1.0 out of 5 stars intex pool
Finally after waiting nearly one month to receive the pool. The pool is a disappointment. We are currently draining the pool to attempt to reset it up. The first time after setup we filled it up only to see the center sides folding inside. Now before it arrived we had the ground leveled so that was not the problem. For such a large pool ( 32' x 16' x 52") it is...

I bought this pool from amazon.com because this was one of the few places you could buy it for cheap and have it sent within a week. [...]. We set up the pool (not listening to the directions) and some of the pool broke. Make sure the ground is level and put wood or cement slabs under the support bars. The pool doesn't take correct rectangle shape until completely full. The salt water system is suppose to be a great new system for the water. I'm very excited to use the pool. My husband and I bought the pool for both our families to use. I'm sure the pool could hold all of us too.

I have had this pool for over a year now. It is the biggest pain to try and clean. We have spent so much money on the filters to try and clean the pool. You have to take a lot of time cleaning the pool because the pool is so big. We are going to try the sand filter next year on the pool. Hopefully that will help.
Other than the cleaning factor we have a ton of fun in the pool with our family. We play volleyball all the time and play with the kids in the pool as well.

I have had this pool for over a month and the salt water system has worked great so far, have not added any chemicals. Large enough for the family.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent pool for large family on a budget, May 10, 2010
By Mother in Texas (Georgetown, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Intex Ultra Frame 32-by-16-Foot-by-52-Inches Rectangular Pool Set (Toy)
The size of this pool is great. It is roomy enough for 4-5 AND 3-4 kids to all enjoy it.

Pros:
Most spacious above ground pool I've seen
Easy to maintain once set
Like have an inground pool at a very small relative price


Cons:
Ground bed HAS to be level. We set it up at first thinking the ground was level enough...WRONG...we had to have several loads of sand brought in and a bobcat to level it, then set it up again...It is a very difficult process to level such a large area since the pool is so large, but well worth it.

Not necessarily a con, but the outside supports HAVE to be placed on solid supports such as wooden planks or cement blocks.

This is not an easy pool to set up, but once it IS set-up, it is fantastic.

We are gearing up for our second season with this pool. It made it through the winter just fine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best above ground pool!, August 15, 2010

This review is from: Intex Ultra Frame 32-by-16-Foot-by-52-Inches Rectangular Pool Set (Toy)
We have had this pool for 3 months and we just LOVE it! It was pretty easy to set up. My son and I had it up and filling within 3 hrs. We did put cement slabs down for help in keeping it level. Our back yard is completely sand and with high winds everyday I vacuum it every other day. It only takes less than an hour and is a fun chore for me. We have never had to add any chemicals to it at all and it's always sparkling clean and the salt water is so soft. The size is so big it easily gives 6 adults room to lounge or swim in. We don't have kids, but I would guess that at least 10 would be able to enjoy this pool at one time. The only thing that would make this pool better is to get a deck built around it. We are going to work on that for next summer!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pool is great / Filter is not so great., July 25, 2010
By anonymous (pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Intex Ultra Frame 32-by-16-Foot-by-52-Inches Rectangular Pool Set (Toy)
This pool is fine. We've had it for about a month. It takes several hours to set up if you have a large one (ours is 16'x32') but it went together easily. The pump however is another story. We love the salt water system but the pump is too weak for what it's supposed to do. Yesterday, my husband changed filters twice - - in one day!! The stupid "low flow" beeper goes on and you have to either rinse the filter or put in a new one. Also, the first pump that was delivered didn't work. Intex sent us another but you have to wait on the phone w/ their customer service for quite a while.

This pool was not delivered on the day that was originally specified so Amazon waived our delivery fee ($[...]+). We appreciated that service and it made us feel ok about the wait.

This is a nice pool and it's pretty easy to maintain . . . it's just the pump that is making us a little crazy.

The first time after setup we filled it up only to see the center sides folding inside. Now before it arrived we had the ground leveled so that was not the problem. For such a large pool ( 32' x 16' x 52") it is rather flimsy and poorly constructed. Would not recommend. Would love to return this pool but not so easy due to the size and box destroyed during extra long transit.

This review is from: Intex Ultra Frame 32-by-16-Foot-by-52-Inches Rectangular Pool Set (Toy)
this pool is 16x32 is a very sad excuse for a pool they sell it on line only so you can't actually see it before you buy it then theres no way you can return it without paying another 500.00 and get it back in the same box.i am very upset with this purchase that i've talked to some people and writing a letter to BBB and the local newspaper and tring to get the tv to come out and do a story on people like me that buy stuff like this pool over the internet to try and save money. very unhappy
