Intex 18' x 52" Ultra XTR Frame Above Ground Pool

Product exactly as described!

We’ve had Intex Ultra XTR pools for the last 9 years. Just purchased, setup and filled our third. We had the 12 x 24 rectangle for 5 years and decided to go with this model for a second time. Setup is a breeze. These pools withstand harsh Midwest winters when left up year-round. The only rust we encountered at any point was when we used saltwater system and it was rather discouraged so we took the risk. The fact these pools last 4-5 years under those conditions means I’ll never consider another brand. For the price, you just can’t beat them. With each pool, we’ve upgraded to a thru-wall skimmer and opted to upgrade pump/filter and valves/hoses. Easy to maintain, fittings are threaded rather than clamped. It’s a win-win. Liner is beautiful and bright. By year 5, liner does fade, but with properly balanced chemicals, maintains its color very well. In 9 years I’ve never had to patch a hole in the XTR. I did patch one hole in the prism line, but can’t even complain about that as it was extremely easy underwater. If I’m looking for something to critique, I’d say the ladder could be sturdier, but hasn’t been worth an upgrade. For the money, you won’t find a better pool. One tip worth mentioning is to not skip the powder on the rails during assembly. Doing so will result in wrinkles in your liner along the rails. Over time, this will result in liner degradation and it will burn skin like fiberglass. However, please note even then, you’ll have years worth of use without issue. If you’re considering an upgrade from another Intex product or other popular soft-sides pools, you will only wish you’d done it sooner. Depending on location and weather, I would suggest leaving the pool up year-round. The liners fare much better with water (frozen or thawed) than they ever will empty once they’ve been filled.

I bought this last summer I love it every thing is still fine my favourite part is how good the pump is

We have had this pool for 5 summers now. We erect it in October and store away dry and clean in May (we live in NZ). We use it every day and have had no issues at all with either the pump or liner to date. Unfortunately though, I would say this will be it's last summer as the lining around the top edge has perished and the pool has become very fragile - 5 yrs isn't bad though in my opinion. We will definitely replace with the same model if still available.

This is a perfect size poolnot only for my family and friends but also for myself.

We have owned several intex pools. Starting with the quick setup pool when the kids were little. As they got bigger so did our pools. We are now on our third ultra frame. No, they don't last forever but you cannot beat the price point for how long they last. I love them and will be purchasing another one next year. Recommend the salt water system and rig a skimmer on the pool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 32' x 16' x 52" Intex Ultra XTR pool is ideal for those looking for a spacious and durable option. Its galvanized steel frame with corrosion protection ensures stability and longevity. Although installation requires at least two people, the process is intuitive with clear instructions. With a capacity of over 14,000 gallons, it includes useful accessories such as a Krystal Clear sand filtration pump, safety ladder, cover and tarp. Its performance stands out for the efficiency and silence of the pump, and its cleaning system keeps the water crystal clear. Among its advantages are the ample space, durability and included accessories. As disadvantages, it requires a considerable area and regular maintenance. In short, it is an excellent investment to enjoy the summer with family or friends. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Expect the pool liner to last 6-7 years - pump not so long. Does not come with a skimmer. Level the ground without sharp rocks 19' feet in diameter - to give you extra room if you need to adjust the location. Set up time 3-4 hrs with a beer or two. (my third pool). Legs must be close to vertical as possible. Took 26 hrs to fill

Just finished set up and the liner is poorly manufacured. Matetial is ok, but the seams are not done well and will probably leak. Even if they don't leak it will be impossible to clean. I just hope they don't rupture and cause a flood!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Intex Ultra is an excellent pool. This is what you really need to know!!! What you pay for this pool will not be the price in the end meaning that there will be costs associated etc….. you need to know that when setting up a pool this size that a level surface is key! It is an absolute! DO NOT set these pools up with one side higher than the other and Be sure where the tarp is laid is where you want the pool, there is no going back to move it. It took 2 hours to hook up the pool filter, salt water and connect the hoses. The pool took about 3days to fill up. Changed my hose for better output of water. I did not water at night. Over all I am happy right now with this pool and excited for summer to come now. The pool is BIG. I like how Intex sends you mostly everything you will need to get this pool started and running. The pool is a lot of work to setup and maintain, but the benefit of having a very large pool will pay off. Highly recommend 🤩

I bought the XTR 18x52 in 2021. We noticed during the first year the pump doesn’t operate as good as it did when first opening. To get it to filter how it should, you have to push down and hold the lever if you want a full filter which Is obviously Unfeasible. For the past 2 years we’ve had to purchase new hoses (from pool to filter) as they keep snapping when we put them back on after each year. I am very disappointed as this has now cost me additional money, wasted my water to fill the pool, as well as chemicals to open the pool.

Absolute worst customer of any company I have ever called! They are unable to understand English and just keep replying they they understand yet continue to ask me the same question over and over !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is amazing. A lot bigger than I expected. However I’m super glad to have gotten the opportunity. I have the perfect place for it just need the weather to go with it. It’s super nice and the quality is great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is sure to be a hit with the whole family during those long hot and miserable summer days! Includes a volleyball net, ladder to enter, pool liner, debris cover, pool frame, ground cloth, delux cleaning kit, sand filter pump, and Saltwater filtersystem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It being fall, I haven't been able to install the pool yet. I have gone through the boxes and everything is there and in perfect condition. Delivery was fantastic with a very friendly driver. The pool comes with everything you need to get up and running for summer. This is going to be a great addition to our summer fun! It came with a filter and everything needed to set it up. Just need a load of sand and water and you are ready to go.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited when this pool arrived in a semi truck! Two huge boxes on a pallet! It’s too cold at this time of year to swim in it where I live, but there’s no doubt that in a few months when the warm weather returns, I’m throwing a pool party! The accessories included will make the pool easy to maintain and long lasting! I will definitely update as soon as I’m able to try it! I have no doubt that it will be a fantastic review! Can’t wait!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a lil too cold for us to get in it but we have it up and put the cover over it that came with it and it’s ready for us to swim in next year. I will do another review then. We are all excited and can’t wait to get in it when the weather gets warmer. My son is so excited and wanted to get in it now. It’s comes with everything you need to get started. I have already told all my friends n family about it. So we will have a huge pool party come summer 2024!! If you haven’t bought one I would if I were you. I should have a long time ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited to set this pool up! Even though I will have to wait until summer (will give an update then) my grandparents had a similar pool and absolutely loved it. I love that it comes with everything you need (minus the chemicals you need) to get all set up and ready for use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect size if you love hosting. Gives you lots of room to sit without being on top of each other. The quality is exceeded my expectations honestly. Not cheaply made and it’s sturdy. We installed it fairly easily without professional help so that was a plus!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited to review this product but it’s a little cold to put it up right now.

My Family super excited for us to be able to put up this coming spring And enjoy swimming and having family time together. So thankful that we were chosen to review this product for you and like I said, I will update as soon as we can actually put it up in the spring.
