This pool is great for the price. It is big enough for our family of four and to have a few friends in too. The set up as far as the pool its self is easy but you have to have a level spot. that is the hard part. you also need to buy the sand to go under it or you will end up with a hole in the bottom... read full review »

The Frame Set Pool by Intex is the perfect size for backyard fun. It allows the whole family to cool off in the pool, regardless of height or swimming ability.

The pool is reasonably priced for such a large item, is fairly easy to setup and the only real cost you have after the initial purchase is the increase in your water bill to fill the pool. If you buy a fitted cover for the pool you will save even more money by not having to change the water frequently.

The water only comes up to about 3 ft, so kids ages 4 and up can generally stand in the pool without going under. Of course kids need to be...

I bought this pool in early June at sale at a Meijer store. I have too say I am so happy I bought this pool. Set up was easy, but I did have hubby rent a bobcat and level out our yard where it sits since there was a four inch drop from one side to the other. It is really big and deep for the little money we paid for it. I have never had a pool before so I bought one of the starter sets that have the chlorine tablets and shock in it and I haven't had any problems so far. I did find that the "vaccum" attachment wasn't doing such a great job so I bought some tubing and a real vaccum and pole for the... read full review »

My husband and I LOVE our Intex above ground vinyl pool! We've had it for about a year or more. Taken it down to re-level the bottom here recently, bought pool floaties/toys and a robot vacuum pool cleaner, a new saltwater generator pump. We have "little" maintenance to do now with the new saltwater system than before. No more chlorine chemicals, no more algae! That's the only drawback was the pump in my opinion didn't pump enough gph so we now have a 2,000 GPH. Our friends and family come over and enjoy it also. The sun heats up the vinyl which heats up the water during the daytime....at night... read full review »

I purchased an Intex round metal framed 48"x24'.  First, it's not an easy setup, lots of work!  The day after setup it collapsed because the feet on the metal poles are too small and therefore sunk into the ground.  Called Intex-horrible customer service, asked for a supervisor, stated they would call me back, never did.  Sent E-Mail, reply stated "we would not replace the parts because they were damaged due to set up on soft soil or loose soil, we warn against it in the manual. If you'd like replacement parts, I regret to inform you that you would have to purchase them.".  My soil is not...

We have had our Intex pool for about 3 years.  It has been a great pool for our two kids.  It is not too big but not too small. Big enough for adults to get into on those hot hot days and cool down.  About the right size for 2 to 4 kids depending on age.  Our pool has held up well but we have had to replace a few poles due to rust.  For 3 years of use I'd say we have gotten our moneys worth out of it.  Pump has held up well but we have had to replace the hoses, should be a bit bigger though.  We also use a salt water chlorinator which is great.

I don't really have any complaints other than...

I bought this Intex pool two summers ago and I love it.  It is the best investment I have ever made.  We used the pool everyday and we took it down at the end of the season.  It is so easy to put together and take down.  It stores very nicely too.  The one thing that made me a little nervous was the metal bars, they started leaning towards the end of the summer.  It never fell over though!  I also did not like the ladder so I went and bought a plastic one where the one side flips up for safety reasons.  For the money you pay for this instead of a permanent one, I do think you save a lot... read full review »

We bought one of these pools and had it for 2 summers. By the third summer the poles were rusting out and we put gorilla tape over the holes to prevent anyone from getting hurt.  We had to replace the filter every summer that we used the pool. We always took the filter system out to store for the winter. Also the hoses don't last for more than a summer. We also had a problem this last summer with the chlorine levels not being right. The pump just wasn't big enogh to pump all that water. My kids ended up getting chlorine burns on their skin(not fun).The next pool we get will have the saltwater...

I had bought one of these pools for my kids last summmer for our annual 4 of July party. I was really suprised at how easy it was to set up. It even came with an instructional DVD to help. Very easy to keep clean with the filters too. And to my suprise it was big enough for all 4 kids and 6 adults. And now that winter is settling in it was a snap to take down. I can't wait to set it up again next summer. I would recommend this pool to anyone thats looking for an inexpensive way to have some great summer fun.

My son and I really enjoyed this pool. It was a very easy pool to set up, I did it by myself in prob about a 1/2 hour (not including the water of Course) but east to do. I got one of the salt filters and it was very easy to take care of, I didn't have to worry about any chemicals, or people's eyes bruning while they were swimming etc... I enjoyed those days that I could just relax on a raft and enjoy the summer sun!

This pool was very easy to set up.  We set ours up on our patio and used carpet pad underneath to soften the bottom for the kids.  The pool is well worth the money and our family is enjoying it.  Set up time was about 30-45 minutes and doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
