The assembly was pretty easy took 4 of us about an hour. The pool is spacious enough for about 5 people and is easy to maintain! Good pool for the money. No pump problem so far but I only run it when we are in the pool.

Excellent pool..You won't be sorry

After spending tons of time searching for pools, looking at reviews we went out and bought this one. What a great pool.. Went up easy (Or that's how my husband made it look :=). The only issue which is has nothing to do with the quality of the pool is making sure the ground is level. Once that is done you are home free...It is a great pool for the price and I would surely recommend this. My children are alomst 8 and almost 6 yrs old. (water level being 36 inches is great for the young children..Of course they should never be unattended.)..Adults..get yourself a float and float away..you will love it too!

We've had our pool for 3 years now. It's perfect for the hot California weather. It does take 1 day to fill with water, but afterwards you will have lots of fun. Perfect for kids to enjoy & cool down in. The poles have been sturdy. The ladder has not broken yet. I highly recommend for those with kids.

The pool is great and easy to put up. It took my husband and I about an hour to put together but some of that time was spent patching a hole in the pool because when it was shipped a box was put over the top of the box it was shipped in but, the box over was just that a box over not on the bottom and while it was shipped it must have been drug around because a hole was made in the unprotected bottom and wouldn't you know it the pool liner is packed at the bottom of the box. Hole fixed and water in and we were ready for hours of fun and hopefully for years to come. We also bought the nitebrite 35watt swimming pool light and this is awesome for night time swimming. I would suggest getting a bigger pump and I will next season but for now we are very happy with our purchase.

I purchased this product online, site to store.
It arrived earlier than anticipated.
Store personnel was friendly and helpful.
He brought it out and loaded it into my car.
The pool itself was easy to setup.
So far only have it up and in use for 3 weeks,
no problems. In fact, the kids just love it.
It's the perfect size...
not too big and not too small.
Looking forward to a summer of very cool and happy kids.

All the other reviews were very helpful. The one thing I did wrong was I started to assemble incorrectly. Make sure you only assemble the top ring portion. Once you have that done then add the legs. I got stuck when I couldn't get the last section in. It was because I had already put the legs on. I must have not read clearly enough because I was trying hard to follow the directions.

You're crazy if you DON'T buy it.

First off let me start by saying I looked into these pools A LOT before actually buying it. My boyfriend thought it was a joke how small it was but I worked on him long enough to buy it. WE LOVE IT!!! This pool is perfect for our backyard and fantastic to relax and get a tan all summer. He keeps saying how glad he is that I talked him into it. It fits perfect without killing our new grass. The ladder is a little flimsy but if you press it against the pool wall its much more sturdy. We added a little water to the pool while setting it up and started pulling and the wrinkles are ALL gone on the bottom. I found spraying the filter with the hose really well helped them stay cleaner longer before replacement. Buy this pool, you wont regret it. Oh and living in california the pool is always a great temperature!
P.S. Leslies Pool Supply tests your water for free and gives you the exact chemicals you need to keep the pool perfect without over adding un needed chemicals. They also give you different chlorine for above ground pools so the chemicals dont EAT through the plastic liner. Your pool will last longer, it's worth it!

We bought this pool over a month ago. We watch 4 of our grandchildren from age 8 months to 8 years old. I also swim with them. We use the pool daily and have had a few backyard BBQ's with lots of family&all swim. I can say this has got to be the best value I have seen Walmart to have in a long time. Use the chlorine tablets for best results. I would use the salt water system but it cost more than the pool!

Awesome Pool!!!!!

Awesome pool, The pool was a great value and an ease to set-up. It took me, My 11yr old daughter and 16 yr old son maybe and 1 1/2hrs to set this up. It was very simple and self explanatory instructions. My only complaint is the ground cover was missing from the box. Luckily we had a tarp that was close to the size of the pool. Leveling it was the only difficult part, since our yard isn't the most level, and check and double check to make sure there isn't any rocks under it. I will definitely buy another one if anything ever happens to this one, but I will probably go to the next size up next time just because of family functions. But i have a family of 4 and it was perfect for us.
