Just put this up and have swum in it twice already. You definitely need two people to finish putting it up, but you can start with one person. I filled it to the line like it says, but I didn't expect the water to splash out of the corners the way it does. It's not terrible but just unexpected. One other unexpected thing is the cover. It has holes in it designed to prevent water from collecting on top, from rain, I assume. Mosquitoes are a big thing here, and I wanted the cover to handle that problem. The holes aren't huge or anything, but they are enough for them to take over if not cleaned out on a daily basis. Speaking of the cover, the darn thing gets HOT! When I pulled it back yesterday to get in the pool, I would swear I could have made a cup of hot tea with the temperature of that water! That said, I used a telescoping pole to mix the water, and it evened out with the cooler water on the bottom. Just be aware of that. Overall, we are very happy with our purchase for just having it a few days. We are looking forward to many days out in our backyard now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had to get a pool to beat the Texas heat! This above ground pool fit the bill and is just perfect. Easy to set up and great to relax in. If your looking for a great easy pool set up this is the one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m filling to pool this week in preparation for spring break visitors and I can’t wait! The pool was easy to put together and the instructions were easy to follow. I was worried it was going to take an impossible amount of time just given the large, heavy box, but we got it up in a couple hours. My nephews can’t wait to swim!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my wife and kids and we absolutely love it! Took a few hours to install but really want difficult at all. The liner is very well made and durable. Assembly was straight forward and honestly would be hard to mess up. Just follow the clear instructions and you’ll be swimming in no time :) I haven’t had this style pool before, but found it to be very stable even with the family swimming. I did use concrete pads (stepping stones) from my local hardware store beneath all of the supports. We had our lawn guys level a section of ground for us and placed the ground cover down before assembling. I highly recommend this pool for a small family, or if you just need a place to float and enjoy the sun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by Far the best pool in its class! The setup process was extremely easy, after leveling the site it was went on. (For best results, level the ground it will be on) This pool is made out of high quality materials and is built to last. Filling up the pool took longer than setting it up. This has provided nothing but fun for my family. I highly recommend this pool for anyone looking for a fun family activity this summer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Intex Prism Frame 16' x 8' x 42" was the perfect pool for our family. It took two of us to get it set up. The instructions were easy to follow. It took a few hours to set up and a few hours to fill up but the work and wait was worth it. We love swimming in our pool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in South Texas it's kind of necessary to have access to a pool. Unfortunately, I don't have a huge yard. This pool is the perfect size for us. It's big enough for all 4 of us to thoroughly cool off and have some fun without losing a lot of space in our backyard. My boys are wild and I was worried about how sturdy and if this pool could withstand their constant thrashing about and I'm happy to confirm it has. I love that everything came included with this pool like the pump and ladder, taking the guesswork out of the equation for me. It really made having my very own pool obtainable and I'm very pleased with it. I definitely recommend, especially if you have a smaller yard like me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This so not the first time I have an above the ground pool but I can tell I'm successful install and maintenance this new pool. I learned from my lesson when I failed setting up my first pool so I do a lot of research this time. In overall, this pool comes with everything needed to set up an above ground pool, including pool legs, ladder, pump, ground cloth and cover. The pool size is 16x8x42 but it almost cover all my backyard so I have to move it to my other house which is out of the city and have a huge backyard. So it's much worth because I dont have to worry that water from the pool will give me trouble with my neighbors. Back to the pool, it's extremely important to do the ground work before setting up a ground pool so it takes me a couple days to do the preparation. It takes time because I want to build this pool to stay. After finishing the ground, I work toward setting up the pool liner and then the frame or I call them pool legs. Thanks to the research, it says better to use a salt water system. I plan to use the chlorine but it will take me a lot of time to do the clean up so I order a salt water system as well as a vacuum. Overall, it takes me a whole week to finish all the setup but it's all worth. The pool itself is well made with all qualified materials. The kids love the new pool and cant wait for the summer.

It is a good pool for small kids, my 7-year-old can stand very easily. Once filled it did have a leak around one of the intakes. Repaired it and now good to go. Make sure you put the powder in where the rails go. it is a must for putting them in. It is more like 33-inch height because if you go to the 36 you are right at the edge of the liner in the corners. Water will spill out if you fill that high. I had a better pump so I cannot say anything about that. the spot you put it must be flat, and level, a must! The sides bow in until it is filled to the correct height. The ladder could be better but it works. Overall I am glad that I bought it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so excited about this pool, as someone with two water babies who live to be outside and in water I couldn’t wait to get this set up. My kids will be living in the pool all summer. Great quality material, very durable.
