Why Choose the Intex Prism Frame Pool?
This pool is the perfect choice for families seeking fun and relaxation without the cost or hassle of large installations. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller yards while still delivering the durability and refreshment of a full-size above-ground pool.
Stay cool. Stay safe. Stay refreshed with Intex.
The pool is a good size for a couple of adults to float around in or for 4-5 children. It fit perfect on a 10x10ft patio and came with a cover. The pump is a different issue and is undersized for the pool. We were having to run if 4-6 hours a day and change the filters about every other day because they are so small. I highly recommend up grading to the 1000 GPH pump. You will only need to run it about 2 hours a day and change the filters about once a week.
After asking me for the same info over and over, I finally got snippy with them. They sent a replacement liner last week, so I've changed my rating from 1 star to four stars. I'll have to wait until next year to see if the replacement is leak-free.
Another Update:
It's been months since I started the support request process. I have sent everything they've asked for and today I received yet another request for info that I've already sent multiple times. I firmly believe that they are just trying to wear me down into dropping the request for a replacement liner...but I AM STRONG AND WILL NOT GIVE UP!
Update: I submitted a request for warranty support, including all the info about the pool, the purchase date, the Amazon info, etc. They sent a response from a "no-reply" mailbox asking me to reply with info about the pool...the purchase date, the Amazon info, etc. (Rolls eyes.) I sent another request to their website, but I'm not optimistic that I'll get any type of meaningful response.
Original review:
Wanted to like this but after setting it up we found that it has a couple of slow leaks at the seams, so it can’t be patched. It still holds water so we’ll just keep refilling it so the kids can use it for the rest of the summer.
The only thing I would like to know, if there is a small pool heater that would be recommended.
Honestly the pool is strong enough it may have been fine, and that was my fault. On the other hand this pool does have a weakness, and that is the pump. It has barely any water flow, and it took a lot off effort just to get the air out of the tube as it flowing fast enough to move the air out. Even after that I still had to let air of the pump every day for about 3 days before it finally ran smoothly. (I wonder if peoples pumps failing after 4 days is due to them to not re-checking the prime and basically running air in the pump without knowing).
Overall It is worth the price, and I will probably by a bigger version of this in the future once my kids are bigger (although I may by a stronger pump as I don't really trust the included pumps).
That said, I've learned a trick that works pretty well to both extend the life of the filters and make the skimmer somewhat effective. If you cap one of the two pump outlets and attach a skimmer to the other, stretch a skimmer sock (available on Amazon) over the floating blue skimmer insert, then hang it at an angle so that most of the sock is underwater, it does a pretty good job of collecting surface debris. This has also made my pump filters last much longer (it's been more than 2 weeks since I added the skimmer/sock setup and haven't had to even rinse the filter yet). You do have to rinse the skimmer sock off every day or so (I just lift it out and hose it off), but that's way easier than cleaning the filters.
Also, I've dealt with a nasty algae bloom after the chlorine levels fell too far while we were out of town and it's a pain to recover from (you can see some remaining in my picture), so don't slack on your chlorine tablets/tests! I find that keeping a couple 1" tablets in the floater (sold separately) at all times is about right, but your mileage may vary so I definitely recommend getting a chlorine/ph test kit. It's way easier to prevent than remove algae, though if you do end up in this situation, adding a cup or two of bleach every day until the algae clears seems to work as a poor-man's "shock" (just be sure to wait to swim until the chlorine levels fall back into a safe range). Or, drain it, scrub it out good, and start over, though obviously you don't want to do this too often.
