I forgot to add in your other pool video that rain also causes rust. When you put up your new one try snd treat it with some rustolium to help prevent it from rusting.
After watching you're other videos, I'm going to suggest that your water is not well balanced. You should not have that much buildup on your SWCG, especially not that often. The amount of rust you have also highly suggests this. As does the bleaching of your liner. You may be adding too much salt to your water. Your chlorine levels may be too high. Intex and intex-like pools are not intended to be permanent pools. They aren't intended to last, however, you should not have that much rust. You really need to be testing your water daily. Don't take a sample to the pool store, they're known for being incorrect so they can sell you something. Buy a Taylor kit and salt level test kit. Buy a separate SWGC so you can NOT run it when your chlorine is too high. It's also a good idea to rinse down your pipes/supports after each swim. A lot of people want to blame the pool quality for the rust. Pool stores/builders will also blame the quality of Intex and other brand "portable pools," but really it is the improper balancing of chemicals that is the biggest culprit. If your cleaner doesn't run well along the floor, you've got wrinkles or divots or your pump pressure isn't high enough or the cleaner is full. I've had mine for 4 years and have never had an issue with it. Also, be sure you're connecting it to the INLET side, NOT suction. Building a permanent deck around a temporary pool is never a good idea. If that's what you want, you might as well invest in a permanent pool. You can even buy kits to install them yourself. You'll spend about as much, considering how much the price of these temporary pools has gone up since 2019. Bearing in mind that if you are not properly balancing the Chems in a permanent pool, you'll soon run into problems with that, too.
The foam insulation boards worked great. It made for a very flat smooth floor with very little effort. I had no issues at all with it. Definitely worth the extra money of the panels.
@@PursuitofHappiness I just had a 13x22x3’Deep hole dug to put mine down into. Building a deck straight out from back slider that 🤞🏼will all be same height as pool. Decking it all around with a 4” end cap on deck edges that will hide the bar edge. Maybe that will help keep it from rusting! Was the pool that rusted the newer Ultra XTR version? I wonder if wrapping the corners with those foam tubes they have to insulate hot water pipes wud help?
@@013686 Mine was the older version. I be heard the XRT version is better. Mine had no paint or protection inside the metal tubes. It seems like that is we’re the rust started. The corners have to be able to move in and out and water water moves so I thin watching for scratches in the paint and covering them would be the best thing to do. Hopefully the newer version is just better and last longer for you. Post videos as you go!
Gal Tab It was a salt water setup. I think it would help if you painted the inside of the metal parts. All the rust started inside and ate it’s way through. On this style of pool they only coated the outside and then sold it with a salt water setup and that causes all the problems.

Putting my Intex 18x8x52” in soon. Noticed you used foam panels under it. Any pros/cons of it? Comments? I’m in Florida too

What kind of new pool did you get I’m excited to see your new pool
Would painting the poles with rustoleum help prevent the rust? Did you have a salt water pool?

@@PursuitofHappiness is this the intex XTR ultra or the previous non XTR model?
