 Great Value if you understand drawbacksJan 09, 2009
By P. Coopersmith
This pool is a great buy for the price, but you should understand what you are getting.
1) The sides of the pool rise up as you fill the pool, therefore if you start the pool on an area with a slant you will have problems when the pool fills to the top--one side will have extra material because of the water level. The flatter the surface the better. You can make this work on ground that is somewhat uneven, but it take a lot of work.
2) You MUST make sure that bottom of the pool is pulled out to make a true circle. It is easy to be lazy with this because when there is no water in the pool it can look "good enough," but if you have an oval there is a chance that the water will push out and start to flow out once it is filled.
3) If you plan to put this away year after year get a ground cloth. If the pool is on grass the bottom is IMPOSSIBLE to clean. At the price, I would recommend throwing it out at the end of the season.
4) The pump is very basic. You will need to add chemicals to keep it clean. Get a net to clean the big stuff out.
For the $60-100 price tag you can't really go wrong if what you are looking for is some simple fun and a chance to cool off.

Best 60 bucks I've spent on my son...May 04, 2009
By J. Simpson
MAKE the ground flat...I dug out a space for it in my yard, built a little retaining wall around it with cheap paver bricks, filled the area with sand, leveled the sand, and voila. I leave the pool up in the winter with a cover over it, add the algae-cide and chlorine in the spring and its good as new. This is the best 60-70 dollars I've ever spent on my son. He, my nephews, and any other visitors play for hours and hours in the summer time...absolutely awesome for the money. I run the pump on a timer, 8 hours a day, add about 1 - 3 oz of chlorine granules a day in the hot summer, shock it after storms or heavy use, and it stays clear and clean. The directions clearly state that you must set up on level ground. It will collapse under the weight of the water as soon as a little one leans on an uneven side, so DO NOT USE IT ON UN-LEVEL SURFACES. We are off aprox 1" from side to side and that is about the most you can go without probs. I even take dips after mowing the lawn or working in the yard, and my wife and I use it like a cool-tub for romantic eve's. Nice to sit and sip on wine on a hot August night ; )

GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO IN GROUND POOLMay 05, 2010
By C. Dunn
"ballerina"
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!

swimming in marylandAug 27, 2010
By sandy
I was relunctant at first to review this product until the summer was over...all in all, this has been an enjoyable and wonderful experience for a first time pool owner....I am spoiled now, and I don't think I want to be without one for the next summers to come....hopefully this will work out next summer...
I purchased the 18'x48" Intex easy set pool at the end of June..we have used this pool daily since it went up with the exception of a few rainy days....it took us longer to level the ground than it did to put the pool in place. We used sand as the leveler and it worked out great. It took about 10 hrs to fill (we have a well) and only about 3 days of 90+ weather to get the temp up to 88degs!!
It has been easy to maintain...the hardest was to figure out the amount of chemicals...what worked for us was a floating chlorine dispenser (I used two 3" tablets per week), 1/2 bag of shock per week, and 15ml of algaeside diluted in a gallon jug per week and a new filter) We had crystal clear water all summer and the testing was always within the normals. I couldn't believe how easy it was to maintain....only had to vacuum once (after a storm left a bunch of leaves in the bottom)....I did get a small net to get the daily bugs out with from a local pool company. The skimmer that came with the pool did the larger insects just fine.
My husband was not a firm believer in purchasing this pool, but now that he has had the whole summer to enjoy it, he finally said this week that he is glad we got this pool and how much he has enjoyed it...looking forward to next year...
Hope this will help someone else who is interested in purchasing a pool...this certainly is an easy way to figure out if a pool is something that you would want and you are not out thousands of dollars to figure that out...

 Nice pool for the money, but some limitationsAug 04, 2009
By D. Berthiaume
This is a nice pool for the money, bit there are definite issues:
First, as been pointed out by others, make sure to set it up on a completely level surface. No if, ands, or buts.
Second, the top inflatable ring is extremely prone to leaks. For each of the last two years, after I have taken mine out of winter storage, there have been multiple leaks in the ring. Since a properly inflated ring is crucial for this pool, this is a big deal.
Third, the pump on the new model has a box on the electrical cord with "Test" and "Reset" buttons. This sounds great, but I like to keep my pump on a timer so that it runs at a certain time every day. I can no longer do this, since every time the timer kicks in, you still have to go press the "Reset" button on the box to turn the pump on. This defeats the purpose of automating the process with a timer.
