Bestway Power Steel Swim Vista Series II 14' x 8' 2" x 39.5" Above Ground Outdoor Swimming Pool Set with 530 GPH Filter Pump, Ladder, and Pool Cover

We purchased this in 2021 and now the end of 2023 are looking at a replacement with a similar product.We have gotten a lot if use of this pool and really didn't expect it to hold up as well for all this time. We did purchase during a high demand season so I think price point was higher that usual.Some things to note. Prep work must be done I think the amount of water going in can't really skip this step. We placed this on a spot that was level and had brick pavers, we added gym pads in addition and given comparison to other installations this is well worth doing.Set up will not be as easy as noted, my husband builds things for a living and this was still a couple hours. Important to note prep everything and double check all items have arrived. while we had no issue with missing parts, this isn't the project you want to discover half way thru that items have not arrived.This item, as every other pool I don't think is all encompassing, be prepared to have to buy more stuff, a lot more if you want easy upkeep. The pump lasted a good couple months - but it is lacking from the start. We replaced it with a robust unit - the kind that you can rinse off the filter and costs just as much as this pool. That was the game changer the pool now stays so clear. So if you're having issues with clarity and chemical levels I say this is the biggest factor. Also installing a skimmer basket to keep stuff out of the filter was well worth the $20 investment ( snag some filter socks too ). Also we purchased a rechargeable pool vacuum for the silt and thin dust that we get from sand storms in the desert, we went thru two units before finding one that worked well. About of couple months ago I did need to place the hoses due to leaking.Lastly there will be rust, we have a couple times overfilled the pool or had a lot of splash. We always remove the ladder when not in use ( for safety since we limit access to our deck which is alarmed ) a supporting pillar is now completely rusted, the pool is still functional but just note this will happen eventually.The cover is trash and replacement units are not better so given our desert location we uncovered our pool and ran it all year long. During winter we keep the chlorine levels high and never had any issues - I am sure to may play a part in breaking down the liner/plastic.So given all of that I think the purchase is well worth it. We did plenty of prep work before hand and went thru some pains to find what worked for us. This does give a good starting point for a pool but without additional products/purchases I don't think alone this will last many seasons.

Great pool. Easy setup. No missing parts

Overall this little pool is great! We took the time to level and pack the ground it sits on. That was a bit of work but well worth it. We also put weed barrier on the ground and a Gorilla cloth over that. Works like a dream, pool bottom is level, wrinkle free and well protected. The easiest part was putting it together, very easy to do even with really bad instructions! In the end it is common sense and looking at the picture on the box to check yourself. It is pretty well constructed and the liner was a lot more sturdy than I expected. The pump it comes with is just not enough! We invested in a sand pump that pumps 850 gallons an hour and the pool is much cleaner. We bought that pump on here it was an Amazon pick and for the price being under $120 I highly suggest you invest in a bigger pump If you purchase this pool. I am fairly short at 5'2" the pool is made more for kids but works well for this little adult! I purchased it so I could get in pool exercise without going to a public facility. I can swim, and get a pretty good workout in this little guy! I love it. Overall it was well worth the price.

We live in a city and our property does not have a big backyard at all. This is our second summer enjoying this pool. Instructions for the pool were a little complicated so I just youtube it and between two ppl it was a manageable. It just takes a little bit of patience and time. The material is sturdy. The bars don’t seem to be super strong but they are I mean it’s an above ground pool it can only handle so much. It should last a long time unless you rock the bars back and forth and tug at them.This pool has been a little of a learning curve but overall it’s been such a great investment for us . I laid the pavers myself in the backyard to start off so it not perfect (lol)By no means is my pool perfectly leveled but it’s very sturdy. I didn’t empty it last winter and it was fine. I definitely recommend as it fills with water to straighten the legs and make sure it’s nice and stretched out, i made the mistake of not checking constantly and after a certain point the water gets too heavy so you can’t adjust it anymore leaving me with a decent size fold in the pool . It doesn’t seem to affect the pool it’s just a little annoying luckily it’s off to the side but it’s a FYI- so it doesn’t happen to you. ***I do recommend upgrading the filter since the cartridge filters add up quickly in cost and I don’t think they clean as well as the sand filter.*** The latter that comes with it works fine but itsssss okaaaayyyyWe do hope to upgrade to a better latter, add some pool lights and continue making the best of it. If this pool gives us another year or two we would be extremely happy and if we are still living in this house we would probably purchase another same model. Ok hope that helps anyone in doubt.

Sadly no instructions were in my pool package...and the website didnt give instructions for my style pool...I had to wing and cuss and prayer...and it's toll looks funny

I love this pool. We bought it in 2022. It’s still in great condition. However, we did have to get a stronger pool pump, because the one it comes with isn’t powerful enough. Still, 10/10 recommend

I have to say, I had a rough experience, but the seller responded and did all they could to make it right. The shipping service should do better. Thank you to seller for your help.
