Great family pool

This pool is amazing! In the I.E. California heat, it has been a life saver. I put it together by myself and it took about an hour.

💦It’s not to deep for young one to enjoy💦

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have the Bestway Hydrium Tanx 8’ x 24” pool set by Hydrium set up in our backyard, and it’s been such a fun addition for our Family, especially our young grandchildren. The first thing that caught my Eye was the clean appearance — it looks great once it’s up and feels solid. The Stability has been impressive, which is important when little ones are playing. The Function is perfect for cooling off, splashing, and just enjoying time together. I also like how clear the Maintenance instruction is, making upkeep easy and manageable. It’s been a wonderful way to make summer memories, and we’re truly enjoying having it. 💦💙

This pool is a summer game changer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was by far the easiest pool to put together without me and my husband fighting the entire time. The instructions are clear, the materials are solid and feel durable and I feel like it’s so worth the money. It’s the perfect size for our two boys and it’s in the yard away from the trees so it stays clear from any debris. If you’re looking for a pool that is structurally solid and you have kids that are hard on stuff this is the pool to get and you won’t be disappointed!

We love it!

Love this pool! We originally were looking at getting a real stock tank pool but I found this while researching and it was going to be significantly cheaper and easier to get to our house. Set up was easy, I did it by myself in about an hour but it would be much faster with 2 people. I would look up the assembly video from bestway before purchasing to get a good idea of how the pool works. The quality seems great, we'll see how it holds up. The first pool we received unfortunately had a hole in the liner so we had to return it and get a replacement but so far so good on the 2nd one. Sam's customer service was incredible, but it was frustrating to have to return the whole pool instead of being able to get a replacement liner. We will probably upgrade to a better pump at some point as the included pump doesn't move enough water but we were planning on doing that anyway. All around, I suggest it if you're into the stock tank pool idea but are wanting a cheaper easier option.

Easy set up and perfect to cool off in

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m happy with it set up is pretty easy and took 30 to 40 minutes with two people, and the steel tank feels sturdy and much more adorable than inflatable pools. The size is good for cooling off or relaxing, but it’s not deep enough for actual swimming-it’s more of a sit and soak pool and works best for a couple of adult adults or kids. The pump. Works fine but it’s pretty basic so you may. Need to clean the filter often or upgrade iit later. Overall, it’s a solid small pool if you want. Something adorable and easy. to set up for the summer.

Looks promising! Set up straight forward

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So excited to have received this product in exchange for my review. Now, I will have to come back and edit this review once we are in pool season. It did take a long time to come in and most of the review time was running out in the product while we were under freeze and cold temps. We are still not to temps were we can test the pool out actually getting in it, but we were able to get it set up on our concrete pad and get all the pump tech hooked up relatively easy. I say relatively but it does take some elbow grease to really get the panels connected and it built up all the way. However it come with a cover which is super nice! And we are excited to be able to use it once the weather warms up. It seems very sturdy and it is LARGE. Definitely big enough for 2-3 adults to hang out on a hot day and get some cool relief!

Beware of leaking

We purchased this pool in lieu of an actual stock tank due to the style and look. It was easy to assemble, but as soon as we filled it with water, it leaked around the seams of the connections. This design was engineered poorly, so be aware of that. We had to use some extra silicon in order to prevent leaking. It was easy to put together and the kids love it, but if you can get past the poor design, it’s a great starter pool.

You might need a pump

Not part of a promotion, haha - I purchased this pool a few weeks ago and have had a chance to use it and get used to the smaller-size pool. I was originally interested in a stock tank pool but figured that this might be a good investment to see if I'd actually use it, and with everything I needed included, it was cheaper than a new stock tank pool setup. However, I've noticed the pump hardly moves water. Everything else about the pool is cool! But, I was unfortunately let down by the underwhelming pump. With this knowledge, I would have chosen to go with the stock tank pool setup. Unfortunately, it's not worth the effort to take it down so I won't return/exchange it, but I wanted to provide a review for those in a similar situation!
