Just bought the intex 18 X 9 pool and just wanted to make sure this is what we need and it is big enough for our pool. Have not put the pool up, but wanted to get the best system before we put er together. Friend said this is what we need. Is it???

I have an 18ft round pool and upgraded the pump to the intex 1600 Gph and filter and salt system and it keeps my pool crystal clear. I was going to buy the bigger pump and I am glad I decided on this one.

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.

Yes....we have an intex 16ft. round pool with a frame. Works great for us! Just wanted to add that the ladder is approximately 12 in. higher than the pool but it is still very sturdy. Of course, I would still use caution when in use even though everyone from my 200lb husband to my 3 yr old use it everyday and I feel VERY comfortable with them doing so. Ladder that came with pool was not well made and an accident waiting to happen in my opinion. Another plus is that this ladder does not hurt your feet! Good luck, I hope this answered your question.

18 X 48 pools normally come with a 1500 GPH pump. For the small difference in price, I would upgrade to the 2500 GPH model. I went through several pumps that were the size that came with my pool. I went to the next size up, & besides doing a better job of filtering, I haven't had any failures of the pump motor. I would also recommend the intex filters over those from Walmart. There's quite a difference in the amount of paper folds & they will do a better job on the small silt, etc. Be sure to get the right size. (Available from Amazon of course) Ron

Scott, I have an above ground 16 x 32 oval pool with one side open to our large deck. I used 2 base kits. However, to determine how many kits you need, you must count your panels (spaces between) between your wall uprights. That will give you the amount of sections you need. I ordered two "base" kits to do 14 sections and had some left over. Just know that they sell another kit...I think that is to finish off the ends, so check it out online. The fence supports mount on your pool wall uprights. That means that you will have to leave an entire section open in order to use your ladder. I had to customize some of the vinyl fence supports to mount to the railing around my deck (because of insurance reasons, I could have no open fence areas around the pool since I have steps into the pool from the deck, not a removable ladder). I used a drill and a Dremel tool to modify some of the vinyl uprights which was not too difficult to do and then mounted them to the large deck rail uprights on my deck to finish off my installation. Maybe you can create a removable panel where your ladder goes in? That way you can completely close off your pool when it is not in use in case a child were to try to climb over the wall. You should know that you need to cut EACH section to size and that will take some careful measurement and cutting. The whole installation took me a day and a half, working alone without any other help. Just remember to measure twice and cut once since I don't recall any extra pieces being in the kit! I am pleased with the product and it saved me from having my insurance cancelled and having to fence in a very large yard...so it was worth every penny. Good luck! Sincerely, Tom V.

Im wondering if this worked for you? I have the same pool which is about 10,000 gallons- higher than the 7,000 it states. I read that you just need to look at how much the pump cycles per hour- was this one big enough for you? How's it working?

This is for the "Pool". Look for Ecosmart "spa" size and I would go with their biggest one.

You have everything that you need in the kit. This kit can also be used for a summer escapes pool, with the wall skimmer. But, you will have to use the vacuum adapter that came with the pool, as you do not have the round inlet like the Intex pools have. Again, I use mine with a Summer Escapes 18 X52 pool, and have had no problems at all.

I bought this pump for an 18x3.5 above ground pool and it worked well. I also had an Intex Salt chlorine generator. Flow was awesome. Hope this helps...

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?

No you will not need this if you have the Intex pool. This item is for SE pools that have a skimmer hanging outside the pool. so dont buy this. I have a SE pro serise pool and bought a same filter system like yours to replace the cheapie pump that came with the pool and this is exactly what i need. Fyi this 16" pump takes 150lb of sand and just enough to filled to the right level hope this helps

I purchased a 9' x 18' retangular pool. You wil need to add 2' to each side minimum. I purchase a screen cover for my pool. It keeps all the insects and trash out. That is the key to low maintance.

I did not keep the product. It did not fit with the Intex pool I owned. I sent it back. I would call the company. I found the description of the product to be misleading.

Vow! Your pool is huge, but mine is small. I would suggest you using 2. You will love them taking care of your beautiful pool.

We are using this pump on our 12' x 24' x 4' soft sided intex pool and it did famously for our 2013 summer season !! Not one issue, I recommend it.

No but this is the best system for the price. We have a 13,000 pool and it works like a charm.
