Intex 14X42 Ultra Frame discontinued, need replacement

I'd avoid the Bestway with windows. My Coleman leaked last year. They replaced the liner even though the warranty was expired, but it was still an experience I'd rather not have had.

We had a 14x42 Summer Escapes(now called Summer Waves) pool for years. I only upgraded to the Intex XTR for the larger size since the kids got bigger. The Summer Escapes/Waves was a good pool once all the upgrades were done(intex sand filter, intex hoses and fixtures, etc.) When we switched to the XTR, we used the thru-wall skimmer from the Summer Escapes on the XTR and it worked fine, like it always had, until the Black Walnut trees from the neighbors yard had a great year and dumped all their leaves in my pool. That clogged up the skimmer(old round type), caused it to collapse and crack. The new Summer WAVES skimmers are built better, it appears, and I was able to help my neighbor adapt his Summer WAVES 14x42 to Intex much easier than my old Summer Escapes was to do. I, personally, would recommend the Summer Waves pool. It will take some adapting to Intex pumps and hoses, but it can be done.

Yep, but get online at the end of summer and see if there are any clearance sales on pools. There may not be this year, but it's worth a shot.

I have a 14x48 Best way in the camo print, and this is it's second year. No leaks except the ones I caused. I have a 0.5 hp pump and sand filter on it, plus the Hayward skimmer. Perfectly happy with it. Got it online from Wal-Mart.
