Anyone have an electrician ground and bond the pool? If yes, what do you do each year when you put it back up? Our township requires this but it seems like I would have to pay someone to do this every year. Turn on the filter and pump system to the Intex pool. There are a number of other differences between the two pools, though.
Keeping it covered when not in use will help to prevent some of this. 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 , and it proved to be effective at keeping the water clean.

Our younger ones refused to wear flip flops when walking to or from the pool, so they gave this intex frame pool 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.
However, my husband did not share in my joy as he was fully convinced that assembling it would be a weekend-long project that would end with me in tears and him in frustration. According to everything I have read the will collapse no matter you do. Everything I read says the ground has to PERFECTLY level or it will collapse. So in other words If you buy one it is going to collapse sooner or later anyways.
We did drain it, clean it and refill it this year which is the only time we did this after initial setup 8 yrs ago. Oh and did I mention that I bought it used from someone on Craigslist who lived in Philly and used it 1 summer. We will cover it this year since water is somewhat fresh.
