Intex18Ft x 52In Ultra XTR Frame Round Above Ground Swimming Pool Set with Pump

Bang exceeds the buck by far

We’ve had Intex Ultra XTR pools for the last 9 years. Just purchased, setup and filled our third. We had the 12 x 24 rectangle for 5 years and decided to go with this model for a second time. Setup is a breeze. These pools withstand harsh Midwest winters when left up year-round. The only rust we encountered at any point was when we used saltwater system and it was rather discouraged so we took the risk. The fact these pools last 4-5 years under those conditions means I’ll never consider another brand. For the price, you just can’t beat them. With each pool, we’ve upgraded to a thru-wall skimmer and opted to upgrade pump/filter and valves/hoses. Easy to maintain, fittings are threaded rather than clamped. It’s a win-win. Liner is beautiful and bright. By year 5, liner does fade, but with properly balanced chemicals, maintains its color very well. In 9 years I’ve never had to patch a hole in the XTR. I did patch one hole in the prism line, but can’t even complain about that as it was extremely easy underwater. If I’m looking for something to critique, I’d say the ladder could be sturdier, but hasn’t been worth an upgrade. For the money, you won’t find a better pool. One tip worth mentioning is to not skip the powder on the rails during assembly. Doing so will result in wrinkles in your liner along the rails. Over time, this will result in liner degradation and it will burn skin like fiberglass. However, please note even then, you’ll have years worth of use without issue. If you’re considering an upgrade from another Intex product or other popular soft-sides pools, you will only wish you’d done it sooner. Depending on location and weather, I would suggest leaving the pool up year-round. The liners fare much better with water (frozen or thawed) than they ever will empty once they’ve been filled.

I bought this last summer I love it every thing is still fine my favourite part is how good the pump is

Love this pool!

We have had this pool for 5 summers now. We erect it in October and store away dry and clean in May (we live in NZ). We use it every day and have had no issues at all with either the pump or liner to date. Unfortunately though, I would say this will be it's last summer as the lining around the top edge has perished and the pool has become very fragile - 5 yrs isn't bad though in my opinion. We will definitely replace with the same model if still available.

Great pool!!!

This is a perfect size poolnot only for my family and friends but also for myself.

I love them!

We have owned several intex pools. Starting with the quick setup pool when the kids were little. As they got bigger so did our pools. We are now on our third ultra frame. No, they don't last forever but you cannot beat the price point for how long they last. I love them and will be purchasing another one next year. Recommend the salt water system and rig a skimmer on the pool.

The 32' x 16' x 52" Intex Ultra XTR pool is ideal for those looking for a spacious and durable option. Its galvanized steel frame with corrosion protection ensures stability and longevity. Although installation requires at least two people, the process is intuitive with clear instructions. With a capacity of over 14,000 gallons, it includes useful accessories such as a Krystal Clear sand filtration pump, safety ladder, cover and tarp. Its performance stands out for the efficiency and silence of the pump, and its cleaning system keeps the water crystal clear. Among its advantages are the ample space, durability and included accessories. As disadvantages, it requires a considerable area and regular maintenance. In short, it is an excellent investment to enjoy the summer with family or friends. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Pool basics - what to expect

Expect the pool liner to last 6-7 years - pump not so long. Does not come with a skimmer. Level the ground without sharp rocks 19' feet in diameter - to give you extra room if you need to adjust the location. Set up time 3-4 hrs with a beer or two. (my third pool). Legs must be close to vertical as possible. Took 26 hrs to fill

Bad liners, poor craftsmaship, buyer beware!

Just finished set up and the liner is poorly manufacured. Matetial is ok, but the seams are not done well and will probably leak. Even if they don't leak it will be impossible to clean. I just hope they don't rupture and cause a flood!
