At most, you’ll have to read a few instructions and connect the frame and some hoses. They’re really one of the easiest pools to put together. Every Intex pool uses a strong, 3-ply polymer material for the pool walls and floor. Although it comes with a cover, the pool must be broken down and stored during the winter months to avoid damaging the pool. Still using the puncture-resistant 3-ply polymer shell, there are multiple sizes available to choose from, and the pool can go up in under 30 minutes. Pool is shallow with only 2.5 foot and 4 foot models to choose from.
However, you should know that the bigger the pool, the longer you’ll have to run the filter pump. The circular models have T joint legs like the round metal frame krystal clear saltwater system cg-26663, 110-120v with gfcis, but the oval and rectangular models need more support and have U-shaped legs. They’re also designed with a light grey exterior to provide contrast to the inner blue lining on the pool. Instead, harness the sun’s power to heat your pool water with an Intex solar pool cover.
No big deal for me , but I’m expecting a lot of debris landing on this pool and the first thing I considered was a skimmer. 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. For as cheap as my Intex pool was and how easy it was to set up, I was absolutely certain that it was not going to last. Intex pools need to be set-up on extremely level ground. At first, I had no idea, but within a few weeks of use the pool did finally expand itself to the full 12-foot size. This 12-foot by 30-inch round Intex pool was the perfect fit for this family.
Because it is foam padded with horizontal beams for comfort, the kids’ will safely enjoy relaxing inside the water. And due to the galvanized steel frame, you can make sure that they will be safe inside the pool that is made to hold the water without a worry. Intex swimming pools must be placed on a flat, level surface consisting of grass, compacted dirt or pavement. Never place the pool on mud, wooden decks, balconies or any other elevated surface. Placing and filling the pool with water on a uneven surface can cause the pool to be unstable, even collapsing and causing personal injury or property damage. Check residential city codes to see if you are required to install a fence around the pool area for safety purposes.
It’s also a good idea to shock your water after big swim sessions or pool parties. That’s when your chlorine is at it’s lowest and working the hardest. But if you wait too long in between testing, your pool chemistry will fluctuate more.
