This is our second metal frame pool. The first one my dog destroyed. The second one we bought is a little different. The skimmer/clean out is alot better made and it seems to have more out take pressure than the old one. The skimmer/clean out part is made alot like a big pool where you have the square and not the round intake and outake hoses. The liner/pool part does not have the dips in it where the poles go in like the old one and it will hold alot more water (the old one said it was 48 in. but never seemed to hold it to me). The only thing that I think is the liner is not as thick as the old. It is sturdy and durable! The skimmer pole that come with the pool is a joke. It fell apart when I used it. I suggest buying your own pole. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS POOL to anyone!

This will be our third summer with this pool. I have never took the pool down, just drain before the season and clean. We were going to get a pool installed but decided to try this one to see if we really wanted a pool. Love it, no need to get an expensive pool. I have ordered some replacement parts for this summer but it's still good. This pool holds up really well. I have rough children that run and jump in it. If it lasts for my children it would for anybodies kids.

We bought this pool the end of March this year. I put it up by myself in about an hour. It helps to read the instructions sent with it. Other people have complained about leaks, well if you take care of it while putting it up, you should not a leak. I also purchased the saltwater chlorinator (from WalMart) and it connected right to it. The only complaint I have is that the cords should be just about 5' longer and the hoses about 3' longer. Besides that this is a great product to keep you cool during the summer. I mean that is what you bought it for. Now if you want something of better qaulity then spend about $4000 and get a bigger pool and have someone put it in for you. I would recommend this pool to anyone that wants a pool and I would also recommend the saltwater chlorinator.

I love this pool! I have had all the other types of above ground pools and this one is the best! No more worrying that the top ring will collapse if my kids lean on it, or if it deflates, or trying to clean the walls that are curved like the top ring pools. This pool is sturdy and even though I did not get it completely level (off about 2 in.) it has held up well with no problems. I also set it up all by myself while my kids took a nap and my husband was at work. My only minor complaint is that the pump is a little on the loud side but we have it outside our bedroom window and you can't hear it from inside. I also purchased the saltwater system to go with it and that is also great. I do wish it came with a vacuum that could suck up stuff on the bottom of the pool but I'm so pleased with the rest of the pool that I'll overlook that one thing and go buy a good vacuum. Thank you Walmart for the site to store shipping. We had our pool in about a week!

I bought this pool 4 yrs ago and I live in NC with the cold. It has been up for all this time full of water without any incidents at all except you have to replace the hose each year if you leave it up. The cold weather will cause them to split. I already had a bigger pool pump from a previous pool so I used it and not the smaller one that came with it, but it did not appear to be large enough to filter the water at the rate it was needed. I will buy another one probably next year when this one is 5 yrs old. Good value don't you think $400 dollars for 4 yrs of pool fun. Ann North Carolina

We bought this pool two years ago mainly for our autistic daughter who LOVES water. Previously we had the blow up pools which were fine, but she would lean over the edge and the water would stream out. (Also the neighbors cat clawed holes in the ring). We love this pool. All six of us can comfortably enjoy it and we are in it all summer long. We have freezing winters and have not taken it down, just empty most of the water. It takes some time to set up and about half a day to fill, but it is SO WORTH IT!!!

This pool was easy set up. Our backyard needed to be leveled a bit, but once that was done the pool went up quick. The ladder that comes with the pool has a specific way to be assembled so be sure to read these directions and lay out ladder parts respectively, this will make assembly much easier. Although the water is still icy here in Florida, because the weather has not been warm enough yet, we love the pool so much, we have endured the cold water for 30-45 minutes at a time. I can't wait till the "warmer" weather and warmer water! Also, for some added fun, Wal-Mart Online has 'The Underwater Light Show', it's a floating disco ball!! It is truly an AWESOME addition to nighttime pool fun!

My family and friends have used this product for 2 seasons now. I am in Michigan and have not even taken it down for winter. I would recommend a solar panel heater for those northern climates. This was a little more difficult to put up than the inflatable top ones but only took the two of us.

This pool is Great I bought the other model that has the pump on the ground but it works wonderful my dog jumped on the pool and made a little slit. But the great thing about these pools is that they are made not to rip. I have had the pool for 2 years and the hole has not gotten any bigger. The pump could be a little more powerful the suction is not all great but id does the job. I also left the pool up all winter long and it got down to -10 degrees and it held up wonderfully. I recommend this pool to everyone. Great pool for the price!!!

This product is great. Seems to be a very durable product. It is NOT ready for water in 30 minutes like it claims, and that is with several years experience of assembly with similar pools.That being said, it is still simple to put up. Two minor negative points. With the size of the pump this pool should come with a real vacuum, especially for the price you are paying, not just the water operated vaccum with a bag attachment to collect debri. The second being that the pump is loud. Really love the site-2-store, just wish the tracking was more accurate.

We bought this two years ago and loved it. We put it on this cement slab we have that isn't even but it worked great anyway. It's VERY sturdy, much more than the blow up ring on the top ones (which we also loved, but they tipped over). Having the metal bracing makes a big difference in stability. It's easy to put together, just time consuming. It's worth it! The 18 foot is BIG with lots of room for you and the kids to play. One thing we wish for is a vaccum that sucks up leaves and debris. It's always windy and dusty here in the desert and we could keep it cleaner that way. Oh, and a better way to secure the cover.

Unlike the previous comment, I was very happy with this item. After having the blow up ring style that rotted in the az sun...which was refunded and we bought this one, It went up very easy as stated after preping the circle to be level. We filled it without incident and it has been up all "winter" and all last summer 120 plus degrees with out a problem. we just wish it was deeper!!

We bought this pool for our grand children to enjoy for the summer. Dug a level 18 foot crop circle in the middle of our back lawn. There were three adults putting the pool together and it took us over 90 minutes to set it up. Put the hose in the pool and checked it an hour later, it was leaking. So my son and I took it down (30 minutes), packaged it up and took it back. We exchanged for another one because what would the odds be of another pool having a hole in it. The odds were not in our favor because the next day my son and I set the pool up this time it took 60 minutes, decided to only put a little water in, just in case. Low and behold right there on a seam a leak. And should I mention that the ladder was marked wrong so that took some time to figure out left from right. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS POOL AT ALL TO ANY ONE. BUY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
