Your Questions About Intex Pools
Mark asks…
intex pools?
Are the metal framed pools by Intex able to be taken down each year like the Easy set pools?
Jason answers:
Yes they are, I have owned both. The easy set pools take less time to take down, but the metal framed pools are more structurally sound when they are up. Also, the metal frame pool comes vaccuum packed, so you will have a hard time getting it back into the box for winter storage.

Re; Intex pools-anyone have problems putting pools on sloped surface?
Our patio is flat, but in setting up our pool we’ve discovered it slopes down about 2 1/2 inches. We’ve set our pool up (round, 15′ w/metal poles) and ther is more water on one side. The manufacturer discourges this. Has anyone had any similar problems. We fear a blow out, but it feels stable, it’s our only big enough location. Advice and experience would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Jason answers:
Yes i have had 3 of them and leveling is the most important….You have two options..You can take it down ..and have a concrete patch poured over it to level it..or even go buy some sand and start from the high side with about 1/4 inch of sand and gradually build it up to about 3 inches of sand to the low side(this is to allow for the 1/4 inch on the high side and another 1/4 inch for the settling and compacting it will do when the weight of the water compacts it..You can buy a little string level for about 4 dollars to make it work evenly..do wet the sand alot after laying it down for it to compact some ..sprinkle it gently with a misting nozzle..do not use a high pressure and blow it off…
Jenny asks…
How do others like Intex easy set up pools?
I am considering buying an Intex above ground pool and have been trying to find others who have them. The one I have been checking/reading about out uses regular table salt instead of harsh chemicals to keep the pool clean. I do like that idea as we are a society filled with chemicals.
Jason answers:
I have had 2 intex pools and am thinking about getting another one. It’s been a few years since I had one and didn’t know they have a salt water pool system. Sounds good to me!
