Inflatable Pools for Summer

5 CDL
We ’ ve had Intex Ultra XTR pools for the last 9 years. Just purchased, setup and filled our third. We had the 12 x 24 rectangle for 5 years and decided to go with this model for a second time. Setup is a breeze. These pools withstand harsh Midwest winters when left up year- round. The only rust we encountered at any point was when we used saltwater system and it was rather discouraged so we took the risk. The fact these pools last 4- 5 years under those conditions means I ’ ll never consider another brand. For the price, you just can ’ t beat them. With each pool, we ’ ve upgraded to a thru- wall skimmer and opted to upgrade pump/filter and valves/hoses. Easy to maintain, fittings are threaded rather than clamped. It ’s a win- win. Liner is beautiful and bright. By year 5, liner does fade, but with properly balanced chemicals, maintains its color very well. In 9 years I ’ ve never had to patch a hole in the XTR. I did patch one hole in the prism line, but can ’ t even complain about that as it was extremely easy underwater. If I ’ m looking for something to critique, I ’ d say the ladder could be sturdier, but hasn ’ t been worth an upgrade. For the money, you won ’ t find a better pool. One tip worth mentioning is to not skip the powder on the rails during assembly. Doing so will result in wrinkles in your liner along the rails. Over time, this will result in liner degradation and it will burn skin like fiberglass. However, please note even then, you ’ ll have years worth of use without issue. If you ’ re considering an upgrade from another Intex product or other popular soft- sides pools, you will only wish you ’ d done it sooner. Depending on location and weather, I would suggest leaving the pool up year- round. The liners fare much better with water( frozen or thawed) than they ever will empty once they ’ ve been filled.

We have had this pool for 5 summers now. We erect it in October and store away dry and clean in May( we live in NZ). We use it every day and have had no issues at all with either the pump or liner to date. Unfortunately though, I would say this will be it's last summer as the lining around the top edge has perished and the pool has become very fragile- 5 yrs is n't bad though in my opinion. We will definitely replace with the same model if still available.

Let me start by saying, I was shopping for in- ground pools. However, with the quotes I was getting( 75- 90K) I knew I would n't be getting one this summer. So, I started shopping for ground pools and found this one. It has held up like a champ. It says ready for water in 60 minutes... not for us. It did take longer than 60 minutes to get it together. You have to fight a little with it to get the final connection together if you 're not careful to get the spacing just right at the other connection points. Once that was done it was a breeze. It does take at least 2 adults to put up. My 12- year- old son and I tried on day 1 and let's just say I had to call for help. On day 2 we had it up and started filling it with water. This is where it helps to have 2 people to smooth out the wrinkles. With one inside the pool on your hands and knees pushing outwards while the other is outside the pool pulling from the bottom. It went smoother and we had ALL the wrinkles out within an hour. My grandkids and kids have both enjoyed it. I would buy this pool again. Best part the kids did n't have to wait another summer to swim. This is a great option if you do n't want to finance or pay upwards of 80K for an inground pool right now. It has been super easy to maintain. I did upgrade the pool ladder because the one it comes with did n't feel sturdy enough. I love the sand filter, super easy to clean and it keeps the pool crystal clear. Also, no need for a pool heater here in Texas. Our water has been a constant 90 degrees already. I wish I could purchase a shade that attaches to the pool because we do n't have any trees to shade the pool from this Texas heat. I 've looked at other shade options, however, it would ne nice to keep everything Intex brand. I did buy the Intex 28005E ZX300 Deluxe Automatic Pool Cleaner and love it. It gets all the grass from the bottom. I also got the Intex 29080E B00GSPHTLY Foot Bath Pool Ladders and it works well in catching the grass from the kiddos feet. Intex I hope you are reading these... Do you see the pattern? All Intex, that is why I wish you all made the canopy shade for my pool. Hint Hint
