Hi, welcome to TFP! Most of the intex pools perform well if they are properly installed. It is very important that these pools be installed on level ground with pressure treated wood supports under each leg. The wood must be inset level with the ground, and it should support the entire width of each pool leg. Always dig down to level, do not try to build up the low side.
Many of our members modify their intex pools so that they have a skimmer to help keep the pool clean.
