INTEX 26797EH Prism Frame Premium Oval Above Ground Swimming Pool Set: 20ft x 10ft x 48in – Includes 1500 GPH Cartridge Filter Pump – Removable Ladder – Pool Cover – Ground Cloth

Great pool. Perfect size for 2-3 people. Quality is awesome and easy to put together. You may need another person for the pipe assembly. Zero regrets or issues and I would buy again.

Just put this up and have swum in it twice already. You definitely need two people to finish putting it up, but you can start with one person.I filled it to the line like it says, but I didn't expect the water to splash out of the corners the way it does. It's not terrible but just unexpected.One other unexpected thing is the cover. It has holes in it designed to prevent water from collecting on top, from rain, I assume.Mosquitoes are a big thing here, and I wanted the cover so they couldn't get to the water. The holes aren't huge or anything, but they are enough for them to take over if not cleaned out on a very frequent basis.Speaking of the cover, the darn thing gets HOT! When I pulled it back yesterday to get in the pool, I would swear I could have made a cup of hot tea with the temperature of that water! That said, I used a telescoping pole to mix the water, and it evened out with the cooler water on the bottom. Just be aware of that.The instructions were pretty straightfoward. The pump came with some extra pieces, so that kind of threw me off for a minute, but everything came together just as it should have. I didn't use the talc powder they recommended for putting the poles in the liner. It was pretty easy to put in place until the weather started warming up. That made the vinyl warm, and it became a little difficult to put them in, but it still didn't make me use it. I do wonder if it will cause a problem when I try to take it down, though.Last thing, you'll get an update that it shipped but no updates after that until you get a call from a delivery company that they are ready to deliver it.Overall, very happy with it and would highly recommend.

Got this for the wife & I, 66 & 64 years young. We received the pool on 8/4/22 but were told it would be delivered between the 5th & 15th. "Pleasantly surprised". We also ordered the pool maintenance tools. Everything arrived in a very timely manner, undamaged and nothing missing. "Pleasantly surprised". The wife and I set up the pool on a concrete slab surrounded by the lawn. We put down an extra tarp, then a painters drop cloth and then the the tarp that came with the pool. Nice and protected bottom. While assembling the pool we found it easier to insert the corner pieces as we went around. It held together better for us. Everything was straight and level as we started filling the pool. In the meantime, we got all the pump pieces and assembled all that well before the water level got near that level. We had no problems with the liner creasing or folding. The only concern I had was as the pooled filled higher and higher, the side frames continued to bow in more and more. Looked very awkward and not right. I was afraid that the curvature would dislodge the joints. But as it got full of water the bow in the side frameworks got less and less. There still is a bow... acceptable...but nothing like there was. We were in the pool enjoying it as it filled up. It took 7 hours to fill. Day 2: the pool made it through the night. I turned the pump back on and we are back to enjoying it in this Reno, NV heat. Very "Pleasantly surprised"!

Update 2024:I’ve setup the pool 3 of the last 5 years and am contemplating a bigger one since the grandkids are now much bigger and thought I’d update the review . No change to any of my 1 month review comments below. Additionally:- realistically our swim season here in Colorado is at best 3 1/2 months and I take down the pool each year prior to cold weather. This style of pool is really good for such use as it’s easy to setup and knock down. I do it solo but it’s easier with a helper. Takes me half a day but most of that time is in leveling the base. I still much dislike constantly banging into the vertical supports during swim season by the way but I’m the only one in the family they seem to annoy.- Intex actually builds a good pool for the price. My only real gripe is that the numerous plastic bearing surfaces in the upright and horizontal supports were falling apart after only 2 years of light use. However replacements are available from Intex. Not expensive individually but you need a lot of them.- pump still going strong though it has almost no reserve power to handle dirty filter and add-ons such as a skimmer and a vacuum is likely out of the question. I added the $17 Intex skimmer and is definitely worth getting though under performs due to the pump.- Save a ton of money by learning how to clean and reuse the filter.- I’m borderline fixated on protecting the liner during storage, installation, take down, etc thus was extremely annoyed to find 3 leaks upon setup this year. 2 were pinholes I could see but 1 was underneath. Not difficult to patch but by the time the patch kit arrived the leaks had magically stopped.- yes the supplied ladder is lightweight but was still in great shape after 2 seasons of heavy use by elementary school aged kids. This year I built some 4’ wide steps covered with outdoor carpet and attached an aftermarket pool ladder to the top step. Wish I’d done this the first year as everyone loves it and so much easier/safer for grandparents to enjoy the pool. Kids are going to jump off the ladder no matter what you say and the homemade stairs are perfect for that.Original review in 2019:This review is based on having the pool up for only a month. Pool is relatively easy to assemble. Directions are adequate but not great. Liner seems sturdy though the multiple seams do tend to collect dirt. Other reviewers have had very negative observations of the pump. After a month it seems to me adequate but it is getting louder and I am shopping for a replacement. A lot depends on how much the pool is used and how clean surrounding environment is. The pump has a timer option I like where it runs set number of hours each day. if you have active kids or larger adults using the pool plan on replacing the ladder within a couple months. Power cord has built in GFCI that seems very, sensitive- probably a good thing though annoying because it seems to randomly trip even with nobody around.I wanted to rate the pool a 3 because of what it isn't but it is a decent pool so went with 4 stars. But beware of the below negatives I found for my situation.Things I don't like:- I don't think I would buy this pool again solely because of how it is supported. The numerous support feet stick well out from the pool and people are constantly banging toes and tripping over the supports. Also there is a plastic-welded strap from bottom of supports to bottom of pool that is natural for people to step on but not strong enough to withstand the weight of a person plus weight of pool. I marked durability down a star for this reason.- Round vs oval shaped: In my case oval is only shape that would fit my situation but if I had the room I would go to round next time. Nothing wrong with oval but for a bunch of kids splashing around I think round would have more utility. Personal opinion only and not a factor in my star rating for this review.- There is not much useful guidance in directions on preparing surface to set pool on. This is my first pool and after hours of web research it seems to me surface prep advice from the manufacturer is a primary requirement. Intex doesn't provide much help. I have pool on a large concrete patio and the amount of work, crushed rock, retaining edges for the rock, etc to prepare an already sturdy, smooth concrete slab with slight drainage slope was surprising. Very pleased with end result (pool perfectly level and rock solid installation) but 2 guys much of a day to prep existing concrete surface and erect the pool was not expected.Do yourself a favor and set the pool on something sturdy and kind to feet such as outdoor carpet or in my case I used that 1/2" blue foam insulation board at Lowes taped together with gorilla tape. Glad I did and next year think I will additionally cover the foam with outdoor carpet and extend carpet well out from pool because even with the foam, walking on or hitting the bottom of pool feels kind of firm. (yeah I know a person over 60 yrs old should probably should not be demonstrating for grandchildren cannon balls into a 48" deep pool but what can I say...).- There is no guidance for first time pool owner to navigate the seemingly complex areas of pool supplies, pool chemistry, maintenance equipment, etc, etc, etc. I'd say that one should budget at least 50% of pool cost for all the "stuff" a pool owner should probably have or do. Site prep could easily add another 50-100% and if you get into buying a decent ladder or a better pump/filter/salt purifier setup the cost quickly escalates even further.
