28211EH Metal Frame Above Ground Swimming Pool Set: 12ft x 30in – Includes 530 GPH Cartridge Filter Pump – Puncture-Resistant Material – Rust Resistant – 1718 Gallon Capacity

I set it up on the edge of my uncovered patio about a foot away from the grass to protect from the lawn mower. Easy to set up. I should have done a better job of making the bottom flat. I added the chairs just to help protect. The quality is very good. My 7 and 5 year old kick off the sidewalks and it does not rip. Sometimes they jump from the white poles and it holds up fine. I wouldn’t allow any heavier kids to do that. The foot of space from the grass was enough to set the pump and hoses down. I bought the intex cover, net, and vacuum hose attachment. The cover doesn’t work as well as I’d hoped as it is not tight. It sags when it gets hot, too. The net and vacuum are a must. The pump runs once a day at the same time you originally turned it on. Only needs 4 hours a day. Very quiet. My 7 and 5 year old don’t need a ladder but it would be nice. I fill it to 24 inches at the “deep end” as my patio slopes down away from the house. You don’t want the birds to be able to sit at the edge and dip their beaks. I do a deep clean once a week where I add a new tablet, use the vacuum attachment, clean the filter with a hose. Takes an hour. The pool has given new purpose to my back yard. It doesn’t matter how hot it is outside. They can go outside and jump in. Pool with pump, net, vacuum, cover, and tablets and I’m under $300. I will have to eventually buy more tablets and I’m considering getting the 1000 gph pump with skimmer but this thing is so low maintenance I’d be doing more out of intrigue. Plus the skimmer hangs on the edge and takes pool space away. We’ll see. Fun easy little project, kids love it, 4 adults fit easy, low maintenance.

I got this for summer fun. It is great. It helps to have some help during setup. Pump works great. Although, not being familiar with pumps, I thought it stopped working. This was not the case. You just have to make sure there is little to no air in the lines. I really like the timer functionality. The pool has been emptied and moved around a few times. it has held up thought a Texas summer with no problems.

This is a great pool for the price. The past three year I used the 10 ft east set with balloon top. Last year a pet popped the top and patches did not hold. This year I got the 12 ft metal frame pool. First, when you unpack all the parts to make sure you have everything, the leg poles are INSIDE the top rail poles. They are both in plastic bags and do not rattle when handling. I thought at first the legs for mine were missing. Second my pool had three pin holes, all underneath the strap that holds the legs in place. You have to drain the water back out to below the holes to patch from the inside. The patch kit that comes with the pool does NOT come with the cement to attach, but you can use PVC pipe cement if you have that already. The only other issue was these pools now come with an aerator to put bubbles in the water where the water goes back into the pool from the pump/filter. This fitting does not fit tightly. It is hard plastic and cone shaped. When you slide it over the fitting the included strap with the finger screw does not compress the hard plastic enough to hold it on tightly. If you are not careful the weight of the hose filled with water can pull it loose, or if bumped can come loose from the pool and pump you water onto the ground if not caught quickly. It is possible to pump almost half the water out since it will keep pumping until the water level is below the suction inlets. It can be removed since it's not a safety feature or you can use an automotive metal hose clamp the can compress it enough to hold but don't overtighten and crack it. One last thing, if placing pool on a concrete or cement pad or in my case driveway parking spot be sure to use a good thick ground cloth. I used a large tarp folded in half to make it thicker. My first pool got numerous pinholes on the bottom from sitting on bare cement. Other than these few issues it is a great bargain for only $100. But, be prepared to spend another $100 on all the needed accessories. Chlorine tablets, floating dispenser, pool shock for once a week, water testing strips, pool net and long handle, and either a vacuum hose system that attaches to the pump to clean the dirt and sediment off the bottom. I get the big stuff with the net and bought a batter operated AquaBroom to vacuum off the bottom. It works great and I love it. Can't stress enough the need to keep the pool chemicals in the right range of you will have problems. Unless you want to constantly drain and refill. Update. Been using the pool a couple of weeks now and we love ❤️ it. After about 3 days the pump started weakening to very little water output. I thought at first something was wrong with it. But it was not the pump the filter was clogged already. We let our dog swim in the pool too. The fine dander hair is what clogs up the filter, and the cover over the intakes really quickly. I now clean the inlet covers and the filter daily. I was it out with a string spray from the water hose and it is good as new. So if you too let your pets get in the pool be aware of the inlet cover and filter clogging quickly. Also use the airator. The bubbles help raise the PH of the water by realeasing carbon dioxide from the water. My ph was very low so I ordered soda ash. After running the pump with airator for 24 hours straight the ph level had already risen enough I had to use very little soda ash.

Thanks Amazon its a great pool

Love this pool for the price it was a steal!!

I bought this for my kids who are 7, 8 and 15. It was a perfect size to fit us all. The water is only 2 - 2 and a half feet high. But it was perfect for when my 3 and 5 year old nieces came over. It was pretty easy to put together by myself but 2 people would probably be easier. The water filter works really well but I would recommend buying extra replacement filters and hosing the current one down every week.

Got it on Time but once up it leeks ans emptys

Bought it for my daughter, and she loves it!! It works great! Has been used pretty much everyday since it was set up and filled. Exactly as described, the instructions don't really give much details, but it was kinda straightforward.
