Intex 15ft x 48in Metal Frame Pool Set
Water capacity is 1,718 gallons (90%) and it is ready for water in 30 minutes. A copper bonding wire is run and touches every part of the swimming pool system. The bonding wire makes it so that everything has the same electrical potential; The dirt the pool sits on, the pool pump, the pool water, the pool frame are all connected to a wire that hooks to a grounding rod. Maximize your pool experience with our largest Ultra XTR™ Frame pool. Classic rectangular shape, elegant graphite liner with water-blue tile print interior and brilliant white copings will make a fashion statement anywhere.
Then all those Intex A-frame ladders provide easy access to even greater depths. The new 52-inch Intex Ultra-Frame pools meet the wall height code but what about all the 36-inch “Easy-Set” Pools that do not? There are 100s of thousands of Intex pools ranging from 6-inches intex purespa to three feet in depth that pose a risk to many neighborhood children. With a Chlorine generator/Salt system, you won’t have to buy half the chlorine you would for a steel wall pool. Softside temporary pools have no such requirement, but it would be a good idea!
The stylish Prism Frame pools with soft gray exterior and the elegant blue tile print interior provide an upscale look to complement modern backyard patio décor and furniture. The perfect pools for younger children and small yards. Intex Rainbow Ring Inflatable Play Center provides a colorful and fun experience with a water slide, ring toss, and water sprayer. If your temps drop below freezing you must drain and take down your pool every year.
All steel wall pools have to have the sod removed; I charge $180.00 to do this and to level a yard that is within 6 inches of grade. If you do not have a level area to install your Intex Pool, you should add this cost. When using a swimming pool, following the safety instruction in the instruction manual and the maintenance instructions is a condition of use. To avoid drowning or other serious injury, please pay particular attention to unexpected access to the swimming pool by children under 5 years old.
Filling the pool takes some time and varies depending on your source of water. We have a well so we could not fill the pool using a garden hose. Instead, our local fire department delivered a portion of the water for the pool. We filled the remainder with water from a pond on our property. The pool holds 8,403 gallons when it is 90 percent filled. The frame snaps together quickly and requires no outside tools to assemble thanks to Intex’s Easy Lock System, which uses a push-button connector to assemble the poles.
Classic rectangular shape, elegant dark gray liner with water-blue tile print interior and brilliant white copings will make a fashion statement anywhere. The Easy Set pools are incredible easy to assemble, easy to maintain, and fun to own. All pool water needs to be balanced and have a sanitizer like chlorine present to protect bathers. First let me be clear and say I would never put a chlorine generator, aka salt system on a steel above-ground pool. The only pool I would ever put a salt system on is an Intex. On the other hand, if you think you are likely to ruin the Intex pool because your handyman-ness is minus five (-5) add $400-$600 to the total cost.
It’s possible with two people, but it helps to have three or four. We found that the instructions are very detailed and easy to follow as long as you read them carefully. The instructions are written for a variety of pool sizes, so be sure to follow the directions for your size pool. Besides written instructions, you also can find guidance online that steps you through the process. We also used a ground cloth (included) underneath the pool and were careful to remove stones, sticks, and other pointy objects before installation.
However, the pump’s waste port does not include a hose and discharges right at the base of the pool and filtration unit. This means it can flood water around the base of your pool or soak the electrical connection if it is on the ground. I also cannot stress enough that Intex metal-frame pools must be set-up on ground that is extremely level and that attaining this may require extra work and costs. First things first, let’s talk about what this swimming pool is. Because Intex Pools are still classed with little splasher and blow up pools, they are not required to meet safety codes and regulations. Surely the bigger 16×32 rectangle, 18, 21, 24 round Intex Ultra-frame above-ground pools should have to achieve the same safety standards as other above-ground swimming pools, but that is not what the law says.
