Intex 54469EB Review by B. Harrington (Plymouth, MA USA)
We had previously had an Intex quick set pool which was pretty good but when I saw these Ultra-Frame pools I was a bit worried about the quality. Well let me say I was pleasantly surprised and am very happy with my purchase. These pools, while not nearly as study as a traditional above ground pool, are very well made and the price is cheap by comparison. Below I've categorized our experience as a whole and while not perfect due to some shipping issues, overall it's been worth it.
1. Shipping - Unfortunately we had some issues. First the carrier (delivered by freight) failed to show up on two different scheduled delivery dates. Second, the box the pool is delivered in was in pretty rough shape and had essentially split open once off the truck. Also keep in mind this thing is very heavy, took a dolly for me to move it around myself, once I'd taped the box back together that is. Luckily Amazon did refund our shipping costs due the the carriers failure to deliver as scheduled.
2. Pool Setup - The pool itself couldn't be simpler to setup. Just be absolutely sure you have firm, level ground to place the pool on, it's critical. Other than that, just layout the ground cloth, spread the liner out and snap the frame together, stand it up and start filling with water. Not tools required. Honestly the supplied stairs were harder to setup than the pool and those were pretty easy too.
3. Filter Setup - The filter is a Saltwater/Filter combo in one unit and again, it's very simple to setup. Thread in two plunger valves to the pool liner, thread on the inlet screen and outlet jet, then thread in two hoses to the valves an then the filter unit. Done, and again, no tools required. Of course you need to have an available GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet close by and I'd recommended investing in an outdoor rated extension cord if you use one. Once the filter is running, you add your salt and let it dissolve for 24 hours. Next you just program the saltwater chlorine generator to run for the recommended 5 hours per day and your done.
4. Included Maintenance Kit - The pool comes with the following included accessories in the maintenance kit and all are of pretty good quality. Surface skimmer - Just attach to the side of the pool and connect to the filter pump inlet. The skimmer traps any debris floating on the surface. Pool Vac - this attaches to the skimmer when needed and allows you manually vacuum the bottom of the pool. It has it's own screen to prevent clogging your filter. Net / Brush - Each attaches to the same pole as the Pool Vac and their use is obvious I think.
I would highly recommend this pool for anyone who isn't looking for a permanent above ground pool. These are great for do-it-yourself types, seem well made, and should last a few seasons if taken care of.
Intex 54469EB Review by April Chin
My parents bought this pool for us for my 34th birthday! ;) It was the perfect thing for me as my bday's in April and I was 21 weeks pregnant with baby #3 at the time with the long, VERY hot SoCal summer ahead of me!! Setup was easy enough that even our boys (5 & 8) got to help out with some of the setup. The ladder could be a bit sturdier but is better than some and we'll be replacing it soon enough with a different one.
This pool is the same as the 54451E only it comes with the saltwater filtration system/pump instead. The pump/filter is a workhorse at 2000 gph, it's the Water Filtration Pump with a Built-in Chlorine Generator model #56611. Definitely a great deal with this package!!
All in all, an excellent deal, excellent quality...just...EXCELLENT!
Intex 54469EB Review by Joseph Parrinello
I bought this pool from Amazon the beginning of May 2011 for $799.00 delievered to my front door. I was a bit worried even though the reviews were very good on this pool. I leveled the ground myself. It was pretty flat to begin with but I didn't want any issues with it when I began to set it up. The delievery truck showed up as scheduled and the truck driver had a hand truck and a lift tailgate thus making and easy drop off in my driveway. The box was pretty big and had one tear in it but nothing was damaged inside. Inside the box were smaller boxes which made it easy for me to bring everything into the back yard. I used the help of another person to get the liner in place and facing the right direction with the filter ports in the right spot. The pool and frame went together easily in about an hour. It took me much longer to level the ground than to assemble the pool. But as in any job the prep work always takes the longest.
I filled the pool overnight and then put in about 170 pounds of salt. This pool is almost 7000 gallons and salt cost about 40 bucks. The filter really surprised me. I expected a piece of junk but was pretty impressed with the water flow. The salt water chlorine generator and copper ion producer is what really blew me away. It's been almost a month and the water is chrystal clear. I never get slimy alge building up on the sides. And no cloudy water. Even with the annoying Florida Love Bugs that swarmed the past few weeks I had no problems. The vacuum accessories that come with it, while not being the best, do the trick. Only the ladder that came with it is a bit flimsy and I think if you're over 200 pounds you'll have some trouble on it.
I have already been in it almost every day since I got it and I can honestly say it was well worth the money and I would indeed recommend this pool to anyone. This is one of the best investments I have made in a long time!!
