Thanks!

Hi All, I have an Intex Ultra Frame Pool 18x48 that I purchased new last year. I am wondering if hayward or anyone else makes a standard above ground skimmer that fits one of these pools without me having to cut new holes in the pool. The existing hole is very low so I wasnt' sure if this...

Connie - Can you explain what you do with the bleach bottles? do you fill them or leave them empty and do you anchor them so they are in the center of the pool?

Dan, I plugged my skimmer hole with a 3 inch plumbing plug. I left the fitting in the top hold and but a screw on pvc cap on it. I just bought a 27 foot winter cover that should easily account for the 2 ft of drop off on each side of the pool...it comes on Wednesday so Ill let you know how...

I have drained my pool roughly 24 inches to get a few inches under the skimmer hole. From what I see you want your cover to sag almost straight up and down and rest on the water to avoid excessive weight on the frame. My pool is 18' so I am thinking of going with a 21' cover (actual size is...

I have drained my down about 6 inches and that gives me a total of a 24 inch drop, so an 18' winter cover doesn't work because it is stretched and doesn't sit on the water. I am afraid if we get a lot of snow ice build up on the cover it will either come off or it will pull top of the pool in...

Mod Edit: Question came from this thread. Moderator Linen Any thoughts on this? I have drained my water below my skimmer at thsi point and have added my chemicals. I covered it with my solar cover to keep debri out until I have a better idea on how others have closed their intex pools - your...

Sgt - I am also thinking of leaving my intext ultra frame up - let me know what you come up with for plugs for your inlet and outlet holes.

What have other folks used to plug the holes in the side of the intex pools? I am nervous about draining 6 inches below because that seems like more than half the water and really makes the sides seem unsturdy. What have other intex owners had success with?

Hi all - i live in northern PA, we get a lot of cold and snow in the winter. I have an 18x48 intex ultra frame pool and am wondering if I should winterize and leave it up this winter. Has anyone with the same type of weather had luck doing this and for how long? I was going to use chemicals...
