Great pool worthless pump

Everything is great about this, but the electronics in the pool pump motor are garbage. As many others with less than 50hrs of use the pump is seizing up, humming, have to turn off and on, bang on it. Sad because it works well when not failing.

Perfect depth for our 6 year old

We bought this and set it up about a month ago. We love it. However there were no instructions for the ladder or how to use the vacuum. Still have not figured out the vacuum.

Verified Purchase

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.

Does not last!

We used the pool less than a few months before it started leaking around the windows. We sealed them. We went to uncover and prepare it for the summer a week ago and the pool has ripped where the water comes back into the pool.

Arrived without the frame

I have a crew of people at my home to set this pool up. I ordered online and had it shipped to my home. Opened the box to find out they did not send me the frame!!!!

Poor Quality:

Cheap made,no skimmer basket, no way to install one. The frame bent when the water level got high. Never really filled it to the top.Used maybe a month and took down.Definitely not worth it.

Perfect Cool Summer

Bought this pool last year. We're very pleased with it. Water stayed crystal clear with the pump that it came with. We upgraded the ladder. Would definitely buy again. Looking forward to this summer ☀️

Not great in high temps

The pool itself was great, until the heat wave came through and softened the metal poles, the weight of the pool in turn bent the center of 2 of our top poles.

Horrible purchase

I just set this up yesterday and there were no instructions. The pump doesn't sit on its stand right because of the hose. My hoses are leaking at every connection. The pool has tiny holes all around it.
