When you’re not messing around with your pool game, consider this large 24-foot-by-12-foot-by-4.3-foot steel frame rectangular pool. The last two pools of the review, Intex 16ft x 48in and Intex 24ft x 52in, belong to the ultra XTR frame pools category. Comparing Intex ultra XTR vs. ultra frame or prism frame models, we notice that ultra XTR can offer the most durable and lasting support. Both basins have improved galvanized steel frame with inner and outer powder coating.The first model has triangle-shaped tubes and T-joints. Side elements have U shape, and no T-joints are included.
Here, we see the light blue walls with a small pile pattern inside and white frame tubes. The materials contribute to the durability of the model. The stainless steel frame is covered by super-tough laminated PVC material. No easy punctures are allowed as the liner consists of three durable layers. Given its simple design and DIY construction, your Intex pool probably won’t have some of the more advanced problems you might encounter with other pools. Alas, no pool’s perfect, and you might find yourself with a torn liner, a malfunctioning filter pump, or a broken support pole, to name a few examples.
If you’re not interested in a physical cover, you can try one of the liquid solar covers on the market. Just pour it on once a month to help conserve water while gently, and safely, heating your Intex pool. For 10 ft. and 12 ft. (3.7 m) pools, insert the Inlet and Outlet plug into the fitting from inside of the pool, using the provided plug. Vinyl walls make side-suction automatic pool cleaners a poor fit for Intex pools, so stick to manual cleaning if you’re not ready to splurge on an aquatic assistant. Small robotic pool cleaners work well with all Intex pools, except the Easy Set.
So, now, when we considered all Intex frame pools separately, it’s time to perform the face-to-face comparison of each characteristic. Extreme quality and swimming space – that’s all about Intex 24ft x 52in ultra XTR frame. This model is a perfect replacement for more expensive and hard-to-install inground pools. Intex 14ft x 42in model features the same puncture-resistant liner made from three reinforced layers.
The last two kits of Intex ultra XTR frame pools include improved sand filter pumps. Pumps also significantly differ in flow intex frame pool rates, but we’re going to discuss it later in detail. Your backyard is about to become the most popular spot on the block.
Make testing your water part of your daily pool care routine, and it’ll be easy to keep your water where it needs to be—and nip any potential problems in the bud. A simple but effective liquid test kit for chlorine pools and hot tubs. Don’t let the convenience or its potentially temporary installation fool you. Intex pools have all the same needs as the fanciest rooftop intex baby float retreat or humblest suburban “cement pond.” Regular maintenance keeps Intex pools in prime condition. A slightly different take on the traditional rectangular pool, these babies straddle the line between the Easy Set’s convenience and the durability of higher-end Intex pools. The elongated shape fits into narrow backyardsthat might not otherwise accommodate a pool.
