Intex Swimming Pools Reviews-Which Intex Pool Should You Choose For Your Family?

Intex makes some great above ground swimming pools,and hopefully this lens on Intex Swimming Pools Reviews will help!Our family has used the Intex pools for about 7-8 years now and we love them.
Why are these great pools?I'll tell you....
1)Economical-They are much more easily affordable than most above ground pools.
2)Convenient-These type of pools are actually considered to be "portable" or "temporary" pools,because they are MUCH easier to install,take down and store than a normal AG pool.
3)FUN-The best reason to own one of these pools is that your family and you will have FUN together if properly used.
Avoid the hassle of an in-ground swimming pool with all of the fun! Hopefully these Intex Swimming Pools Reviews will help you to decide which model is best for your family!Happy Splashing!

Review Of The Intex Easy Set 18-Foot-by-48-Inch Round Pool Set

An Intex Classic

Intex_pools_reviewsNo site about Intex Swimming Pools Reviews would be complete without the Easy Set 18-Foot-by-48-Inch Round Pool Set.

This is one of the most popular models Intex carries,and we have owned 2 over the last 7-8 years.It is a wonderful product,but not without a few flaws.
Pro's:
*Economical-Good luck ever buying a WORTHY above ground pool at this price,especially for this much pool!We could never afford a "normal" above ground pool,but this pool was pretty affordable. Also uses less chemicals when properly cared for,saving even more $$$!
*Convenient-Easy setup and take down,only takes a few hours.I will note that it is important to level the ground properly before the first time setup.Also easy to maintain,just keep a floating chlorinator at least half-full of tablets,check the water's chlorine and Ph twice weekly,and shock once a week.
*Durable-Made of extremely tough,thick canvas-like material.
*FUN!-These pools really are a lot of fun for the family,and are a great deal for the money. Our last Easy Set 18-foot pool lasted 4 years of fun,so that's pretty hard to beat!

Now as I said,there are a few downsides you should know about as well.......
CONS:
*Not Pet Friendly-Inflatable ring will shred QUICKLY if you have a panicked dog in this pool trying to claw his/her way out.I have had several clients tell me they lost their pool this way.DO NOT put your dog in the pool;it may seem cute until you are replacing the whole pool.
*Pump Could Be Better-I feel that the pump could be a little stronger than 500 gph,but being a professional pool man this is sort of a peeve of mine.While most users report no problems as long as they run the pump 24 hours a day,if you use the salt-water filter you will probably be happier.I upgraded my pump and filter although it isn't really needed.
*Cartridges Don't Last Long-These cartridges only last 2-3 weeks and NEED TO BE RINSED DAILY for best results! I recommend you Buy The 6 Packs to save a little money and avoid a supply shortage in the middle of summer.

All factors considered,I rate the Intex Easy Set 18-Foot-by-48-Inch Round Pool Set at a solid 4 stars!

Intex Swimming Pool Reviews:Intex Ultra Frame 18-by-9-Foot-by-52-Inch Rectangular Pool Set

A Review Of The Intex Ultra Frame 18-by-9-Foot-by-52-Inch Rectangular Pool Set

The Intex Ultra Frame 18-by-9-Foot-by-52-Inch Rectangular Pool Set-A GREAT pool at an even BETTER price!
Easily sets up in about 1-2 hours (with 2 or more people),this Intex swimming pool is a nice pool for the price.Another advantage of this pool is that there is no inflatable ring to puncture (especially if you have dogs).This is NOT a soft-side type pool such as the blue Intex Easy Set pools.Once again,I HIGHLY recommend the upgraded filter pump for this pool,especially in the West to Mid-West US.

Intex Pool Salt Water System

Intex Pool Salt Water SystemHelps keep your pool water crystal clear and algae free,all while minimizing your chlorine and chemical usage.If you have ever used one of these saltwater systems before,I don't have to tell you how effective they are at helping to reduce "red eyes" and dry skin. Salt is only lost through "splashout",or splashing the water out of the pool itself.Important to keep the Ph in check when using.

Features:
*Easy Setup-Easily hooks up into the pools water flow,add specified amount of salt,turn on the pump and filter system;and that's it.
*Reduces Chemical use-The Intex Pool Saltwater System greatly lowers the minimum effective chlorine level for keeping the water clean,which in turn requires less algaecide use.
*Convenient-Control dial allows you to pre-program the timer settings for complete control.

Spend more time enjoying your swimming pool and less time maintaining it!

How Do You Feel About The Intex Above Ground Swimming Pools?

Please leave comments or questions about Intex Above Ground Swimming Pools.....Do you like them? What model do you own?

    The pool itself is good. The problem is with the pump system that comes with the pool. I really think customers should know there is no way this pump will keep this pool clean. I have noticed no mattet what size pool, the pump is pretty much the same for all of them. I own the 18ft x 48in. We struggled all summer and spent almost 500.00 in chemicals to keep the pool clean. No matter what we tried it did not work. We finally had to buy a sand filter pump another 500.00. We spent 1500.00 total before we got the pool to where we could enjoy it. I really think Intex should let their customers know the pump system included may not be adequate enough. I would have not even bothered buying this pool had I know I would have to have purchased a "real" pump.

    Did your pool have a pump that mounted to the side of the pool? If so, how did you hook up the ground pump?
