Frequently asked questions

The Intex Ultra XTR Deluxe Above Ground Pool measures 18 feet in diameter and 52 inches in height. For proper setup, it is recommended to have a level space that is at least 21-22 feet in diameter, to accommodate the pool and its supports.

This pool set comes with a 2100 GPH Sand Filter Pump, capable of circulating and filtering the water efficiently. Regular maintenance includes backwashing and rinsing the filter as necessary, while sand in the pump should typically be replaced every 5 years.

The pool is designed with SuperTough laminated PVC sidewalls, making it highly puncture resistant. This layering technique, coupled with a robust metal frame that is rust resistant, contributes to the overall durability of the pool.

The pool is designed for easy assembly, with most users able to set it up without any special tools. It features a snap-together frame which simplifies the construction process, and an instructional DVD is included to help guide you through the setup.

  • Awesome pool!
Size: 24' x 52"
I cannot say enough good things about this pool! The pool came with everything, filter, hoses, winter cover, ladder. Not bad to assemble. We purchased a skimmer for the pool worked great. Easy to take care of better than our old pool. Our water was crystal clear a summer. Very heavy duty.

  • Seriously the best investment I've ever put in my backyard
Size: 24' x 52"
Update 05/27/2022: This pool has now been in operation for a couple seasons, and it's still doing GREAT. I had to replace the plates in the chlorinator, and refill the sand in the filter once, and that's it for the heavy maintenance. The water is still crystal clear, the FAFCO heating pad is still kickin, and my kids are still loving the pool. Still absolutely no regrets with this purchase. I was leary at first. Above ground pools are something the Uncle Eddie has in Xmas vacation, that you could imagine him jumping off his RV into. But I live in the South West, where the sun doesn't care if your pool is below above or levitating - the heat spares no one. Instead of investing $80k or more in a fancy pants pool, I spent a fraction of that on a 24' diameter Intex pool and it has been the best money I've spent that I can remember. Super easy to setup - I did it with one person. I already had a flat large area to place it, so all the real hard work was done. Filled it up (took about $350 in water), and then realized that it was going to need two more things to be perfect. I picked up a Chlorinator - also made by Intex - so I wouldn't have to deal with chemicals. I mixed in the salt as directed, and it's been producing chlorine ever since (one and a half seasons later). You can't tell there's salt in the water, and you can't tell there's chlorine either - but my test kits always put it in the proper range (2-3ppm). The second item was a heating mat. I setup the pool at the end of the season, so the sun was already losing some of it's potency here. But at the start of this season, I REALLY noticed it. I have the 4' x 20' heating mat you can get here on Amazon, and it works great. Since the sun started cooking the southwest, my pool has been a steady 80-85 degrees all day long. Maintenance is extremely low. I added a skimmer (the one where you have to actually cut the liner to put in - a littte nerve wracking BUT VERY worth it!!!) and it keeps the surface spotless. I've gone through a couple of pool vacuums (stay away from the Intex one!) and I've settled on a rechargeable one that you just drop in the pool. It takes care of all the big and medium debris that lands at the bottom, but the fine debris has been more of a challenge. A brush with a suction port that ties into my skimmer has solved that problem - I put the pump into bypass and just let it go into the planter. Really the only thing that takes a bit of attention is maintaining the pH level. I find I'm constantly adding the pH lowering chemicals to keep it around 7.6 - 7.8. Not difficult, I just need to not forget to do it. Overall, I probably spent about 3k on everything (pool, pump, chlorinator, heating pad, light, vacuum - x2, did I mention not to get the Intext one? - skimmer, misc hoses and stuff)... and it's been worth every cent. My kids and I absolutely love it, and it's made living in a hot climate so much more tolerable. ... show more

  • Awesome pool!!
Size: 18' x 52"
Absolutely love this pool!! Set up was easy-took me and my two sons about an hour total and that included putting together the ladder. Perfect size and height. Filter works great and I love the automatic timer. Only complaint is the ladder is a little flimsy.

  • Good for a beginner pool
Size: 24' x 52"
First off this is our first pool, and has been a bit of a learning curve. 24’x52” XTR We have had it up for a couple months and have gotten a ton of use out of it already. I kept it in my cart over the winter waiting for a sale, and at Easter they went 25% off. Definitely worth saving for a pop up sale, we saved a ton. And fast shipping from Amazon of course Shipping: Came in one giant box, delivery guy struggled to get in our garage. We had to unbox there and take all the pieces but overall packaged well 10/10 Setup: We had 3 people to set this up, and it completely whooped us. The area was prepped and leveled out, and we did a layer of XPS foam on top to provide a flat surface. The liner weighs a ton, and it is difficult to slip the cross bars through due to the rubber sticking to the metal. This has to be done while someone holds the weight of the rim so the leg can be put on after. And the feet are Terrible! They have nothing to hold them to the post so they will just fall off when trying to adjust. Super annoying. Overall It’s a simple process but extra hands would help a ton here, if we did again we’d have bribed a couple more people to help. Pump is relatively easy to hook up, but depending on your setup the hoses lay on the ground. We resolved by putting a couple zip ties at the T and held them up. *It should be known that we have had to adjust the feet once and will have to adjust more in depth this fall. The weight of this pool once full is crazy. A pretty large portion of our pool on one end started sinking and got to the point of being 3” lower. During the initial prep work we rode over the whole area with a commercial skid steer before tamping with a hand tamp. Even with all that it had nothing on the weight of this pool, seriously. The only way we could fix without draining all water was to drain half, use a bottle jack to lift up posts and add additional pavers. Now after a couple months it has started sinking even more, but finally settled. It is just unbelievable how much this thing weighs, I believe we calculated right at 100,000lbs. We will be draining completely, adding more fill and sand and reinstalling. 6/10 Maintenance: Honestly maintaining it has been super easy. We don’t have any trees, bushes etc around our back yard so the only thing we get in it is dirt, grass clippings and bugs. We purchased one of the basic intex skimmer baskets that clamp on and float inside and it works pretty well. We might upgrade to an in wall skimmer at some point. I bought the cheap index kit skimmer and pole, a big brush to go on the end, and a wireless handheld skimmer. We use weekly shock packets usually the day after heavy use, and keep 3” tablets in the floater. We had to play around with the PH and Alkalinity but got it pretty spot on and has been clear since. The pump for this thing is excellent so far, super strong even with the skimmer basket attachment. Just don’t forget to backwash and rinse every couple weeks(probably more often if you get a lot of debris). We vacuum once a week or just as needed for maybe 20 minutes max. 8/10 (feel like it should come with some of this necessary stuff but I get it cheap pool the moneys in the accessories) Overall I would definitely recommend this pool. It is an affordable option to get into pools without spending a ton on a permanent above ground pool. I recommend expecting to spend at least double the cost of the pool for your setup, chemicals, and maintenance equipment. At first this was the project that just kept sucking money until we finally got everything we needed, now it’s been our favorite part of the yard for the summer. Pros: -Relatively easy setup -Affordable -Great Pump -easy to maintain -great way to get into pools and learn proper care without jumping into the hinge spend of fancier above ground pools Cons: -Doesn’t come with any Accessories -Ladder is junk, extremely wobbly and think plastic/metal -feet don’t stay on and are tiny -Cover is junk, will not stay on pool at all -May need readjusting ... show more

  • Best purchase ever
Size: 26' x 52"
Best thing I’ve purchased in a long time. Huge pool. The pump is surprisingly strong. I was expecting to buy an after market pump but the intex pump is awesome. It did however come with a little pin hole that I had to repair with PVC glue. That hole must have been caused during shipping because this pool is super thick and durable like rhino skin. ... show more
