I purchased this pool. This will be the second one. We cannot wait to install it, easy to install the pump functions really well it’s got a quality build. It’s very sturdy. We bought this size to float and enjoy the summer sun. It’s 30 inches deep. it’s a very good quality Functions very well, I actually bought the pool mat to go underneath it and we plan to leave it up here around this year. We are going to build a permanent deck around it. I can’t wait to float this summer, my husband and I are teachers, and we look forward to relaxing at home this summer. , This is for us as adults the kids try to also use it, but we are normally in it most the time, it has a very good quality of material and the money value because I’m not having to take the kids places to swim This is for kids and adults. The pool material is very thick and durable.

This is a great size fun pool for the whole family adults and kids, we have a bunch of fun in it. It's easy to assemble just make sure it's leveled, the only problem is the pump. It's not a great pump for the size pool you need a better more powerful pump. The circulation in the pool was bad and continued to cause an algae problem as soon as you upgrade the pump the circulations excellent and the pool is wonderful. It's a great pool and a great size for the money, the pump is just not sufficient for the size pool to cause good circulation, I recommend upgrading to a sand pump for best circulation. But pool size and quality was great we love this on pool!

I have to agree with all the other comments, this is overall a great pool! Easy set up, perfect size especially for small backyards. My one complaint is the pump size. You can tell it is too small for the size of the pool because of the sounds it makes. I’m going to upgrade to a larger pump and hope for a cleaner pool.

SETUP: I set this pool up by myself and it took me 2 hours. If you have help, 2 people can get this done in 30min for sure. Instructions were easy and no actual tools were needed. The liner seams to be good quality, it’s thick. FILLING UP: A standard garden hose filled this 12x30 pool in 4 hours. No leakage anywhere so that’s good. FILTER: The pool included a small filter pump that’s 330gph but I purchased a bigger filter pump that’s 1000gph. Is it overkill? Not sure but I know my pool will stay clean. OVERALL: I recommend this pool for the summer and could honestly last year round in Florida. It’s bigger than I thought it was and it’s perfect. It will definitely keep our family cool during these hot days. If you’re thinking about, just get it. You won’t regret it.

I have set up at least 4 or 5 pools between this size and larger and know the entire set up process. This item had a leak discovered after filling on the bottom near the water drain valve but draining the pool is just not an option with this size hole so if it does not self drain before the return window ends its not really worth replacment after losing the cost of water. Also after 1st and only swim session of about 1 hour the inner liner at the base of the pool is rolling up so I have to assume this pool wont stand the test of time but might make it a single season and although price is reasonable it's a lemon after you adjust for the cost of maintenance. The included pump is embarrassing but I have pumps from prior pools so i let it go however if your purchasing for the first time Id advise upgrading the pump as it is tiny and will need daily manual cleaning if you want your water to keep clean. Recieving a quality pool seems to be random and not brand related as I have had similar issues with intex brand as well. I've also had great pools from both name and off brands but this is my first bestway experience and it is not a good one. Amazon customer service did attempt to remedy so I appreciate that but I likely will not break even on this pool as I do not see it making it a full swim season much less a year or two. It is 50/50 IMO whether or not you will get a quality pool.

Bought last summer and used it. Was great and fun to use! The pump and fikter it has are horrible, buy a different one! Had some family friends come over as we bbq'd, and afterwards my pool was full of sunscreen, pretty gross. I left the pump running for 2 days and 2 nights, DID NOTHING! Pool overall was great. Not "deep" for adults, but good for kids/family. Definitely deep for kids! They'll need help getting in and out so please keep an eye on them! Some water leakage through the filter pump hoses, turned green and grimey after a week. Not inside the pool though. BUY A POOL COVER!! Its easier to install if there's 2 people working on it. Was difficult for just me, I had my wife hell me out and it was a lot more manageable.

The kids had a great time. Don't have it up long though here in Northern Minnesota. I was surprised that it didn't take long to fill or drain using a garden hose. Cost to fill was negligible. I think we will keep the water in next winter and see how that works. I was able to get some good PT in for my bad knee so that was another use for the pool.
