I am in Canada and have been trying to find an intex pool since last year. Made the mistake of getting rid of my 5 year old pool at the end of last summer. Finally found a summer escapes same size 16' round at Walmart online. Sold out right after I got mine. Ordered intex sand filter pump...

What is going on with Intex? I cant find a 16 or 18 foot xtr pool anywhere in Canada either.

Sorry, please delete this response

Re: Why do some a frame ladders say "not for use with soft sided or intex" pools?

Re: Why do some a frame ladders say "not for use with soft sided or intex" pools? Thanks for the replies. I am probably going to get the ladder tonight.

Why do some a frame ladders say "not for use with soft sided or intex" pools? Hi, I have read through a number of threads where people have had success with using various different brands of a frame ladders with their intex pools. I have found a good deal on an Integrity A-frame ladder and was...

That makes sense, thanks. I have only vacuumed once so far, but I think I shut off the pump before removing vacuum which was my mistake.

Hi, I rigged up a removable fountain on my intex ultra frame pool. I haven't done any hard plumbing, but thought the kids would like a fountain. I used ABS and the blue adaptor to connect to the water return outlet. I didn't glue the blue piece to the ABS (but did do the rest of the...

That looks like a good part to have found that screws on the inlet properly. I already got the blue one from Intex and am using it it with an old vacuum hose and head from a summer escapes pool. My question is, how do you keep the big pieces of debris from falling back into the pool when you...

Thanks. The pressure was about 4.5 before. I backwashed, but it only took a couple minutes to run clear. It was still at 4.5 after. Water flow is currently strong. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

The pressure gauge seems to be on the normal zone. I have not backwashed at all since the initial set up. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

It is completely full of water when I notice the problem. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

A couple mornings I woke up and notice the flow of water seemed to be half it normally is from my intex sand filter pump. If i shut of the pump, take the cover of the basket or let some air in with the release valve, restart pump, it is back to normal. There is no dirt or leaves anywhere i can...

The Intex I bought came with the 12 inch Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump which seems to be a decent pump for this size pool. No filters to replace either. Make sure you check the box to see which filter the pool comes with if you plan on using the original pump. I think Intex has different...

Your pool looks amazing, especially the deck! I literally feel your pain about leveling, my back is still aching from finishing this past week :)

Hi, thanks for answering my questions during the setup of my Intex 16' round Ultra frame. It gave me some piece of mind as I struggled to dig and level and put this thing together. Reading lots of other posts has really helped. No leaks, within an inch all around and water is a balmly 65 degrees...

Thanks, I was very relieved. It always seems to be that one last thing that is a problem, but for once things worked out! Incidentally, Intex was willing to send me the part I thought was leaking free of charge, just by me uploading an image of my receipt, with no hassle. At least they provide...

OK, just my general incompetence :) I just needed to tighten the cap so the center valve switch would operate independantly of the cap. I was turning both incorrectly. All good!

Hi, Sorry, title is wrong. I meant to say when I move the intake valve to the unlock position, some water comes out underneath the cap that you turn to unlock. It seems to stop after the pump gets going. This is on the Intex ultraframe. Is this normal? The pool came with a sand filter, if that...

good point, i am planning to make it as smooth as possible but I am not too good at it

thanks, I was hoping that was the case!

Hi, I have been digging out a level spot for my Intex round pool. I am only removing, not adding any dirt. I have only had to remove about 5 inches at the worst point. I am going to make sure the frame is completely level, but does it matter if the inside of the circle is complete smooth and...

Thanks for the comments. I will probably go for it. I will check the box and make sure its not beat up. I will also purchase it somewhere that has a good return policy, just in case. Laceygirl, I am jealous that you can start getting ready for your pool set up already. I have to wait until the...

Hi, I am planning to get an Intex 18x52 ultra frame this summer, but have been a little hesitant after seeing a number of complaints about leaks and burst seams in reviews on walmart, etc. Is this really a big problem? It sounds like people on this forum have had success with these pools for...
