Intex Ultra Frame Swimming Pool - 18 Ft x 9 Ft x 52 In - Saltwater System

Comments about Intex Ultra Frame Swimming Pool - 18 Ft x 9 Ft x 52 In - Saltwater System:

My only suggestion is that in the instructions you add a list of tools required. We went to set it up and it required 12 (18x9 pool) 18x18 x 1 1/2 inch plywood squares under each leg. We were able to purchase cement patio blocks for $2.00 each. It was dis-appointing though, to get to that step and not be prepared. Great quality [...]

This really is a great pool for the price. It really is a sturdy design. It really is an easy set up. It does take a few people, but that isn't the same as saying it is difficult. The copper and salt systems on the 2010 model we got are probably a great idea. The pump capacity on the 2010 has been increased. This was a concern for folks writing earlier reviews but the company faced it and fixed it. We have had more rain than usual this season so adding more salt was necessary. We had to buy some PH level decreaser but that is also no surprise. This is our very first pool and have not yet felt confident in getting the balance of Ph, salt, and algae. When the water runs through the pump, it runs through a copper unit that really does decrease the green tint of algae in the pool rather quickly. The deluxe cleaning system is well designed and useful. The skimmer is also a great asset, well designed. As far as putting padding under the pool, we used fleece fabric instead of blankets or carpet padding or styrofoam that i read as suggestions in other reviews. They were all much more expensive than the fabric. No one seems to be complaining. So all in all, the product seems great. we are just not yet masters at the balance of ph and such. That is not the pool's problem. It should be an investment for years to come that is large enough and sturdy enough to not need replacing soon. Many people buy a pool and upgrade soon. We will probably not need to do this. We succeeded in buying a good quality, large pool as our first pool. thanks, Meijer. We would not have considered this much pool if the price was not great.

The pool is very easy to assembly. Although i did take the time to laser level all patio blocks that the braces lay on.. That took a little time but after that it was a snap..Pool stays very clean with the salt water system..You do have to add 120lbs of softner salt to pool when you fill it. Only about 20.00 dollars. Pool looks great, and is very durable. I didnt think i would enjoy the pool so much, but we do. Everything you need is in the box..all except the salt. I have no regrets about this purchase..I love it..Had pool for 2 months now and never had to add any chemicals to it. Paper filters are 10.00 at [...] i have only changed mine once..

This was one of our best purchases! My kids love it! I love it! Easy to set up. The saltwater filter is a great addition. I wasn't sure how it would be with saltwater, but it is way better than chlorine.

I set this pool up two weeks ago in about 2 hours by myself. Level ground is a must. The pool went together very easily and has a sturdy frame. After filling the pool and hooking up the Saltwater system it ran great for a week. The Filter pump continues to work but the Saltwater System will not function anymore. I called Intex directly to get a solution and no questions asked they are sending a new one. All I had to do was fill out a short and simple claim form that they emailed me and return it. [...] quite honestly I was expecting a nightmare but it was very smooth. I used the pool all weekend with my family and they love it. Even though I have had an issue already the company remedied it immediately and I look forward to a great summer in my pool.
