Intex Ultra XTR Deluxe Above Ground Swimming Pool Set, Includes Cartridge Sand Filter Pump, SuperTough Puncture Resistant, Rust Resistant, 24' x 52"

The box is huge and bulky And super heavy you will need definitely a dolly and two strong men to lift and move this they have strap handles to help you pull and slide.. its probably 400lbs or more.. kids will love this.... I have never bought a circle pool before. so this will be a different change from the last index pool I had which was the rectangle one that was 18ft*9 and 53 inches.. this was is a tad bit larger 22ft however its 48 inches. Hopefully the kids won't notice that part but either way im happy.. can't wait for it to get hot now here in phx .

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.

We LOVE this pool. We bought the round 18' x 52" ultra frame pool. It came with a cover, pump, ladder, ground cover and the pool. We bought it in April when there was a deal of the day and Intex pools were 25% off! Plus, we used our Prime card so we got 5% back! I definitely recommend waiting for the price to fall before just buying it because this product has fluctuated in price quite a bit since I started watching it a year ago! Okay now for the details: 1. Pool - super sturdy, heavy liner. You'll definitely need 2 people to move it and set it up. The frame itself is sturdy, but very easy to set up! We were actually impressed with how smoothly the setup process went. It was the easiest part of the whole process. 2. Ladder - slightly narrow and very light. However, after doing some research I found the width of this is fairly common. We plan to upgrade to a safer, heavy duty ladder next year. 3. Pump - took about 30 min to assemble, but is very easy and directions are detailed. It's very easy to use and we love the timer function so we can set it up to turn on/off by itself each day! The pool is super clear too! 4. Cover - this is my biggest complaint about the product. The cover seems to be of good quality, but it will not stay on the pool. It comes with a drawstring type system to hold it on, but even with the slightest wind it blows off. We can't get it tight enough. However, it's not that big of deal because the pool heats up rather quickly in the sun. 5. Ground cover - nice size and it added peace of mind as we set up the liner. *Additional advice - make sure to properly prepare for your pool. We measured, cleared sod, leveled the ground, ran the proper electrical line, and researched the best way to maintain clean water. The research and preparation took much longer than the actual assembling of the pool! I highly recommend this product for the money!

Easy to setup. Leveling is the hardest part. The absolute best thing about this pool is how it heats up and retains the heat. My previous 16ft pool would very rarley get to 80 and would normally sit at 75. This pool rarely goes below 80 and sits at 85 most of the time.

The only good thing about the Intex is the actual pool liner and rim and leg system being closed and extremely sturdy. I’ve had several Intex and the pumps are always at least two grades less than what’s adequate to filter your pool whether it be sand or filter. Ladder is garbage. Otherwise the best soft shelled pool out there on the market.

We actually loved the pool and got so much use out of it. It is well-made and worth the money however it did not come with the ground cover. We used sand on the ground prior to setting it up. Without the ground cover, we had a huge issue cleaning up afterwards, as sand was stuck to the bottom of the outside of the pool due to no ground cover being sent. When taking down the pool, this gave us a huge headache when closing up for this season. Other than this, the pool is so worth it. The sides of the pool were at least 5 feet high!

It only took a few hours for my husband and son to put it together. Very happy and satisfied with it. The only thing is putting the last piece in. Have fun.lol
