Bestway Power Steel 18' x 9' x 48" Oval Metal Frame Above Ground Outdoor Swimming Pool Set with 1500 GPH Filter Pump, Ladder, and Pool Cover

This is a perfect pool for my family! I didn't write a review right away because I wanted to see how it would hold up! NO LEAKS! No trouble putting it together. I LOVE IT! ❤ So does my family. I'm purchasing color changing lights from Amazon to put up over the pool. I just received my solar color changing lights today. Can't wait to see how it looks together. Want to put plants 🪴 around the pool. We're just starting to redo the yard. Photo of pool after rain storm so it's a little leafy. More pictures when complete! The Raccons keep climbing the ladder to drink from pool haven't caught them yet. Just their little sandy foot prints left behind!Pool filter is a piece of garbage! It quite working. My husband took it apart. it actually has a little aquarium propeller in it. This is good for a 20 gallon aquarium but not a pool filter! I'm not happy I gave to search for a new filter at the end of the season. My husband can fix anything. Fingers crossed! But it sounds like I have to find a new filter. Anyone purchasing this pool save yourself the heartache 💔 & buy a good filter. It took us 3 to 4 hrs. To put the pool together. Be prepared! I agree with other reviews, I don't like the latter. It needs some work. My husband is afraid I'm going to bust my head open on the concrete. It's just not stable! I love ❤ my pool but these 2 things need work. I wish bestway would send me a new filter!

We bought this pool in spring of 2023 so this is our 3rd year of use. We LOVE this pool!! The set-up was easy, the frame is sturdy (as long as you follow the recommendation to NOT climb or hang on it) and although we did upgrade the filter to a larger sand filter, the filter it came with works alright if you keep up with changing the internal A/C filter piece. We use our pool almost daily and even with the 3 rowdy teens/young adults we have, it has held up quite nicely!! I very highly recommend this pool and would absolutely buy it again...or, maybe when I can swing it, an even bigger one ❤

So here are many of the same things others have written and also some of my own experience of building it:- Overall, the pool looks great and will be a lot of fun for the summer.- I like that it comes with a timer for the filter.- The latter is fine.- We filled it with our hose. Took about 9-10 hours total- Once you get the hang of the building, it's easy.However, there are many things to know so be aware:- The directions are horrible. Mislabeling everywhere, which was confusing. We had to figure it out ourselves and it was a team of three adults.- It does not take 30 mins from opening the box to finish. More like 1 1/2-2 hours so plan for that.- Make sure you have it leveled with sand or dirt, and then get the tarp on top of it, and the wood pieces if its on grass, it made a huge difference for support.- It will look distorted as it's filling, it fixes itself when full if leveled properly.- The latter took much longer than it should have, again- horrible instructions.- The pump does not do much at all, which is unfortunate. Currently searching for a replacement- The cover is a joke, not sure why they even include it. Currently searching for a replacement.

Review on 18x9x4 oval pool.I'm not happy with this pool. So far, it's set up and has water in it and the pump appears to be enough for the volume of the pool (1500gph). The issue is with the instructions (or lack there of) included. They are incredibly vague, have no description within them, have very small pictures and are at worst misleading. The instructions state to place boards or other suitible material beneath the posts however what they neglect to tell you is that unless you dig the support blocks into and flush with the ground you will end up with the sides bowing in LIKE CRAZY. This resulted in me having to use my 2 1/2 ton car jack along with 2 x 4s to jack up the posts one at a time to remove the wood. That was for the 10 posts on the circular sides of the pool. For the u shaped posts on the side I had to dig one of them out and use a hammer to pound the other pieces of wood out from underneath the insane weight of 4800 gallons of water. Let's just say, I was not happy about that.The ladder also didn't come with any instructions at all.Finally the pool cover. What a piece of junk. Doesn't even fit. Spent at least a half hour stretching and pulling and tieing it off in order to get it to even think about fitting over the rails.Between the TERRIBLE INSTRUCTIONS, pool cover that doesn't fit, and having to deal with the weight of 4800 gallons of water to remove supports that were suggested to be used by the manufacturer I'm really surprised this thing has any positive ratings. Now, let's see if this piece of junk lasts through the summer.

Esta piscina ha sido una bendición mis niños no salen del agua, tiene un buen tamaño para que los niños aprendan a nadar y la profundidad también está buena ya que una niña de 7 años puede caminar en ella sin problemas porque el agua no la tapa y puede nadar.

The pool itself is okay, although we are starting to have some rust issues (have had the pool 4 months). The sides bow in a bit, but it isn't terrible. It was easy to build.The pump it comes with isn't adequate, I ordered a sand filter to replace it. Also, I just don't understand the cover at all. I thought 'It can't be that bad!', but it IS! It doesn't fit the pool AT ALL. My husband and 2 sons and I tried so hard to stretch it to get it to fit, but nope, it's total garbage.

We had this pool in the past for the past 6 years and put it up every year! Never a problem. Our house burned down in January and clearly so did the pool :( I ended up buying a new pool and let’s just say LOVE LOVE LOVE! We have no study flat ground but ended up getting bedding sand to level. The rain washed most away sadly but…. My kids and their friends have been horse playing in it and we have been floating for the past months and this pool is going strong! I highly recommend it to anyone who is not looking for something permanent! Thank you INTEX BESTWAY!! Ur the best!
