    Bent connecting rod (Intex XTR pool)

    I’m trying to set up an intex 16’x32’ and I ran out of time before a party tomorrow.

    Clean a used Intex Ultra XTR 16 x 32 before or after install?

    We purchased a used 1-year old Intex Ultra XTR rectangular pool from someone who couldn't keep up with the maintenance under his trees. We are first time pool owners and we have used TFP as our primary source for all our site prep and future chemical undertakings. The problem is there is some...
