Intex Prism Frame 12ft x 30in Above-Ground Pool — 1,718 Gal, Puncture-Resistant 3-Ply PVC

The Intex Prism Frame 12ft x 30in is a durable, easy-to-assemble above-ground pool that holds up to 1,718 gallons for backyard cooling and family fun.

This round Prism Frame pool pairs a puncture-resistant 3-ply PVC liner with powder-coated steel tubing and composite T-joints to give a rust-resistant, stable structure. Designed to be ready for water in about 30 minutes, the 12-foot diameter and 30-inch depth suit small yards, families with children, and anyone who wants a seasonal swim option without permanent installation. A repair patch is included should minor damage occur, and the pool ships as the pool-only unit (pump not included).

How quickly can I set up the pool and get it filled?

Assembly is straightforward and intentional: lay the liner on flat, level ground, snap the powder-coated steel frame together using the composite T-joints, then begin filling. Most users reach usable water level in roughly 30 minutes once the liner and frame are arranged.

• Ready for water in about 30 minutes under good conditions
• Simple three-step assembly: lay out liner, assemble frame, fill with water
• Use a ground cloth under the liner for extra protection and leveling

What materials and protections keep the pool durable?

The pool liner is constructed from a three-ply, puncture-resistant PVC that stands up to play and sun exposure. Frame components are powder-coated steel that resists corrosion, and composite T-joints are engineered to create a water-tight connection that prevents internal rust and improves lifespan.

• 3-ply PVC liner for puncture resistance and toughness
• Powder-coated steel tubing to reduce surface corrosion
• Composite T-joints with UV inhibitor that form a water-tight seal

How much water does it hold and what size space does it need?

This round pool measures 12 feet across and 30 inches deep, providing a shallow, family-friendly depth for lounging and casual swimming. At 90% capacity the pool holds approximately 1,718 gallons, so plan for a level area that accommodates the footprint plus several feet around for access and maintenance.

• Diameter: 12 feet; depth: 30 inches
• Capacity: ~1,718 gallons at 90% fill
• Requires a flat, level surface and room around the pool for safe access

What comes in the box and what else will I need?

The package includes the Prism Frame pool liner, powder-coated steel frame parts, composite T-joints, and a patch for small repairs. A pump and filtration system are not included, so you will want to purchase a compatible filter pump, a ground cloth, and basic pool care supplies to maintain water quality.

• Included: pool liner, frame components, composite T-joints, repair patch
• Not included: pump, filter, ground cloth, chemicals, ladder or cover
• Recommended: compatible Intex filter pump and a level, cleared setup area
