover Intex sells as an accessory, blows off in the slightest of winds; a problem if you don’t want to clean leaves and bugs out of your pool each day. If we decide to take down our Intex pool before summer’s end I can pretty much predict that this will be the number one reason why. However, the kids didn’t listen to me (as usual) 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.

All components, especially the hoses and filtration unit, should be stored inside where they will not freeze. But, if these consideration boxes are easily checked off in your situation, then I wouldn’t hesitate to add an Intex metal-frame pool to your summer plans.

It would not be fair to compare Intex Pools to higher-end premium above-ground pools. But, it might surprise you to see how well the Intex Ultra-Frame pools stack up against most of the low-end steel wall pools that make up a more significant part of the entire intex frame pool above-ground pool market.

We purchased the Intex Ultra Frame Pool Set so our reviewer (and her super-excited kids) could splash around and test out its capacity and durability (between Marco Polo games and water volleyball matches, of course). Again, our biggest complaint with the pool is the ladder. It is necessary for climbing in and out of the pool, but its construction could be sturdier. The kids don’t notice it, but once an adult starts to climb on it, the flimsy feeling is pronounced. You can purchase an upgraded ladder, but we’d prefer to see the higher quality ladder bundled with this high-end pool.
