Finally. A video with good instruction, step by step, clear video, not too long and not too short.
The unit heats up fast and is super quiet. It looks fancy czcams.com/users/postUgkxl8Od2BvnGbn1ffwqsuFXW0QnmcZgMiVY and can be kept in the living room. It gets hot within a split second of turning on the unit. The build quality is exceptionally good and is safe to be around kids and pets. This one is super quiet and can be kept on while in office meetings, my wife loved it. It shows the temperature right on the unit which is very useful and adding a rotating feature helps to heat up the surrounding, so other people will not fight with you for heat. It is right as described in the description..!! Definitely recommend!!
Every summer for the last 4 years i'v watched this videi. Thank you.
THX so much! Your video gave me the confidence to buy the Intex 32ft x 16ft x 52in without hiring someone to install it. :) THX
Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina,this was really helpfull!
I have the exact pool since 2019 + same Salt water system, outside, summer and winter. It gets to 15 degree in my area in winter and the pool held perfectly fine. I had a leak in one of the hoses this year and replaced it with the same one from Intex for $3.50. No rust nor leak with the line. Very good quality pool
What salt water system (like which model) would you recommend?
@@annmodroborowski5092 I originally bought the "INTEX 26667EG QS500 Krystal Clear Saltwater System". It stopped working couple weeks after warranty expired. I hacked the wire inside it (learned from youTube ) and made it work again, but still went ahead and bought another similar one (sound stupid, I know, but it's the most affordable one, Plus, the other available ones from different makers do not have great reviews either). I'm surprised though, the original pump that came with the pool still functioning flawlessly until now
That's what you call professional, very helpful, thanks.
BEST video for this I’ve seen yet!!!! And just in general really. You did an excellent filming job! I just got the same pool and am putting it 3’ into ground with a deck built around it that will pretty much be same height as back deck off house. A faux unground pool. Lol
Nice video. I never set mine up the 1st time. Today we changed out the liner. Without plumbing in a proper leaf skimmer like past models your pool will get dirty very fast. I Just cut out one of those 1 inch holes to a 3 inch proper hose connection to connect leaf skimmer I'll block out the middle hole.
I have just purchased this pool for the kiddos.. thank you. Video was great !
I have to say this is one of the best installation videos out there. We just got one too!
Thank you! 🙌 and enjoy your pool! ✨
I'm so glad I paid someone to do it. Thanks
Ours is arriving today and my husband's working late and I'm determined to get this up 😅 wish me luck. Thank you for the tutorial!
Many thanks for sharing. Was really helpful especially since the instructions booklet is useless.
Finally a step by step without all the personal conversations! Thank you!
The restraining straps got me too lol
Ok seriously you guys saved my bacon tonight! I had so many questions about how to install this pool. Thanks for the video 😊
Best pool set up video on CZcams.
Thank you! I had to assemble my 18x9 alone and your video made it possible!!
Hey how did you know how far apart to put the pavers? The instructions don't say and I wanted to do it before set up!
@@shalameindel1061 I actually did the pavers after assembling the pool. The pool legs are easy to maneuver before you fill it with water. That’ll give you the exact location for each paver. I set the pavers out around the pool so I could grab them as I went around to each leg. This helped me with leveling as well.
Hey Joe! Wow thanks for ur quick reply. We have been so stressed out about setting this pool up. Haha I've been watching video after video and this was one of the best. After weeks of leveling the best we can we will attempt set up today :) did u dig out dirt for pavers or just lay them above?
@@shaymeindel2259 I made sure the ground was flat for the pavers, put them down, then checked if the pool was level. I had to dig for some of them in order to level out the pool.
Thanks your video is very helpful. I just want to know how much bigger is the pool with the legs sticking out?
so so easily explained, thank you! watching again cuz it's just so darn easy
Thank you for this vid. Will have to wait until next year for prices to come down
How is this David
Awesome! Guessing you guys have done that a time or two, eh?! Lol..make it look so simple. Easy peasy lemon squeezy😊
Thank you for the very informative, easy to follow video. And thanks for not using too many words and unnecessary details! Too many words, and I get lost lol
I have a similar question. But if they don't answer yours I doubt they will answer mine
Watched several videos before coming to this. This explains so much better than the other ones. Thank you!

Would you recommend buying a used pool? The pool I found has a nice price tag but I’m afraid after watching this video that I may run into missing parts, leaking or just not usable. I’m glad I found you video thank so much for shearing.
You did an amazing job explaining I have looked at a lot but you were the Best!11
Aww thank you! Glad to help!
What is that second "fileter" that is conneccted at the exit of the sand filter?
Awesome and very helpful video, we just bought one of these here in Tennessee. Looking forward to setting it up from your video and enjoying the swim...
Darth!! Loved you in Star Wars!!
Thank you for the video. It was extremely helpful with building our pool yesterday! 👍🙏😊
Thanks, I know this is an old video but hope you see the comment. I got this exact same pool for Xmas and was putting it up today, directions aren't terrible but watching you do it saves a ton of time. BTW: On the diagrams 2, 2.1, 2.2 etc. what's with the sizes? The pool is supposed to be 19' long and the diagram says 157.5" ? That doesn't match in either English or Metric?
thanks for posting this video, the information really helped. I had lost the product manual, i screenshot your video to take it outside and figure it out. It worked!
Awesome! 🙏
Free tip: Styrofoam insulation under the pool.
You two are very hard working. Stay safe ❤
Aww thank you 🙂 you too! 🥰
Thank you so much everyone else just talks and dosent explain.
I have the bigger version of this pool mine is 32' x 16' x 52" I bought on Amazon comes with sand filter after taxes and shipping paid little over $2100
Oh yes y’all know what y’all doing ❤
Thanks!! This helped ALOT I didn’t have the instructions and this helps!!
Good informative video!
I'm considering opening up a saltwater pool this summer, do you add the salt mixture into the water once it's filled and test the water to see if it's balanced properly, or how would I go about that? 🙂
Why would you want it salt
Hi..love the video. I'm about to put mine up today. I bought a saltwater system and wanted to ask how much salt do you add to the 18x 9 pool as you have in the video and which salt do you recommend..thanks! Laz
Hi, can you let me know if the dimensions of 5.49 x 2.74 includes the supports for the pool, or just the pool itself. How much land do you need to fit the pool if the supports aren't included in the 5.49 length. Thanks heaps!!!
Hello, dont you have to put something Hard below the feets of the pool?
Not always but it depends where its being done
Should we install any kind of treated lumber or concrete blocks under each leg to support the weight?
I give you 5 stars. Thanks
Such a well explained and helpful video! Thank you!!
Testimony from anyone who’s left their pools up year round, and during active winters (snow, ice, freezing temps)?…..Is it till standing, durable? How long have you done this?…..Midwest Missouri region for me, and I wouldn’t want to take it down to be honest….Thanks for any input!!!
I live in NE and we had one of these up for like 6 years. They last …
Oh wow, that gives me confidence on possibly purchasing one!…Thanks!!!….👌🏾
Just got to the end YOU ARE SO CUTEEEEE ❤
My wife and I are looking at getting one of these pools, but when I was a kid our pool was just water and HTH Chlorine, so I'm not familiar with the Saltwater set up. What's the difference,like the benefits and Pro's & Cons? Thanks
Hi
First of all thank you very much for the video!
Because I Want to get this excect same pool and this helping me a lot!!!!
Hi great video, do you recommend patio blocks or squares of plywood under the outside braces to avoid them sinking into the ground.
Thank you so much for posting this video helped me so much!
We are thinking of getting one off these your video helped us understand more how it needs to be put together in East instructions.
I had a Question About the dark water system. What does that do exactly and does that mean the pool will he or has to be filled with salt water?
Saltwater just means that you fill it up with your regular garden hose/regular water, and then you add bags of salt (pool salt bags can be bought at any local pool store) to turn your pool water into a saltwater pool! Then you just consistently use testing strips to check the salt levels in the water, and it lets you know if you have too much or too little salt content in the water. Thank you for watching! Glad the video helped you guys :)
Its a very nice n help full vid. Thank u for your efforts guys. I am going to install the pool on a grass ground. My question is should the grass be cover of sands? Because It looks like a leveled ground. I would appreciate if I can get answer. Thank u😀
Yes we used a tiller machine to dig up the grass first, rake away the clumps of grass, and then you put the layer of sand over the dirt
Thank you for saving my hubs and I loads of frustration.
This is really helpful. Thank you!
fak
Thank you for this.. i have the biggest one and I'm so thankful I found this video you guys are amazing
I have a question on how much further out did you have to level the area. I bought a 16 x 8 foot intex pool. Did you have to add a larger area because of the legs.
You might have to shift the pool over slightly to fit the legs and stuff but the area should be fine aslong as its level, we put a tarp and blocks of wood down for ours to hold the legs on.
Wow you move so fast! I can't do that I must be too old.
Beautifully explained I want one do U think Makro has stock
When do you put the salt in? Does the filter need to be running when it's added?
If it rains, your pool will get a dirty exterior. Always best to get some slabs, or decking to put around your pool, that you you wont have to spend hours and hours cleaning the outside of the pool before storage
Looks amazing,
How far out the bottom of the poles sticks out?
Great job super informative very well done.
Thank you for this extremly helpful video! One question: is the saltwatersystem included in this package? Thanks
Great video. Thanks!
thank you
This is a very cool above ground pool.
Need details , I'm off grid , power used is critical, how much power : amps / watts does it need, what kind of plugs etc ?
Great video. Thank you!
Yo no se hablar ingles pero yo compre una piscina igual de uso, mi pregunta, es normal que cuándo se esta llenando la picina se doblen lo tubos hacia dentro?? Porque nunca he tenido una asi vi su video y noto que esta casi agual gracias y muy buen video like.👍
You helped us “ thank you “ 😊
Thank you so much❤👍🏻
Hello & thank you for providing this instructional installation video. This exact brand & pool size is what I'm contemplating purchasing. I have a question, hopefully you can answer, regarding the best performing intex sand filter & saltwater system to go along with this pool. I'm interested in going with the 16" intex 26679eg qx2600 krystal clear sand filter pump & saltwater system. According to the design specs, the minimum pool gallons recommended is 4800, which is slightly more than 4545 gallons that the 18x9 pool is built for. I'd prefer to go with this one because I'd prefer a bit more stronger gpm/gph flow, more water movement, if possible. Based upon your experience, would this be doable or problematic?...Thanks in advance!
Thanks for this video. We are planning on wrapping a deck around this pool in the U.S. Are you able to provide the length and width measurements at the top of the pool in inches? I've heard the pool is not actually 18ft X 9ft. Can you confirm?
Do you have any video on how to initially run the filter and saltwater systems together
I love you guys
Thankyou great tutorial
Thank you for posting. We are installing ours. Our pool is almost full for the sides are leaning inwards. Is that normal?
Thank you 🙏🏾
Hello,
we will shortly also build this pool. Before we still have to prepare the ground and therefore my question. Did you make the grass completely level before the sand came on it or was it more important that the sand is level? How many cm of sand are on the grass?
Greetings from Germany
Make sure ground is level before putting down sand! You'll want to level it to the lowest part of the ground where you will put the pool. Hope that helps!
@@Not_weird_guy How thick is your sand layer
1.5" to 2" I have 6"x6" lumber surrounding the pool to keep sand In place. And I used 16"x16" pavers for under the legs.
Great video, can you install these on a concrete slab?
Nice job!
Very helpful, thank you for this video
Can we use just the sand filter that comes with the pool or do we need to buy something extra like this customer did.
How many 40lb salt bags did you add for a pool this size?
Just got mine second hand (pools are sold out everywhere) and this was pretty informative. Curious when you stuck those fittings though the holes in the side why water doesn’t pour out of them? Is there a flap or something inside?
Yeah it’s nuts this year, stuff is sold out like crazy! Which fittings do you mean? The two black holes on the side wall of the pool where the pump hoses got connected to? Maybe give me the minute mark/timestamp of which part of the video you’re talking about so I can understand exactly what you mean! 🙌😝
The Impressive Mix is kk v h. ☺️
How long does it take from start to finish assembly
Does anyone know what the total width is once set up? INCLUDING the metal legs. We have a 20X9ft space we want to put this. Or is 9ft just for the pool itself (WITHOUT the legs) when filled?
the total is , with legs, 19 feet , by 10 feet !! 9 feet wont make it as you need the extra foot for the legs, Hope this helps
Nice video
I am from India
Hello, is it normal that the side tubes lean inwards when filling? They don't break? I've stopped filling it out of fear it's halfway through.
did u use pavers? I'm sure u did but u can't set them on sand. how did u do the pavers or support mechanism for the legs?
good video - what are the advantages to having a Salt water system
What is the model for the salt generator? Intex 26663EG for 4500 gallons? Or the biggest one
Thank you for putting together such a very helpful video. I recently acquired a used pool exactly the same as you have here, the only problem is it lacks the restrainer straps that connect the U supports to the pool flaps using the 12" plastic pipe. I will be forever grateful if you could tell me the length of the restrainer strap measured from end to end when in place. I'm forced to improvise a substitute since they are nowhere to be found in the U.S.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I don't know/remember the exact width of the straps, but they're basically the same width as the horizontal space between the two long bars of the U-shaped leg. And by the way, it looks like restrainer straps are In Stock on Intex's website as of now! Here's the link: intexcorp.com/replacement-parts/above-ground-pools/ultra-frame/18ft-x-9ft-x-52in/2018/26351eh/pool/10938d-restrainer-strap-for-9ft-x-18ft-x-52in-12ft-x-24ft-x-52in-16ft-x-32ft-x-52in-rectangular-ultra-frame-pools/
@@TheImpressiveMix thanks for replying. I managed to obtain the measurements which are just under 12" x 18" for the restrainer flaps. Because they are currently unavailable from the manufacturer, I have come up with a substitute that may be of use to others in the same situation. Since the flap attached to the pool is 6" wide and the plastic connecting rod is 12" long, that leaves 3" on either side of the pool flap. That leaves enough room for me to use two 18" tie-down straps on either side to connect to the bottom of each of the U-supports to the exposed ends of the connecting rod. I could have gotten by with using only one per side (two per support) but I felt more comfortable distributing any stress on the support over a wider area by using 4 in total.
Would you not think a concrete pad would be a good purchase?
Very helpful, thanks!
Great video. Can I use a heavy duty (industrial type) extension cord for this?
Yes
Yeah you can 🙌
Have a pool exactly like that this is our third summer thinking of converting it to saltwater but love it waiting for the weather to warm up to get in it
Definitely research.. heard alot of people complain that the saltwater version of this pool rust and corroded within first year or 2.
Do have a video on how to add salt to the system? Thanks!
on the top rail, did you ever have issues with your holes in the liner lining up with the rail itself? one end seems to fit and the other end is off?
Thanks. Great job.
