FANTASTIC BUY!! HUGE Pool!!

This IS a big pool & the ground must be properly prepared, so a month later it is up and running and I am extremely happy! I installed this pool all by myself (60+ woman) including the sun sail shade posts and canopy!! I've always had a pool & I am familiar w/ industry standards I.e. Hayward and the filter/pump system that comes w/ the pool is acceptable although it will probably be replaced in the future. The items I immediately added were an Intex salt water chlorinator (the BIG one > 12,000 gal), an Intex pool skimmer that attaches to on of the out hoses & a zinc diode to ward off any damage the chlorinator could do to the pool steel, & an automated pool cleaner.

Great product

I bought this during the rainy season, then laid out on ground dug down 12” brought the ground back up with no clumps or roots, hauled in 50- 50 pound bags of sand got it level within an1/8th of an inch. This took 3 days. Got up this morning and realized like the ground work I had no help. With consise instructions and 4 hours I had it up , started filling shortly after that will finish filling and be ready for Monday with the grandkids. One of the smartest purchases I have made, easy to follow instructions, poles and rails and steps went together like 2 of us were doing this. Now as I step beak it is very well constructed. Thank you

Wish I got sooner! Love this pool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this pool, and I was a little overwhelmed but as soon as we got the ground level this pool was literally up so quick! I would say minutes but that sounds a bit over the top... really though it was so fast! Make sure to follow directions and you will have the perfect pool you can use all summer or year! The kids literally live in it, and it makes me so happy how affordable this is and the value - I thought a pool was never going to happen. Did I mention it looks nice too! BIGGEST TIP = make sure your space is flat and level and it will be so easy and something you can enjoy for years to come!

Check the liner when unboxing

I purchased this pool in May and just got the site ready to set up the pool. When we took the liner out of the packaging there was a puncture on the very top which happened to be the bottom of the pool. Who would I contact about the puncture right out of the package. I can't fill the pool with the hole in the bottom.

Pretty disappointed so far.

I’m giving this product a 3 because we got the entire 22’ pool assembled and when we started to assemble the pump, we realized that the pump flex hose had a flange that was put onto the hose backwards with the threads facing away from the end of the hose. It is not possible to remove them as they come pre-assembled and there is no way to use the hose at all. We will need to go to our local pool supply to see if they can provide a hose that will work with the pump that came with this pool. If they can’t, we’ll have to buy another pump so we can get our pool up and running. It will probably take forever to get a replacement hose from the company and we want to use the pool.

Holes in liner?????

We bought this and I ignored all the negative reviews about liner having mico holes. My mistake. Set this pool up exactly as directed and now there are so many pin holes throughout liner especially on bottom where bottom liner and side meet. Took 3 days to fill up. Excited figured the water around pool was from hose falling out a few times.4th day go out and water is down an entire foot and looks like a pool around pool. Found about 8 tiny holes around top and patched but still water was coming out and realized its all around seam where walls meet bottom. Now we have 300 dollars worth of water in pool and flooded yard. Idk what to do at this point. Other then all the holes, the pool looks great and pump is awesome. Help. What do I do about liner?

Pool

I love the pool but just to inform you the top rail rotted and broke. Good thing no one was in it I live in Florida and realize salt air doesn't help. Only 2 yrs old. I want a new one to replace it but hard to find

I hate you

I am tired because the installation of this pool is exhausting. The white things continuously stick to the inside of the poles, and most of it seems designed to fall apart.
