- Review of my DIY Intex Pool Hacks and upgrades.
I am constantly thinking of new DIY upgrades that can be done to my Intex pool. The things seen in this video is only the beginning. I have plans for more in the future that includes laminar jets outside of the pool. Stay tuned cause I think I am addicted..
Lovin' the cooler within reach of the pool.
Great mods! You can tell that you put in alot of work and the pride shows! Good job!
Thanks! We have put in a lot of time and effort into our pool and backyard. We don't go on many vacations so I was trying to bring vacation to us... Thanks for the compliment! :)
Really cool setup. It's perfect for your yard, and super clean. Nice job !
Thanks!
Thanks for the video! You thought of everything!
Great ideas! I have the same table next my pool but I put my ice chest on top of it, like an idiot! I'll be cutting it to fit later lol! Innovative man!!
Wish you were my relative ....your backyard and pool hacks are heavenly...and im all about the beer cooler!
Lol, thank you!
Nicely done. Great idea with the cooler. Want to do something similar by my new Intex pool. Also liked how you buried the pvc behind the pool.
Thanks!
This video is great!!!! Do you have one that shows how to change the fuel filter on a 88 Nissan sentra?
I love this setup 👏🏼
You know is awesome what you did for you and your family for is really great ... is really awesome
Thanks you Hector!
Cant believe how similar it looks to my set up even with the wood cooler.. just like our yard
Wow this is so cool! You did ya thing!! Great upgrades! I also love my hot tub too. What a great addition.
Thank You! Now that we have the hot tub we wonder why we went so long without it.. Lol!
@@ChuckTate77 love the video and upgrades we too have the Intex 16×48 ultra steel frame pool just got it in May 2020 during covid we got so much use out of it this past summer i were in the midwest(Illinois)and we are leaving it up for the winter i see you updated your filter and pump what gph did you upgrade too? Was the skimmer addition worth it? Would the skimmer work with the 2100gph sand filter that came with ours do you think? I see all your plumbing upgrades are you in a cold climate state that you have to winterize? Thanks in advance!!
@@iamkazie9401 Thanks for the comment! I'll try to answer all your questions. Congrats on the pool! The pool has probably been one of our family's most valued possessions during COVID. Since vacations or local water park visits were not possible, Its kept us somewhat sane through the summer months.. :). We leave ours up year-round too. We drain the pool below all pool cutouts/outlets, put a new tarp over it every year, drop in a pool closing pill and just skim the leaves out throughout the winter months. Opening the pool in late spring is super easy and, believe it or not, we still have clear water at opening. We drain that water anyway so that we don't have to fight getting the chemicals right. (The water was really only left in there to keep the pool from blowing away during the winter) I did upgrade our filter/pump. I upgraded to the Intex 2450gph sand pump. Besides the upgraded pump, the skimmer was probably my next best modification. It seriously keeps the pool water clean. It allows me to also use a traditional pool vacuum and hose too to clean the bottom of the pool too. This skimmer would work with your pool also and I would highly recommend doing it to your pool. This is my 2nd pool with the cut in skimmer. The hardest part is getting past having to cut your liner to your brand new pool. But after cutting in my first skimmer, cutting my brand new liner was not a problem at all because 1) I never had a problem with the first one and 2) I knew the benefits of having this type of skimmer. During the winter, I remove all of my fittings to the pool. I also drain my pump and chlorine generator and store those in my shed. I blow air in the PVC pipes to blow out the excess water and duck tape the ends of the PVC once complete. I hope my comments help you. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'd be happy to answer them.
@@ChuckTate77 WOW that was a fast response lol Do you think the pump should be upgraded if installing the skimmer ? I have no problem cutting the liner and adding it. Did you just pick a random spot on the pool where to install it or were you just trying to keep it close to the output jet and all plumbing lines? How did you block off the 2 inputs? Sorry for more questions but THANK YOU!!
@@iamkazie9401 I seen your video and I think your current pump would work just fine. Mine came with a paper filter cartridge and pump type... which is why I immediately upgraded mine to the sand filter/pump. I intentionally put the pool's Intex logo and pool skimmer toward the pump so that the logo or plumbing wasnt seen and it was close to the pump. I used hose clamps and the plugs. See the link for the plugs I used to cover the outputs. intexcorp.com/replacement-parts/above-ground-pools/easy-set/6ft-x-20in/2018/28101eh/pool/10127-strainer-hole-plug-for-16ft-below-above-ground-pools/
Very innovative! Happy wife happy life. You deserve more subs.
Thank you very much for that comment.
Awesome job!👍
What size and shape is your pool, and where did you purchase it?what did it cost ? So many pools on ebay but such differences in prices on same sized pools,its overwhelming ,and why are people buying and never even taking out of the box, so maybe your reply will give me hope ,thanks
very nice im sure you put in tons of work
Thanks Wendello! I have put in a lot of work. My family doesn’t take many vacations so I try to make this as close to a vacation and enjoyable as possible when we are back there.
Good job brother.
I LOVE pool videos.
Intex pool on steroids!💪🏾💪🏾
Cool 😎 👌
This is by far best setup pool I have seen. Wish you let us kn how you did it
What part you wanna know? Let me know because I’m going to make more pool videos soon!
Things like how you built your cooler. How did you set up the pump well away from the pool. And how did you set up the skimmer? Did you have to drain some water to set it up. Etc. It's all awesome. I want to learn how you did it. Thank you.
How did you hook up the waterfall? I want to try it!
This is fantastic! How’s everything holding up now?
Good hubby!
Haha! Yup. Happy wife happy life. :)
Great setup!! Great job !!
Thank you!
Chuck please show more or let me know how you installed the skimmer with it not being a hard walled pool .
I would love to do this to be able to vacuum normally.
I’ll look at doing that vid next. I obviously won’t be able to show step by step but I can sure explain the steps as I’m showing how I did mine. Thanks for the input!
@@ChuckTate77 yes please, I want to install a skimmer too
Great video!
I would like to know how you plumbed everything underground. So much cleaner than hoses everywhere. The bar from the house is nice too.
Thank you! I think I am going to cover the plumbing portion in my next video.
I'll be waiting for that video
gronet75 either click the end-card at the end of my video or go to my channel. Either way, there is a video of me covering the plumbing.
What size of misting nozzles are you using ?
wow in soou cool in soou love
What's size holes did you drill to get it to mist instead of spray?
When you cut the hole for the skimmer, how much water did you have to let out?
Just a few inches below the cut, half way between the cut & the bottom, or did you empty it?
Did you reinforce the hole in any way?
I actually have a skimmer given to me from a much larger pool, so I've been wondering about all this.
Danny Clark I didn’t drill any holes for the misters, they are actual mist nozzles sized to match the water pressure. I drained my pool below the skimmer just so I didn’t have to contend with the water as I was installing the skimmer but I didn’t have to drain it. When installing the Hayward skimmer the last thing you do is cut the liner for the skimmer hole. I just made sure where my waterline normally sat landed in the middle of my skimmer hole. The liner is not reinforced in any way. I have never had any leaks or issues with the skimmer. It works just as intended.
Thanks for video. Nice setup! What is your opinion on your Coleman hot tub? And how much of a spike in electric bill did you notice?
I no longer have the Coleman hot tub. I now have an Intex hot tub. The Coleman's heater/pump went out and those heater/pumps are difficult to find replacement parts. I do love the hot tub though and it is well worth the money. My wife does the bills so I wouldn't know for sure BUT I would think if it was a significant increase she would have mentioned it. I would assume running the heater/pump during the winter wouldn't increase the electric bill more than $10-$20 a month. Small price to pay for the enjoyment in my opinion.
great job - do you have to close out or tear down your pool each fall?
Thanks Charles! I do winterize it every year but I do not tear it down. The only time it gets taken down is when I replace the pool a new one.
very nice, how did you plug the old strainers after you installed the skimmer?
The pool comes with rubber plugs for the 2 strainer ports. I used those 2 rubber plugs and added 2 hose clamps on the Outside of the pool
How did you build the ice chest? Super cool 👍
Thanks Daniel! Its actually built using warped cedar fence pickets that I picked up from the neighbor (neighbor owns a fencing company). I just went and bought a cheap $20 cooler from Walmart. Separated the lid from the cooler and basically built a box around the cooler and a box around the lid. Put both boxes together and installed the hinges to each side of the boxes that I just built. I left the corners (legs) of the cooler box long so that it could sit the cooler at the same level as the pool. Finally, just deck stained it all.
Hey man how’s your pool holding up after all these years? Do you keep it up over the winter and empty it? Very nice setup.
Thanks! We've decided to replace the pool this season. The rust got bad, but it lasted over 5 seasons and we knew it would eventually rust so we planned for this at some point. Yes, we keep it up year round and I do empty it at offseason just below all of the plastic connections and skimmer. At opening, I drain it completely and scrub the pool before putting in new water.
@@ChuckTate77 good to know Chuck, thank you. Do you treat the water (chlorine, etc) or do any maintenance during the offseason or just let it get "ripe and green" then drain, scrub and fill/treat when you open it up?
@@BradleyLivestreams I just let it ripe and green during the off-season. I do use a closing pill and I also net out any leaves and/or debris throughout the offseason just to make cleaning a little easier at opening.
Great setup, nice pool. What size pvc pipe did you use to hook up to the inlet hose? I am confused as how to make that T (spliter). that goes to the inlet and off to that valve that goes to the mist
Thanks! The "T" isn't necessary. I only put the T in there to try to run my misters off the pool pump or a water hose. I was unsuccessful with the pool pump as the mist nozzles require higher pressure than what the pool pump provides (I think about 25-35 psi is my pump's psi). The misters would only drip water using the pool pump.. Lol. and that low of pressure nozzles were not available for purchase at the time. So, I only ever used the water hose hook up as it does provide enough pressure. I had to switch out my nozzles to match my city's water pressure (I think its about 65-70 psi) but the nozzles are cheap. If you don't replace them to match whatever your pressure is you'll either get spitting nozzles or they only drip water. I used 1/2" PVC and since this will not operate off your pool pump you will only need the 1/2" PVC to all of you 1/2" PVC nozzle connectors (I bought the 1/2" connectors that have mister nozzles already in them from Amazon), a 1/2" PVC "T" (depending on where you want your hose connection) a 1/2" PVC ball valve if you want to shut the misters off without getting out of the pool and a 1/2" hose connection. Then just find a way to strap it all to your pool frame. I hope this all makes sense. If not, just let me know what you need clarification on. Thanks for watching!
@@ChuckTate77 Thank you for the information, this is helpful, I would like to know what size and how you made those T's that come from pump to the inlet and off to the old fountain you had. at 3:14 mark, how did you connect the T to the connector in the inlet? I see the 2 clamps to secure the 2 adapters, not sure what size and how the T is connected.
@@myquicklist1 Send me an email and I will send you some close up pics of the set up. I am not sure of what the fittings are called but I knew what I was looking for. Lol. I'll get you all of the information I possibly can. chucktate77@gmail.com
I also have another videos that covers my plumbing in a little more detail if you havent seen that one yet. Still send me an email and I'll get you some pics. I work from home so you will get them quickly. :)
@@ChuckTate77 I just watched your other video, and that answered all my questions. Thank you so much for the videos, this has helped me alot.
Is your cooler ice box just free standing, or did you cement the legs to keep it in place. I want to build one like yours. I have seen several on youtube, but I like how you extended it to give it a shelf. Also for the legs are they 2 x 4 's or just boards? Thanks
Its free-standing. I live in an area prone to tornadoes and high winds and Its never blown over. I actually made it 100% out of cedar fence pickets. Just cut off the dogears and you have cheap pieces of wood that will withstand the elements for years.
@@ChuckTate77 Awesome, going to build one next week.; Thanks for replying back
What is the size of the pool? looks cool btw good job
Itzaydeex_ thanks! I think it’s a 16’x48”.
Nice yard setup. Great video 👌 How long do you run your pump and clorinator per day?
I sorry for the late reply. I was just going through the comments and seen you have asked a question. I run my pump 24/7 but my generator I run 4-6 hours a day. Its easier for me this way. The reason I run the pump 24/7 is we get a lot of power flashes during the summer. These power flashes end up resetting the timer on the pump. So next time the pump and generator start up the pump may run at a different time than the generator and error out because there is no pump flow. If i dont catch this and reset the generator it will not work. I may go 4-5 days before noticing the generator needs a reset and during these 4-5 days no chlorine was being generated. To avoid this, I just run the pump 24/7 so it doesnt matter when the generator kicks on, I always have pump flow.
Badass
Thanks!
very nice, looks like you have bubbling in the sand filter pump ..is that significant of an air leak somewhere?
It does bubble a little. I believe the air ingress coming from the furnco right before the pump because if I shut off the pump it slowly leaks water from that fitting . It’s never ran dry and I’ve never had a problem with air locking the pump so I’ve never tried to hunt down where it’s coming from. I run my pump 24/7 and the bubbles eventually work their way out after running for a day or so.
So you buried all the plumbing? Nice!
How is salt water better for maintenance?
On your return you have that little black cap on? I took mine off and I think it controls the air flow? Do I need to put it back on?
I don’t think it’s required, but I think it either helps aerates the water, which helps keep the water clean or similar to house plumbing venting, it helps keep the water flowing at its highest capacity.
I bet the misters keep the bugs away too! Great job.
Thank you and the misters really do keep the bugs away.
Very nice. Question. Did you need to level the ground for your pool
How did you do it?
Yes, I had to level the ground. I rented a tiller to loosen the dirt then dug out about 2"-3" of dirt. Filled with concrete sand and leveled the sand by hammering a stake in the middle with a long 2"x4" screwed to the top of the stake. Then I taped a long level to the 2"x4" and slowly made my way around leveling the sand as I pushed the 2x4 in circles.
Yeah that's a lot of work. Good job. I am not that handy. I had already bought the pool but then realized how hard and costly it is to upgrade it and get it to work. Something to consider before purchasing.
@@MrBaselito If you start with a level surface, setting up your pool really isn't that bad at all. And obviously the pool will operate without the upgrades. The upgrades just make the pool easier to maintain.
Have you noticed any issues with having the PVC attached, buried, with no hoses to sort of take up the motion of the pool? I saw a warning about that somewhere on RUclips. I have pvc attached to hoses before going to my pump (and I’d love to bury it like you did) because my kids (and I) can really get the waves going and I feel like it needs to have some give.
I’ve had my pool piped like this for 4-5 seasons now and haven’t had any issues. But, I do have long pieces of PVC going from the pool fitting to the first 90 in the ground along with a rubber furnco at the top. I have a 16 yo, and him and his friends (about 8 of them) get those waves going and have also done the whirlpool in the pool and I’ve never had any issue. I mention my son only because you know how teenage boys try and make the biggest and fastest waves and whirlpools.. lol. And if it has lasted through their torment then I’m not too worried about it.
If you wanted, you could add a fernco in the middle of your PVC that goes into the ground. Like adding a 1-1/2” to 1-1/2” fernco in the middle for no reason but to provide additional flexibility between the moving pool sides and your static PVC.
@@ChuckTate77 Good to know, thanks!
I purchased a intex sand filter pump in April and a automatic pool cleaner in april. Well found out the flow on pump is to low (1200) for cleaner (1600). Do u know of a hack to where i can increase my flow to meet the 1600, by any chance.
Unfortunately I do not. Not sure if you're interested in doing the skimmer hack or not but this allows me to use a normal pool hose and vacuum head with my pool. I also have the Intex automatic vacuum and even with my pump (2150 gph) it is hit or miss if its going to work properly. Sometimes I get it hooked up and it will only go one direction and this is even after backflushing the pump. I have even taken the vacuum apart and greased one of the gears to maybe help it switch directions. I finally got it to work after disassembly and reassembly but it is still hit or miss with that thing..
how many hours a day do you start your pump, and how do you have your crystal clear water?
Pathy I run my pump 24/7 and my chlorine generator 6 hours a day. We get power flashes often throughout the summer. This would often throw off the timing of the pump and chlorine generator and one would try to run while the other wasn’t on. To avoid this, I just run my pump all the time and chlorine generator the required amount of time. So if power does flash again, my only worry is making sure both devices have power. Hope that makes sense. :). I keep my pool clean just by running my equipment, checking the chemicals in the water and vacuuming about once a week.
Do you have a list of items you used to build the cooler?
Sorry, I do not. I just used cedar fence pickets and a cheap $15 cooler from walmart.
Which model is this one?
I'd be careful hard piping too much, remember, pool moves but PVC Coming up from the ground doesn't, use flex pvc for flex points. just my 2 cents. GJ and thanks for your video.
The pump loud I did it got seized up
Did you have to cut the hole to install the skimmer? I need that for mine
Yes, there was no hole for the skimmer.
Do you take it down during the winter?
Nope
How did you prep the ground? I am struggling with this.
I dug up about 2" worth of dirt while keeping the bottom of my 2" pit as even as possible. Laid down 2" worth of concrete sand to bring the sand just a little proud of ground level. Hammered a stake in the middle of where my pool will be until the top of the stake was even with the top of the sand. Screwed the end of a straight 10' 2"x4" to the top of the stake. Taped a long level to the 2"x4". Spun the 2"x4" in circles keeping the 2"x4" level while knocking down high spots and filling low spots with concrete sand as I went around in circles. Once that was complete and level, I soaked (flooded) the sand and did the leveling all over again. I did this 2 more times for a total of 4 times. Note: Soaking (flooding) the sand allows the sand to settle into all of the little voids in the sand and "locks" the sand together.
@@ChuckTate77 Did you put any pavers or wood under the legs or straight on to the sand? Great set up by the way.
Scott Eveleigh thanks Scott! yes, I did put pavers under the legs. These pavers sit on the undisturbed dirt and level with the sand. They were installed last after leveling the sand and just before propping the pool up so that I would know the proper locations.
@@ChuckTate77 how about the stake, how did you remove it all without disturbing the sand? Sorry for all the questions I'm doing a pool for the first time and I'm nervous about getting it right! Any more tips for a beginner? 😂
@@scott9083 No problem with the questions. This is the hardest part for everyone and if its not done right you wont be satisfied, so ask away! Don't be too worried about removing the stake without disturbing the sand. Once its removed, just fix what you messed up. The main point is that you are now level across the width of the pool. So just fill the hole with sand (and level with the sand around it) and you're good. But You actually have 2 options here with the stake. Either you can remove the stake or sledge hammer the stake deep into the dirt and fill the hole with sand. I did the latter. :). One thing I should have put in my earlier post about leveling the sand is to make sure the 2"x4" is on its side. A 2"x4" on its face over a 10' span will have lots of bow to it. Let me know if you have any other questions.
If you want more info about something just let me know. I can make another video in more detail.
I want to get a pool because of Corona and there all so expensive
David Riley they are SUPER expensive at the moment. You’re trying to purchase at the peak of the season WHILE people are forced to stay home and swim in their own pools. IMO, look at Academy Sports and buy their blow up version to get u through the summer. After the swimming season ends, look for a pool again.
@@ChuckTate77 academy has really good prices but sold out and its soooo hot where live so I'm gonna see if I can find something on Ebay
@@aannadunn Thank you! I have never used any other ladder except for the one that comes with the pool . I have considered purchasing one but don't like the idea of having to store it every year. The main reason is that I am out of room in my storage building. Lol
Is the pool pump self priming?
I do not have to prime the pump at start ups or during use. As long as no air accidently got in the plumbing, it works 100% of the time.
Thank you for answering me.
Ha the saltwater corroded your poles at all?? I’m considering it but am just worried about rust.
Let me say this, I've had Intex pools with and without saltwater. The pool WITHOUT saltwater had to be replaced at the end of its 5th season due to rust. My pool WITH saltwater, which is what you see in the video, is being replaced this spring due to rust and I would have been going into it's 5th season with it. So did the saltwater shorten the pools life? I don't know, its hard to say because all Intex metal frame pools are known to rust. That being said, it may have shortened my pool's life by maybe 1 season but the time & money not spent maintaining the pool during the swim seasons is well worth the shortened pool life. I know my response doesn't give you a definitive answer but that's my experience with Intex metal frame pools with/without saltwater.
@@ChuckTate77 i really appericiate the input, thank you. very helpful.
@Creative Newborns I leave my pool up. I just drain the pool below the inlet/outlet, disconnect all of the fittings and bring them inside, cover with a pool tarp and add a pool closing pill. I believe the average lows in my state are about 25F to 30F degrees or so during the winter. Obviously, most of the country had that deep freeze this winter and we had temps -10 degrees or so and the pool survived just fine.
How do you maintain your pool water so clear?
I use the chlorine generator and it really keeps itself clean. I backflush my sand filter every other week and I check my water once a week but I very rarely have to add anything. Most I’ve had to do is maybe add a bag of shock.
@@ChuckTate77 really? Lol I have a 10 x 30 and its really slimy. The pump it came with was useless so I upgraded to an Intex one. . I was hoping I wasn't going to have to upgrade to a different pump but I guess I'm going to have to.
@@vhernandez4792 I agree that the pump that comes with the pool is undersized. I felt that the pump wasnt circulating the water enough even though I kept the filters clean all the time. This is why I upgraded to the sand filter. 1) I was tired of cleaning and/or replacing paper filters, 2) I feel that they don't catch the small stuff and 3) it was undersized. One thing you might consider too, along with upgrading your filter/pump, is also pool placement. My pool is in the sun all day and the UV light helps control the bacteria (but it also burns the chlorine too but can be remedied by running the salt water chlorine generator longer). A lot of people want to keep their pool close to shade but doing this makes it a more suitable environment for bacteria and debris. Granted, this can be remedied with proper pool chemicals and cleaning but you have to be more on top of it throughout the season.
@@ChuckTate77 yeah my pool is small but a bihger pump might be the answer. its under the sun but has a cover ima gonna keep it uncovered for a few day to see of it helps and know we just realised we have white water mold so we gotta get on top of that.
@@vhernandez4792 Lots of shock. I'd do a treatment about every other day or every 3 days until it clears up and run the pump 24 hours during the treatments until it begins to clear up. After that I'd take water samples to your nearest pool store so that they can get you the correct chemicals and correct amounts to get your pool water where it needs to be.
How do you keep it clean?
I use a pole, pool hose and pool vacuum to clean it.
@@ChuckTate77 what chemicals do you use?
@@amygruennert1121 I dont use any chemicals. I have the chlorine generator so I add about 140 lbs of salt at the beginning of the pool season. I check it weekly at Leslie's Pools but it is very rarely not within accepted levels. One of the main reasons I love having a salt pool.
How did you ground your pool so you don’t get electrocuted? Did you hire an electrician?
I’m not sure what you mean? Why would I get electrocuted?
@@ChuckTate77 Its all pvc Right?
@@aprilwaller123 Yes, all my plumbing is PVC
What's the difference in having salt systen?
Chlorine systems are hard on your hair, skin, clothes and require lots of maintenance to keep the water at the correct pH, alkalinity, free chlorine, etc. With the salt system, there is no effect on skin, hair or clothes. Also, you don't have to keep up with chlorine tablets anymore. Salt water pool chlorine generators pull the salt from the water and turn to chlorine and in doing it this way keeps your water stabilized throughout the season. Overall, salt pools just require less maintenance. You should still always check your chemical levels just in case but maintenance is nearly zero with salt pools. Just add your salt at the beginning of the pool season, turn on your chlorine generator and your done. I still pull my generator about once a months and fill distilled vinegar and let it sit to clean the plates but besides that, that's really the only maintenance I have to do during the pool season.
@@ChuckTate77 thank you so much for your detailed information. I'm looking Into changing to salt system but I'm concern about corrosion in the pool legs.
@@myuploadsvideos I understand that concern. This is our 3rd ultra frame pool and corrosion happens on these pools with or without being a salt pool. My first pool was chlorine only and it still corroded in the joints and legs. I think its actually a fault in Intex's coating process. I dont think they get enough coating (if any at all) inside the legs or joints to keep the metal from rusting. Also, I have not noticed an increase in corrosion using salt vs. chlorine as all 3 pools seem like they lasted about the same amount of time. I do know that with our next pool I will be spraying FlexSeal down into the legs and around the joints though... Lol.
@@ChuckTate77 glad to read your experience with the salt system. Definitely going to change next year. At the moment everything it's out of stock or very expensive. I bet by the end of the season I'll get a good deal in a new pool and pump. Thanks for your responses. I really like how you have the pump setup away from the pool.
William M thanks. Let me know if I can be of some sort of help. Hit me me back up on this RUclips vid. Planning on some more pool vids soon too!
Make a big Fountain that will cover up the top of pool
Not sure what type of fountain I will have. I probably wont have one this year but I have so much more in store for the pool. I think a laminar fountain is next for either late summer 2020 or summer 2021
I'll make a video and take you guys along.
@@ChuckTate77 put it in the middle on a float
How big is the pool?
ChanceTheExtreme 16’x48” Ultra Frame
what pool is that in the video ?
@@wolfman929 This is the Intex Ultra frame before they came out with the XTR Ultra frame models
Put a Diving board
What kind of pump do you have? Has the salt corroded your pool parts?
I have an Intex sand pump. The salt has not had any increased effect (that I have noticed) on the metal parts of the pool. This is my 3rd Ultra-Frame and on my first pool I only used chlorine. This pool and my first have rusted at about the same pace.
@@ChuckTate77 is yours the xtr?
@@user-iv6ty3cd5i XTR? Not familiar with XTR?
