INTEX 28253EH Metal Frame Above Ground Swimming Pool Set: 18ft x 48in – Includes 1500 GPH Cartridge Filter Pump – Removable Ladder – Pool Cover – Ground Cloth

I thought I was getting kind of a small pool. I picked this because it said metal siding, that’s not true by the way, it’s metal poles. I comes with the filter, it comes with the tarp to put under it and it comes with a cover. Great!!When my husband put it together I did help and it was pretty easy. He did add some bricks under the poles to try and level it a little, ignoring the fact I said let’s get some sand,,, it still works!I thought this was going to be kind of small something to just cool off in, well it’s pretty darn big for the price.We bought a small one about 2 years ago and gave it to someone when we moved. So the same price as that smaller one I got this bigger one with all the added extras! And yes the ladder comes with it also.Our other pool had a ladder and it was very flimsy. This one is a little better, but these aren’t the best ladders in the world. It works, it does the job and it comes with the pool!These was a small leak in the hoses where they connected. My husband had to re-tighten it work with it a little and walla it has no more leak!We ordered a pool starter kit on line for like 30 dollars and it turned our yellowish water crystal clear.We are very happy with this pool.I am 5’2 and on one side it goes up just under my “girls” and another side it is just at my waist. We did not fill it all the way incase we get some big rain storms we have some room, I guess, that what he said lolWith some floaties and rafts this is perfect for us to cool off on a summer day and looks like a real pool, not some little kiddie pool! Worth every penny!!

My family had one of these when I was young and now that I have my own daughter, I knew I had to get one for us. They've changed a little in the past 12 years but this is definitely the best "big purchase" I've all year! The only thing I don't like is the ladder - the one they used to come with had a platform at the top and now they don't. My concern is if someone were to slip, they will land right on railing of the pool (God forbid they already have one leg over to get in cuz....ouch...). It makes the ladder feel a little less stable without that platform, too. But the quality of the pool itself seems to be just as good as I remember - the last one held up for 10 years so I'm hoping I can get this one to last at least half that! The last one did get a few leaks over the years but they weren't hard to patch.It does take some time to set up and it is IMPERATIVE that its on level ground. Take my advice and don't just eyeball the ground and assume it's level. I learned that the hard way. Even with it empty, there is no real way to shift it easily without tearing it down and reassembling it. I do remember that it does take a few years (setting it up a few times) till you get the hang of it but once you've done it a few times and you know your ground is level, it's really not hard to put up.The pump isn't the greatest but I'm sure you can upgrade it if you'd like. It definitely suits the needs of my family and if you want something better than a kiddie pool but can't do a "real" pool, I recommend one of these 100%!!

We bought this pool being first time pool owners and knew this was going to be a learning curve for us. The biggest thing I can say is TAKE YOUR TIME AND LEVEL THE GROUND! we spent sooo much time trying to make it LEVEL and it still isn't perfect. If you're able to, I highly recommend finding someone with a bobcat or tractor to help level the pool surface. We did it by hand and have hours put into it and it's still decently off.The pool itself is great and works for my wife and I to float. I will say the ladder is very flimsy even for me being average build at around 190lbs. I would recommend looking into a better ladder if you plan on keeping it.Other than that I really can't complain about it for the price. It's been great the past couple months we've had it. Other than initial setup, just make sure to test weekly for chlorine and ph levels and keep those in check and it should be great.

We always purchase this type of cool. We start from the thirteen Food, then the fifteen, and now we purchase eighteen feet diameter. We never have any issues. Complaints beside that normal problems with holes any pool can have after being used it for one or two Seasons. Pump always were easy to use with an external timer plug in to a GIF outlet...until this yeqr we bought the 18' diameter pool. First We purchased a month echo before the warm weather arrive. We live in new york and at the time we assemble it (May). We found a kind of leake amd no understand how to Use a new water pump what's timer.We get frustrated because the leak in the time to return It to Amazon. Expire one day before we know all these issues. Anyway, we sit down and the next days we figure it how to Use a new water pump with timer. It was very simple. That's the reason attaching a video to explain you. I know a lot of people catch it right away but for me It was no clue to see a # 1 below the # 0 until I figure this are On and OffThese bowls are very good, strong man. This water pump is amazing. It works and works., Also I call intext customwr service and they didn't gave me any problem to send me a new one if I need it.

First of all just to say how livid I am about this I have never written a review in my life until now! Loved the pool for the price when I bought it 2 year’s ago. It was around 300 dollars or so which I did not expect it to last more than 3 summers at the most with cheap aluminum. I had it for 2 summers and was hoping for a third until I saw the rusting inside and out of the framing which is to be expected.Now what makes me livid to no extreme, I went to purchase another one, and again not upset you get what you pay for, but to my shocking surprise now the same cheap aluminum pool that rusted in less that 3 years as well as having to buy a new pump after the second is now 1300.00 dollars all I have to say is someone needs to be drug tested to think cost and demand gives them a right to raise the same cheap 300 dollar pool to an extra 1000 dollars that should be not only illegal but a “” felony that should be considered robbery!!!!
