Bestway Power Steel 18' x 9' x 48" Oval Metal Frame Above Ground Outdoor Backyard 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 love it. So simply to put up. For an above ground pool its great quality

The pool arrived on time! The box claimed a 30-minute setup. False! LOL! It takes that long to unpack and lay everything out. ;) However, the setup was fairly easy. I did put an underlayment down, as the pool is on my patio and despite cleaning it thoroughly, I didn’t want to run any risks of a pebble puncturing the bottom.It seems quite sturdy; it handles the rambunctious activity of 10, 11, and 13 year old boys.The bad news? The pump that comes with it is inadequate. The flow is minimal, not really allowing the water to circulate well. And a month in, the pump has gone kaput. It powers on, but no water flow in/out. I’ve disassembled and reassembled it, no luck. One would think that a quality pump would accompany such a pool, but now I’m left to purchase a whole new pump to ensure my pool doesn’t turn into a swampy cesspool of crap.The cover that comes with it is quite tricky and not a 1-person job. And the strings that are threaded in the top to cinch it don’t have any kind of “stop” on them, so they’re easily pulled within the liner, never to be seen again unless you can somehow manage to rethread it in without damaging the cover.It did say a ground cover was supplied, but there wasn’t one in the box. No biggie. Found a giant tarp at Lowe’s.The ladder could be a little sturdier, but so far, so good.Overall, happy with the purchase! Just take the other reviewer’s word and invest in a better pump right up front and avoid the frustration!

PLEASE think about buying a different brand pool. I bought this pool (18'x9'x48" oval) last August (2024). I finally was ready to set this pool up in the past month, for the first time. I paid to have someone level the area of the yard that I intended to put this pool. Then, the person who leveled the yard offered to put the pool up for me. NICE! However, I hadn't even gotten the pool half full of water when I notice the long sides (18' sides) are literally bowing in towards the water of the pool rather than staying firmly in place. So, I drain the pool and set it up again but used patio blocks underneath the 6 u-shaped supports (3 on each 18' side) and started filling it again. NOPE! Not even half way full and the same issue. My fear was the pool wouldn't hold up and that at some point the bowing sides would literally just collapse into the pool. So, I emptied the pool and decided to call "Support" from Bestway. 1st, a heads up.....When you go to their website it is impossible to send them a message or find an actual phone number to contact them. 2nd, if you google to get a number to contact them you will get a working number. BUT, if you have to call them back and you google again you will then see that there are at least 5 different numbers shown on various blogs. Supposedly Bestway USA is located in Arizona. Yeah....The USA headquarters may be in Arizona. But, the customer support is just like every other company...People in a room in India somewhere who have little grasp of the English language and even less knowledge or care about your situation. They're getting paid whether you get any help or not. UGH!! Anyway, called them and they emailed me a "tutorial video". NOT HELPFUL! It wasn't even the same type of frame that my pool has. It was a video for a much older version of this pool. Totally irrelevant to my situation. I called them back at the next newest number I located on google. Honestly, didn't intend to try to get anymore help from them. Told them what I thought of their service, that it was obvious they were working phone banks in India and that I would NEVER buy another Bestway product and hung up. Seriously, save yourself the frustration and buy from a different company.

Its clean and big as it say,everything came with it nothing was missing also very sturdy,when we got done the pool ready all of us which is 8 ppl fits

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 ❤
