Hi Everyone,

Spring is right around the corner and the seasonal pools will start to be unpacked and put together for another pool season. Questions will start to fly as the weather gets better. As a fellow Intex pool owner I have received many emails and pm's about the Intex pool and various modifications I have done to the pool. There are many threads about these pools from other members that have the same, if not better, ideas to make these pools more enjoyable and efficient. I thought I would put together a list of links about these pools. Please feel free to ask questions and post answers on this thread.

Mark, thank you for taking the time to consolidate these links

For my first post here may I say thanks, these are great.

Welcome to TFP!

I take it you have an Intex pool? Let us know what kind. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about these pools. There are many people with these pools so you should get great advice for any of your questions.

We had the 18 x 52 intex ultra frame pool with the combined SWG/pump unit. It gave 2 years of flawless service, my mistake when airing it out to store ruined the liner. We have the 24x52 ultra frame pool on the way.

Hi Mark,
This is also my first post and I want to thank you for contributions here. You've really inspired me again.

I had a 12' intex frame pool back in 2002, bought for my youngest boy and the grandkids.

We are in the UK and found the pool too big for the area we had. My grandson has CP and uses a wheelchair, and I built a ramp from the garden area to the patio, but the pool blocked the ramp access.

Anyways, I emptied my garage and put it up in there, where it stayed for five years. I found another website at the time that promoted the BBB method, and had no problems whatsoever. No-one would ever believe me that I hadn't drained or refilled the pool in all that time.

Not a very good picture of the pool, I know, and I was more concerned with capturing the bar, which was my main priority at the time:

Now my youngest grandchild wants a pool, and the garage is stayng as a garage, so I have had to downsize to a 10' pool on the patio. No big deal for me (until I see all the beautiful pools on this site), but I'm expecting a lot of debris landing on this pool and the first thing I considered was a skimmer.

I wasn't keen on the intex floating skimmer, but your thru' the wall tutorial has given me the perfect answer to my problem.

Hoping to get it up and rinning before this weekend.
Again, many thanks for all your help.
