This is a great pool. Comes with everything you need. Assembly is quick, but make sure the ground area is level. Handles my teenage kids and family adults as well. Easy to take down for the winter.
This metal pole pool is better if you want deeper water than the blow up ring style. Fills to about 46" compared to 42" with the blow up ring style pool and seems a little more durable.

I was very skeptical when I first received the box that it would only take 1 hour to complete. However I must say that it was surprisingly easy to set up. It took my 60 yr old father in law and myself a 38 yr old male with a little help from my wife and 7 yr old son about 1:15 minutes to have the pool standing. The pool is wonderful and we have enjoyed tremendously.

One word of warning the pool requires quite a bit of maintenance in the matter of cleaning and keeping with the filter. Although the tape advises you to run the filter for 5-6 hours you are better off running it 10-12 hours. It is also advisable to buy at least one more filter to change on weekly basis.

This pool is as large as a regular size pool. Of course it will need a lot of maintenece because it is so large. Its just like having a above ground pool. Of course it needs to be level, but you really dont need sand. We used the rotertiller to soften up the ground and let it settle a bit first. Price wise yes, Walmart is cheaper but you have to order online and pay shipping. I beleive Meijer's has it cheaper in there stores(no Shiping costs then!) (both Walmart And Meijer include pool sprayer and vollyball set) It's big enough for pool parties, and family swims. Anything this large will take some time to assemble, if you want it to be right! Enjoy a bunch of summer fun. P.S. this is my 2cnd intex pool we went up in size because we were so satisfied!!!! Highly recommended!!!!

This is a fantastic pool for the money. The best deal yet! We are really enjoying it. It came with everything! We bought ours at Walmart, cheap. You can't go wrong. Easy set up. Just took a while to fill, but this thing is huge!!!

this pool is very deep.you have to level it or all the water will spill out.it is a great way to teach children how to swim.the filter should be washed almost everyday.the filter is kind of slow but its manageable.

We purchased this pool last summer. It was extremely easy to set up and take down. The filter could be a little stronger but it was manageable. I ran the filter continuously because I have large trees overhead. The filter cartridge was easily cleaned with just a garden hose. It was great summer fun for my 8 year old and for grownups. We got tons of enjoyment out of it. Well worth the money!!

Before purchasing this pool I searched online and read all the reviews I could. I don't want to repeat what everyone else says but the pool does need to be level. After putting the pool up, (which is extremely easy) and starting to fill with water I noticed I had ten inches of water on one end and about a foot and half on the other. Like most of the other people I didn't listen. After taking the pool down and moving it then renting a bobcat to level the yard I was now able to reset the pool and fill with water. The only problem I have now is the filter and pump, it seems way to small for the pool. It does not clean at all. So I went to pinch a penny, purchased a pump and filter for about $350.00. Now with the price of the pool, bobcat rental, new pump and filter, I have about $1,000.00 invested in what I thought would be a pool my kids that would cost me less than $500.00. As some one else said, live and learn. All in all, the kids enjoy it, and that is all that matters.

Last season we purchased a self filling Intex pool. It was defective and the company said "sorry you warranty is up". So we thought we would try a metal frame Intex pool. We got it up filled it with 6700 gallons of water and found it had a seam leak. We drained it, returned it and got another thinking this can't happen again. Well guess what another seam leak. We were smart this time and only filled it up with ten inches of water. Save yourself some stress, time and the need to repair your yard. DON'T GET THESE POOLS!!!

We started off with a knock off to the Intex ring pool from Sams that busted within 24 hours (lucky for us we got our money back) We bought the Intex Metal Frame pool and love it! Have had just 1 slight problem but the factory is getting us taken care of (the hose leaks that attaches to the filter)Trying to level the ground was the hardest part. Once that was done, putting it up was a breeze. I highly recommend this pool! The only problem now is that it is almost the end of the season and we can't find the filters for it. If you buy this pool, make sure to buy plenty of filters ahead of time!<br />

Great product! Went up quickly and easily, as advertised. BUT - be sure to do a google search for "level ground easy set pool" BEFORE you assemble it. You'll find lots of time-saving methods for leveling your ground so you won't end up disassembling and re-assembling the pool like we did. Also - if you have a dog that goes crazy when people are in the pool, I would highly recommend putting the dog away or NOT getting one of these pools (or trick your dog with Invisible Fence flags like we did). Although it's heavy-gauge, the pool wall IS actually the liner and I'm not sure how much repetitive nail-scratching it could handle.

I think this pool is an incredible value for anyone who doesn't mind the yearly assembly/disassembly. This is our first season with it, but even if it only lasts one year, it was more economical than a "regular" 18' round that would have cost a few thousand to buy and have assembled.
