5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT POOL, EASY TO ASSEMBLE & MAINTAIN, June 27, 2008

This review is from: Intex 15-Foot-by-48-Inch Round Metal Frame Complete Pool Kit (Toy)

Assembly only took about an hour with a bunch of kids running around and rushing me. I didnt even have to watch the dvd that came with it to figure it out. I'm female & 4' 11". Got it filled with 2 garden hoses in about 8 hours. I did put carpet under it just in case there were small pebbles I might have missed. I put it on concrete instead of grass and the ground is slightly unlevel, but pool is holding up fine. After a few days of pool use and hardly any chemicals since I was still waiting for them to be delivered, the water got a little cloudy. As soon as I received my checmicals kit, I shocked it with 2/3 cup of chlorine and added PH minus to bring it to the right level. After just 5 hours, the pool now looks nice & clean again except for the leaves that fell to the bottom which I will vacuum with my automatic pool cleaner. The vacuum given with the pool is really cheap and hard to use for me since I am petite, so I bought an automatic cleaner which is $[...] at "[...]", but it's going to save me a lot of time and aggravation. The ladder is narrow and is also a bit shaky, but it does hold up just fine also. This is the 1st time I've ever left a review, but I thought it was neccessary since there are a lot of people who complain that it is hard to setup and keep up. I am the laziest person in the world and I've managed to keep it up. That's just how easy it is. Hope this review helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun with simplicity!, June 15, 2008

This review is from: Intex 15-Foot-by-48-Inch Round Metal Frame Complete Pool Kit (Toy)

This pool is so easy to set up. It took only about one hour. The filling does take a while however. we were able to fill it over the span of two days using one hose. It took about 8-9 hours to fill. All of the differnet aspects set up easily. The only thing that could be better is the latter. They say it holds up to 300 pounds and i weigh 120 and it seems a little shakey, even to me. the slighest differnece in ground by the ladder couses this. And the ladder iteslf is not very wide. "Bigger" people may have difficulty getting in so i would recommend buying a ladder sperately. They also say that the ground should be COMPLETELY level but a little difference is OK.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Pool, Easy Set-Up, A Few Minor Issues..., July 24, 2009

This review is from: Intex 15-Foot-by-48-Inch Round Metal Frame Complete Pool Kit (Toy)

I spent a long time researching an above ground pool. I finally decided on this one for the price and positive reviews. I have a large flat cement pad so I wasn't worried about the leveling issue that others have mentioned. Even so, I've noticed that the water level does slightly favor one side of the pool.

When filling the pool, I suggest you take time to get inside and smooth out every wrinkle from the bottom. I made the mistake of just pulling the excess from outside. Now I have all kinds of creases under foot. Also, I very carefully cleaned off the cement pad before installation and still, there is a small rock under the pool that I'm afraid will puncture the bottom any day now. My advice is to check every square inch of the bottom when you start to fill the pool.

The accessories are a little cheap. The pump works well but the skimmer is flimsy and moves from it's position too easily. The vacuum is also cheap and is too small for a pool this large. The ladder is definitely shaky. It will hold you but your wet hands can easily slip on the hand-rails; especially when you panic because the ladder is rocking from side to side. Lastly, it is impossible for one person to put the pool cover on. Once it's on, the cover is also not secure enough. The slightest breeze will have you fishing for the it at the bottom.

Overall, the complaints are minor and if you take time in the set-up, you will love this pool.
