If you’re looking for a safe, affordable solution for entertaining kids outside in warm weather, the H2OGO! They’ll love the included inflatable dolphin, which can be connected to your intex baby float garden hose to spray water . The pool as a whole can hold up to 555 gallons of water—and at more than 8 feet wide, there’s plenty of room for multiple kiddos to splash around.
The fittings leak and drip around the hoses to the pumps and filters. This is our second season and the plastic pins break a lot near the bottom. Trying to find the 2.75 long pins is next to impossible to find. If you use the salt water system it is great intex baby float but buyer be ware the poles with lightly rust with the first year. The cover comes off in strong winds, so find an alternative fix. The solar cover, well it doesn’t heat the pool much, but at least it keep the pool water covered and helps keep out debris.
This pool is very easy to set up and take down—no tools are needed. The exterior has a rattan print, and the interior walls have a tile design, making it an attractive addition to your yard. Like all Intex above-ground pools, you can count on high-quality engineering, durability, and weather resistance.
However, currently, there is no law preventing you from running an extension cord out to run your Intex pool pump. As previously mentioned permanent above-ground pools are required to have a dedicated electrical service with a GFI Breaker and Outlet. All steel wall pools have to have the sod removed; I charge $180.00 to do this and to level a yard that is within 6 inches of grade. If you do not have a level area to install your Intex Pool, you should add this cost.
As I said, I install Pools for a living, so I know what it takes. I also sell pools all across the country; handy homeowners can do it. If you think you have what it takes to install a steel wall pool subtract the cost. The various types of Intex pools have different price points. The Easy Set pool starts at under $50 for the smallest sizes and up to $300 for the larger sizes. Even the affordable Easy Set pools come with a pump and filter, everything you need to get started.
