INTEX 26795EH Prism Frame Premium Oval Above Ground Swimming Pool Set
Function Description:
The INTEX 26795EH Prism Frame Premium Oval Above Ground Swimming Pool Set is designed to provide a recreational swimming experience in an outdoor setting. It is an above-ground pool that can be assembled and disassembled by adults. The pool set includes a filter pump, a removable ladder, a pool cover, and a ground cloth, offering a complete solution for a backyard swimming pool.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Dimensions: 16.6ft x 9ft x 48in (503 cm x 274 cm x 122 cm) or 20' x 10' x 48" (610 cm x 305 cm x 122 cm).
- Filter Pump: Includes a 1500 GPH (gallons per hour) Cartridge Filter Pump.
- Assembly Time: Estimated 60-90 minutes (approximate, individual experience may vary).
- Support Pads: For non-concrete ground, pressure-treated wood (15" x 15" x 1.2" or 38 x 38 x 3cm) or steel/reinforced concrete slabs are recommended under each U-shaped support.
- Electrical Requirements: Filter pump must connect to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). No extension cords, timers, plug adapters, or converter plugs should be used.
- Safety Barrier: The top of the barrier should be at least 48 inches above grade. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere. Access gates should open outward, be self-closing, and have a self-latching device.
- Dual Suction Outlets: Designed with dual suction outlets and one inlet fitting to comply with the Virginia Grahame Baker Act (for USA and Canada).
Usage Features:
- Setup: Requires a flat, level, and compact ground free of sharp objects. A ground cloth is provided to protect the liner. The liner should be spread out with the drain valve facing the draining area and allowed to warm in the sun for easier installation. The hose connections should be oriented towards the electrical power source for the optional filter pump.
- Assembly: A team of 2-4 people is recommended for pool set up. No tools are required. Horizontal beams (A, B, C, D) are slid into sleeve openings, and corner joints (6) connect the beams. U-shaped side supports (9) with double button spring-loaded clips (8) are inserted into beam holes. Connecting rods (10) link liner straps to restrainer straps (11).
- Filling: Fill the pool with water up to just below the sleeve line. The side walls and frame structure will lean inward, which is normal to accommodate water movement and pressure.
- Safety: Continuous and competent adult supervision is required. A safety barrier must be installed to prevent unauthorized access. Never dive, jump, or slide into the pool. Do not lean, straddle, or exert pressure on the top rim. Remove all toys and flotation devices when not in use. Keep rescue equipment nearby and emergency numbers posted. Keep the pool clean and clear, with the floor visible at all times. Use proper lighting for night swimming. Stay away from the pool when using alcohol or drugs. Keep children away from pool covers.
- Water Level: If the water flows to one side, the pool is not level and must be drained, leveled, and refilled to prevent sidewall bulging and potential collapse.
- Wrinkle Removal: Wrinkles in the liner can be smoothed from inside the pool by pushing out where the floor and sides meet, or from outside by reaching under the side and pulling the floor out.
Maintenance Features:
- Water Balance and Sanitization: Maintaining proper water balance with sanitizers is crucial for maximizing liner life, appearance, and ensuring clean, healthy, and safe water. Consult a pool professional for chemical, test kits, and testing procedures.
- Chlorine Application: Never let undissolved granular or tablet chlorine come into direct contact with the liner. Dissolve chlorine in a bucket of water before adding it to the pool. Never mix chemicals together; add them separately and dissolve each thoroughly.
- Cleaning: An Intex pool skimmer and vacuum are available for maintaining clean pool water. Do not use a pressure washer to clean the pool.
- Filter Cartridge: Replace filter cartridges every two weeks.
- Rainwater Drainage: Immediately drain rainwater if the water level exceeds the maximum to prevent damage and overfilling.
- Draining and Storage:
- Connect a garden hose to the drain valve on the outside pool wall using the drain connector (14).
- Place the other end of the hose in a safe draining area.
- The drain connector will push the drain plug open, allowing water to drain.
- Lift the pool from the side opposite the drain to completely empty it.
- Disconnect the hose and adapter.
- Re-insert the drain plug and replace the drain cap.
- Disassemble the pool by reversing setup instructions.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before storage. Air dry the liner in the sun and sprinkle talcum powder to prevent sticking and absorb moisture.
- Fold the liner into a compact rectangular shape for storage.
- Store the liner and accessories in a dry, temperature-controlled location between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). The original packaging can be used for storage.
- Winter Preparations (if leaving pool out):
- Clean pool water thoroughly.
- Remove skimmer or accessories from threaded strainer connectors.
- Plug inlet and outlet fittings from inside the pool with provided plugs (for sizes 16' and below) or close plunger valves (for sizes 17' and above).
- Remove and store the ladder.
- Remove hoses connecting the pump and filter.
- Add appropriate winter chemicals (consult a local pool dealer).
- Cover the pool with an Intex Pool Cover (note: not a safety cover).
- Clean and drain the pump, filter housing, and hoses. Discard the old filter cartridge and keep a spare.
- Store pump and filter parts indoors in a safe, dry area between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C).
Troubleshooting:
- Algae (greenish water, black spots, slippery liner, bad odor): Super chlorinate, correct pH, vacuum pool bottom, maintain proper chlorine level.
- Colored Water (blue, brown, black after chlorination): Adjust pH, run filter until clear, replace cartridge frequently.
- Floating Matter in Water (cloudy/milky water): Correct pH, check chlorine level, clean/replace filter cartridge.

Intex 28003E Deluxe Pool Maintenance Kit for Above Ground Pools
Function Description:
The Intex 28003E Deluxe Pool Maintenance Kit is designed to assist in keeping above-ground pools clean by removing debris from the water surface and pool floor. It includes a pool vacuum, a hand-held skimmer net, and a hand-held brush, all utilizing a telescoping aluminum shaft.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Filter Pump Flow Rate Requirement: 800 - 4000 gallons/hour (3028 - 15140 liters/hour). This kit requires a compatible filter pump for operation.
- Telescoping Aluminum Shaft: Adjustable length for reaching different areas of the pool.
Usage Features:
- Pool Vacuum Setup:
- Insert the debris bag (4) into the vacuum body (3).
- Install the vacuum body cover (5) onto the vacuum body (3) and turn clockwise to lock securely.
- Attach the desired cleaning head accessory to the vacuum body cover:
- Flat vacuum nozzle (8) for heavy/mid-large particles (sand, stones) and maneuvering tight corners.
- Vacuum head brush (6) for fine/small debris (dust, dead algae) on the pool floor. Ensure the ridge on the vacuum body cover matches the groove on the nozzle/brush head.
- Attach one end of the vacuum hose (13) to the vacuum body (3), ensuring the hose end covers the hose seal (2).
- Attach the telescoping aluminum shaft (10) to the vacuum body (3) by squeezing the spring tips (1) and checking that the spring "pops" into the pre-drilled holes. Adjust shaft length as needed.
- Screw the adaptor (9) to the threaded strainer connector from inside the pool.
