Coleman Power Steel 22 ft. x 52 in. Round Metal Frame Above Ground Pool Set

This makes the 5th above ground pool I have owned in the last 20 years. This one is as good as any others. The canopy on the top kept flapping down into the pool during 20ish mph winds. Once its down its hard to lift back up because of all the water that gets on the top of it. I took it off after 2 days. Word of advice for anyone living in a hot climate like the florida panhandle is to provide 50% of the pool with shade and get a larger filter. I got the intex 2500 pump/filter and the hose adapters for $140. Dont skimp on chlorine on ANY above ground pool unless you want algae. The pools typically get hotter than in ground pools and chlorine does not work as well in hotter water. Not only does the water temp matter but the sunlight destroys the chlorine fast as well. Get a pool water test kit unless you want to fail. Test water and clean filter daily until you get the flow of things. If you do get algae act immediately. I have had it stain the white in the liners if it goes to long. Dont use bleach in the place of chlorine. Will it work? kinda... You end up spending more because it doesn't work as well. For this pool I use one 3" chlorine tab at all times in a floater. I put a new one in about every 4 days when the previous tab is about half size. I shock the pool once a week with 1/3 of a 1lb shock bag. I use liquid chlorine to increase chlorine when testing water every other day if its low. All of this advice if based upon weather. For those of yall in cooler states you wont need shade, extra filtration, high chlorine.

Great pool! Easy to set up. When I say easy, I don’t mean preparing the surface/ground. That part took time but the actual pool frame and liner and pump was super simple. The pumps is very underpowered. Even with correct water chemical levels and everything in the correct parameters, the water stayed cloudy. We upgraded to a sand filter pump and it is so much better. The pump that the pool comes with is about 1500 gph, and I was having to change the filter cartridge every other day. It just doesn’t have the power to circulate the water or the filtration capacity to filter that much water. And the pump also has an automatic shut off after 10 hours. That was also irritating especially since the filter/pump wasn’t strong enough to begin with. The sand filter we replaced it with is 3500gph and does a wonderful job. The actual pool gets 5 stars but the pump gets 3 stars. So I made this a 4 star review. To explain my photos- the picture with cloudy water is the water before the new pump. After a day of the new pump, the water is crystal clear.
