Installing a 24ft x 52” INTEX above ground pool! 

I have the exact same pool since last year. What I miss here are two things. First one: every legs should have been placed on concrete slabs or something similar. It is very likely if you did not do that, the legs will sink in the ground. Another thing: you should have been in the pool once it had 2-4"of water and then kick the liner with your heels to the legs. Now the bottom is all wrinkled which is not nice but most of all dirt and algae will collect in the wrinkles and it will be difficult to remove. I hope everything will be fine but I suspect you will run into trouble with the legs sinking 2-4" inches at least into the ground and not every leg will go in as much, so the pool will probably look uneven.

Lay foam Installation it feels awesome

Great job new pool friend, thanks for the motivation opening our pool next weekend 👏🏽

Good job. I’m in the process of putting up my first pool. Lol it’s hard work leveling the ground without big machines(I’m tired). I’m getting there! Wish me luck..

Harbor Freight sells tarp spikes. I used tgem on the corners of my tarp to keep it from moving so it wouldnt have wrinkles like this from dragging the pool around. Pulls the tarp tight too. Also....yes on pavers under the uprights. It will become unlevel every time it rains.

Hope your pool lasts. May I suggest watching as many videos as u can to learn the best way. Definitely want blocks under feet. Definitely want to kick wrinkles out. Best of luck in the future. It's fun lol

With our 15ft 28in it said to get in pool before water and try to smooth and flat out the bottom so not so much ripples at the bottom and also let sit in sun for 2 hours to help shape pool

Awsome info just got a 16x52 thanks

9:12 9:34 thanks for the clear view of drain valve. I want to prepare area for the pool before buying it so I got to know, where all connectors are. Valves for filter are always shown in manuals I was able to find over the Internet and I can't find that mysterious drain valve in every manual I found and all videos I watched about setting up such frame pools. So this size pool has minimum 2 drain valves. I'm going to buy 20" pool so this guy would have at least one of them in probably the same place. Actually I was thinking the drain valve has to be in the middle of pool, so all the water may come out, now I understand this is wrong))

Sky looked cool AF during that time lapse

I had to put a towel under my skimmer mount. I saw that it was starting to damage the liner.

How do you get the last connection done, we can’t get it into the top t,! Can’t pull it far enough to get the second ring pipe to pull far enough apart to connect it

We brought a 18 foot by 48" we doing a cement base for ours and leaving it up all year round... we take the pump of for winter storage... we got most of our items from Walmart the rest from Amazon

Man I wish I had a pool this nice

What sand can you put in the pool filter

I just got the same swimming pool came today . very nice pool kids love it.

I just ordered one smaller than y'all's (18x52) and since it was on sale for less than the salt water piece I could add I got the pump/salt water combo (pump is larger and supposedly it's easier to use..idk. Am I suppose to throw salt into the water AND the salt water gadget? If so I gotta get a lot more and it ain't easy to find around here (online it's outrageous and shipping is more than the product) I read that water softener salt works just as well (Morton clean & natural softner had the same ingredients as the pool salt so I got some of that). Also I'm having trouble finding sand for the pump, had anyone here tried the "fiber balls called cotton balls etc? I read they work great & less stress on the pump; any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm so glad I saw your video along with the comments below. I've read through them & see some really good tips (pavers under the legs etc). Btw I am a lil confused, some folks say to put sand under the ground cover, some say put it on top of the ground cover and some don't use sand. We just moved to our land and some ground work still has to be completed but I want to be sure I get it right the first time. Thank you so much for sharing this video & thanks to all the pool folks out there, your tips are awesome!🙂

Does this new ultra type liner fit OLD Intex 26' x 54" pools mine was 2015 model? The top poles and joints look exactly alike. My pool liner bottom just ripped out. 😢Thanks for input

Nice pool but I agree with some of the comments. I’ve had a pool for many years. Mine is not a intex. First one was metal and my newest is a saltwater pool. I’m just saying if you don’t put pavers under the legs you will have trouble and the legs will bend and you will have a collapse. I would drain the water and put pavers under each leg. It will be worth it. Also you have to get the wrinkles out before the water fills to two feet. Or they will always be there. I just saying be I wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt. When my first pool collapsed because of rust and it was old, no one was in it thank God but it goes fast and I belief any of us were in it then it could have been our life. Scared me so bad that the second one we made a cement collar for the walls. A lot of digging for a foundation but I actually wanted something more sturdy than even pavers. Which pavers are just fine but having been through a collapse I know it can happen. All this being said with the way this one is set up without any pavers you will eventually have a collapse in my honest opinion. Please for everyone’s safety I would drain it and redo it with pavers and kick around the wrinkles to the edge before the water gets two feet high. I know it’s none of my business but I’ve lived through a collapsed pool. Reason I’m saying all this was because they day before the collapse my 3 year old great nephew was in my pool. What if it had if collapsed the day before while he was in there. This child wouldn’t be here today. Please please drain it and put pavers under the legs. There’s all kind of RU-vid videos that show how. A pool is a lot of fun please be safe. I am happy you have it and hope you get many many years of enjoyment out of it. After you put pavers ears down lol God bless you and have fun.

Please explain how you closed 2 existing inlets have installed a skimmer before in my old intex pool but my old pool had only 1 inlet and it had a cut off

Can you help me set up mine please?

Thank you so much. I and my 2 kids are currently doing this. Holy cow it's 90 degrees. You are not kidding it's a lot of work. My husband works all day in the sun building houses and I decided I can do this. 🤣 😂😅 It's fine I'm fine everything is fine. 🥸

What did you do about a pool cove? Did you skip that? No cove and no wall?

How long do you think it took to fill?? Because ours has been running for a little over 24 hours

Nice pool Love from india

su cuul aosome vedio thanks so mush😊😊

You should fill the pool up to top level and then put 10 bags of salt and try to disperse is with a pool brush. This way you can easily bleach out the liner which can make the liner looks white without these printed tiles and it will also be weakened on these spots so it may get ripped there.

What does adding salt do? Forgive me just got a pool and im a novice

Is there a place to empty and drain water from the pool?

Spray protectant on all the poles etc or the salt water will fiat the pool over one season. Also good luck keeping algae out with all those wrinkles...

Hello do you not need to put someting under the legs?

Man great video one thing most inportant should of got the wrinkles out of ur pool soon as dirt sits between the on the pool floor u will never keep the pool clean cause a vacuum cant reach it. I did the same thing.

You should of dug down like 3 in then put sand on the ground that way its level and smooth with a sand bottom

Nice work, where did you buy the pool at? They are hard to find these days.

Hello I have a 24x52 intex ultra xtr frame pool and I would really like if someone could explain how I should get each leg level and how can I know if my pool is level ?

Does tilling it get the ground level?

How much salt did you end up using initially?

When the ground gets wet your legs will sink in the ground go get pavers and pull under each leg

A heavy yard Roller would of done so nice for you..............

You shouldn't cut the box as per user's manual :)

Oh no! Salt will cause rust to your beautiful pool!

do you know where to find some cheap pools that are like very deep it doesn’t have to be that big?

No way you left all those wrinkles at the bottom of the pool 😫

The salt is marked up to $24 for the same reason that your salinator from Amazon for the same reason that the pump and salinator are marked up to $600 from about $100: People will pay for it. I would avoid tilling. You want solid ground, but luckily your buddy compacted it cheap. Instead spray grass killer, wait to die, weed eat, rake up, dig down to level, level off with as little sand as possible if rocks are not an issue. Installers use pavers on the legs to guarantee level only. If you are level enough, then the legs will not push into firm ground. If your yard has washout, then that could be a problem, though.

the wrinkles still inside

FIRST

Nooooooo. Do Not do salt. Take it out immediately!!!!! Did it to my Intex it lasted for a year….. I had to replace the legs that rusted out the next year only lasted me 4 seasons with replacing the frame every year. Liner finally rotted out this year. Looking for a new one this year. Never again.

What about the wrinkles😂

Hi future me

your going to regret not getting the bottom smooth as those creases will collect dirt and the legs need to be on small pavers so they don't sink

Big mistake using salt water In 3 years it will be rusted out
