Wow you’re the dad my husband and I needed 😂 this is awesome. We are installing our intex on Tuesday! You’re so appreciated for this video

Best video on intex pool set up I've seen, should be linked on the intex website! I lost my original ultra frame to a storm about 3 years ago, and these xtr models look to be a step up in materials and I like darker colors as well

We are setting up a 12x48 and we have always done pavers (with the last one that lasted so long. But this one seems sooo tight. Don’t have much more in it then to the band on the sides. Watching this while it filled and decided to drain some and bury the pavers. Great idea. Thank you!

@Chris-xo2rq 2 месяца назад

You should cover the top and sides of the T-joints with something... water gets between them and then through the spring button connections and inside the posts and it starts rusting from the inside. A wide piece of flex-seal tape would work well. They sell 12" wide rolls.

@LifeLessOrdinary 2 месяца назад

That definitely might be the case in some areas but luckily it’s very dry here and in 7 years it’s never affected my pool. But definitely a good idea 👍🏼

Thank you SO much for this very easy to follow along tutorial video! We bought the same pool and we are so glad we found your video, it was a breeze to do! Do you have info or a video on how you built your deck? We were wanting to build one almost exact to yours.

@aaronpaul6369 24 дня назад

Iam very glad I found your video as I was looking for help. I have blocks similar to your set up with the legs on it. We are as level as can be. However the legs in parts are not straight. When we adjust one leg it causes the other leg to move or revert. Are there any risks to a pool collapse if legs are slightly off level and what is the best way to combat the legs from shifting when adjusting ?

@LifeLessOrdinary 24 дня назад

If they are a little off it will be just fine. The only way I found to keep them straight is to keep checking them every 30 mins during the first fill.

@Ghost-bq9fl 3 месяца назад

Love ur videos !! Im fixing to install this same exact pool this video came at the right time , What type of sand do i need for the Sand Pump ?

@LifeLessOrdinary 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much for the kind words. I use the Sand from Ace Hardware but pretty much any pool sand will work just fine. Quikrete makes one and the HTH brand is also good.

@LMDAVE29 2 месяца назад

Do you disassemble your pool in the winter? I had Intex pools in the past and I live in south Louisiana where are winters are minimal, I've always left mine up. Don't know if I just got lucky, or is it recommended to take it down each year.

@LifeLessOrdinary 2 месяца назад

I think it really depends on how hard of a winter your area gets. I leave my pool up in the winter, just try to cover it as best as I can. We do get freezing weather all winter but luckily I’ve never had any issues.

@stewharr Месяц назад

@marcihill4662 Месяц назад

I just got the new 20x52 Intex prism pool replacing my 22x52 Coleman. I’m very familiar with pools except the setup. I always had my teenager and her friends help in the past. When putting the rails in the top do you have any idea why it’s so tight and causing the liner to like buldge at the top on the inside of the pool.?

@LifeLessOrdinary Месяц назад

It’s always a very tight fit that’s what gives the pool stability once it’s full of water but I’m not sure about the bulging.

@brandonholt6367 2 месяца назад

How far apart did you set your pavers for the legs? I ordered the exact same pool and already leveled the area but want to dig in some pavers so the site is ready for the pool as soon as it arrives but can’t find anything online about the distance between the legs.

@LifeLessOrdinary 2 месяца назад

If you’re talking about under the legs, I put those in as I put the pull-up, so I didn’t pre-measure. If I were you I would wait until the pool is up and then dig them into the ground because the pool will move a lot while installing. If that makes sense.

@josue3989 21 час назад

Any leaks problems? I was about to purchase a pool but I saw a lot of bad reviews stating the pools were leaking from the seams like a production quality issue, and Intex was not being helpful to resolved the issue.

@megryan67 2 месяца назад

Is there anything that goes in the last hose setup before connecting the hose to the filter pump? I can't get mine to slide on it to screw the hose in. should it have a gasket anywhere on it? (the hose that connects to the pool valve one)

@LifeLessOrdinary 2 месяца назад

The return valve putting the water back into the pool? That valve should slide down into the hose. It’s a tight fit but should go

@@LifeLessOrdinary I just see your old pvc setup and other videos, and the PVC comes out of the pool flat or level with the ground, then to a T, where as the flexible hoses all just sag and loop downward towards the filter.
