Easy Set Pool with Filter Pump

Pros: Easy to set up, fair price, comes with a pump.
Cons: No Longevity.

Why we bought this item
My husband and I originally bought this pool last year when I was pregnant so that I would have something to just float around in to kind of take the weight off and we used it at least every other day. It was...

Pros: Comes with pump & filter, ground tarp, cover, steps; Does not need sand underneath
Cons: Did not "rise" properly; Dangerous for young children; Need air pump;

This summer we had decided to graduate from the little kiddie pools to a pool large enough for the family to jump in. Both Michael, 8, and Daniel 5, were taking swimming lessons at the YMCA, and really wanted a pool that looked like a pool ~ not the...

Pros: Temporary pool. Low price. Very quiet filter/pump. Almost a complete kit.
Cons: Almost a complete kit. Ground leveling. Not quite as easy to set up. Chemicals.

I got crazy and decided that I wanted a pool in the back yard for friends and family who visit. Okay, and a little for myself! I wanted something that wasn't permanent so that I wasn't (for better or for worse) affecting the value of my home, and that I ...

Pros: Excellent value! Great fun!
Cons: The importance of the whole "level-ground" thing should be highlighted.

This is my second summer using my 18' X 48" easy set pool. I've had it for four years, but our Los Angeles summers weren't so hot the last couple of years, so I hadn't brought it out. This summer is a scorcher, so it's out. I must say that I am very ...

Pros: strong, durable, complete package, reasonable price
Cons: sell out fast, stores cannot keep them in stock

Last summer, we were frantically looking for a pool for our boys. And Walmarts had this pool on sale for $99.00, and it featured that it came with its own filter, and that you did not have to dig or put sand down.

Now, it says on the box...

Pros: Durable, family sized, has a filter that requires no sand
Cons: None at the present time!

I originally saw this pool a few months ago at a toy store in the mall. My first impression was that of awe, since it was vastly different from the old standard “snap set pools,” “inflatable pools” or even the “hard plastic kiddie pools.”

...

Pros: Value and price, complete in the box
Cons: Inflated top ring

SET UP

Set up of the Intex above ground 15’ X 30” pool proved to be fairly easy as stated on the box. A five-minute set-up is not going to happen though. Plan on spending at least 20 to 30 minutes to properly prepare and set-up this pool....

Pros: buying a pool early
Cons: buying a pool late

Buy a pool early!!
Its a weird time to think of putting on a baithing suit and going swimming and buying a pool. Now is the time to buy one
We bought a pool 3 years ago in the begginning of June. Said it would take 4-6 weeks to instal it. The...

Pros: Big, Affordable, Comes With Filter, Rises as it fills.
Cons: Weak Walls,Setup Not A Easy As They Make Out, Stores Sell Out.

Searching For A Pool
K-Mart advertised the 15' pool for 169.00, and we called, and called and called. We called 9 stores in San Antonio, then we tried Kerville and then New Baunsfels, we called my aunt in Corpus Christi, she called...

Pros: easy to maintain, fun to use, has lasted 3 summers so far
Cons: Not the most durable, but more durable than the blow up pools!

We bought this pool in May 2000. We saw it advertised, but couldn't be sure if it was really a good investment or not. We went ahead and bought it, since we got it for $30 cheaper than the sale price. This year, we put our pool up again, and it is...

Pros: Simple set up. Fairly cheap.
Cons: Kids can't sit on the soft sides. Inflatable ring at top leaked.

My niece bought this pool for her young kids to use, and I had to write and tell you how much we disliked it. The Easy Set Pool was indeed easy to set up, and just a pain all over after that.

The main problem lies in the pool having the soft...

Pros: Easy set up, nice sized pool, has ladder, pump, cover and tarp included.
Cons: Chemicals are expensive!

An above ground pool, priced in the thousands, requiring leveling, sand, and dirtwork, has never been an option for our family. They cost way too much, and look like way too much trouble as well. But hey, who doesn't want a pool to swim in when it's...

Pros: No more trips to the community pool, easy set up and easy care
Cons: None!

Two summers ago I got tired of taking the kids to the community pool (which was 25 miles away!) and paying for a yearly pass. We purchased the 12 foot easy set pool after seeing this "funny" looking pool in a neighbors driveway. There are not dozens in...

Pros: Easy set-up, large enough for several kids to play in, has filter pump
Cons: Hard to secure filter pump, cover not too useful, soft sides.

We purchased our 12' Easy Set Pool two summers ago, and this is our second full summer of use. So far, so good..no leaks or major problems! Our 5 year old and her friends in the neighborhood have a great time in it. It is large enough to fit 4 or 5...

Pros: attractive, easy set-up, resilient and sturdy walls, no rust features
Cons: kills your beautiful grass, some puddles on the mat

Until I found this pool--I vowed never to buy an above ground pool. Heard too many horror stories-not with this one. First of all, most above ground pools require sand and too much prep time for what you get out of it. One wrong move and you are...
