Review: Great size, quality construction, easy to set up. - This was a great pool for us all last summer. It was easy to put up and take down by myself and it was very sturdy. We will definitely put it up again this year. It was the perfect size for my daughter and I to lounge around and cool off, and the filter did a great job keeping up.
Review: Best purchase ever! - I almost never write reviews but in this case, when I am so pleased with a product, I feel compelled. I have four children who love to swim. They are 1, 4, 7 and 10. They know how to swim (except the one year old) but I don't feel comfortable letting them in a pool that is over there heads without myself or wife in it. Problem is, they would be in the water all day, and I'm not always in the mood! This pool was the perfect compromise! At only 30" deep they can all stand up in it and at 12' round its big! They don't realize it's a kids pool. To them it's like a 54" above ground pool would be for an adult. They are in it all day every day and I don't have to be in there with them. here are some pros and cons and some recommendations. Pros: Assemble is sooo easy. Took me a half hour. As with any pool it should be on level ground. I didn't have a perfectly level spot in my yard so I set it up as level as possible and it's fine.(water is a little higher on one side, no biggy) I wasn't about to level the yard for a pool that I didn't know anything about. Next year I will! Because of its size you can take it down and store it for the winter and not have to worry about winterizing Perfect size for kids! They can send up and swim! The frame is strong! We didn't get a ladder. The kids hop over the side. They can hand and sit on it. It's very strong! Because of its size, it warms up pretty quick, about a day after filling to get to a good temp. The liner is thick. Not sure what the mil size is but it feels heavy. Cons: The filter! I've seen bigger filters on fish tanks! It uses a cartridge that has to be cleaned often and it doesn't flow much. No skimmer. The filter will clean the water(eventually) but will not remove debris from the top of the water. Water quality can go downhill quick! This could be partially my fault for not monitoring the water as often as I should but after it rains, if it's in direct sunlight often or if you have a lot of people in it, the chlorine levels can drop and it can go green real fast. My recommendations Along with the pool you will need a skimming net, a vaccuum that works with a garden hose, water test kit, the solar cover, a chlorine floating dispenser, quick dissolving chlorine tabs, and I would highly recommend getting the sand master 71225 filter and the index skimmer. The filter is so powerful it creates a small whirlpool which causes any debris on the floor to collect in the middle of the poll which makes it easy to vacuum up. Plus it's rated for 9000 gallons and is super easy to clean. Just flip the valve to backwash and your done! You'll end up spending about another $200 with these upgrades but totally worth it! Keep the filter running,add a tab or two a day and you'll have crystal clear water all summer!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many adults fit comfortably in this pool**
A: We have about 50 adult tilapia fish (10 inches, two to three pounds) in this pool at the moment. It will hold about 160 or so eventually. Tongue in cheek answer. I tried but just couldn't resist.

**Q: Does it use chemicals?**
A: I added the saltwater system to mine. No harsh chemicals just add pool salt as needed then the machine turns the salt into chlorine. The chlorine chemicals can be hard to manage and cost much more. The salt level is undetectable just like a soft water. You'll never know its in there and my kids don't have the irritated red eyes like they had when I used chlorine.

**Q: How level should the place be ? I want to put it on backyard its level for the most part but has gradual highs and lows , may be 8" difference.**
A: It has to be level, but it won't hurt if you have a slight slope away from the house. I leveled an area that has a 1/4-1/2 inch slope pointing away from the house. In the event something happens and 1,718 gallons of water come pouring out, it's best that water goes away from the house.

**Q: Can you wash the pump filter? and How often do you need to change the filter out and put int new one?**
A: Yes, you can wash the filter. I usually use the flat stream on my hose setting. I do this once a week so I get 3 to 4 weeks out of a filter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maybe $300 for an entire summer of pool
*by D***2 on July 6, 2024*

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.
