Needs better directions!!

The directions are horrible! The directions have no words only pictures. Which made for a much harder time then if there had been explanations with the pictures. The pool does not come with a ground cover or skimmer which are things all of my previous index pools came with.

Bestway Sand Pump does not work

I got it all set up with the sand pump and the pump does not work. I have been on the chat site with "Ask the Expert" several times and tried all of the troubleshooting steps they instructed me to do. It runs, is primed, has no obstructions, has been backwashed, had the impellar checked, the black plugs are out, the inlet valve is in the open position. No water flows back to the pool.

Summer fun keeping cool

Great pool at a great price. The pool comes with everything needed to install the pool. The instructions could be written a bit better but it's not difficult to put up. Installation with 2 people shouldn't take more than an hour if your ground is ready. We've had this pool for about a month and are having fun with it.

Worth every penny and a great family time

Worth every penny, family and friends enjoyed the pool especially during the hot summer days east to put together just make sure you level the ground before setting up and I put two 20 x 20 heavy duty tarps to prevent any puncture from below and give a nice smooth feel while working in the pool

Pool left in poor condition

I am sure this pool would be super nice if it had not been for the way I received it. It was left in the middle of my driveway in the pouring rain. The box was all damaged and super wet. It would have been simple for it to be dropped off on my porch since you can back right up to it. It was going to be a gift. I just hope there is no damage when its time to set it up.

Pros/Cons

This pool is okay, the materials are strong and durable however the filter grate leading water from the pool into the filter is poorly designed and creates a constant clog at the grate that needs to be cleared daily, if not more which is a huge hassle.

Great pool for the price!

Love this pool! Easy to setup and comes with everything you need. The only critique I can give is the ladder does not have a top platform, which makes it a little awkward getting in and out. But give the great price I got this pool for, I was fine with buying a different ladder.

I am torn between a three and a four star on this pool. The pool itself is good and the filter/pump works alright so far. I was sad to learn that after paying this amount for a pool that my older, cheaper pool came with a timer on the pump and this one does not. I have to turn it on and off or add timer to it.

Happy with purchase

Has this pool up for just over a month now and we are loving it so far. The instructions for the pump and laddar were lacking but a quick youtube search helped with step by step instructions. The pump is working very well and I am overall happy with the purchase so far.

18'x 48" Bestway pool

After taking the time to insure all turf is cleared and fine sand used as a leveler for the yard space - the pool itself does assemble in a half hour using 3 people with some more time for pump and filter hose hookups. Initial use looks promising, unsure of longevity!
