Purchased for $[...] including shipping. Was a bit unsure at first about the quality/durability at this price. It is now set up and in use and all my concerns were unfounded. This is a relatively new pool design and it is really ingenious. Assembly is straightforward, instructions quite clear, no missing parts and the fit and finish were excellent. Really exceeded my expectation honestly. Best for a family with kids who want to get a fairly large pool up very quickly that should last 5 - 10 years with proper care. Everything needed is included in this package and the pump, filter and chorine generator are adequate for the pool size. The whole pool is assembled with not bolts or screws. You will need blocks to level with the ground for each leg and this can take a couple of hours to do. I would suggest 2 2x6x16" boards side by side rather than patio blocks. Cheaper, more durable, easier to set and easier on the vinyl retainers. At this price I would really be surprised if anyone would be disappointed unless they just didn't understand the different types of pools. I am updating this review after owning the pool for two seasons. I noticed that people are complaining about difficulty taking the pool down for the winter. The simple solution is don't!!! There is no reason to take it down. Just make sure you reomoved the valves and fittings from the side of liner, remove the interior plugs (leave the exerior caps on), and cover it. This will drain the pool a few inches but you just fill it up in the Spring. Whatever wear and tear you think you are saving by trearing it down for the Winter is misguided. The pool can easily withstand the cold weather is closed as indicated above. It is much harder on the liner and frame to take it down with all the prying it off the frame (which would get scratched and eventually rust then) and dragging it around. I hope this helps someone avoid a lot of hard, discouraging work for nothing. I would also strongly suggest getting a sand filter for the pool too. It will save you a lot of time and trouble keeping it clean. Another trick it to make a "bottom drain" by using a 3x3x2" or 3x3x1 1/2" PVC tee with PVC drain grates glued into each 3" end and a hoe barb fitting in the small hole. You can then connect this to the inlet and pull water from the bottom which works better for opening the pool. Once it is clear you can probably just stick with the skimmer for the season.

I purchased this pool through Amazon in April. The pool went up in mid July and the kids absolutely loved it. I added a small deck on one end, a solar heating system, a reel to aid in the removal of the solar cover and pool cover, and eventually added a propane heater to extend our pool season. Previously we owned an inflatable ring pool which we used for five years until my daughters out grew it. I was expecting to get at least the same number of years out of this pool. Well now the pool season is over in my neck of the woods and its time to take down Intex Ultra Frame pool. Everything goes smoothly until I try to take the top frame rails out of the pool liner. The vinyl has welded itself to the frame tubes and won't budge. My wife and I spend a full day attacking the liner with our hands (mainly) and any other tool I could think of to try and get the top frame rails out. After and all day struggle that left our hands bloodied and blistered we were able to get the longer two side rails out. At least we will be able to store the liner in doors this winter. I called Intex to make them aware of this problem. I was told that they were sorry, but the product only carries a 90 day warranty. My guess is that anyone that needs to break this pool down for the winter will run into the same problem that we experienced. I'm sure I'll be buying a new liner sooner that I want too, but considering the investment that I've made in the deck, heater and real the pool was about 25% of the cost of the project. I just wanted to make everyone aware that these Intex Ultra Frame pools don't break down for winter storage and Intex could really care less about the problem. I bumped up my rating from 2 to 3 stars as I feel that the pool has performed well and lasted so far. My original expectation was 5 years and we're almost there. I was checking the Intex site for a liner replacement and they are available. After living with this pool for 3 summers I can tell you the chlorine generator makes maintaining this pool so much easier than adding chlorine like I did with the old inflatable ring pool.
Update 06/26/11:
The liner welding problem should be over with on the tear down this fall. The second year (fall 2009) we were able to get the two long rails out and one of the shorter end sides. Last fall we were able to get all four rails out. It seems that once you spend the time to get the rails out the residue left from the vinyl on the rails keeps it from sticking. So I put the pool up last week for the fourth season. I have at least one small leak in the liner this year-hoping to patch it once we get the pool warmed up. Last year I replaced the included pump/chlorine generator with a higher capacity pump and separate chlorine generator. Upon setting up the pool this year the pump had gone out. Unlike the pool the pumps have a 2 year warranty and I should be receiving a replacement from Intex about a week after filing a claim. I really like the 4000 gph pump and separate chlorine generator setup. It allows you to run the pump longer and not have generate the extra chlorine.

We ordered the Intex 24x12x52 Ultra Frame pool in April of this year. It was delivered on the exact date promised. The area in the yard where we wanted to install it needed to be leveled out, so using a couple of blocks, a string level, and plenty of sweat, we managed to get it all level within about a half an inch. My stepson was home from college, so he helped us install the pool. After doing the inventory of everything, we laid out the ground cover, and spread out the liner. The instructions said to let the liner sit in the sun for a while to soften up the vinyl; however, it was HOT here that day. Thirty minutes of letting it soak up the sun was enough. (NOTE: Do not let the steel tubes soak up the sun - they get too hot to handle!!)
Since all three of us (husband, step-son, and I) wanted to be in charge of this project, it probably took us a bit longer to get the pool up than it should have. After two hours of power struggle, the pool was up and filling with water. Hours later, when the pool was almost full; we noticed a puddle of water on one side. It was growing larger as we watched. Yep, the liner was leaking. After all of the sighing and moaning, I contacted Amazon.com. Their 30-day warranty is to have the pool package returned (at no cost to us) and replace it. All of it... everything! Uh... no!
I then contacted Intex. They were awesome! We had to drain the pool completely, which took two full days. (Only after the water was totally drained did I find the drain connector, which certainly would have come in handy!) I then had to cut specific pieces of the liner out, box them up and send back to Intex in California. Once they received the box of `liner pieces', they promised to send us a new liner. And that's exactly how it happened. It took a week to get the liner pieces to them and then another week for the new liner to arrive via UPS. The new (replacement) liner is a 2007 model, but...other than a few differences in appearance, it worked out the same. The second installation was a piece of cake! Stepson wasn't here and I got to be in charge! We used pressure treated lumber to place under the wall supports. Our ground is clay, and we worked our butts off getting it all level. In less than an hour we were filling the pool! (Had hubby been "in charge," it likely would have taken twice as long!)
When it was time to add the 210 pounds of salt, I took charge of the broom. Hubby poured the salt in and I kept it moving to help facilitate the dissolving process. That didn't take long at all. Two days later we were enjoying the pool. It's not exactly long enough to swim laps, but it is big enough to cool off, have fun and relax. My only regret is not getting the largest one Intex makes.
We were impressed with the innovative design and quality. Simple design, well-constructed, clear instructions, and well-thought-out technical parts (pump/filter/strainer/chlorinator/accessories). The only gripe is that the ladder could be wider and more sturdy (OK size for kids, but it's a bit insubstantial for adults - even those less than 140lbs). Yes, the first liner had a leak, but Intex responded wonderfully and as quickly as possible. Their warranty process worked great! So far so good on the second liner. I would recommend this pool to others. However, if another leak appears, I'll be back to update this review!
UPDATE OCTOBER 15, 2008: When we took the pool down for the winter, the vinyl had welded to the posts. After struggling with it for about 20 minutes, we thought of rubbing alcohol. We poured some in a spray bottle and sprayed it under the vinyl and let it sit for a few. Then we used one of the black, plastic rods to work the vinyl free from the posts. (slip rod under vinyl and work toward welded part) It worked like a charm and the liner was not damaged at all. So yes, we still love this pool!
