Intex 18ft x 48in Easy Set Swimming Pool Kit with Filter Pump, Ladder, Ground Cloth & Cover for a Safe and Enjoyable Swimming Experience

Tonya: Easy set up, no air or water leaks. Top air ring doesn’t seem to need topped off yet after being setup for 6 days. It is a perfect backyard swimming pool big enough for a family of 5 to enjoy together without being on top of each other. The hard part is working out any wrinkles (2 people) as your filling the pool. Next year when I put it back up I will open it up and let it set in the sun for a bit before starting to fill and smooth wrinkles. I bought a 15 mil tarp to go under the tarp that comes with it before even seeing the supplied tarp because of reviews. So glad I did because the supplied tarp is very thin and hardly a tarp in my opinion. The pool steps are basic, but functional. Very pleased with the purchase so far.

Todd CoppakenTodd Coppaken: Great pool. Instructional video was very helpful in showing proper set up. All parts were included, and it was set up within two days. Our water pressure is pretty weak, so it took a full two days to fill. I cleaned out the filter every other day, just used a pressure nozzle on my hose to clean it up. I also ordered replacement filters from amazon for the rest of the summer use. I did need to buy pool chemicals from a pool store to learn how to properly keep the water balanced, but I have no prior experience with Pools, so the store helped me greatly. I definitely recommend running the pool pump overnight to keep the water moving and brooming the bottom of the pool a couple times a week. More if it’s used heavily. Upgrade the pool pump if you can, might make keeping the water cleaner, but bc of Covid and high demand for pools, I was not able to get one. Having said that, however the pump that came with the pool kept the water clean and clear. After summer, we cleaned it and folded it up and managed to get it back in the original box . We did need to use a diluted bleach solution on the underside of the pool, rinse it well, than allow to dry in the sun. Sprinkled talc powder and...

Gregory Honeycutt: The Pool was easy to set up. Would recommend a sand filter & Pump rather than the basic filter element & pump that came with it. Also get a pool vacume because the bottom of pool will need to be vacuumed periodically. Also very very important the top float ring that you inflate it is important to keep it wiped down with a protectant like Armor All or 2000 protectant to keep it from getting sun baked. My pool almost lasted two summers but I did not keep the float ring wiped down with UV protectant. My float ring started getting pin holes in the float ring because the sun baked it. If you don’t want to deal with this maintenance I would recommend not purchasing this pool. The instructions don’t tell you to use UV protectant, instructions only say to keep it wiped and this definately will not keep it from getting sun baked and tiny pin holes start appearing causing it to deflate and you loose a lot of water when that happens. I had 20 holes in my float ring and found that only Automotive urethane would seal and stick to the pin holes. Finally before this summer was up I gave up on repairing pin holes and took a razor knife and cut the pool into manageable pieces and...

Still KickinStill Kickin: This is my 4th purchase of this pool in the last 6 years. My first time through Amazon (usually through Academy). It is holding up well and I have 11 grand kids that give it a run for it's money all summer long. There are pros and cons on different pieces of this pool. The pool (body) itself is sturdy, easy to set up and the inflatable ring works to keep the pool balanced. It must be level to start with. I put a load of sand under mine and then spray weed killer on the sand and a foot around the circumference the day before I set up the pool (nut grass can grow up through the liner.) You must clean under the inflatable rim on a weekly basis, however, to keep algae and debris from gathering under it. Just hand the kids a regular kitchen sponge and have them go around and scrub under the rim a couple of times a week. Prevention is way easier than trying to get rid of yucky stuff later.

You MUST learn how to take care of the water if you want anypool to stay swimable and quite honestly the pumps that come with this one are not so good, especially if you live somewhere hot like I do (Texas.) In my opinion and experience, the pump that comes with this pool does not turn the...
