Intex Ultra XTR 18ft x 52in Above Ground Pool Set with Sand Filter

Description

Product Overview

The Intex Ultra XTR 18ft x 52in Above Ground Swimming Pool is engineered for durability, ease of assembly, and long‑term enjoyment. Constructed with a high‑strength galvanized steel frame that has been powder‑coated for rust resistance, the pool stands up to the harshest outdoor conditions. The 3‑ply PVC walls feature a puncture‑resistant core, UV inhibitors, and a reinforced bottom that together provide a robust barrier against leaks and sun damage. With a capacity of 6,981 gallons, the pool comfortably accommodates families, small parties, and recreational swimming sessions.

Included in the package are all essential components: a sturdy aluminum ladder, a high‑flow sand filter pump (model #26645EG), a 94‑inch telescoping cleaning kit with interchangeable vacuum and skimmer heads, a durable pool skimmer, and a reinforced pool line. The sand filter system utilizes Krystal Clear sand media to deliver crystal‑clear water, while the 6‑function control valve allows you to filter, backwash, rinse, recirculate, and drain with a single turn of the knob. This comprehensive set eliminates the need for additional purchases, giving you a ready‑to‑use swimming solution right out of the box.

Designed for quick assembly, the Ultra XTR frame employs a unique locking system that snaps together without the need for additional tools or locking pins. The T‑joints are precision‑engineered to distribute weight evenly, ensuring a stable and level pool even on uneven ground. The frame’s modular design also simplifies storage and transport, making it an ideal choice for seasonal use or relocation.

Usage

This pool is perfect for a variety of outdoor environments, from suburban backyards and patio decks to community parks and temporary event spaces. Its round shape and generous dimensions make it suitable for swimming laps, water games, and relaxation. Parents will appreciate the safety features, such as the non‑slip ladder and sturdy frame, while adults can enjoy a refreshing dip after a day of work or a weekend barbecue.

Because the pool is above ground, it can be installed on most flat surfaces, including concrete, grass, or compacted soil. The included sand filter pump efficiently circulates water, reducing the need for frequent water changes and helping maintain a balanced chemical environment. The cleaning kit’s telescoping shaft reaches the bottom of the pool, allowing you to remove debris without draining the water, which saves both time and water resources.

Seasonal use is straightforward: simply drain, clean, and store the pool components during the off‑season. The frame’s corrosion‑resistant coating and the PVC walls’ UV protection ensure that the pool can be reassembled year after year with minimal wear. Whether you are hosting a summer pool party, teaching children to swim, or simply looking for a private oasis, the Ultra XTR delivers reliable performance.
