However, you’re supposed to empty it daily after cleaning the pool. There are different types of vacuums, but the working principle makes them different. They all work by drawing water and passing it through a filter system.
The filtration unit has six functions, including standard filtration, backwash, rinse, re-circulate, waste/drain, and closed. This versatility makes it easy to clean the pool, clean the sand, and drain the pool. Intex has two types of swimming pool — Easy Set and Oval Frame — that require an air pump to set up as they feature an inflatable ring on the top edge of the pool. Use the Intex brand manual air hand pump or any other regular air pump to inflate; avoid high-pressure air pumps such as air compressors, which can cause damage to the pool. All other types of Intex swimming pools do not require an air pump.
Spacious and strong with steel frame and durable laminated PVC sidewalls. All-inclusive set with sand filter pump, ladder, ground cloth, cover, maintenance kit and volleyball set. If you want the most durable 26663eg, a vinyl model with a premium metal frame is your best bet. It offers a strong steel frame that is treated to resist rust, as well as laminated triple-ply vinyl sidewalls.
Even if you’re regularly testing and cleaning your water, it’s still a good idea to shock the pool each week. And unless you’re adding chlorine every single day, odds are your water can use the chlorine boost by the end of the week. For the cleanest water, remember to clean out your pool filter at least once a month. This ensures the best performance and energy efficiency. The proper pH level for Intex swimming pools is between 7.4 – 7.6.
Intex pumps also have a built-in ground fault circuit interrupter that automatically shuts down the pump if any electrical current is exposed to water. But if you don’t have the room in your yard, or the gold coins in your McDuck vault, for a traditional swimming pool, Intex pools offer a budget- and space-friendly alternative. Want a pool that’s easy to set up in the spring and then store when summer ends?
Filter pump needs to work longer on large pools and will also use up filters faster than with smaller pools. Be sure to use a ground tarp underneath it so the shell doesn’t get damaged. An oval model with slight wall reinforcements is also available, which could be better for those interested in swimming laps. Not everyone has the space or financial freedom to install an inground pool in their backyard. Discounts do not apply toward shipping, handling and freight fees, taxes, the purchase of select items, or previous orders. You’ve got everything you need to choose, maintain, and enjoy your 26663eg this season—and in the years ahead.
Packed as a play center, it includes a water slide, wading pool, water sprayer, and ring toss game. Moreover, with the 4 inflatable rings included, it will bring the party in your yard in only a few minutes. Super-tough laminated PVC has been used as the main material for the construction, delivering a design that is made to last.
However, as with any swimming surface, you should use caution and children should always be supervised. This pool is equipped with a 2,100 Gph Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump that does an outstanding job at filtering the pool. It uses two inlet ports and one outlet port to circulate all the water effectively. We filled our pool with pond water, and the water was crystal clear after only a few 12-hour filtration cycles. The filter uses Intex’s Hydro Aeration Technology, which pumps air into the water during filtering and helps to remove sediment and other small debris.
Moving the draining water around will be very easy because the drain plug can be connected to a garden hose. But even though it is very durable, it should not be set up on the sand, mud, or loose soil. There are a few areas where Intex missed the mark, though. It can pump to waste, which is useful for draining off some water if you’ve overfilled the pool. However, the pump’s waste port does not include a hose and discharges right at the base of the pool and filtration unit. This means it can flood water around the base of your pool or soak the electrical connection if it is on the ground.
