Can it be used in small pools like the Intex quickset pools? I'm in TX and our pool gets like bathwater.

Penny....this product will aid in the removal of phosphates from any pool that uses a filtration device. If there are no phosphates, then there will be no algae

Hi I use it in a pool that is 16x32 it is the best thing I have ever used 3 cups plus one 3" chlorine tab a week and it stays Christal clear Amazon is the best place to get this it comes from in the swim but is cheaper from Amazon just go by the directions and you should be fine.

Hi Penny, I believe you can use it on your pool. Your best bet is to call a pool store like Leslie's and ask them. Pool Perfect is an all natural product but its best you ask a pool professional.

Note sure. The directions state "use one capful per 8000 gallons", so I think your pool is too small? There is contact information: 800-753-1233 or www.naturalchemistry.com. Great stuff for large plaster pools.

I do not know. We have a solar-heated inground plaster pool that also gets like bathwater. I have been very happy with this product's ability to prevent algae growth.

Our pool is in it's third summer and doing fine. The salt is wearing on the metal frame; I'm sure in a couple years it will need replacement. The motor is a different story. We have had a myriad of problems though I will say intex goes above and beyond at fixing the problem and making it right. They replace parts right away. Just make sure you have all your purchase info in a safe place; you'll use it! I would say though, Diana, at $750 this pool does pay for itself quick in terms of entertainment value.

I see no reason you couldn't use it for an in ground pool. I'd guess you'd need to prime your system to avoid a possible air lock on your system. I have an above ground pool so all I really need to do is manipulate a few valves, but you do not have that option since your pump is higher than the water level. It's a very good pump motor... Good luck!!!

I'm not sure about your specific pool, but I have an Intex 18' Easy Set pool, and I was able to cobble up something by taking a trip to the plumbing section of my local hardware store. Cost about $15 in fitting for me, but it works like a charm and since it is below the water, no one notices it. The fountain is great. Really adds a nice feature, for a low cost.

sure. we use this in intex pool and pore with filter running in pool to mix. just pore slow and dissolves quickly.can swim in 15 minutes. use the pool test strips to test before and after.

I have a 12'x30" above ground Intex pool. It works great, HOWEVER, you must order the adapter from the Circulator website if you have this type of pool. I STRONGLY recommend contacting Wes through the Circulator website BEFORE purchasing any adapters as there are a couple of different ones. Explain to him what your filter parts look like (white/beige, white/blue, etc) and he will get you the exact part you need. Otherwise, works great!

Should be fine but you must have the sand filter pump, mine is intex ultra 18x48 round with intex sand filter pump work fine. The pump came with the pool no power. Have fun!!

Yes. Mine is a 15x4 Intex pool with metal frame and soft sides. It works great.

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.

I use it in our in ground pool. Works better than our old rectangle-shaped one.

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?
1084543
Yes. My pool is below ground level and it works fine, even around steps. Above ground pools are an issue because of the ladders.

Perhaps check where u got your pool. If not get bigger for sure. I don't recommend this specific product!!

I used it in a 25000 gal. pool. I worked great in my pool. I'm not real sure how it would work in a hot tub. In my hot tub I throw in a tablespoon of chlorine once a week and that seems to work well. I think they have a smaller model for just hot tubs.

Unfortunately, I am from New Hampshire so I would not be the best one to answer this particular question. I don't see the temperature issue being a major one, other than the water would become quite warm, but that would happen with even in-ground pools in your part of the country. You might have to use a little more in the way of chemicals and have to "top off" the water every few days due to evaporation (but that would also keep the pool water cooler). In any event, we bought our intex easy set pool for $200 and for that money, we felt it was worth the experiment of trying an above-ground pool. It was a definite success. Good luck with your decision.

I'm sorry, but this is my first season with my INTEX pool. I live in Central Florida, so I'll be using my pool for another 6 weeks or so. However, I do plan to empty the pool, leaving the ring inflated, then completely dry the inside. I'll fold it to the best of my ability and put it in the shed. It doesn't get that cold here, so it should be OK until Spring. Good luck with your pool!

I have not seen KD pools before, but from what I saw from the KD site its products looks similar to Intex products. verify if materials and thickness of the liner are similar. If they are similar it should work.
