Not Happy
on July 22, 2025
Posted by: Daisy Di

I bought this pool a few weeks ago. When we received the pool both ends of boxes were opened and parts falling out. No book was enclosed with a listing of the parts enclosed Or instructions how to put it together. Legs don’t seem too sturdy to hold the pool. We figured out how to put it together and Then we put the cover on and it is too small for the size of the pool. We were excited waiting and then disappointed. Not happy at all. Probably won’t recommend to others.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not a bad pool, easy to put up, just don't hold up

I bought this pool two years ago. Pump is junk so you will have to spend money buying a good one. Liner is good, no problem with it. The frame has lasted two years and is now all rusted out, I don't mean little rust, I mean half the horizontal bars are ate through with rust. I was going to replace them but they cost as much as a new pool by the time your done. If you just want one for a couple years, you're good. If you want it to last longer, then good luck.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Do not do it! Save yourself a huge headache! Junk!

We have the 13’ version. The pump is worthless and doesn’t clean the water at all. Bought the Bestway vacuum kit and it was completely worthless. It is very hard to keep the pool clean due to its lack of skimmer and total lack of suction on the pump. Save your money and a huge headache.
There are no returns once you open the box! Almost like they know it’s junk. Would give it zero stars if I could.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Flimsy liner
on June 21, 2024
Posted by: Rauk
Lasted a year. Was very careful with set up storage and maintenance but the liner ripped and flooded the yard. For all they taut being such a durable liner, normal wear tore it in very little time. Seems maybe the pole design leaves too many exposed edges.

Poor quality

This above ground pool filter is too weak. I professionally hired a reputable pool specialist. He stated the filer which came with the purchase is too weak to manage the volume of water. We have to clean or replace the filter every week. The material at the bottom is weak and is indicating water leakage.
