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.

I've been following the Stock Tank pool craze for several years. My husband wanted to spend $5-$6,000 for a cowboy pool set up and I just couldn't do it. I saw this and was cautiously optimistic when I ordered. It arrived quickly and was easy to set up. I did most of it myself, only needed a little help to set up the rolled tin properly. Once connected, I filled it up and had a few minor leaks at the connnections; I slowly hand tightened and the leaks have ceased. The pump doesn't move the water quickly, however, it does move it enough. I love the timer so I don't have to worrry about forgetting to turn the pump on. One 3 inch chlorine tablet every 2 weeks and my water in crystal clear. Very satisfied customer!!

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.

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.

Its a really cool pool, like others we wanted to to see of we wanted to do the actual stock tank pool thing. We got it set up and found when we went to cut the holes for the fittings that the seam for the liner runs under one of the fitting gaskets. We have a leak at this fitting and had to use silicone. You can only place the liner in one place because the drain has to go through the frame in a cut out spot so there is no shifting it out of the way essentially. I'm not sure if our liner seam is in the wrong spot or if they are all manufactured this way. The other two fittings seem to be leak free so far. The pump is pretty minimal in suction but we will see how it goes. I made a warranty claim about the seam causing leaking under the gasket for the fitting since I'm hoping it's just my liner that was manufacturer wrong and we can get a replacement liner where the seam isn't under a fitting, but don't know if they will care.

Pool went together easily. I took my time so it took an hour or so. Overall, for the price, the pool is as expected. The liner seems to be the best feature...the padding on the bottom is quite thick and comfortable. The pump and hoses are another story. I will be surprised if the pump lasts for a month. It barely moves water. The thin hoses leak at every seal. I'm afraid to tighten the plastic clamps any further for fear they will break. I would hope Bestway would provide a better filtration system in the future.

The pool is decent but the pump is garbage. Doesnt move water at all barely pushes anything out. Also the clasps that go together were unaligned and husband had to cut them in order to put rod thru.

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!

The Pool is looking nice but there is a big problem with the filter pump. It is very underpowered and unreliable and the water will stay dirty. For the price tag, a big disappointment as it seems other buyers experience the same issues. The product should have been sold with a different pump in the first place..

Don't waste your money. This is the biggest piece of junk that's ever existed. All three connections leak. It takes way longer than 25-30 minutes to assemble like the advertisement states. I'll never buy anything made by this company or one associated with them
