better than a vacation Aug 04, 2004
By APIMom1999
"wolfsky"
We've been intex easy set fans for several years. We moved into the metal frame model this summer. (04) First let me say we LOVE this company, this pool and we expect (based on previous experience with this type of product from this company) to get 3-4 years of use from this pool. I recommend it 98% (see full review for cavets) We are average people with an average yard with typical divets and uneven spaces. The easy set pools were a challenge to level. The Metal Frame model was much more forgiving of minor lawn issues. Set up was not a breeze...it took about 1 hour to define the site, make sure there were no rocks, pecan shells, etc on the site, just in general prepare the area. Once we got the ground cloth down (highly recommend) then set up moved more quickly, but (and perhaps we were being too anal about it) we were very particular in following the directions and making sure we were on course. SO an hour for actual setup of the pool frame. Filling the pool with the garden hose took about 14 hours...(we drained it once this season and we had a friend of ours who is a fireman come by with the fire truck and it was filled in about 8 minutes!). Once filled and properly treated (PLEASE do the research on keeping the pool sanitary, buy and monitor the chemicals closely, especially if there is heavy bather usage or small children) we were in and having TONS of fun. We are in this pool EVERY day (unless it is raining!). At night I take a break from it all and float and watch the stars. Now, about the filter system that comes with the pool. Intex has been disappointing on the filtration on both the easy set and the frame models. Personally I don't think the 1000 gal/hour filter has the umph to really circulate the water, so one side of the pool always ends up being the yucky side. I can test the water from several places and get different readings. But, if I get in and walk around in a circle a few times the readings are all consistient. We ended up getting the larger 3000 gal/hr filter and that has helped a great deal, but I imagine we will never get the water circulation we desire. The skimmer/filter element works amazingly well, but the benefit of having the surface debris removed has a cost to overall circulation. The "vaccum" that comes with the unit...worthless. Invest in the Waterpik model and you'll be done in 1/8 the time and with more efficiency. The ladder is rated for above 300lbs and we had a "large" friend test that and she felt very confident on the ladder. The cover is a major pain to use, we throw a beach ball in the center to help shed the rain, otherwise the rain just sits on top of the cover and when you remove the cover the rain and the debris all fall into the pool. Having the cover well elevated from the water surface, shedding the rain helps a great deal. If there is a lot of debris on the cover due to wind or rain we can easily hose that off onto the ground rather than it falling into the pool when the cover is removed.

Paid for itself many times over Nov 07, 2005
By SEN We just finished our first summer with the 15 x 30 metal frame Intex pool and it paid for itself within the first month. We swam nearly every day of the long, hot summer. The setup was quick and easy, even though the ground was not perfectly level. It only took a day and a half to fill up the pool, using two hoses going at once. It was our first time to ever have any type of pool and we found the chemicals and pump operations very easy to learn. We even put the pump on a timer and it still worked like a charm! Our kids are ages 6 and 3 and the size and depth of the pool is perfect. The 6 yr old was able to have fun and dive down, yet easily stand with lots of room to spare whenever he got tired. Much better than having a pool that is so deep he'd have to tread water when he got tired. It was also a great pool for teaching the 3 yr old how to swim. There was plenty of room for our family of 4 to all swim at once and have several floats in with us. It's great for adults because you can float or sit down on the bottom and completely emerse yourself with the kids play.
We have two large dogs and although they never tried to mess with the pool, it would have held up pretty well even if they had. The metal frame is a MUST and is so much better than the soft sided pool when it comes to children playing. We laughed at our neighbors who had a soft sided pool; many times their 6 yr old nearly went over the side of the pool when rough-housing.
We took the pool down for the winter and will easily put it up again next summer. The only minor drawback to the pool is the vacuum. With this type of pump, you cannot expect a very good vacuum system. However, we were able to keep the pool very clean. We ended up buying a round vacuum from our local Bonnie & Clyde's supply store (the pool comes with a square vacuum) because of course it fits the round pool better and makes it easier to clean.
I recommend this pool to anyone who can't afford an inground or true above-ground and who are looking for an inexpensive way to enjoy the summer with their kids.

Fun Pool! Jun 11, 2005
By Cathy Strahan I got a little bigger pool, the one that is 15 x 42 and it is awesome! My 9 year old son and his neighborhood friends play in it everyday. It gets very hot here in Houston, so I was concerned about alge and the comments that I have read about the filter. I run the filter all day while I am at work and the kids swim in the afternoons, and this pool is sparkling clean. With daily maintanence, algicide, and the right amount of chlorene it has been a great asset to our family.

Great Buy! Jun 30, 2004
By Amanda I am very impressed. We purchased this pool for our kids ages 5 & 2 (since our dog popped the last one)and they love it. The pool was much bigger than I expected which is great because I was sceptical about the price and durabilty. We have had the pool up for over a month now and it has survived our large dog (who ate the blow up kind in 2 days) it has survived 6 full grown men at a recent birthday party and a lot of horse playing. Very durable! It took me and my husband 45 min to put it together and it's been very easy to maintain. I'm predicting that we will get about 3 good years out of it. Highly recommend!

GREAT FIND! Jun 28, 2004 I just purchased this pool summer 04 and we love it. It is much bigger than I had estimated so I was pleasantly surprised. The box is very heavy and it took me a while to get everything out of the box. It took me only 45 minutes to put it up. It is really durable and I am hoping to get a couple of years out of it. The best thing is that it is a complete pool set. It has a pool mat (which I put sand under)for liner protection, ladder, pump, pool cover and a vacuum with changable strainer head. For the price you just can't beat it.
Be sure the ground is level. My pool is tilted slightly and it caused the liner to streatch and buldge more on one side. It says it is 36 inches deep so I assumed it would come up to my daughter's chest but it actually comes up to her chin! When this one goes I will purchase the 24' x 48" size.
