Intex 18ft x 52in Ultra Frame Above Ground Swimming Pool Set

Seth Reneau: Easy to set up. Just make sure your ground is as close to perfectly level as possible. I was 5" low on one side, which I didn't think was a big deal, until I filled it. It had a good lean to it and I couldn't fill it all the way. Thankfully it was easy to take down as well. Got the ground to within 2" of level and now the pool is great. The pump doesn't quite keep up, but I have a large tree hanging partially over it. I had no other place to put it. If it weren't for the extra debris from the tree, it would be great. These are both user issues, not product issues. Maybe someone can learn from my mistakes as a first time pool owner.

Amazon Customer: Swimming pool is a great value for the money if it lasts a few years which we hope it does. This summer was hot, (southwest Idaho), and having this pool was great. Took 3 people total, but 1 for the most part of getting it ready to lift the sides. No laser leveling or sand required like other pools which you won't know until you do! Sand underneath would have been a good idea, then heavy tarp then pool only because it's a smoother feel, but not required. Just find a very level spot. 3 people can spread out and float comfy on large floats, 4 on rectangular mats. It comes up chest deep and is wide enough for kids to really play. This is definitely for taller kids/ Teens+. NOT FOR LITTLES or TODDLERS unless you are with them in the pool! The one down side is the ladder is cheesy. If your hips are wider than a 40", you will stick! It's very narrow and not very stable/ slightly wobbly. We will get a safer ladder for sure. This company should know about the ladder as all the bad reviews on this pool is about the ladder. It came fairly quick even with a delay, no damage or tears, no missing parts and the delivery people were great. The pool set up as per directions which most come with...

Murray Anthony: Leaks bran new right of the box only one inch of water in it

Amazon Customer: I purchased my Intex 18ft X 52in Ultra Frame Pool Set with Sand Filter Pump, Ladder, Ground Cloth & Pool Cover in February of 2019. Finally got the pad ready and pool set up and running by May of 2019. Love this pool and have enjoyed it thru 2 swim seasons. HOWEVER... February 2021 start up was a bit disappointing as the motor was running a bit louder than past seasons and has even "hung up" several times, just producing a loud hum. I have attempted to contact Intex via phone and email but get no reply/answer. I feel that I am within my 2 year warranty period for a replacement but am having no success at all in making contact. Can't even find a replacement pump motor available on their website and I refuse to purchase the tank AND pump as I do not need a new tank.
Intex needs to take better care of their customers and do a better job of standing behind their warranties.

Ian Abercrombie: Bought this to replace one with an inflatable ring round the top. That one only lasted 18 months here in the Florida sun before the ring became brittle and cracked in several places. This one looks much better made. It was pretty easy to assemble although getting the last horizontal piece in the top ring was a touch tricky.

After only four years the to edge of the liner is shredding from the effects of the sun and the steel supports have rusted badly. Two of the supports have now rusted right through and the pool collapsed. Four year to the day. Given the current price that is around $1 per day just for the pool structure without power and chemicals.

Huy ly: Like another poster, my parcel arrived in a completely annihilated box. My husband and I, along with the delivery man took our time going through each item to make sure it was intact. We ultimately decided to set it up and see if it would hold water rather than go another month + waiting on a replacement. Luckily, several days later, it seems to be okay.

Set-up was a breeze! My ten year old son and I were able to assemble the frame and bladder in a couple hours, begin filling it, and smooth the wrinkles on the floor. The next day, I set up the filter/pump. It is very easy to do solo.

So far, there are no leaks, air or water, which I had experienced with our previous Summer Escapes pool/Intex pump setup. They really make it a pain to use any two brands work with each other. All the hoses and fittings are always different sizes. That's why this time I opted for the all-in-one.

Note that pool sand is much more difficult to find at a big box store these days, as more and more people are switching to a saltwater setup. Your local pool supply store should carry it, however, and you're looking at buying a 50 lb. bag for $10-$12.

I also purchased a standard...
