Hi, this is Steve over at Aqua Products. We have not had problems with this unit and Intex pools, but that is not to say it could not happen. My recommendation is to proceed with caution as this will not be covered under the warranty.

It has not damaged our Intex Ultra Frame pool. We used it the last two years and it has done a wonderful job - leaves nothing behind. Highly recommend this...

I have been using it for over a year now, and it hasn't caused any damage! It does, though, tend to flip over very often. You just have to make sure it's on the right track every half an hour or so. Other than that, it does an amazing job! It definitely picks up a lot in just two hours, and it's really easy to put together. I recommend it for any type of pool. :)

I doubt it as it's lightweight plastic construction. I LOVE this product and have been using it for several years now for my 18' above ground pool. My electrical box broke and they were going to charge me nearly as much as what I had originally paid for it so I bought one on Amazon last week. That one was defective as it would only move forward and not back like it's suppose to so I sent it back and got another one and low and behold same problem! -_- So I would advise to keep all shipping boxes intact in case this happens to you. Amazon is great about shipping it back free.

Honestly, I don't know what kind of pool that is, but mine is an above ground with a vinyl liner and the Pool Rover Junior is cleaning it really well... It is very gentle when it goes from side of pool to the other, but I believe I would check with the manufacturer first...

Best answer would be, probably not. You would have to know what type of threading is on your non Intex equipment and what type of threading Intex in using. This type of hose screws onto the pump inlet and outlet as well as the side of the pool.

I just read on the Intex website that this is caused by suntan lotions and sunblocks that float on the water and accumulate at the sides. They recommend cleaning the inflatable ring after each use with a damp cloth, and cover the pool when the pool is not in use with a pool cover.

Yes it can if your willing to cut the side of the pool. http://www.troublefreepool.com/installing-thru-wall-skimmer-in-intex-confused-t49225.html If the link doesn't work Google trouble free pool intex through wall skimmer

Why wouldn't it. The only thing that changes is the amount of salt you would use based on how many gallons of water your pool holds......it's awesome while it works...unfortunately mine worked 8 weeks....Intex customer service is poor. They are replacing the "part" but it's taking days to process the claim and they refuse to ship any way other than ground. Which means I have to wait at least 8 more days to get my part. I initially loved it. Their poor reliability and and even poorer customer service has made me negative on the product. Just being honest.

I installed the Hydro Tool skimmer on my Intex brand steel supported above 4'X 16' ground pool a year ago and have had no problems. Your pool has to have exterior support. It is easily installed even when there is water in the pool . The only thing that will worry you is the first time it rains. The excess water percolates through the top giving the appearance of a leak. Have had mine for almost two years now and it's great. I hope this helps.

I LOVE mine for my Intex. It's way more than you need which means the pool is effortlessly sparkling. Super easy to set up and maintain. I hardly use and chemicals.

mine has a minor slope so it is just a little fuller on one side the edges of the pool itself are pretty strong

Really needs a rail to screw the bases into... If the intex pool has a flat rail around the top, then yes. If not, then I doubt it.

I don't know. I removed it from my pool. It seemed to do nothing and my new pool man told me to remove it.

My pool is 16 x 32 soft sided intex pool and this pump and sand filter works great for me

Yes , I have a 7500 gallon soft side pool and keeps water clear. Make sure you take inside for winter. I found the hard way things bust if you do not .

My newer Intex pump is working better than the one that came with my 18x48 hardsided pool.As long as the fittings will match up, it is definitely worth a try..

Get another pool guy! My guy just folds it to one side, cleans the pool and then does the other side. He has never mentioned to me the need for more chemicals, algae concerns etc....

I need an answer to this very question as well. So far the answers seems to conflict each other. Anyone else have experience with using this on an intex metal frame pool?

I have the 18 ft cover and an Intex pool, the cover touches all the sides with a couple of inches left over. I never trimmed mine, as it finds it way down naturally and lays pretty flat. I am not sure if a 15 ft cover would be as generous as this one, if it were, I would say you are probably safe. I have a lot of bunching up in areas that aren't laying flat. Ironically, that is where the water is the warmest. Just know, personally, I think trimming it would be a pain. It is a very large piece of plastic and even standing in the pool, as you cut, you might end up with those little bubble pieces.

Yes, I have a soft side Intex 16" that I am using mine with. You may need to buy some hose adapters as some skimmers on soft side pools have smaller hoses than what is needed on this pump.
