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...
