Bang Exceeds The Buck By Far

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.

I bought this last summer I love it every thing is still fine my favourite part is how good the pump is

Love This Pool!

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 isn't bad though in my opinion. We will definitely replace with the same model if still available.

Great Pool!!!

This is a perfect size poolnot only for my family and friends but also for myself.

I Love Them!

We have owned several intex pools. Starting with the quick setup pool when the kids were little. As they got bigger so did our pools. We are now on our third ultra frame. No, they don't last forever but you cannot beat the price point for how long they last. I love them and will be purchasing another one next year. Recommend the salt water system and rig a skimmer on the pool.
