I have an ultraframe 18x 52 intex that I have had for 7 years. The original intex pump with sand filter is acting up. It sometimes doesn't want to turn on, other times is fine. This has prevented me from using the timer. I will probably purchase a new intex pool for next year and I want to...

Quality wise, does it go XTR>ultraframe>prism? Anybody?

What is the difference between the prism and the xtr? Does the dark color of the xtr sides make the water warmer?

Intex folks, I need your input!! I have a intex ultraframe that is 8 years old. I installed it June 2014 and have always left it up. Well, it is showing wear, the inner liner is bleached white, I have 2 small patches on it, the metal uprights are getting rusty on the edges. It really is time to...

We have an intex 52" by 18 foot Ultra frame pool with sand filter and pump model SF801110. We leave it up year round, but winterize by removing hoses, reducing water and covering like TFP recommends for permanent above grounds. We have had it for 3 years. Most winters we take the sand filter...

By the way, using a magic eraser and a little dawn soap on the outside keep it looking new.

I am so happy that my pool looks like this :Dwhen I took the cover off today. And this is how clear it is all year long! If there is anyone who is visiting this sight and is wondering if this system works, I can say it does and then some! Two years ago I was a first time pool owner and didn't...

Just opened this weekend (Posted a thank you on this forum) Clean water and tonight just tested the full test: After adding 1 gallon of bleach, FC is 6, TA 70, CYA (added about 1/2 cup) 41, pH 6.8. Gonna bring my pH up a little with borax and do a second big vacuuming (mostly from the pollen...

I just want to shout out a BIG thank you to TFP. We have 18 foot x52" Intex ultraframe that was set up the second week of July 2014. We followed all of TFP guidelines and had a wonderful "half season" last year. Put the pool to sleep for the winter following guidelines and just opened it last...

I calculated the cya, using pool math, BUT I only put in 2/3 of what my calculation was and then tested (4, 6 and 7 days later). The dip stik never read ANY CYA, so I was worried about adding more until I had a firm number, thus the Leslie's test.

OK, pool has been up for about 10 days, looking good thanks to TFP. Been using dipstik guess strips (t100 ordered and on the way!!) and my fc has been good, but cya was 0 despite additions. I have been using bleach, cya granules and borax acc to pool school. So I took sample to leslie's and...

I took your advice, removed most of the water and re-tied the rope, most of the uprights were off the pavers (to the inside), but as it filled, I was able to get all of them onto the pavers! Still, I wish I had made my cushion circle of insulation board a bit larger. I had to wedge some...

Ok, after reading all these good posts I knew I had to have a level and packed site. It took two weekends, but we got it done. I knew I wanted to use pavers under the posts and foam board insulation under the liner. So since the pavers and foam board need to be level, I thought it would be...

Thank you so much! We are trying to decide between two areas in our yard and hopefully will get started on site leveling next week! I am ordering my GOOD test kits now!

Hi everyone!, just joined last night after lurking on your site for a week. I will be getting an intex ultraframe pool next week (18 x 52). I'm trying to do my homework. We will be working on the site this weekend, I have already priced foam, paver blocks for under the legs, etc. I will be...
