    Are there any Intex Prism owners out there?

    I am thinking the same. Our pipes aren't round though. It's part of what makes the Ultraframe stronger. They are flat on top and rounded on the bottom. I would feel guilty returning a liner that I ordered knowing it wasn't the correct one for my pool. Tha's why I am hoping someone here can...

    Are there any Intex Prism owners out there?

    We have an older Intex Ultraframe 20 X 52 that is in need of a new liner. I am looking for some one to do some measurements on an Intex Prism pool that is between an 18 foot and a 24 foot round pool. Intex doesn't have the Ultraframe liner for our pool but they do have 20 x 52 Prism liners...

    Increase 18' x 52" Intex Ultra XTR to 20' x 52"

    Have you found anything out? We have an Ultra frame 20 x 52 and I was wondering about buying the Prism liner to replace ours.

    New Pool Considerations and Advice Requested

    After enjoying our Intex 20 X 52 for the past few years at two different homes, we are considering/hoping to upgrade to a hard sided AGP next spring. I hope to stay with a 21 X 54 as it should fit the pad I have built for our Intex. I plan to reuse our two year old Hayward Pro 18", 1HP sand...

    Removable deck ladder

    We have the Confer 6000X. I never screwed the ladder to the deck mounts, so at closing I can just slide it up off the deck mounts, drain it and lay it on it's side on the deck. Works great.

    Night Swimming

    Yeah, those flying ants like to float around on their backs in our pool. Curled up with stinger pointing to the sky trying to get anything they find.

    Cutting Larger Intake & Return holes in your Intex

    Looks like the OP hasn't been on here in several years. When we upgraded from the Intex sand filter to a Hayward, we just hard plumbed everything and set up 2 returns with Hayward return eyeballs. No problems except when vacuuming but it seems I am drawing air at a joint somewhere. The...

    Night Swimming

    Looks like a bunch of Tick ants and flying ants to me. Those big ones will chase you down in the pool just to sting you. The bastages....

    Pond Pool

    If you follow the dump and refill advice, call a friend at the local fire dept. Being a small town, I'm sure you know someone. They might be willing to bring you a tanker of water to fill back up with. Never hurts to ask, right?

    Outdoor speaker recommendations

    I know you already have yours but I thought I would share the speakers we have on our pool deck and front porch for others who may be interested. For a hundred bucks a pair you can't go wrong. These are self powered and have Bluetooth built in. All you have to do is mount them on the wall and...

    Show off your AGP Deck please!

    Here is ours from the rooftop. The lower deck was built off of our mobile home before we moved. We moved it and attached it to the main deck we built on the back of the house. I plan to extend it about 12 feet down each side of the pool this year to create more privacy.

    What did you do to your pool today?

    Not today, but Friday I added a good bit of muriatic acid because our TA was higher than I wanted it. Saturday morning I aerated a while to raise Ph back up after dropping TA. We also installed a pair of Pyle Bluetooth outdoor speakers that Deb got for Christmas so she can have her tunes in...

    Did a little upgrading and now have questions.

    So, over the winter we bought a new sand filter for our Intex pool and as part of the process, I hard plumbed it to the pool to reduce drag inside the plumbing, and well, to be perfectly honest, so that I can say I hard plumbed our pool. Ha! Since hard plumbing and upgrading to the Hayward...

    Hanging a rectangular Intex Ultra Frame Pool directly from the pool deck

    I assume the coiled hose is to heat your water. How do you circulate it?
