    Dolphin E10 for an Intex soft sided pool?

    Idk about the Dolphin ($500?? if I looked up the right thing) but I can tell you from experience that the Intex cleaner ($69) paired with the Intex Sand Filter ($150ish) was the best money I spent with our 26' x 52" Intex and we kept that setup when we upgraded to a 28' x 52" resin frame above...

    Anyone using the Intex Auto Cleaner?

    Just got ours too and we love it!! Very effective cleaner and the price?. I was a little put off by the leaking hoses too but since I received a broken section of hose I have to call intex customer service anyway, I'll ask. I'll let y'all know what they say. Edit:. They said it was normal...
