Great deal but missing parts

This pool is a great deal and bigger than expected. I recommend to assemble the pump first to make sure there are missing parts. The pool set that I received was missing the complete port “A” components and 2 gaskets. Hopefully Bestway will send me the parts at no charge. Also setting up the pool is a two or three person job. However the pool is easy to put together in about 1 1/2-2 hours not counting the pump.

Need larger filter

We just set this pool up a couple of weeks ago. Fairly easy - but with two people took all afternoon including ground prep. We have not used the pool as it cooled off and storms came after set up. So far it has held up to the storms. The filter is not adequate. We called the customer support line to ensure we set it up correctly and their own support staff told us the filter was too small for the pool size. Working on replacing the filter so the grands can enjoy when it warms up.

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.

Great bang for the buck.

This was a great price with an upgraded pump from the same Coleman pool sold at Wal-Mart.
