My opinion on this pool

Unlike other reviews we did not have any issues with leaks. Our pool has been up for a week now and the only issue is the filter. We may change it to sand to see if that will help with the brown tint from the well water. The latter is cheap and scary but it works and I would recommend getting a different vacuum as the one that comes with it is just a crummy piece of plastic. We too used YouTube to put up the pool and assemble the filter. I do recommend this pool . We would buy it again.

short life span

Our 20' x 48" pool was delivered April 24, 2022. The posts and rails are so rusted they are about to collapse after only 2 years. We always have this problem with above-ground pools. I don't understand why they don't use some type of strong pvc instead of quickly corroding metal.

Good starter pool

This is our second season with this pool. No rips or leaks. The cover is a joke, you will need a better one. You need to level the ground with sand and put the pad down before you fill the pool. We have well water, and we didn't have any issues with orange water. This year we switched the filter from chlorine to salt water. Take care of it and you can get many years from this pool.

Poles are trash after one summer.

Liner and pump will get a second year of use but the poles are so rusted after one year that can't use them. My first pool was intel and it lasted 7 years. Pretty disappointed with the quality of this brand. I even take it down and store it fo the winter.

good pool for the price. lasted 2 years using a saltwater system(these things rust out everything due to the salt). would probably last 4 to 5 years not using a salt system. buying another one this year. pump still works good. 2 hoses busted due to sun exposer after 2 years liner still good

Frame rusted in one year.

We purchased our pool less than a year ago. And several of the supports and cross bars are rusted out. We will not be able to use this pool again this year. Now when it was up and working it was fine, but I think we should have gotten more than one year before it was this rusted out.

Coleman pool

We bought this pool 2 years in a row. Last year was great untill we folded it up for winter and our dog chewed the liner. This year we ordered it again got it all set up and filled 6,100 GALLONS AND IT HAS A PINHOLE LEAK SOMEWHERE IN THE BOTTOM. I don't even know what to do at this point.

Love it!!! I'm about to purchase this pool for the second time. My first one lasted 3 summers, and for the price, I have more than gotten my money's worth. The ground below was leveled and bricks or pavers placed below the uprights of the frame. The filter is pretty easy to clean and I recommend cleaning it every few weeks to not waste a bunch on chemicals when its the filter that needs it.
