We could not decide if we were ready for the commitment and cost of a large pool. We were excited when we saw a 36 in x 12 pool. It has been one of our best purchases! We had to buy additional items for it, such as the vaccum, clorine floater and the cover but other than these few items, every thing came with the pool that we needed. We have used this pool almost every day in the summer. It was a great size to learn how to keep the chemicals balanced and to learn to care for it without spending loads of money on clorine and other chemicals. The filter ran perfectly for two full summers of swimming but then it died and a replacement was needed. Big deal, we only gave $88.00 for the pool new, left it out all year long, and have gotten more than our monies worth out of it. We have a little bit of a slope but it wasn't a problem for the pool. My daughter learned to swim in the pool and now has confidence to swim in larger pools. We plan on purchasing a replacement filter. The whole family has enjoyed it and I am grateful that they make these affordable pools!

Our family wasn't ready for the "commitment" of a big pool, so this pool has been wonderful! We don't have small children, but it is perfect for my husband and I to lay out in on floats, and still plenty of room for our teenage son to play around in and cool off. Simple to set up and only 2 hours to fill completely! Highly recommend!

We first bought one of these pools last summer. Right after filling the entire pool we had to take it back because not only did the filter not work, the hose leaked, and there was a hole in the inflatable ring we could not find. Luckily the store we bought it from returned it and gave us another. This pool also had a leak in the ring that we had to fill daily, but we kept it because it was not worth the hassle to take it back again. We stored the pool for the winter and when we got it out this summer, the leak from last year must have gotten bigger, because I now have to fill it up at least 3 times a day. I did find one hole that I patched, but it is still leaking somewhere else. I have notified Aqua Leisure and I have not been getting any feedback at all from them. They seem to be selling many of these pools, but the next one I purchase is NOT going to be a Simple Set. They are not worth all of the hassle.

First of all, I gave this a 3 star rating for educational value because it helped my son gain confidence in the water because he could touch the bottom and he is now swimming on his own. Set up was tricky because our ground sloped ever so slightly but this made a big difference and we had to keep emptying it, repositioning then filling it up again. The main problem with it is that the pump really doesn't do much at all. Especially when the water is still, it just doesn't do anything, just makes some ripples near the top hose. But we are so glad we had the pool for the summer and our kids just love it!

I love this pool so much. You have so much room. If you dont want a samll pool than this is the pool for you. You can learn to do a lot of stuff in it. You can play with toys and even swim. I dont think there is a better pool except the bigger pools for a lot of money. I love this pool and you will too.

My family enjoys this pool very well.It was easy to set up,and was worth the price I paid for it.

We bought the 12' pool on sale in December, then set it up 2 months ago. After having it up for a week, we discovered we needed to chlorinate it and get a simple garden hose "vacuum" for it, which worked fine. After it was up for a week or so, we discovered the base was leaking in one spot, at the seam. After another 2 weeks one of the seams started to pull apart. Multiple patches didn't help, as the material was just falling apart. I tried to reach the manufacturer multiple times, but their phone was always busy. Today a few spots in the area that was "disolving" broke through, giving a "jet" of water coming out of the side. We tried patching to no avail. About an hour ago one of the holes started growing, and after a minute - POW, 1,400 gallons of water out the side, into our yard and down the basement steps. Fortunately our drains worked.

The bright side of it is our kids collected lots of worms who came to the surface of the yard after the deluge of water. It was fun while it lasted, perhaps only just worth what we paid for it on sale.

This was a good price and my kids (and all their friends) enjoy it very much. The only drawback is that you have to make sure the ground is PERFECTLY level or the pool will lean and if the kids lean on that side of the pool and push it down all your water rushes out until you run over there and pop it back up. It does help if you keep the ring inflated real good. Maintaining it is easier than I thought. Good deal overall.

We got this pool in June, set it up on what we thought was level ground.It started to tipping to one side, it got pretty bad so we drained it. Had someone come over and level the ground looked great and we filled it AGAIN! Not 2 days later it was tipping again. This time was horrible. So we drained it and I called the company and explained what was going on. They sent us a new pool because it looked like the pool had a defect to us.

So we got the new one filled it................

My husband said NEVER AGAIN!

Kids love it, we think it's terrible!

My kids LOVE this pool. Not only was it so simple to set up, but the maintenance is unbelievably easy. You can't go wrong with this purchase. We are enjoying this pool every single day!
