Intex 18 x 4 Foot Inflatable Round Outdoor Above Ground Swimming Pool Set

We bought this product several years ago, and it lasted about three years. Last year, I tried a different brand (not Intex), but the vinyl was thin and the pump broke after only three months. I definitely recommend Intex it's easy to set up, the vinyl is more durable, and it lasts longer. I haven't had any issues with Intex so far.

This is our second Intex pool and we love it! We had our first one for 11 years and finally had to say good-bye to it because the ring wouldn't fill all the way up with air. I think 11 years is a pretty good run though! We set up our new one last week and it's perfect! No leaks, no damage. We purchased it in February 2020 before the prices went up and before they they all sold out so we got lucky. We use a salt water pump, not the one that comes with it but years ago we used the original pump and it worked great, we just like salt water better. It's easier on the swim suits and it's easier to keep PH. We dump 4 bags of salt in at the beginning and we're done for the season, no shock and no more salt. We had little kids when we bought the first one and now they're all teenagers and we all still get in it. We will leave it up until early September and then take it down and store it in our shed until next year. Easy peasy :)
