Has intex quality dropped?
Last year was our 5th (I think?) summer with our intex ultra frame 18' pool. Frame is getting rusty and I think our salt water chlorinator has stopped working. Now we're at a cross roads of replacing the Intex or putting in a "real" pool which would be tied to a bigger project of replacing...
