Why is my Intex Pool Deflating? Everything is clicked and locked tight and there are no leaks anywhere, not even at the seams? I am at loss! HELP!

I had the same problem and to me even when I really locked in the plugs it was never enough. The pool I got last just one season and for the price I was OK with that. Well really one to two times inflated before it would just deflate and let all the water out. Just the way it was made. And if in the sun it would deflate faster. Bummer huh.

Ours does not deflate completely but does lose some air from being outside. (Physics) If yours completely deflates, a return might be necessary

I had the same problem. After using a wrench to get the whole thing off, then used more tools to get it apart, it leaked like a sieve after I screwed it back on. I'd like to know the answer myself because I bought a new one.

You have to tighten up on it pretty well, or it leaks...I had to use a channel lock pliersto really get a grip...after that...no issues...Maybe after 50 gallons, you might try tightening up a little...see what happens...hope this helps!

I had the same problem with the Kreepy. It will happen with this model too as they are virtually identical in function. In my case I solved the problem by filling a bucket with water (for ballast) and setting it near the edge on the top step to keep the floating hose away. When the pool is used or company is over I take the bucket out. This cleaner does a great job at a third of the cost.

Perhaps check where u got your pool. If not get bigger for sure. I don't recommend this specific product!!

I recommend that you check the following: 1. Is the Stanley 450 fully charged? 2. Is the tubing properly connected to the body of the Stanley 450 at one end and to the valve that attached to the item to be inflated at the other end? 3. Are there any leaks along the tubing or at the ends? 4. Is the tubing blocked? (If the pressure as indicated on the pressure gauge increases significantly when you run the compressor, but no air comes out the end, then then there may be a blockage.) Hope you are able to resolve.

Jeffrey's suggestion is best. Anytime I had a leak it was always because the lid had been screwed on incorrectly. Gets tricky sometimes. If you just can't get it to quit, I'd suggest catching the water so you can just pour the "leaked" water right back into the pool.

Sounds like a circuit problem. Call a certified pool electrician if you can't check it out. I've had the pump for a few months now and it works like it is supposed to! No problemO!

Be glad that the moror is still working. This pump works fine and will have your pool working as it should. We had a leak in the pump last year and my husband tried sealing it. Held for one season but then I guess the frigid NY winter caused the seal to deteriorate. Ordered this pump and now it works great! Very easy to install. Good luck.

Hello Vikas, firstly you need to determine the source of the leak. It is most likely from one of the connections. Try to isolate which one. If that is the case you can easily fix it yourself by checking each one and making sure that they are tight. If it is coming from the body of the unit then you should return it because that would mean that the product is defective. The instructions aren't great. I would gladly send you a picture of the unit already connected so that you could see it more easily but I don't think there is a way of attaching a picture to my answer. Best of luck.

Possibly a defective unit? I think if you have good connections that do not leak, beyond that I would return the unit for another one. My unit has worked great from day 1.Good Luck, Dan

Willee, I've got a question, yes it needs 12-15 psi at the controller, to maintain that is another issue. Some of my zones have 7 pop-ups. I called Zodiac today and got no where, they could not tell me the gpm required to keep system running or even suggest a variable speed pump for me. I understand what your saying about running high pressure for a couple hours then reducing it for eight hours, to do that I would probably need to add an automatic valve to change to side returns seeing my pop-ups wouldn't pop-up. Your thoughts. And do you own a pool with a caretaker system?

I would call intex. They have supplied me with parts for my pool. Actually your unit is warranted for 2 years. Need to email them photo of receipt

I truly had no trouble inflating mine...just opened the valve and blew into it. If & WHEN you do get it operationaldon't inflate it until it's taut. Leave it a bit limp. We have gotten 2 summers out of our 6, and they're still going into the pool again this summer. Good luck! If it's still not inflating, send it back...I'm sure the seller will want to know it's not working.

I don't think so. My experience is that Intex pools are very specific and require intex replacement parts. I don't think it's worth the gamble.nswer here...

Sounds like the seal was somehow defective or broken. Have used mine multiple times and depths without it ever taking on water. Removal likely to make situation worse and result in loss of buoyancy.

My newer Intex pump is working better than the one that came with my 18x48 hardsided pool.As long as the fittings will match up, it is definitely worth a try..
