This review is from: 18' x 48" Intex Easy Set Pool Package (Toy)

We have had three of these INTEX Easy Set Up pools in the past five years. For safety reasons we decided to start with the small one and just last year our son was tall enough to move on to this great big wonder of a pool. We love it!!! It is true that it is not easy to set up but a nice BBQ and some pina coladas will surely bring in the help needed. All you really need is a little air pump to start the set up. It is heavy and it will not fill in a couple of hours so forget that; but after it is laid out you are all set...the pool appears the next morning, like magic! there are no complicated floor plans, no weird poles and there is just no way you can get it wrong. BUT, remember that you want to put the hoses away from the normal walking traffic path...it can be a serious safety issue with kids tripping or you might just mow the cord down while doing the grass. Keep this in mind if you decide to skip the set up video; most men don't "need to watch the video", HaHaHa! This pool is a really great investment. If you have a small yard, it is a keeper. You take the water out in the fall, leave it in place covered by a tarp and set up the trampoline right over it for fall fun. It is worth the heavy lifting and every penny.... your
kids will love it! Invest in a REAL filter if you decide to buy
a small one...the large ones come with a good filter but the small ones come with a joke of a filter, spare yourself hours of
cleaning by buying a good filter. Your time in the pool is better spent playing than cleaning, YUK! We loved this pool so much we have had three ... Each one a little bigger than the last; wonder if they'll come out with a six foot one>>> YIKES!

This review is from: 18' x 48" Intex Easy Set Pool Package (Toy)

Calling it an "inflatable" pool undermines the actual product.

Very strong construction and the pump is impressive as well. Intex stresses placing the pool on a LEVEL surface and that can't be stressed enough. That's where you'll spend most of your set up time. Things went quickly after that. A compressor is best to inflate unless you want to pump for a while. Spread the bottom out while putting top ring and sides walls into the center. There was very little adjusting of the floor while filling by doing this. Screw on a couple of connectors manually and fill! It took about 12 hours with good water pressure to fill to 5600 gallons.

The vacuum included doesn't work well for fine "silt" dirt,(seeped out of the cheesecloth collection bag).

Pump maintanence is super easy. 5-10 minutes depending on how dirty!

This pool is well worth the money. Invest in a better vacuum if you are in a windy/dusty region.

This review is from: 18' x 48" Intex Easy Set Pool Package (Toy)

I just read through the other reviews on this pool. It seems as if some ran into troubles setting this thing up?? I am a 30yr male and set this pool up by my self in less than 30 minutes. Now that does not include filling with water, which took around 14 hours. The top ring inflated in about 5 minutes using my large air compressor and a blow gun attachment. I have a few wrinkles in the bottom, but my pool is still a near perfect circle. The only thing I did not do was make sure the ground was perfectly level. It looked close enough so I went ahead with the set up.. The pool has been setup for about 3 weeks now, I have topped of the air in the ring just once, but I would recommend that you check this about once a week or so. I lost about 25% of the water in the pool this morning as my chosen site is not perfectly level. The air pressure in the ring had fallen a bit and the water pushed the ring down on the low side, causing a rush of water to flow over the side. The ring lost air pressure the same way a childs large ... bouncy ball does when left in the direct sunlight everyday, not due to any holes in the ring. Now this was my fault for not trying to level the surface before setup.

This product is well built, easy to setup and will provide fun for the whole family for many more years to come. I will get the tiller out and level the site next spring before setup. You could really see how unlevel my site was after the pool was filled with water! The unlevel site actually worked out better for my 3yr old son as I was unable to fill the pool properly. He was able to stand and keep his head above water as I was only able to fill with 37in of water due to unlevel surface. This provided an adequate water level to run the filter as well.

Note from another review that they had rinsed out soiled filters and reused them a second time. I will try that as well with the next filter change. The filters are [money] a pop changed every 2 weeks or less, that adds up over a swimming season.

I am very happy overall with this pool purchase.
