Got this thing delivered, but stalled a week on setting it up because I had read the reviews that say you have to put it on a "completely level surface".Kids and wife got tired of waiting so I just set it up.We don't live on a slope or anything, but the ground isn't completely level, and the pool is fine.I don't know if it will last until next summer, but so far it's been wonderful!The cover, which I also hesitated to use after reading complaints is just fine also.I love this thing!!Only caveat I can offer is that the width is 15 feet at the bottom, about 12 feet at the top, and at max depth the water only goes to 41 inches, not 48.These two things have effected my enjoyment absolutely NONE.

We have had three of theseINTEX Easy Set Up pools in the past five years. For safety reasons we decided to start with the small one and just last year our son was tall enough to move on to this great big wonder of a pool. We love it!!! It is true that it is not easy to set up but a nice BBQ and some pina coladas will surely bring in the help needed. All you really need is a little air pump to start the set up. It is heavy and it will not fill in a couple of hours so forget that; but after it is laid out you are all set...the pool appears the next morning, like magic! there are no complicated floor plans, no weird poles and there is just no way you can get it wrong. BUT, remember that you want to put the hoses away from the normal walking traffic path...it can be a serious safety issue with kids tripping or you might just mow the cord down while doing the grass. Keep this in mind if you decide to skip the set up video; most men don't "need to watch the video", HaHaHa! This pool is a really great investment. If you have a small yard, it is a keeper. You take the water out in the fall, leave it in place covered by a tarp and set up the trampoline right over it for fall fun. It is worth the heavy lifting and every penny.... your
kids will love it! Invest in a REAL filter if you decide to buy
a small one...the large ones come with a good filter but the small ones come with a joke of a filter, spare yourself hours of
cleaning by buying a good filter. Your time in the pool is better spent playing than cleaning, YUK! We loved this pool so much we have had three ... Each one a little bigger than the last; wonder if they'll come out with a six foot one>>> YIKES!

You can't get more for your money than one of these pools, period. If it lasts 2 or 3 seasons so what. I replaced an Aqua Leasure after 2 or 3 with an Intex 15X42. Both worked very well. The sides of the Intex are a little more upright so you have more usable area inside the pool which I like. This makes the sides a little less stable but even with 9 year olds jumping over the sides you don't lose any or hardly any water unless they a couple of them lay on the upper air ring and try to push it down. The Intex and Aqua are both very sensitive to level ground. Mine is on the patio concrete which slopes away from the house for rain run off purposes. Even this causes considerable uneveness in the water level. I added some carpet pieces to the "low side" just under the outside edge. Helped a little I think. Again, so what. Water is full on one side a few inches low on the other. No one but me even notice. But don't try to set up on more slope than I'm discribing. Filter works fine. Skimmer pole is very sturdy. Ladder works fine and does not rust for some reason like the Aqua Leisure did. I use clorine strips to test water. Just dip and read. Very easy. Be sure to keep clorine level up. I added clorine after tester showed white or none. Wrong, add before clorine goes to zero level or you will get dark emerald green swamp water as a surprise one day. Triple clorine or so solved problem. Leslie pools were very helpful and refused to sell me more expensive fix I was demanding."Just try the extra clorine first, sir". Intex comes with nice cover too. Helps keep pool clean, but if dirty you can do two things. Put garden hose in pool with a weight on the end and run water to fill the hose. Turn off and remove from hose bib and take quickly to lower ground setting up a siphon. Get in pool and "vacume" up the dirt with slow even strokes. On a hot day, if you like to keep a clean pool, very pleasurable job. Oh, before the vacume get in and run around the pool creating a spinning vortex or what ever you call it. In 30 minutes or more the dirt will consentrate on ridges in the bottom. (hard not to have some)
Setup is of course much longer than the 15 minutes or so advertized. The reason is because it is a little hard to spread the pool out evenly. The warmer the weather the better to soften the plastic. And once you get a inch of wate in the pool it becomes VERY heavy and hard to change. Use the plastic tarp for sure so you don't slide the pool on concrete or something abrasive. Infact try not to slide the pool at all. Lift and fold instead. I had to move the pool once this year (Wifes idea)folded and placed on piano mover (lowboy with casters). Left in the sun and when I went to move it, sides had fallen down and were scraping on concrete for about 10 ft of travel. Yup, three holes.(Wifes fault) Used the hole patch stuff from the inside and no leaks. Here in southern Cal I keep it up for maybe 4 month per year. After that kids don't seem to use it and water is not near as warm. My child loves it, neighbors love it. Neighbor put in pool so it got lots less use this season but they still come over to both houses. I paid $210 at Leslies Pools in Fontana CA location (big selection)Have seen them less and 50% higher other places. These are real pools by the way. You'll want to spend a little time with them cleaning and checking clorine, using filter etc. But after 4 months my pool is in the garage waiting for next year and there "real" pool is in need of a pool boy all year with all the other costs. Ok, their pool looks nicer with all that concrete and faux rock and plants and lighting. But for $200 bucks this pool is a deal. If I have the time I'll try to upload some video later.

This is our second time using this easy set pool style; we've moved to a larger size as our kids have grown.We actually contracted to put in an above ground pool, but after numerous headaches with the local pool company and the installer we ordered this and "installed" it in a weekend.

The trickiest part is getting the base level.A couple years ago it took us literally weeks to get correct.Now our circle is perfect, and I don't even mind what it looks like in the off-season before the snow covers the ground.

What happened to our former pool?We took it to the swap shop at our town's transfer station.Hopefully some other family enjoyed it last summer; it still had plenty of life in it.

After reading every positive and negative review I could find on this pool, my husband and I decided to give this pool a try.We went over all the complaints, from treating the pool, putting a cover on the pool, and the most important thing is making sure the ground is level. So I will pass on a few tips that can help you the future pool buyer be aware of. The first thing that is the hardest part and can be a bit of a pain. You should measure out the diameter of pool and go around placing a level on a brick (or something that won't be warped) work your way through out thecircle and check to see how level your ground is. If you need to put down sand or something to make the ground as level as possible I would do it. It took my husband 2 hrs to get this done. Next we laid out a ground cover, we were really not sure if we needed this or not.Then came the pool, and using a small air compressor (not a bike pump like the video shows) it took 45 min. to completely fill the ring. You must fill ring to the point where there are no more wrinkles in it. Then we did as the video says, to remove wrinkles in the bottom of pool. With 2in of water in the pool, my husband started from the center on hands and knees pushing wrinkles to the outer edges. Then filled the pool the rest of the way, and put the cover on it when we were done. The next day we had a bad rainstorm, and when it cleared up there were leaves and dirt all over the cover. After pulling the cover back finding a clean pool, that was a plus. We found a couple of pluses to the ground cover. If you put a bucket of water next to the ladder you can wash dirt off your feet and not bring it into the pool, and when you come out of the pool you can step on the cover and not wet ground from where the kids have been splashing water out. As for chemicals, you do need them. Buy a tester, or take your water to be tested. Get a floating chlorine dispenser, clearifier, and algaecide. We haven't used the last two yet, but you never know. So as a overview of the pool. You will get close to 15' across on the top if your ground is level and you will be able to get the 36" if your ground is level. Add more air the next day to the upper ring since sun expands the vinyl some. Spend the extra money to get a pool cover, it will save on time wanting to get in the pool instead of fishing things out. I know I have done a lengthy review, but I hope this information has helped you, and saved you a little time looking around as I have at everyone elses complaints. It took my husband and I 8hrs from start to finish. My husband and I enjoy our pool, but not as much as our 2 kids.So the extra work was worth it...

Average Reviews:

I purchased this pool last year for my family. It might only take 15 minutes to set up if you have help...it took more than 15 minutes just to get the ground cloth the way I wanted it. Your ground MUST, MUST, MUST be level. If it's off more than 1 inch you're in trouble. Don't try filling it higher than the instructions say or you'll have one of your children going over the top (which they loved and asked if they could do again, I said no) with 100 gallons of water or so. The instructions say to run the filter for something like 5-6 hours per day. No, you need to run the filter 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.Forget the little floating Chlorine tablet thing.Go buy the small 1 inch chlorine tablets and fill the center of the filter after it's in the pump container with the tablet. Refill every 2-3 weeks when you change or clean the filter.You can take the filter out and clean it with the hose and/or soap and water/hose instead of putting out $7.00 every 3 weeks for a new filter. I've learned all this by doing it the wrong way and then talking with the pool guys and learning the right way. But after it's all set up and going it's so much fun, even for the adults. You just have to be committed to keeping it going. And you save water by not having to dump it out every few days.

I have had this pool for three years now, I had the smaller one before that. It is wonderful. The key is to buy the saltwater filter. If you do this it is easy to maintain, and NO CHEMICALS. I live in southern California and it gets HOT in the summer. This pool goes up in MAY and down In September. I run the pump 24/7 to keep it crystal clean, and never notice it on my electric bill. Try that with an in ground pool!

Average Reviews:

Assembly only took about an hour with a bunch of kids running around and rushing me. I didnt even have to watch the dvd that came with it to figure it out. I'm female & 4' 11". Got it filled with 2 garden hoses in about 8 hours. I did put carpet under it just in case there were small pebbles I might have missed. I put it on concrete instead of grass and the ground is slightly unlevel, but pool is holding up fine. After a few days of pool use and hardly any chemicals since I was still waiting for them to be delivered, the water got a little cloudy. As soon as I received my checmicals kit, I shocked it with 2/3 cup of chlorine and added PH minus to bring it to the right level. After just 5 hours, the pool now looks nice & clean again except for the leaves that fell to the bottom which I will vacuum with my automatic pool cleaner. The vacuum given with the pool is really cheap and hard to use for me since I am petite, so I bought an automatic cleaner which is $[...] at "[...]", but it's going to save me a lot of time and aggravation. The ladder is narrow and is also a bit shaky, but it does hold up just fine also. This is the 1st time I've ever left a review, but I thought it was neccessary since there are a lot of people who complain that it is hard to setup and keep up. I am the laziest person in the world and I've managed to keep it up. That's just how easy it is. Hope this review helps.
