Very cost effective way it own a pool. Be sure and take your time on leveling your base out beforehand. Only down-ish side is that the vacuum needs to be upgraded to ensure you do not blow all the small debris back into your pool while vacuuming.

What a great little kit for getting into the pool life. Seems to be one of the better combinations of features (sand filter, overall size, etc.) for the price point.

purchased june 2,2024 going on 3rd season. first season packed it up and put it away. this was a bit of a pain. Last season i left it up. Got most of it cleaned up but still needs cleaned. Have not had any issues with pool itself. did have to get a new pump. old one was making a bit of noise an leaking. ladder can get a bit wobbly consistent on checking the bolts for safety. first season put it on main ground that was horrible. 2025 took the time to put it over sand to help with a cushion an smooth the bottom out. much better. we didnt get a cover with ourd so we are regretting lifes decisions about where it was placed..haha. The new one's seem to come with a cover though. overall the pole itself seems to be pretty sturdy ,and the poles that hold it up seem to be pretty good we placed a tarp underneath of the pool so it would be over the sand just to help with a little bit of extra cushion and the placement is pretty good the intake and out take are really good I do recommend getting a good pool cleaner the one that it comes with is not so great. so overall this is a very good pool we've had it going on the 3rd season now and hopefully we don't have any more issues. Also recommend a leaf catcher for the side if u plan on not covering up the pool. This will save alot of mess in the long run.

This 18 foot pool is a great bargain at Sam’s Club $400 plus tax. This was by far the best price we found. It is easy for two people to set up and comes with everything you need, including the pool cover. We’ve been swimming in it for a month now and it seems to be of good quality and we’ve had no problems at all.

I think it’s a great pool, that has everything included for the price, it’s a really good size, I bought a saltwater generator to hook up with the sand filter that comes with it and turned it into a saltwater pool, and we love it! , you definitely need a couple of people to help you to put up, the instructions is not that great, it’s pretty simple to figure it out, got it up in a couple of hours, now the long wait to fill the pool up with water, I didn’t care for the ladder that came with it, it worked till I got a better one, everyone is happy with the purchase and enjoying the pool now anytime right in our backyard

Well made pool and easy set up

The water pump is not big enough and does not keep the water filtered

The pool cover is falling apart and I only had the pool for about a month

Too fraglie

As I was filling up the pool the sides busted I called Sam’s club and they wanted me to bring the pool in but I could not get it back in the box and it was too heavy because it being wet made it even more heavy and I have cancer I can’t lift no more than 10 pounds and now out $500 and no pool. Didn’t even get a chance to enjoy it once.
