INTEX Metal Frame 10ft x 30in Above Ground Swimming Pool Set w/ Filter Pump

I do not normally do reviews but I researched for a couple of weeks and want to help others who are looking for a great pool. I have 4 kids 11,9,7,&2 and my oldest is about 5ft and this pool is big enough for all of them to swim n have fun. Now obviously it is just to get in and cool off but we have had it for over a week and they have been in it everyday for at least 3 hours a day. It was very easy to set up my 11 year old son & I were able to put it up in about 30 minutes n it took about 5 hours to fill. We have a small patio and it fits perfect and still room for a couple chairs to sit in and watch them swim. I am extremely happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone who wants to get their kids outside and off electronics for the summer. Just a side note my husband was very skeptical of this pool n after we had it set up n going he was very impressed.

I purchased this pool as a means of exercise and to cool off after mowing the lawn. The assembly was not difficult but would have been much easier, of course, with a second pair of hands. But it's not that difficult at all to put together by yourself - it just takes a little patience. Take your time, follow the directions exactly as instructed, and you will be pleasantly surprised how relatively easy it all comes together. I'm a petite 61 year old woman and managed the assembly without much difficulty at all. I would say that the most important part of the assembly is to make certain you smooth out the liner to get the wrinkles out before filling, and to give the poles one final check to make sure they are as straight as possible before filling. I walked around the pool as it was filling making adjustments here and there to the poles to make certain they remain straight all the way around. You also want the liner to have even spacing around the top rails. This will all make sense once you begin the assembly process. There is a video included in the packing as well so no worries. I clean the filter every two days using the hose nozzle and reuse and keep two small chlorine tabs in the floater. To save a little money, you can make your own skimmer to keep the particles and small debris out by covering an old tennis racket with a pair of panty hose cut to slip over the racket. Just slip it over the racket, twist it around the back to tighten and tie in a knot. Ha! :-) Works GREAT and removes teeny tiny particles as well!! The pool is roomy enough for a couple of floating chairs if you just want to relax. I'm using mine primarily for exercising using water resistance and it's perfect for that!! This is a nice little pool which is surprisingly roomier than expected and we are truly getting a lot of enjoyment out of it.
