Product Features
1. Easy Set-Up
Unlike other models, this one has no steel frame. Setting this Intex Easy Set Pool Set is almost effortless compared to framed varieties. There is an accompanying DVD instructional video in setting up this pool set, but for quick reference, we will describe here the simple steps in assembling this product so that you would know how easy it is:
- Spread out the ground cloth and the pool set in a completely leveled and firm ground
- Inflate the top ring with air
- Fill the reservoir with water
- You will notice that the pool is rising by itself
- Stop filling after the pool is totally risen
- Install the ladder, you now have a complete set pool
The average time to completely assemble this pool set is only 15 minutes for the veteran assemblers, you may have some difficulty at your first try, but you would become faster as time goes by (note: need a minimum of 2 persons to assemble this product).
2. Inflatable
As you have read above that this pool has no frame, it is inflatable, that is, it uses air to stand up. You have to need an air pump to inflate the top ring. However, the air pump is not included in the package; you can have it by ordering it separately from this pool set. A bicycle pump or air pump used in car tires can also do the trick if you already own one.
3. Super-Tough™ Sidewalls (3-Ply)
To give the pool set additional strength and durability because it has to stand by itself, the Super-Tough™ Laminated Sidewalls are constructed in 3 separate layers bound together to form one of the toughest sidewalls. The wall is provided a convenient drain plug connected to a garden hose, in this way, you can drain the water away from the house and from the pool.
4. 3,736 Gallons Capacity, Kristal Clear™ Cartridge Filter Pump, Accessories
The pool has 80% water capacity against its total volume. The pool can accommodate 3,736 gallons of clear and clean water circulated through the provided Kristal Clear™ Cartridge Filter Pump which runs at 110-120V and can pump an average of 1,000 GPH (Gallon per Hour). The package also comes with a ground cloth, debris cover, and a ladder.
The accompanying pump is a centrifugal type with a “dual-suction” capability on which the water is circulated two-way where the clear and clean quality of water is assured.
5. Armed with GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
To make every user safe, the Intex Easy Set Pool Set is equipped with a safety feature known as GFCI. This electrical device provides protection against short circuits, ground faults, overloads, and other electrical abnormalities. Simply put, the current is cut off automatically and immediately, stopping the pump promptly when this device detects current leaks along its path preventing serious shocks or possible electrocution. This normally happens when electrical wires are contaminated by water.
6. Only 92 lbs. Weight
Aside from being affordable, this pool set only weighs 92 lbs. a big difference in weight compared to framed varieties of above-ground pool set. The great reduction in weight makes this product conducive to easy movement during migration and the likes.
7. Product Dimensions Explained
Since this product is circular in shape, its diameter measures 15 feet, while it is 4 feet deep when filled with water. The top ring bottom line is the waterline; the top ring height is not included in the depth of the water as it is regarded as a guard rail to avoid spillage of water.
