Intex 15ft x 48in Metal Frame Swimming Pool Set with Filter Pump System

Seebs: Be aware that this ships as two boxes. If you have a box that contains the plastic fittings and the pool, but not the metal frame, look for another, taller, box. The seller splits the original Intex kit into two boxes to reduce shipping costs, I assume? And if your friend helpfully brought one of the boxes into the garage and hid it in a corner, you might not realize that.

I'm a bit skeptical of the newer design where the joints don't snap/lock into place the way they used to, but it probably still works.

S. Duck: UPDATE 7/2018. We've had this pool for a few years now. YES, it's lasted that long, although this year we may take it completely down and reset it again as it is starting to lean slightly (due to a young person trying to climb over the side.) The main pump is still working fine, although I will tell you honestly that it doesn't have a lot of suction for the pool vacuum. I'm not really pleased about the 2-hoses-to-the-pump setup because of this. Even when you block off one hose, there just isn't a lot of suction power. We have a farm and the pool gets a lot of sand in it, so I'm thinking of getting a battery-powered or rechargeable vac. Ladder: We replaced the ladder with a better quality one as we're in our late 40s and not quite as spry or thin as a teen. Saltwater system: This ended up not working well for us. Maybe it's the Texas heat, but the pool seemed to stay green no matter how much it ran, never got a high chlorine amount, and I was having to shock it anyway. We took off the saltwater pump and just started using regular chemicals. It's honestly easier for us and the pool looks a lot better. Overall, we've been extremely pleased with this pool for the amount of money it...

Adam M. LenkeAdam M. Lenke: The reason for purchase:
I purchased the  Intex 15ft X 48in Metal Frame Pool Set  to replace my  Intex 12ft X 30in Easy Set Pool Set . If you have the space, I would highly recommend just getting away from the easy set pools in general. The inflatable ring always went flat and would change with the temperature not to mention I had to repair the holes in it constantly. Also would easily tip over and dump out at least half the contents if overfilled due to rain water if not completely level.

The pool was fairly easy to setup once I had a nice flat base. I was able to accomplish this nearly by myself with no help. My wife assisted me with putting on the legs but i could have done it without her. I found it easier to only put one plastic pin in per t-fitting all the way around and then go back and put in the second pin after the circle was completed. One thing to note is that the instructions are terrible and that there is NO bottom rope as shown in all the pictures and documentation. That appears to be a feature that has gone away. Also the center belt has a loop for each leg that slides on the center belt instead of the legs going behind the center belt....
