INTEX 28211EH Metal Frame Above Ground Swimming Pool Set: 12ft x 30in – Includes 530 GPH Cartridge Filter Pump – Puncture-Resistant Material – Rust Resistant – 1718 Gallon Capacity

I got this for summer fun. It is great. It helps to have some help during setup. Pump works great. Although, not being familiar with pumps, I thought it stopped working. This was not the case. You just have to make sure there is little to no air in the lines. I really like the timer functionality. The pool has been emptied and moved around a few times. it has held up thought a Texas summer with no problems.

I set it up on the edge of my uncovered patio about a foot away from the grass to protect from the lawn mower. Easy to set up. I should have done a better job of making the bottom flat. I added the chairs just to help protect. The quality is very good. My 7 and 5 year old kick off the sidewalks and it does not rip. Sometimes they jump from the white poles and it holds up fine. I wouldn’t allow any heavier kids to do that. The foot of space from the grass was enough to set the pump and hoses down. I bought the intex cover, net, and vacuum hose attachment. The cover doesn’t work as well as I’d hoped as it is not tight. It sags when it gets hot, too. The net and vacuum are a must. The pump runs once a day at the same time you originally turned it on. Only needs 4 hours a day. Very quiet. My 7 and 5 year old don’t need a ladder but it would be nice. I fill it to 24 inches at the “deep end” as my patio slopes down away from the house. You don’t want the birds to be able to sit at the edge and dip their beaks. I do a deep clean once a week where I add a new tablet, use the vacuum attachment, clean the filter with a hose. Takes an hour. The pool has given new purpose to my back yard. It doesn’t matter how hot it is outside. They can go outside and jump in. Pool with pump, net, vacuum, cover, and tablets and I’m under $300. I will have to eventually buy more tablets and I’m considering getting the 1000 gph pump with skimmer but this thing is so low maintenance I’d be doing more out of intrigue. Plus the skimmer hangs on the edge and takes pool space away. We’ll see. Fun easy little project, kids love it, 4 adults fit easy, low maintenance.

Waited until the end of summer to post this review and have to say I'm thoroughly impressed! I was nervous after reading some reviews about tearing and ripping, but this pool held up with no issues. My husband and son had WWE matches in it multiple times and never once had an issue with the liner. Had 4-5 kids in it making whirlpools that got going pretty fast and the pool withstood that also. The only thing I will be replacing is the pump it's small, and I think a bigger one would do better. But even the filter did it's job! Easy to set up and take down to store for next year!

The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because I was somewhat disappointed at how short 30" really is. The photos are a little deceiving in that a grown man cannot stand up in this pool and have the water come to his hips. I'm 6' tall and the water doesn't even come up to my hips. I have small kids and this is mainly for them so its not a big deal, just something to be aware of. You can't really swim in this pool due to the shallow depth. I think of it more like a large hot tub with cold water. Its a nice option to have in a small back yard, we put ours on pavers with some outdoor carpet underneath. The frame is easy to assemble and seems well made. The liner seems good and sturdy. The filter pump that comes with this pool seems a little underpowered to me, but I upgraded that to a saltwater kit anyway which was also more powerful. Overall its a great kit, easy to setup, a nice option for a small yard and the price on Amazon is very good! It shipped fast and I can't really find much to complain about. A few observations or tips for others who might get this pool. First, make sure you absolutely triple check for rocks or other intrusive objects where you plan to put the pool. We double checked and swept and still managed to end up with two small rocks that ended up under the liner. They aren't sharp fortunately and won't damage the liner, but I sure wish we had checked a third time! Second, try to get the ground as level as possible. In my small yard it wasn't possible to put the pool on a totally level area, so there is a bit of an issue because we put the shallower end near where the water return hose connects, so the water level doesn't cover it as much as I would like. This made it difficult to leave the hoses just sitting there, since the weight of the water in the hoses makes the angle of the water return shoot upwards towards the surface. So if you are going to end up unlevel, make sure you put your hose ports on the deep end not the shallow end. The angle on my pool isn't drastic, but its just enough to create an inch or two difference between the two opposing sides of the pool. Also one last thing, when you start filling the pool, once you have an inch or less of water in the bottom, you should get someone inside the pool and iron out wrinkles. If you don't, you will end up like my pool and have creases all along the bottom of the pool. It would be better to stretch out the liner as much as you can. I did pull it out at the edges, but then I just let the water fill it and walked away. It isn't a functional problem, just something to be aware of.

Love this pool for the price it was a steal!!

I bought this for my kids who are 7, 8 and 15. It was a perfect size to fit us all. The water is only 2 - 2 and a half feet high. But it was perfect for when my 3 and 5 year old nieces came over. It was pretty easy to put together by myself but 2 people would probably be easier. The water filter works really well but I would recommend buying extra replacement filters and hosing the current one down every week.

Thanks Amazon its a great pool

Got it on Time but once up it leeks ans emptys
