    Best pool on market for under $400, 15x48 or so? Intex Prism, Ultra or Bestway etc?

    I'm in the same boat as you. My wife purchased the 15'x48" Intex Prism from Target, but I'm wondering if we would be better off with the Ultra or another brand. We have a standard metal frame Intex that was a good pool, but we would like something a little larger and deeper.

    JEC11718, Thanks for the response. Just so I'm clear, I will need to close the valve on the outside of the pool wall, then disconnect the inlet hose, then connect my vacuum hose?

    I recently purchased an Intex sand filter for my AGP to replace the stock paper cartridge filter (I hoping this greatly improves the quality of my water). My question for the forum is, how do I utilize the sand filter to vacuum my pool? I don't have a skimmer attached to my pool, but I did...
