How to Install Intex Pools
Intex provides people with an affordable alternative to the traditional in-ground or metal wall above ground pool. One of the biggest benefits to an Intex pool is the small amount of time from unpacking to set up and fill. Intex has developed a soft-side pool that takes less than ten minutes to set up on level ground. These pools are sturdy enough to use for years, and compact enough to store for the winter.
