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 it's wonderful!! Inexpensive and movable, not a permanent...

Now normally I just use regular bleach to help maintain my pool but it is only 6% Sodium Hypochlorate (bleach) and this Liqui-Shock is 10%, so at $2.50 a gallon it was a steal since generic bleach around here is about $2.00 a gallon! — — Smart Products Liqui-Shock — — Normally I use 2 gallons of bleach when I first open my pool for the season and then 1 gallon every 2 weeks to maintain my chlorine levels but that doesn't leave very much "free chlorine" to fight rain, skin oils and the sun. Sunlight will breakdown your chlorine fast. I also have a tablet floater to help out. — — Using this 10% Liqui-Shock my free chlorine has stayed consistently above those levels the past 2 years. It has also helped keep the algae at basy this year a lot better than last year....

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 at the end of the summer. The chemicals get to be really expensive as well. The pump is a joke so you relly need to go to a pool store and but a good one to keep the price of chemicals down. The feet of the poles are way to small and the pool will not stay strudy so you have to make your own platforms for them to give a better stability. The plastic pegs rot quick and break so you end up having to replace them or go buy bolts and nuts insted. If you think you are buying this pool and it will be easy all you do is follow directions and you are good to go forever think again. it is alot of work getting the ground ready and upkeeping it once you get it up. The equipment does have to be...

If you'd like replacement parts, I regret to inform you that you would have to purchase them.".  My soil is not soft AND it doesn't state that in the manual!  I had to pay $120 to replace some of the legs - I didn't even get all of them.  Please be aware that Intex is currently rated an "F" with the BBB. —...

I also have 5 nephews. Our daughter had every birthday party here with at least 15 kids.     We Did have it installed by the company we purchased it from, well worth the extra cost, we where swimming in it the same evening.  The only thing we had to replace the motor after about 8 years, but the liner has never failed us yet.  Can't wait to get it open for another summer. —...

Calls are returned and email and questions are answered patiently and thoroughly. The process has taken a little longer than I expected but the finished product is well worth the wait. I especially like the structured payment schedule so that nothing is paid for until it is completed to my satisfaction. The quality of materials is exceptional and the crews are reliable and courteous. The overall process from start to finish has been really easy and this company has been a pleasure to work with. Ga Classic Pool and Landscape has taken all the stress and worry of permitting and passing inspections out of my hands which is a huge relief. The company has very competitive pricing.  I highly recommend this pool company if you are looking to install an inground pool in the Metro Atlant area (yes you can get water to fill it). Ga Classic Pool and Landscape does everything from your...

I followed the directions for this algaecide and couldn't believe fast it worked. The pool was blue again in less than 24 hours. This was a low cost alternative to calling the pool guy to come and...

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...

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 supervised in the pool at all times and should wear a life vest if they are not trained swimmers. — I recommend this pool to anyone with a yard big enough to hold it. You will be happy with the investment. —... Fri, 17 Aug 2007 12:26:15 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Intex-15X42-Frame-Set-Pool-review-0212 roserighter 5
