    Default New Intex Pool owner...

    Recently purchased 10' x 3" Intex Metal Frame Pool. We have two 4 year olds and this is perfect for them and good enough for us.

    However, I struggled with vacuuming it. NOTHING worked just right and I didn't want to spend more on a vacuum than I did on the pool. [ DELETED BY ADMINISTRATOR ] Even with just a 530 gph, it got the fine sand and dirt up. I did have to modify the inline filter bag though by putting a cut off nylon sock in the filter bag to keep the sand and dirt from just going through the filter and back into the pool by the return.

    It's not perfectly level. It's off by about an inch. But it hasn't been a problem. Since we are set up on black top(I have foam rubber pads like you get for a childs play room floor between the black top and pool) there really isn't a good way to level it completely. Sand was not a good option because it moves like marbles over glass when it's on blacktop.

    All in all, we love our little Mini pool. I would highly recommend Intex pools to anyone looking for an inexpensive pool.
