They’re also relatively cheaper than all the other pool types. If you’re just starting out and looking into dipping your toes into a beginner intex frame pool pool, then this might suit you best. This will fully open the hole under water, so be prepared for a large amount of water to be coming out.
It managed to combat the constant influx of dirt and grime from little feet jumping in and out of the pool. Our younger ones refused to wear flip flops when walking to or from the pool, so they gave this filtration system a run for its money between the bits of grass, leaves, and dirt stuck to their feet. Even with that influx of grime, the water turned from cloudy to clear every time we ran the pump. Overall, this above ground pool is pretty easy to maintain thanks to the 110- to 120-volt Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter pump system, which, according to the Intex website, has a flow rate of 530 gallons per hour. The filtration system was simple to use (switch it on or off as you see fit, and it does the rest), and it proved to be effective at keeping the water clean. Pool chemicals are essential in protecting you and your family from germs in the water.

Cut a flap of vinyl and glue it to the inside of the pool (being sure to also glue it down to the vinyl hanging over the top rail) and then hang it over the edge. The flap hanging over could easily be secured to the leg with a zip tie, or even a magnet.

To test the pool’s resilience, we let a line of rambunctious kids hop in and out and back in again, day after day. A 70-pound child who wasn’t quite tall enough to step over the side to get into the water kept hurling herself up and over, often catching a piece of the frame on her foot. She even bounced while sitting on the side at one point—which, looking back was perhaps not the safest move, and we wouldn’t recommend—but still, she didn’t warp or damage any of the intex frame pool pieces. Once that was done, we simply snapped together the hard plastic support pieces of the frame with the metal ones and secured it with the thick band to give the framework a little bit of extra security against rambunctious kids. The paper instructions were plenty sufficient to get the job done, and it took less than half an hour from start to finish. This pool arrived on our doorstep in one large box, which contained everything we needed to get started.
