How does this work with an intex above ground pool?

I bought this for my in-ground pool that is free-form with an uneventful and sloped bottom. It works very well, with great vacuuming capacity-picking up leaves, dirt, and even stones. It takes me about 10 minutes to clean the pool bottom each day before swimming. The key is to turn it on before submersing it in the water.

My husband loves it..so easy to clean our pool (18x33) without any problemsWe don't even use the one that hooks up to the pool.. The filter bags does a great job.. You will save a lot of time & it's worth every dime.

I have a above 12*18 foot pool and it works fantastic. No more hassle with hoses and getting the pressure right to vacuum plus using this keeps all that dirt out of your filter. so easy and so worth it

James, I have an Intex pool and used this pump, filter along with my regular pump, filter that came with my pool. I used PVC to create a intake and output to and from the pool. I have no prior PVC experience, and was able to get some pointers from my local Lowes store. I found it was very easy to assemble and my pool water looks great! I have also saved money on chemicals. As for attaching the pump to your side mount system, I think the suction would be too much and probably damage your pool.

It should work. It work with my 18 ft intex pool. It comes with adapters. This our third year using it and we love it.

I have the Intex 1600 gph and it works great on my 18' round. It is powerful and keeps the pool crystal clear!

Scott, the Aquabot Jr. will indeed work in above ground pools. The secret is to only place enough cable in the pool to reach the other side. Note: Some units that climb have difficulty in above ground pools due to the steep angle.

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?

Yes. I placed this product on my Intex 36"X16' above ground pool. Works great.

I can't respond to the specific brand of above ground pool - Intex - because we have a different brand of pool. Our pool is above ground, with rigid metal sides that are very sturdy - it was installed by a pool shop. The cleaner works very well in our pool.

if you have the larger fittings on the plunger valves you can, the hoses with the new pump hook right up. if you have a smaller intex pool, you have to order the adaptors to screw onto the plunger valves, or you can drain the pool below the inlet and outlet valves and replace them. if you have a 20' or 24' intex pool they should hook right up. this pump is amazing, ive had it about a month and a half now, no problems.

I used it with that exact pool. It worked great. You set up the pool and let it fill. Then screw the braces on the side right above the pool ledge. Wait til it's full. Otherwise, the frame sinks a little and the braces aren't sitting on the ledge. I am using it with an INTEX 20ft X 52in and it works great with that, I just moved the braces.

No it cannot be used for above ground pool. It has a base at the bottom that needs to be secured with anchour bolts.

Yes this can be used with any above ground pool depending on the size of your pool outlets. You may need to purchase adapters.

Yes. It comes with different connections And that one should be included. Escapes and intex pools are in essences the same. I empy the catch bag under water by taking vac end off pulling bag out and emtying alway keeping vac head under waterHope it helps. Good luckTip. Make a whirl pool all dirt will settle in middle and vac away

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 don't know what an intex metal frame pool is, but it worked great for my 52" high above ground pool. I hope this helped you.

I don't know. This gets hooked up to your hose, so it has nothing to do with the pump. But it does a great job of getting everything off the bottom of your pool. I have a 10 ft. round Intex pool.

In concept I think it would work, I have an 18' Intex that is 4 feet deep and this unit operates fine and if it runs 5 hrs a day in height of summer it maintains chlorine level fine so maybe with a pool as large as yours it may need to run on a longer cycle. You most likely will need to adapt the plumbing to your pool. You should check with your local pool store as there are chlorine generators made for pools other than Intex products. I will say this system works great and I never add anything to the pool besides a chlorine stabilizer. Hope I offered you some ideas. Good luck.
