It measures 101in x 74in x 51in when inflated and holds 180 gallons of water. As they enjoy splashing in the water, kids can also shoot hoops into the attached basketball hoops. Intex Shootin’ Hoops is not a kid-only pool; it’s meant to be a family pool that’s suitable for both kids and adults. It can fit two or three kids as well as two adults. Most people opted for sand under the pool with bricks or pavers under the metal legs. You may want to call a pro to help you set up the Ultra XTR 32ft pool.
You’ll need one of these to clean out larger debris that accumulates on a daily basis, such as leaves and twigs. The larger your pool, the more sturdy your net and pole need to be, so keep that in mind when shopping for one. Aside from your daily tasks, your pool will also need to be shocked (or super-chlorinated) regularly.
For 15 ft. (4.6 m), 18 ft. (5.5 m), and 24 ft. (7.3 m) pools, close the Inlet and Outlet Plunger Valve. For 10 ft. and 12 ft. (3.7 m) pools, insert the Inlet and Outlet plug into the fitting from inside of the pool, using the provided plug. Make sure you use a pool brush with nylon bristles only. The vinyl liner needs a gentle touch and might tear or scratch if you use a stainless steel pool brush. Make testing your water part of your daily pool care routine, and it’ll be easy to keep your water where it needs to be—and nip any potential problems in the bud.
This can often take a few days to rectify but is part of the normal maintenance regimen for all pools. All rectangular pools come with a filter pump, ground tarp, ladder, and pool cover. Once unfolded, the pool is inflated and the filter pump connected. Fill it up with a garden intex frame pool hose, add the proper chemicals and you have a pool that’s up and running in a matter of hours. I live in Jersey where it gets mighty cold and we receive our fair amount of snow and I have had my 16′ Intex pool up for 8 years possibly 9 years and have never taken it down.
Meanwhile, the debris cover it comes with is made from puncture-resistant, durable ply. Plus, the ladder it comes with has a powder-coated, corrosion-resistant steel frame. Entry level pools are inflatable and not as high quality as Intex pools that use metal or galvanized steel frames for increased durability and ruggedness.
