Funsicle Oasis Designer 24' x 12' x 52" Rectangular Above Ground Swimming Pool Set with 2-in-1 Filter Pump, Ladder & Maintenance Kit – Easy Setup for Backyard Fun

Great pool easy assembly. Love the pump attached to the pool vs sitting aside it.

The pool came in good condition on a pallet. Would be easy for 2 people to assemble, the instructions are easy to understand. I was able to do it by myself in less than 4 hours and it took about 16 hours to fill off a typical backyard water hose. The pool came with a maintenance kit (standard basic pool vacuum kit & flat pool net with pole) a ground cover and a pool top cover however, it seems the pool cover shrank after the first day in the California sun and tore, I tried using clamps to hold it by it only got worse. I recommend buying a separate durable pool top cover and keep the cover it came with as back up. Other than that the pool is really nice! Also, I put this together and wanted to share, I hope it's helpful!👇 Best Year-Round Maintenance Plan for an Above-Ground Pool To keep your above-ground pool in good condition year-round, follow this maintenance plan tailored to seasonal needs: 1. Regular Testing and Balancing: • Test Frequency: • Summer: Test chlorine, pH, and alkalinity 2–3 times per week. • Spring/Fall: Test 1–2 times per week. • Winter (open pool): Test weekly. • Winter (closed pool): Test once before winterizing, then monthly if accessible. • Target Levels: • Free Chlorine: 2–4 ppm (summer), 1–3 ppm (winter, open pool), 0.5–1 ppm (winterized). • pH: 7.2–7.6. • Total Alkalinity: 80–120 ppm. • Cyanuric Acid: 30–50 ppm (check monthly in summer, less often in winter). • Calcium Hardness: 200–400 ppm (check monthly or seasonally). • Tools: Use a reliable test kit (e.g., liquid test kit or test strips) for accurate readings. 2. Sanitizer and Shock Routine: • Summer: Add chlorine (liquid, tablets, or granular) daily or as needed to maintain 2–4 ppm. Shock weekly with a chlorine-based shock (e.g., calcium hypochlorite) or non-chlorine shock. • Spring/Fall: Add chlorine every 2–3 days and shock every 1–2 weeks. • Winter (open pool): Add chlorine weekly to maintain 1–3 ppm; shock every 2–4 weeks. • Winter (closed pool): Add a winterizing kit (algaecide, shock) before covering; no regular chlorine needed. 3. Filtration and Circulation: • Summer: Run the pump 8–12 hours daily. • Spring/Fall: Run 6–8 hours daily. • Winter (open pool): Run 4–6 hours daily. • Winter (closed pool): Disconnect and store the pump after winterizing. • Clean or backwash the filter monthly (sand or cartridge filters) and replace as needed (e.g., cartridge every 1–2 years, sand every 3–5 years). 4. Winterizing (Freezing Climates) If you’re in a freezing climate: • Balance water chemistry (pH 7.2–7.6, alkalinity 80–120 ppm, calcium hardness 200–400 ppm). • Add a winterizing chemical kit (algaecide, sequestering agent, shock). • Lower water level below the skimmer. • Install a winter cover with an air pillow and secure it tightly. • Remove and store the pump, filter, and hoses after draining lines. • Check the pool monthly for cover integrity and water level. 5. Additional Tips: • Cover Use: Use a solar cover in summer to retain heat and reduce chlorine loss. Use a winter cover in freezing climates or a safety cover in mild climates to keep debris out. • Debris Management: Skim and vacuum regularly (weekly in summer, biweekly in spring/fall, monthly in winter if open). • Algae Prevention: Add algaecide monthly in summer or as part of winterizing to prevent growth. • Equipment Protection: Inspect the pool liner, frame, and equipment for wear before and after winter. Key Considerations: • Climate: If you’re in a freezing climate, winterizing is critical to prevent damage. In mild climates, you can maintain the pool as “open” with reduced effort. • Usage: Heavy summer use increases chemical demand, while winter inactivity reduces it. • Chemical Storage: Store chemicals in a cool, dry place year-round to maintain efficacy. Avoid using expired products. • Local Regulations: Check local guidelines for pool maintenance or draining, as some areas have restrictions. Sample Chemical Shopping List: • Year-Round Basics: • Chlorine (liquid, tablets, or granular; e.g., 3” trichlor tablets or sodium hypochlorite). • pH increaser (sodium bicarbonate) and decreaser (muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate). • Alkalinity increaser (sodium bicarbonate). • Cyanuric acid (stabilizer). • Calcium hardness increaser (calcium chloride, if needed). • Test kit or strips.

This pool is horrible! It absolutely is not worth the money! It doesn't set up properly like it says, the poles are bent and it will be impossible to enjoy or swim in!!! Absolutely junk!

We’ve had it up now for about 2 weeks, we did quickly upgrade the pump to a sand filter pump (the other one worked. But was a lot more maintenance required). We’ve had up to 12 people in the pool comfortably. We added foam insulation sheets to the bottom for extra protection and a little comfort. Would buy again!

I love the pool. It’s worth the money, but the filter is a hot mess. It’s best to add a robot to clean the pool and allow the filter to work independently. We spent a lot of money to get this working properly.

It's a good looking pool except for it has one pump not very powerful on one side. They should have designed this pool with two pumps one for each side. I've had it for a year and I'm doing way more maintenance than I've ever had to do on an above ground pool. There's a clean side where the pump is and the dirty side where there's no pump. Constant maintenance!!!

The pool is nice.

Very easy to setup with simple instructions provided for everything. Its best to have at least two people when inserting the poles into the liner. Prepping the area especially just being level makes a big difference when filling the pool and overall stress on the poles during the settling process. The corner pieces are probably my biggest complaint they don't lock in like the other poles and have a tendency to come out or almost come out so just keep an eye on them while filling, otherwise its a great product plenty of room for fun and activities.
