Questions & Answers
Yes. However, I believe that all Entex pools come with pumps that are too small. The pump with the timer from the 30' pools is actually what I use. To make it work, I need to trim the pool holes, and I have all of the 30' parts from a family member. The salt water component is also something I use.
Some of my pipes are rusted and need to be replaced. I'm going to use PVC instead of leather. I use a pump that was previously used in a larger pool. I have a saltwater system that I use. At least three years have passed since I last used my pool.
My luck ran out a week ago, and I was able to get my hands on mine for $250. This virus has a price-gauging vibe to it.
To protect the pool from the bricks, I would purchase some rubber material. It would also be possible to use thick vinyl sheeting.
Selected User Reviews For Intex 10ft x 30in Metal Frame Pool with Filter Pump
We were fed up with popping inflatables and decided to invest in this little gem. We're enjoying a simple and fun swimming experience for our 11-year-old who refuses to grow up after an initial purchase price of $117 (including cover) and about $100 in pool chemicals. The filters will last approximately two days. I advise you to purchase an 18-pack of filters. They can easily be washed out, so don't throw them away.
Everyone who had it for sale had raised the price, so I guess I didn't buy at the right time, so take my advice and buy early. There are also costs that you may not be aware of that you will incur in order to keep your pool in good working order. br>$500 poolbr>$200 for an upgrade pump (which was insufficient)br>$200 ladderbr>$50 pool coverbr>$100 chemicals, filters, and testing stripsbr>so over $1000 for a pool, but it was worth it, but I hate getting gouged. I hope this information is useful when it comes to purchasing a small pool in the real world.
There were no tools needed to set up this pool. A little common sense and patience are all that is required. Before you begin, I recommend reading through the assembly instructions completely. Pay special attention to the instructions for assembling the frame. It appears that it will not fit, but if each preceding section is firmly pressed together, it will fit perfectly. br>br>Place the pool where it will be the most level. Even the tiniest incline can be problematic, especially when the kids begin to splash around. br>br>The pool's pump is sufficient; Additional filters, on the other hand, should be purchased. If you have good water pressure, rinsing the filter several times to remove the majority of the accumulated debris before replacing it is no problem. For the past two weeks, we have been using the same filter. Every two weeks, it was cleaned. After three days, I've placed an order for new filters. When the volume of water returning to the pool is low, you'll know it's time to service the filter. The frequency with which you should service your filter is determined by how clean your water source is, how much debris has gotten into the pool while it is in use, and how many leaves and other debris fall into the pool. When the pool is not in use, I strongly advise that it be covered. We had to clean our filter by the second day of use even when using city water due to the low return-on-investment. The force of the water. a word about the filter br>br> This is a system that can be taken with you wherever you go. Air will enter the pump when you install or replace the filter. Air will not be pumped by the pump. Turn on the pump and raise the hoses above the pump to allow air to escape the pump chamber through the hose, allowing the pump to refill with water once more. It's possible that you'll have to reposition the pump to let the air out through the hose. br>br>On the subject of chlorine, one word of caution: a standard 3-pound bag of it contains chlorine. The 10-gallon chlorine tablet measures 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch by When fully filled, this 10' x 30" pool can hold up to 1,500 gallons. At a depth of 24" in our pool, I estimate that I have about 1,200 gallons. Filters, a water testing/treatment kit, a ladder, and a skimmer are all items you might need. br>br>Additional equipment you might need includes filters, a water testing/treatment kit, a ladder, and a skimmer. If your pool is going to be installed on a hard surface, you'll most likely need a mat to go underneath it. A local store provided me with artificial grass carpet.
After conducting extensive research, I decided on the Intex 10 x 30 pool. And I'm so glad I went ahead and did it! br>br>As a number of other reviews have stated. The included pump isn't very good. We paid $40 on Amazon for an upgraded unit. Before putting up the pool, we also bought foam tiles and laid them over the tarp. Overall, it's been a breeze to maintain! Especially now that the Intex Skimmer has been added. br>br>This pool is just the right size for me to float around in while my 6'3 280lb husband slashes around. We don't use a ladder or a stool to enter and exit. However, because I'm 5'4 and must stand on my tiptoes, it would be beneficial.
There were two inflatable ring models available. Then I went out and bought the "frame" model. More water can be stored in it. There's no need to be concerned about air leaks. Significantly improved stability. Can get into the pool by climbing over it. Setup is a breeze. Purchase the 1000 gph pump, which has a higher flow rate and a larger filter element. The pump comes with six extra filters that can be washed and reused, which you can purchase from Amazon. A skimmer with a handle should also be purchased. There's also a dispenser for chlorine tablets. Also available at your local pool supply store is a bucket of 3" chlorine tablets.
Well, you have no idea how much I adore Intex pools. After I had hip surgery last summer, my daughter purchased the 10' inflatable one for me. It was incredible and extremely beneficial to my recovery! But, this year, it developed a small leak, so I decided to replace it with this one with a metal frame. Partly due to the ease with which the metal frame can be leveled. It was difficult to find level ground for the inflatable pool. My pool wasn't quite level, and it kept trying to roll down the yard as it filled! Regardless, the 10' frame pool will not disappoint you. It's a good size, and it's a good depth. The filter is also fantastic! My pool stays crystal clear because I use 3" Clorox tablets in a floater and run my filter for a few hours every day. LOVE IT! LOVE IT!.
