Setup
Setting up your Intex Ultra XTR pool requires careful attention to site preparation and assembly. It is recommended that at least two people are involved in the assembly process.
- Site Preparation: Choose a perfectly level area for installation. Uneven ground can lead to structural instability and potential collapse. Do not build up the ground; only remove excess soil to level the area.
- Ground Cloth Placement: Lay the included ground cloth on the prepared level surface. This protects the pool liner from debris and punctures.
- Frame Assembly: Assemble the galvanized steel frame components according to the detailed instructions provided in the separate assembly guide. The precision-engineered locking system and composite T-joints ensure a secure and tool-free setup.
- Liner Installation: Carefully spread out the pool liner within the assembled frame. Ensure it is centered and free of wrinkles.
- Filling the Pool: Begin filling the pool with water. As the pool fills, the sides will naturally straighten out. Monitor the water level and ensure the frame remains stable. The pool has a water capacity of 14,364 gallons at 90% fill.
- Pump and Filter Connection: Connect the Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump and Saltwater System QX2800 according to the instructions. Ensure all hoses are securely fastened to prevent leaks.
- Ladder Assembly: Assemble and place the removable ladder securely against the pool wall. Ensure it is stable before use.
The Ultra Frame design allows for quick setup, with the pool ready for water in approximately 90 minutes after initial assembly of the frame and liner.

Operating the Pool System
Your Intex Ultra XTR pool comes with a Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump and Saltwater System QX2800, designed for optimal water quality.
- Sand Filter Pump: The sand filter pump has a flow rate of 2,650 gallons per hour and performs six functions: Filtration, Backwash, Rinse, Recirculate, Drain, and Close System. Refer to the pump's specific manual for detailed operation of each function.
- Hydro Aeration Technology: The filter pump incorporates Hydro Aeration Technology, which improves water circulation, filtration, and clarity by increasing negative ions.
- Chlorine Generation: The integrated saltwater system generates chlorine from salt, providing a continuous supply of sanitizer for your pool. Follow the instructions for adding pool salt and operating the chlorine generator.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for extending the life of your pool and ensuring clean, safe swimming conditions.
- Sand Filter Maintenance: The sand in your filter only needs routine backwashing and typically requires replacement every 5 years. Consult the filter pump manual for backwashing procedures.
- Water Chemistry: Regularly test and balance your pool's water chemistry, including pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels.
- Cleaning: Use the included Deluxe Pool Maintenance Kit to keep your pool clean. This kit typically includes:
- 110-inch telescoping aluminum pole
- 24ft 7in hose with connector for filter
- Deluxe vacuum head with 2 nozzles and 1 scrubber
- Leaf rake head with deep skimmer net
- Curved wall brush head
- Pool Cover: Use the provided pool cover when the pool is not in use to prevent debris from entering and to reduce water evaporation.
- Winterization: While the pool frame is designed for durability, it is generally advised to take down and store the pool during winter months to prolong its lifespan, especially in regions with freezing temperatures.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Intex pool, consider the following common solutions:
- Water Clarity Issues: Ensure your filter pump is running for adequate periods daily. Check the sand filter for cleanliness and backwash if necessary. Verify chemical levels are balanced.
- Pump Malfunction: Check power connections and ensure the pump is properly primed. Refer to the pump manual for specific troubleshooting steps.
- Leaks: Inspect the pool liner for any visible punctures or tears. Check all hose connections for tightness. Small punctures can often be repaired with a patch kit (sold separately).
- Frame Stability: Ensure the pool is on a perfectly level surface. Any shifting of the ground can affect frame integrity.
