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!

Spacious!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got the Steel Pro Max Oval Above Ground Pool, and I have to say—it’s been a fantastic addition to our backyard! Setup & Assembly The setup was surprisingly straightforward. The steel frame feels sturdy, and the oval shape gives it a nice, spacious feel without taking up too much yard space. It did take a couple of hours to assemble, but the instructions were clear. Just make sure to set it up on level ground for the best stability. Durability & Build The frame is made of corrosion-resistant steel, and the DuraPlus™ liner feels strong and durable. We’ve had it for a while now, and so far, no leaks or punctures. It holds up well to regular use, and even the kids jumping in and out hasn’t caused any issues. Size & Comfort This pool is a great size for families. It’s big enough for a few people to swim comfortably but not so massive that it takes forever to fill. The oval shape makes it feel more natural for swimming and playing around. Maintenance It comes with a filter pump, which does a decent job of keeping the water clear, though I’d recommend upgrading if you plan to use it heavily. Regular skimming and adding pool chemicals keep it clean without much hassle. Final Thoughts For the price, the Steel Pro Max Oval Above Ground Pool is a solid investment. It’s durable, spacious, and easy to maintain. If you’re looking for an affordable way to enjoy summer without committing to an in-ground pool, this is definitely worth considering!

This pool is massive!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pool is amazing. My parents have the older version of this and it’s a bit smaller, but this one is way bigger and taller. I love the oval shape as well as the height. Only issue is that the pool cover is I feel a bit too small since the wind take it off quite easily.

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.

Never received pool.

Would love to give a complete review, however it’s hard to do when you receive a box with frame and two boxes of pumps but no pool. Boxes were clearly marked 1/3, 3/3 and 3/3…. No 2/3. Ruined grandsons 13th birthday party.

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.
