Fun, Fun and Fun! May 01, 2006 We received this pool as a gift last summer (2005) and it has been the BEST gift we have ever recieved. It is easy to set up (my Hubby set it up totally by himself with no problem!)and it took only about 5 or 6 hours to fill. With regular and consistent maintance (i.e. checking the water chemical levels, adding chlorine and algecide as needed and regularly, and "regularly/faithfully" changing the pool filter... we changed our's every 2 weeks)we didn't experience ANY problem with cloudy or green pool water. One word of advice... 'DO' invest in a pool brush to scrub down the sides and bottom of the pool on a regular basis and also "DO" invest in a pool vacuum. We bought one that is a small vacuum which operates by attaching to your garden hose (found it at Walmart!). It was awesome at cleaning the bottom of the pool! Simply following these basic pool maintance and cleaning steps should promise you clean pool water. Remember... it DOES take work to keep ANY pool clean!!! Our family (there are 4 of us!) all fit very comfortably in the pool and have room to spare. Our two children learned to swim in this pool and are in it every day (weather permitting!)with 'multiple' pool toys and paraphanlia. One more word of advice... the ground you select to set the pool up on should be as level of a spot as possible or the pool will tilt and put pressure on the pool poles/legs and could possibly cause them to bend. It also causes the water in the pool to not be evenly distributed, one side will be deeper than the other. Also, use a ground cover cloth to set the pool on, otherwise the poles/legs WILL sink into the ground. All in all, this is a WONDERFUL pool and will provide many summers of fun!

Paid for itself many times over Nov 07, 2005 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.

Worth Every Dime Jul 13, 2005 We bought the 15 x 42 after reading lots of reviews. It was easy to set up (even though my husband and I did NOT get it level!) Its easy to maintain. (I am not thrilled with the vacuum, but hey...) It has been absolutly perfect for our kids (ages 7 and 4). I would, and have, been recommending to our friends. SO MUCH BETTER THAN the inflatble ring pools.

Fun Pool! Jun 11, 2005 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.

Big and Durable!! Jun 10, 2005 After an extensive research I decided this was the best swimming pool to buy for my kids 8 and 13, the metal frames retain the walls so water don't fall out, as with the other inflatable pools which is you lay on the side it will give up and the water will get out. Luckily I found it in a local store and I didn't have to pay for shipping charges! It turned out to be very easy to set up, it took about 8 hours to fill it out, but it was worth it, the only problem I think is the pump which after two weeks stop working, the cover is very hard to install and when you take it off, there is no way to avoid the leaves and stuff to fall into the water, so we don't use it at all; the video with instructions had a very low quality, we could barely view it. Also, I wish they had more instructions on what and how much chemicals add to the water to keep it clean; When we went to the store there were so many things that we got all confused! We ended up buying some chlorine bags to kill the mold and keep the water clean, but by the third week the water turned green, we had to drain it and it took over 12 hours to do so. Over all, this is a great pool, my kids and us are having a great time, I highly recommend it and suggest you all to find out all about pools before buying to avoid the problems I had.
