This is also the point where it’s helpful to have a helper inside the pool. Have the helper hold a small Tupperware container over the existing return bulkhead. As you start cutting the liner the suction from the water leaving the pool will hold the Tupperware against the liner and slow the amount of water leaving the pool. This will make it easier to cut since you’ll be able to see what you’re doing. There will still be some water leaking out, but not a lot. Rust is a common problem with Intex and other above ground pools.
Both Prism Frame and Ultra XLR frames use stronger alloy compared to Intex’s metal frame pools. The circular models have T joint legs like the round metal frame intex baby floats, 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. It’s made from durable 3-ply polymer and available in various sizes, and comes with the pool shell, filter pump, hoses, and connection adapters.
Once the ground was ready, assembly only took us an hour or two. It’s possible with two people, but it helps to have three or four. We found that the instructions are very detailed and easy to follow as long as you read them carefully. The instructions are written for a variety of pool sizes, so be sure to follow the directions for your size pool. Besides written instructions, you also can find guidance online that steps you through the process. The pools are all about enjoyment, and the Swim Center Inflatable above ground pool is ready to deliver it all.
The most important thing to do is to follow dosage instructions to a tee. After all, a lot of people swim in lakes and other murky bodies of water. But unless you want a swamp thing going on in your backyard, you’ll want to stay on top of your maintenance. Always use a garden hose filter when filling your pool. We touched on this earlier, but it’s worth mentioning again.
But when it comes down to it, the convenience of inflatable and Intex pools doesn’t have to end with the season. Entry level pools are inflatable and not as high quality as Intex pools that use metal or galvanized steel frames for increased durability and ruggedness. A dirty Intex pool filter cannot be washed, only replaced. Some high end models use a sand filter with a saltwater system. For this type of filter, it only needs to be swapped out every 5 years.
The location of your pool will also influence your decision. Having a breathable material isn’t so important for paddling and kiddie pools since they are often only temporary. If this happens it could cause your pool to shift or at best, you will feel “holes” or dips under your feet when swimming where the animal has been digging. Although it’s easy to put down and level and it may seem like an ideal material, it can easily erode and get partially washed away in heavy rain.
Keep an eye out for dead algae.These blooms are sometimes too small to make it to the filter so they sink to the bottom. If you’re not able to vacuum it all out, try a flocculant that will bind all the small particles together, making them easier to remove. If you add too much, you risk counteracting your chlorine’s effectiveness, not to mention you’ll have to dilute the water and sort of start all over. If you opt for regular ol’ chlorine that doesn’t contain CYA, now is when you’ll need to add some. The easiest way to keep your sanitizer in check is to use an automatic chlorinator.
