karenf898 says "okay pool for the money" about Intex 15X42" Frame Set Pool

We bought one of these pools and had it for 2 summers. By the third summer the poles were rusting out and we put gorilla tape over the holes to prevent anyone from getting hurt. We had to replace the filter every summer that we used the pool. We always took the filter system out to store for the winter. Also the hoses don't last for more than a summer. We also had a problem this last summer with the chlorine levels not being right. The pump just wasn't big enogh to pump all that water. My kids ended up getting chlorine burns on their skin(not fun).The next pool we get will have the saltwater filter system. No more chemicals to deal with.

dka says "Kids love it, large enough for adults to cool down in." about Intex 15X42" Frame Set Pool

dka — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 23:13:20 GMT

We have had our Intex pool for about 3 years. It has been a great pool for our two kids. It is not too big but not too small. Big enough for adults to get into on those hot hot days and cool down. About the right size for 2 to 4 kids depending on age. Our pool has held up well but we have had to replace a few poles due to rust. For 3 years of use I'd say we have gotten our moneys worth out of it. Pump has held up well but we have had to replace the hoses, should be a bit bigger though. We also use a salt water chlorinator which is great.

I don't really have any complaints other than I wish Intex would make the poles a bit stronger and more rust resistant and put a larger pump with it. The liner is very durable.

Great summer fun for the kiddos.

I had bought one of these pools for my kids last summmer for our annual 4 of July party. I was really suprised at how easy it was to set up. It even came with an instructional DVD to help. Very easy to keep clean with the filters too. And to my suprise it was big enough for all 4 kids and 6 adults. And now that winter is settling in it was a snap to take down. I can't wait to set it up again next summer. I would recommend this pool to anyone thats looking for an inexpensive way to have some great summer fun....

elizabethkadcock says "I would by this pool instead of a permanent pool!!!" about Intex 15X42" Frame Set Pool

elizabethkadcock — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:22:54 GMT

I bought this Intex pool two summers ago and I love it. It is the best investment I have ever made. We used the pool everyday and we took it down at the end of the season. It is so easy to put together and take down. It stores very nicely too. The one thing that made me a little nervous was the metal bars, they started leaning towards the end of the summer. It never fell over though! I also did not like the ladder so I went and bought a plastic one where the one side flips up for safety reasons. For the money you pay for this instead of a permanent one, I do think you save a lot of money. We are military and we move a lot so it is nice we can take it with us and move with it. ...

CasinoHost says "Best money spent all summer" about Intex 15X42" Frame Set Pool

CasinoHost — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 01:05:23 GMT

I bought this pool in early June at sale at a Meijer store. I have too say I am so happy I bought this pool. Set up was easy, but I did have hubby rent a bobcat and level out our yard where it sits since there was a four inch drop from one side to the other. It is really big and deep for the little money we paid for it. I have never had a pool before so I bought one of the starter sets that have the chlorine tablets and shock in it and I haven't had any problems so far. I did find that the "vaccum" attachment wasn't doing such a great job so I bought some tubing and a real vaccum and pole for the pool. Made a huge difference. I do agree with other people that the filter pump should be larger for a pool of this size but we actually keep the thing running 24/7. Pool is always clean. The skimmer works well too. I hope to have this pool for a couple of years. If I could recommend anything to the manufacter it would be to upgrade the filter and start making a real vaccum....

Intex Metal Frame Pool

What is it?
Intex Metal Frame Pool is an above ground pool that you put up and take down, seasonally. It is not a permanent pool. Basically, it's a pool liner that is held up with PVC piping. It also comes with a filter, cover and ladder. The Intex Metal Frame Pool can be bought in most retail stores.

My Viewpoint!
I bought the Intex Metal Frame Pool last summer at Target on a whim. I really wanted a pool for my family that didn't require me to sit on my knees or empty nightly. I also didn't want a permanent pool because those are way too expensive.

As I was cruising by the summer section, I noticed the Intex Metal Frame Pool on sale and without thinking, bought it. I am so glad that I did!

The Intex Metal Frame Pool has provided my family (and friends) with countless hours of fun in the summertime. It's tall enough so we don't have to sit on our butts in the pool to completely cool off and wide enough where the whole family can swim together and not...

jokergirl1975 says "A great Wally World special, low cost pool!" about Intex 15X42" Frame Set Pool

jokergirl1975 — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:27:05 GMT

My husband and I LOVE our Intex above ground vinyl pool! We've had it for about a year or more. Taken it down to re-level the bottom here recently, bought pool floaties/toys and a robot vacuum pool cleaner, a new saltwater generator pump. We have "little" maintenance to do now with the new saltwater system than before. No more chlorine chemicals, no more algae! That's the only drawback was the pump in my opinion didn't pump enough gph so we now have a 2,000 GPH. Our friends and family come over and enjoy it also. The sun heats up the vinyl which heats up the water during the daytime....at night it's wonderful!! Inexpensive and movable, not a permanent fixture! ...

tarakaieking2006 says "lots of fun, expensive up keep, hard work" about Intex 15X42" Frame Set Pool

tarakaieking2006 — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 14:15:02 GMT

This pool is great for the price. It is big enough for our family of four and to have a few friends in too. The set up as far as the pool its self is easy but you have to have a level spot. that is the hard part. you also need to buy the sand to go under it or you will end up with a hole in the bottom at the end of the summer. The chemicals get to be really expensive as well. The pump is a joke so you relly need to go to a pool store and but a good one to keep the price of chemicals down. The feet of the poles are way to small and the pool will not stay strudy so you have to make your own platforms for them to give a better stability. The plastic pegs rot quick and break so you end up having to replace them or go buy bolts and nuts insted. If you think you are buying this pool and it will be easy all you do is follow directions and you are good to go forever think again. it is alot of work getting the ground ready and upkeeping it once you get it up. The equipment does have to be replaced......

nwilliams79 says "Save your money!" about Intex 15X42" Frame Set Pool

nwilliams79 — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 03:11:36 GMT

I purchased an Intex round metal framed 48"x24'. First, it's not an easy setup, lots of work! The day after setup it collapsed because the feet on the metal poles are too small and therefore sunk into the ground. Called Intex-horrible customer service, asked for a supervisor, stated they would call me back, never did. Sent E-Mail, reply stated "we would not replace the parts because they were damaged due to set up on soft soil or loose soil, we warn against it in the manual. If you'd like replacement parts, I regret to inform you that you would have to purchase them.". My soil is not soft AND it doesn't state that in the manual! I had to pay $120 to replace some of the legs - I didn't even get all of them. Please be aware that Intex is currently rated an "F" with the BBB.

This pool was very easy to set up. We set ours up on our patio and used carpet pad underneath to soften the bottom for the kids. The pool is well worth the money and our family is enjoying it. Set up time was about 30-45 minutes and doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. ...

My son and I really enjoyed this pool. It was a very easy pool to set up, I did it by myself in prob about a 1/2 hour (not including the water of Course) but east to do. I got one of the salt filters and it was very easy to take care of, I didn't have to worry about any chemicals, or people's eyes bruning while they were swimming etc... I enjoyed those days that I could just relax on a raft and enjoy the summer sun!...
