Intex swimming pools are an investment in family fun. As the owner of an Intex swimming pool for the past five years, I can personally attest that our inflatable pool has made our summers much more fun without ever having to leave the house.

Intex swimming pools come in different sizes to fit every budget and backyard. If you have young children, you can purchase the smaller Intex Easy Set pool as a starter pool like we did. If you have older children, you can purchase the larger Intex metal frame pools. With so many choices, you are bound to find a pool that suits your needs.

Which Type to Purchase

Intex swimming pools come in various sizes. The Intex Easy Set Pool ranges in size from 8' x 30" to 18' x 48". These are incredibly easy to set up and maintain. Our son became our pool boy when he was five years old! Just lay out the pool liner on a flat piece of ground, inflate the top ring, and fill with water! Our twins love to spend the day in the pool as it fills with water.

The Intex Metal Frame Pool ranges in size from 10' x 30" to 16' x 48". As your children get older and you enjoy the ease and care of your own backyard Intex swimming pool, you may consider buying a larger one. These are also easy to set up and require no tools for assembly.

The Intex Rectangular Frame Pool comes in three sizes-18' x9' x 52", 24' x 12' x 52", and 32' x 16' x 52". A rectangular shape is a more traditional shaped pool. It is easy to assemble and you can invite a lot more people to your backyard party!

If you like the round shape of a pool but do not want an inflatable one, then the Intex Round Ultra Frame Pool is a good alternative to the Easy Set pool. It comes in two sizes-16' x 48" and 18' x 52".

Where to Buy Your Intex Swimming Pool

Many stores sell Intex swimming pools. We bought our first one at Kohl's, on sale with a 30% off coupon. It lasted for two years, until our kids needed the next size. We decided to order it from the Intex website. Two years later, we ordered the large round metal set pool. Imagine having your very own swimming pool delivered right to your doorstep! Our twins were jumping up and down with excitement!

Many online stores, like Amazon, as well as brick and mortar, sell Intex pools, so you will not have a difficult time finding one. If you wait just a bit into the summer season, you will incredible sales on them.

Intex Pool Supplies

Everyone is trying to save money. When purchasing pool supplies, we learned that the best pool supplies for your Intex swimming pool are the actual Intex brand. From our experience, the cheap filters you can buy at Walmart simply do not do as good a job at keeping the pool clean as the Intex brand.

In fact, we bought a larger Intex filter that keeps our pool even cleaner than the filter that came with the pool.

Overall, owning an Intex swimming poolhas been a positive and rewarding experience for our family. After school, we invite a few of our children's friends over to play in the pool. After dinner, a quick dip is refreshing and great way to relax after a long day of work and school. On weekends, we just take out the grill and barbeque and play together in our Intex pool. If you have enough backyard space, I highly recommend getting one.
