Nice pool for the price!

Nice pool. The pool set up was easy. The instructions for the pump was not very clear, but workable. So far so good. Just waiting for warmer weather. The quality feels good compared to the price.

Wouldn’t recommend

My pool has not even been up a month and the legs are already bending. I have not heard anything back from customer service as I am trying to reach out about a warranty.

Very disappointed

Received both boxes that had been taped up. One box had the parts falling out of box. Was afraid to even try to setup because there could have been missing parts or used. Very disappointed. Now waiting for someone to come pick it up. We

Easy installation

We have had the pool up for one month now, is was very easy to set up. I purchased 2 tons of washed sand for $50 a ton, spread and leveled, 2 hours later started adding water.

Perfect for the Price

Set up is truly easy. Must make sure your ground is completely flat, and even! We haven’t found any issues except the pump is a bit slower than we prefer. The sand filter is good though, but We will probably upgrade the pump.

Half Pool
1 out of 5 stars review

Only got half a pool

Sams club only shipped one box of 2. Spent all morning on the phone. Can't figure out what went wrong. Terrible customer service from beginning to end. First time in over 10 years that I have been disappointed in sams.

NO POOL COVER

IT SAYS IN THE DESCRIPTION THAT THIS POOL COME WITH A COVER AND THAT IS NOT TRUE. I DID NOT RECEIVE A COVER WITH MY POOL "The set also includes a ladder and a pool cover."

Pump and Filter are too small for pool

I brought this pool, thought it was great until a couple weeks after setting up it started to get green. Cleaned the balls and still. Tried everything and realized the pump that comes with the pool is not strong enough for the amount of water the pool takes. Have to go buy a bigger pump and filter.
