I've owned my Intex XTR 9 x 18 ft metal frame pool for five years, and it's been a fantastic addition to our family. I've upgraded it over time and tested numerous accessories, which I'm happy to share my experiences with! I've also included pool essentials for cleaning and some fun decor idea lists. Happy swimming!
