Hi guys. I've had an Intex 18 foot pool up for a few years and it's been great, but I'm taking it down this year and thinking about upgrading to a 27' AGP. I'm looking at this model. Anyone have experience with it? I'll probably want to do salt water too: Element 52 Deep Above Ground Pool

I found someone giving away a 27' Atlantic above ground. I went to look at it. I think he said it's 5 or 8 years old. Don't remember exactly. Some of the top rails have edge rust. The rest of it looks great. I'm not sure what may be under the liner and on the legs, but overall, it looks...

I've had an Intex sand filter and pump on my 18' above ground Intex for a few years now. Been working fine. This year, I'm having some issues where when the pump turns on, it's sucking air and the filter basket isn't filling with water fast enough. I have it on a timer, so I hate to have it...

I'm looking to add a Hayward wall filter to my 18' pool. I have an Intex sand filter pump, so I think it's strong enough for what I want to do. Is there anyway to keep the stock intake working with the wall filter? It would be nice to have more intake under the water, as well as with the...

This is my 3rd year with the intex SWG. I haven't had any issues. This year, I'm getting the low salt error, which I've had before and has been fixed by adding salt. This time, adding salt doesn't seem to be making a difference. I checked the plates and they look brand new. No buildup. I...

I've seen people that have done this as to protect the filter and SWG from the elements. Wondering if it's a good idea? I found a good size rubbermaid deck box on Craigslist for $100, and I'm contemplating getting it. Is it really necessary? Will it prolong the life of the filter and SWG...

I'm planning on winterizing my 18' Ultra Frame this year and leaving it up in NY. I'm going to disconnect the valves and hoses. Do I need to do anything with the holes left in the liner from the valves? Or can I just drain the water below there and leave them open so any extra water will just...

First year with my 18' Intex Ultra Frame. All has been great, but today, came home to a leak, which seems to be on a seam near the bottom. I patched it from the inside where I think the leak is, with hopes that it actually worked. We'll see. Question is, how long is the warranty from Intex...

I have my Intex SWG and sand filter just sitting out there in the elements. I know they're designed for this, but just wondering if there's a quick easy way to make a cover for them so they're not that exposed? Just wondering what other people have done. Thanks.

First year with an 18' above ground Intex Ultra Frame. I filled it with well water, and when I shocked it, it turned brown. Metal Out fixed the issue, but I haven't put chlorine back in it since, other than the floating tablet, so the chlorine level is very low or non existent. If I use...

I haven't installed the over the wall skimmer since I think it's a piece of Crud, so the only intake is the intake on the wall under water. I want to buy a manual vacuum today when I go get my water tested, but I have no idea what I need to buy. Will I simply take some hose and plug it into...

I just got my 18' ultra frame pretty much full with well water. The bottom is slippery, so I'm assuming the algae is starting to grow. My question is this. I also bought the separate salt water generator. Should I bother shocking it? Or should I go right for dumping the salt in and start...

Anyone know exactly how the timer on the intex sand filter works? If I set it on 4, does it run for 4 hours, then stop, and then turn on after 4 hours again and continue in that pattern?

I'm putting up my 18'x48" Intex Ultra Frame pool this weekend. I also have the larger 2650gph Intex Sand filter. What vacuum can I get to use with this and how do I connect it? Eventually I'd like to put the in wall skimmer in (I hate that it doesn't have this like the regular Intex pools...

My father has a Kreepy Krauly that my brother gave him years ago which he never used. He gave it to me, but from what I'm reading, it's for an inground pool. Just wondering if you guys think it would work with an 18' Intex Ultra Frame? Thanks. http://www.amazon.com/Pentair-K70405-Au ...

Is this a problem? I put it up and started filling it and found that it's about 5" off level, so I want to empty it and dig a bit more, but may not have a chance to dig for another week or 2. Will the sun damage it while it sits? I know I've read that these liners are designed for the sun, so...

I'm going to start filling my newly put up pool, but I'm afraid that I'm going to stain the liner as the pool fills. My water is from a well and has issues with iron. I know because we have to clean our toilet often to prevent rings. I'm afraid that if I let the pool sit at certain levels as...

I put up my 18' Intex Ultra Frame this weekend, and I'm just trying to figure out how to place the pavers. I have 2"x6"x18" concrete pavers and I'm going to put one up under each leg, but what I'm finding while the pool is temporarily up is that the legs are not straight, and I assume they...

I'm putting up a 20' Intex round ultra frame this year, and just wondering what the consensus is for landscaping the rest of the bare dirt around the pool? I was thinking some stone, but I don't want the stone sitting directly against the wall of the pool. What options are there? Thanks.

This will be my first year putting up an Intext 20x48 pool, and I want to put some insulation board under it. I recall someone posting a diagram of how to lay it out and tape it all together to minimize the waste. Does anyone have that link? Just curious as to how many boards I will need.

So this year we decided to purchase an 18' Ultra Frame, but we got everything late in the season, and being in NY we decided to wait until next spring to put it up. This gives me more time to prep the area. From the pics, you can see I have some rocks to move, but if I plan on putting down a...

I've gotten some good deals on the pool and filters, but being from NY, there's no point in me putting the pool up now, so it will stay in the garage for the winter. I've cleared out a 20 foot circle for where I plan on putting the pool, and I ran electric underground to a post so that part is...

Been holding out on getting one of these, but at this price, I couldn't pass it up. I haven't even setup my pool yet as I'm waiting to have some trees taken down, but this is quite the deal from what I've seen. http://www.amazon.com/Intex-650-Gallon- ... and+filter

I can get it for $200 shipped. I assume that's a good price. Any chances of it going cheaper during the winter? Also, I'm considering the salt version which I can get for $359 shipped, but I'm still not sold on it. I've heard mixed things about salt. I'm also concerned it will speed up any...

So I ordered an 18'x48" ultra frame from Walmart. It's scheduled to be delivered this week, but I'm having some trees taken down (hopefully this week) and I don't want to install it until the trees are down as to avoid any damage. I live in NY, so I doubt putting it up now will be worth it...

I'm getting ready to install my Intex 18', but with all I'm reading, I don't even think I should bother putting it up this year by the time it arrives. It's scheduled to be delivered by 7/25, and being in NY, I'm not sure if I should rush it this year. Anyway, all this reading about leveling...

I ordered the 18'x48" round Intex Ultra Frame pool. I plan on going with one of the intex sand/salt filters. What's the best one to get for my size? The 14inch or 16inch? I've read that an overpowered filter isn't good. I'd like to save a few bucks and get the 14inch, but if I should get...

Hi guys. New to the forum here. Great site and seems like lots of great info. I'm looking into my first backyard metal frame pool and I'm torn between the Intex Ultra Frame 18x48. I was about to pull the trigger until I was in Kmart and saw the Pro Series 20x48. The extra 2 feet would be...
