Review: Great Value Pool, Easy Setup—Just Plan Ahead for Leveling! - UPDATE: 14SEPT, I've added 3 new images to show you the legs of the pool. Still not a single bit of rust, no bowing- even though the pool is set up crooked, raised on two sides low on the other two. There's not a single indication that this pool is failing and we are nearing the end of summer, the second year. I absolutely love this pool. Every time I go outside, I'm always putting my arms in it and just gliding them through the water just for the feel, and the relaxation of water on my arms, even if I don't get in it that day. It's so relaxing. 🥰 ORIGINAL REVIEW: 01JUL2026 ​I actually purchased this pool late last year and only had it set up for about six weeks. My son and I assembled it ourselves with only minor struggles (and a few choice words 😉). While it was up last year, I had no issues with leaks or failing seams. The filter and skimmer worked just fine and did their job. When the season ended, I drained it myself, wiped it down, folded it up, and stored it in a pool bag. ​Fast forward to this year: I’ve had it up for about two weeks now, and assembly only took about an hour with two of us. It seems to have lost some water, but I’m not sure if that’s due to leveling issues; there are no visible wall leaks, but I'm keeping an eye on it. Still, I’ll be taking it down again to try leveling the ground for the umpteenth time—that's easily the worst part. Pro tip: Rent a skid steer to do it right the first time, or find someone who owes you a huge favor. Other than ground prep, setup couldn't be simpler. It took a full day to fill, but my first swim this year was pure heaven. Nothing beats the brutal mid-summer heat like a dip in the pool! ​Things I Recommend & Noticed ​Value: An absolutely great value for what you get! It comes with the filter, skimmer, ground tarp, ladder, and pool cover. The only extra thing you need to buy right away are the water treatment chemicals. ​Stability: It’s as stable as any other soft-sided above-ground pool. I haven't had any issues with the posts bowing or rusting. My main advice is to keep people off the sides and take the pool down when the season ends (or keep it properly covered). You cannot leave this pool exposed to winter elements and expect the posts to last for years. ​Ground Leveling: This is by far the most tedious part of the setup—it is miserable and time-consuming, so do it right the first time. I suggest placing a 48-inch level on top of a 2x4, using a tiller, and digging down to level the ground. If you’ve never leveled ground for a pool before, I highly recommend watching several YouTube tutorials before you start. ​Recommended Upgrades for Your Setup ​Filter System: The included filter system gets the job done, but you'll spend a lot of time cleaning the pool and adding chemicals to keep the water clear. I strongly suggest upgrading the filter when you can. I switched to a sand filter system using filter balls instead of traditional sand, and it works wonderfully. ​Ladder: You’ll likely want to replace the included ladder. While functional, it’s fairly flimsy. ​Skimmer: The skimmer works flawlessly! Just make sure it’s positioned correctly and it will do its job without a hitch. (I wish I had included that in my video!) ​Chlorine Dispenser: Get a floating chlorine tablet dispenser. It makes maintaining water clarity a breeze. ​Optional Extras I Added ​Lighting: I added three solar-powered RGB LED lights—one sidewall light that changes the water color, and two floating lights that project displays onto the bottom. ​Ladder Accessories: I added a protective mat under the ladder inside the pool to safeguard the liner, along with two 50-lb sandbags to keep the ladder steady. ​Keep in mind that aside from chemicals, the pool comes with everything you need to get up and running—you don't need to buy additional accessories. I only added these extras to make maintenance easier and enhance the experience. Overall, I highly recommend this pool for the cost. You simply can't beat it!
Review: Excellent Pool for Family Fun - We are very happy with this pool. The setup was straightforward, and the frame feels sturdy and well made. It’s the perfect size for our family, and the 48-inch depth is great for both kids and adults. The liner is durable, and the pool has held up well so far. It’s been a great addition for staying cool during the summer. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality above-ground poo
