    Intex leak on seam

    Last year I bought a 14 foot round Intex prism pool . After about a weak it developed a small leak somewhere near the edge. I couldn't find it so I patched the entire area with old pool liner pieces and underwater sealant. It worked and was fine . The pool was up all winter and it did not leak...

    Liner Issues on Summer waves Elite Frame 14 x42

    I didn't put up my Summer waves in the end. I just bought an Intex instead. I have had problems with leaks on Intex too in the past. If I cant find a leak , I take some old pool liner and patch the entire area of the suspected leak. I use a product called Water Wet Sticky Stuff ( which works...

    Intex legs pulling in due to overtight band

    Pool is now at 22inch (more than half full) but I cant get the legs to pull out any more . The band is too tight. They are only off by about 1-2 cm off being straight. I think I am over thinking this but I was always able to straighten the legs on my old Ultra pool.

    Bestway liner over intex prism liner

    I bought an Intex prism instead. The liner is Just as thin ! ( but at least I have an old intex liner I can patch it with if necessary) I am currently filling. I am having an issue with the band being too tight and pulling some of the legs inward. It's not too drastic so fingers crossed !

    Intex prism leg sleeves and new t - joints

    Hi all I am an old style Intex ultra owner looking to buy a replacement. The new ultras are too big so I am thinking of the prism frame (but those new plastic T-joints and leg sleeves make me nervous ! ) Does anyone own a new style intex with the plastic t's and leg sleeves ? Do the leg sleeves...

    Bestway liner over intex prism liner

    I just purchased a summer waves pool and decided the liner is nasty. It was translucent , a fraction thinner than Intex, gave off a really chemical smell and was full of gritty specks. I am going to return it. Now I am torn between an intex prism and a Bestway steel pro max (new wood effect ) ...

    Liner Issues on Summer waves Elite Frame 14 x42

    Anyone replaced a summer waves 14x42 elite frame liner with a Bestway steel pro max or Intex prism liner? My new Summer waves liner looks so poor that I can't risk putting it up . The frame looks really good and I would like to use that. If anyone has done it successfully I would love to hear.

    Intex pump run Dry

    Hello Thanks for putting my mind at rest. I sometimes close the valves if I'm out all day. It's silly really, but I get paranoid about leaks developing in the pipes. I think I'll leave them open from now on ! Many thanks Gilly

    Intex pump run Dry

    I came home to find my husband had switched the sand filter pump on without opening the valves on the pool. It is an intex pump . It may have run dry for up to 4 hours. It still seems to be working ( maybe a bit more noisy ). Should I be worried and is there anything I need to check? I am...

    Trouble with Ultra Liner Plug

    Hello Cowboycasey I think water pressure is pushing down on the plug and making it open slightly. This has never happened to me before. I have been informed by Intex that they can send me a new liner now if I destroy this one ( or they will let me keep the pool up and send one at the end of the...

    Still not happy with Ultra liner

    Hello All Is is normal / just cosmetic to have the seams folded the wrong way / sticking up in places ? My pool is level with about 7 inches of water in it at the moment. This is a new ultra liner and the worst I have ever owned ( hardened wrinkles straight out of the box and untidy seams ). I...

    Trouble with Ultra Liner

    I have already drained the pool so the picture is not accurate .It is only to give an idea of what happens. (The pool is sitting on an old liner and the pic is taken from the outside of the pool at the base ) . The problem is that the white liner is showing at the base instead of the grey. When...
