It's a nice pool. The instructions are horrible - after struggling for about a day and a half to erect those heavy aluminum panels, we decided to YouTube assembly and THEN we were able to figure it out. It has been in use for 2 seasons now in the North East and held up fine in winter. In fact, we were shocked when we unveiled our pool this spring and saw the water was crystal clear. We've had some hoses bust, etc. in the past two years and my handy husband was able to fix it. The issue this season is that the pump has gotten very loud. All in all - it's a fine pool, but if you're a novice on pool assembly or maintenance, be ready to learn.

Do not buy this pool - 1st - Ladder will hold a 100LB at most - sooooo flimsy and very dangerous - Ours only works because it sets on pool resin rail. The ladder literally collapses as you walk up it and each step bends. Third time entering it was worthless took down and bought another ladder system from another company. 2nd - The pump system - There is no shut off valves allowing you to clean the strainer - You have to turn the filter valve to closed and then plug the skimmer with something or connect the vacuum accessory and hang the hose out of water - Or open it and have a mess.... - 3rd - Our pool came missing a skimmer gasket - Contacted the manufacture and they said they do not stock the part and sent me a link of where to purchase the gasket myself - I said then send me the entire skimmer kit (No response) Good luck with any warranty assistance - Finally Liner is very thin - If you buy this item plan on buying a separate Liner, Steps, shut off valves and any missing parts.

Pool liner missing from shipping and the replacement did not fit right. Then, the ladder is absolute garbage. Collapsing steps, cannot stop it from floating and slipping, very difficult to use. A waste of money and does not look like photos. The walls are fake.

Do not buy this pool! I’m so mad right now and may never purchase from Wayfair again. Over a week ago we emailed them because we installed the pool and were missing a cap. It has been over a week with our pool walls up just hoping the wind doesn’t get it, they say that I’ll get a tracking number when it’s shipped. I wait, and wait and today after 8 days I get an email saying the replacement part is not available anymore! So now I’m trying to figure out what to do!! I’m so mad and sad at the same time. Also know that everything on this pool is plastic!

The accessories are spotty at best and the liner will amaze me if it holds up the year
