Blue Wave NB19833 Affinity 18-ft Round 52-in Deep 7-in Top Rail Resin Package Above Ground Swimming Pool, x, Gray

Great pool and easy to put together. Watch a lot of YouTube videos before you start setup if you are doing yourself. For a 30ft pool we decided to have someone come level the ground for us to get us started. After that my wife and I did most of the work and my two brothers also helped in between (especially for the wall). Was fairly easy to put together. I do recommend trying to start early and getting it done within a day. If you must span multiple days, get yourself something to stake the wall in place in case of wind. Even the slightest wind has potential of collapsing the wall of an empty pool. Get the top rail and uprights in place quick to help keep stable.Love the dark colors of the wall and uprights which goes nicely against lawn and trees. The product was exactly as described and I appreciated the resin parts for the uprights and top rail. This will help against rusting and corrosion of the parts which I've had in the past and seen happen often on previous pools. This also will work out nicely for salt water chlorinated pools (or in our case we would switch to this in the future). Some may see this as a negative, but longevity of the pool would hopefully be greater in this case. Should be no surprise as the pool is purposely made with these materials and described on the product page.Before starting, make sure to get yourself wall foam (don't forget adhesive) and a decent liner pad for the floor. Adds a softer touch and will help protect the liner from early damage. Also a foam cove will be nice to use instead of packed earth or sand at the edges.Can't comment on the price much, pools are way overpriced right now during the pandemic and it was difficult for us to even find a pool. Given the market, I say the pool was priced fairly and was actually cheaper here on Amazon by a lot compared to other vendors online.Pump is ok, fairly quiet but only when properly primed, air doesn't seem to go away as fast as other pumps out there.Filter in the package does it's job. Water stays clear so that's what matters. All fittings have been leak free so far.The wall of course is heavy, so grab some friends to help you stand up the wall and unravel! Seems sturdy and won't bend easily.Ladder is not exactly solid, a little flimsy.I much prefer to buy the pool seperately from the pump and filter, but given the pandemic my options were very limited.Lastly, directions are not exactly easy, skipped steps and not many clear diagrams. This is why I strongly suggest watching videos and reading generic lol setup directions online. They're pretty much all similar so they all help.

That remember just because you order a pool you still have to have somebody to put it up. The putting up part was not cheap on this and I live in a little hick town judsonia Arkansas. It cost me $1500 to have the pool put up about broke me.

The price of the 15’ round pool, which we bought, was inexplicably thousands of dollarsmore than the than the larger 18’ round. Amazon customer service would not address the pricing issue except to return it….. but the pool was already installed.BE CAREFUl of pricing if you buy this pool. Also it is very difficult to assemble even with handy people.

The media could not be loaded.  The pool itself is great, love the look. For the price though would have liked a heavier liner but, this one should last a while.The hardware and hoses to the pump/filter system are very cheap and the clamps are to big. As you can see in the video they leak. Every single one leaked.Luckily my guy is extremely handy and has extra items here. He used smaller clamps which did help.Once we got that all taken care of the system seems to work well and great suction with the skimmer. Very happy with that.Still a very slow leak on one fitting but, one we can live with for now.This definitely takes more than two people to assemble and DO NOT attempt to try if there is any wind!

Sheeeeessh. So everything is plastic besides the steel wall. The side rails offer no stability what so ever. Purely decorative. Instructions are bare minimal and this at least a 4 person job. It really should come with a professional installer at this price. The color is way off from the picture. It is actually silver/light grey color. This offers a scheduled delivery, ya that doesn’t mean anything. It came a week late and not in the time frame it was scheduled for. We had to push things back and because of that I couldn’t get to installing it until 3 weeks after it came. Guess what, return is up by the time I saw the color, the plastic and the lack of what I thought would be quality. The 3600$ for this is outrageous and now I have a tacky looking pool looking like something I could of slapped together for around 1000$ Disappointed is an understatement
