Customer Rating:      Summary: 2nd year and holes everywhere Comment: I thought this pool was great the first year. took care of very well and took down in the fall to store. 2nd year I started to have leaks in the bottom and on the sides. So I took it down half way through the summer, and found over 25 slit holes, 20 of which were on the bottom. I patched them all up instead of buying a new one. Hopefully, since I refilled it, it will last through August. I will never buy another one again... The filter also went bad this year, and I had to buy a new one.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great investment! Comment: I spent weeks searching for an appropriate pool for my 11yro step-son's b-day. I was really concerned about purchasing something that would be unsafe, a pain to set up, require a lot of maintenance, or cost a fortune. I had to take into account a 4 year old that is just learning to swim, our not completely level yard, our LARGE lab, durability, and cost. We have had this pool for several weeks now and it is phenomenal. I was so worried about getting something that would be too small, too big, cheap, or wouldn't work on level ground. Based on the other reviews, I decided to go with this pool. As previously mentioned, this pool is very forgiving. There is about a 2" difference from one side to the other in water level which has not caused us any problems at all. My boys are rowdy and this pool is showing absolutely no signs of wear. This pool is big enough for me and the two kids to swim in at the same time with room to spare. All we did for set up was mow down a portion of the lawn, lay down a tarp (which I would recommend) and follow the set up directions. Easy! The pool was ready for swimming in a few hours. Everything you need is included - (besides the tarp & chemicals obviously) pool, frame, filter pump, hoses, filter AND cover which I was surprised to find in the box. I bought one extra box of filters for a few dollars and have just rinsed, dried and re-used as suggested by another person. We also put a small bucket of water outside of the pool to clean feet before entering, as suggested by someone else. We've used this pool far more than anticipated and have really enjoyed it. This pool takes VERY LITTLE maintenance. Great price for this pool. Remember to set the pool up within 20 feet of an outlet so you can plug in the filter.
POSITIVES: price, durable, great size for kids (water comes to 4 year olds neck but is still deep enough to swim in), low maintenance, quick set up, everything included, easy to drain with spout on bottom.
NEGATIVES: None that I can think of. I highly recommend this product.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great pool! Terrible filter! Comment: Love the pool. Filter no way is powerful enough for this pool and this is the smallest one the company makes. The pool construction is great! I understand this is the same model filter that comes with the larger Intex pools as well. Mine is so small that I opt to drain the pool when it gets really dirty, but with a larger model that may not be an option. Intex u are making a killing out there, give the people a better filter!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Pool! Comment: The pool is great. It comes with a special kit in case you get a small tear in the pool, and as long as you change the filter an use a few chemicals the water is maintained at a good level
Customer Rating:      Summary: Intex Pool Comment: This pool is easy to set up, just the right height for my two year old to stand in and large enough for my wife and I to be in the pool with him. We have not had the pool very long but we have used it a few times and find it to be great :-)
