Product Features

1. Tough PVC Sidewalls and Durable Steel Frame

This Intex Pool Set is durably made from a powder-coated steel frame, perfectly built for toughness and rigidity. The steel frame is anti-corrosive (rust-proof) even when exposed to chlorinated or saltwater. The sidewalls are laminated PVC (polyvinylchloride), a kind of synthetic plastic polymer, usually water-proof and also rust-proof. The powder coating on the frame makes the steel shiny-finished and seamless; it will not injure anyone upon contact.

2. Included Kit

The package comes with the following accessories upon your purchase: Kristal Clear Brand filter pump with the saltwater system; maintenance kit (for cleaning and other maintenance activities); ground cloth and debris cover (to cover the pool against falling leaves and other similar debris); customized steel ladder; DVD for instructional set-up; and a volleyball set.

3. Rectangular Frame

This pool set is rectangular, having the longest side which measures 24 feet, while the shorter is 12 feet. Unlike a square or round pool set, rectangular ones are more enjoyable to use. Like the included volleyball set, which is more exciting to play when one side is longer where movements of swimmers are convenient compared to narrower square or circular pools.

This pool has a depth of 52 inches (4’ 4”), really conducive for the kids and their friends which are also ideal for teaching them how to swim. The pool set should be installed on the leveled ground to keep it safer and keep the water level inside the container.

4. With Drain Plug

The sidewall has a suitable drain plug connected to a garden hose so that the water could be drained and diverted away from your house and the pool. This convenient feature is also intended when cleaning the pool.

5. Water Capacity

At 90% capacity, to give allowance for the volume of people soaking in, the pool can hold more than 8,400 gallons of water. Setting up the Intex Ultra Frame Pool Set just takes more than 90 minutes for the first-time installers. The package includes a demo DVD that you can watch before you install the pool.

6. Dual Suction for Better Water Circulation

The pump provided is a dual suction outlet fitting that has for its pump a split-casing centrifugal pump in a horizontal position that receives water on both sides of the rotating impeller. This principle is commonly called a “double-suction pump”. In this manner, water circulation is improved which is also more hygienic and clearer liquid.

7. Electrically Safe

This Intex Pool Set is made safer against electrical intrusion whereas its Kristal Clear™ Sand Filter pumping system is “armed” with the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), also called RCD (Residual Current Device) which is an electrical device that shuts off the flow of current on its circuit when it detects that this current is flowing along to another path not its own.

That is why the pump would shut off if the circuit is contaminated with water or has been exposed to another element. This safety feature will certainly keep your family from harm. And one thing more, read and understands carefully what is written in the User’s Manual, it will make a safer environment during your awesome swim.
