Customers are dissatisfied with the holes in the swimming pool. They mention that there are micro holes that show after three months of use. Some customers also mention that the pool has a little pin sized hole in the side.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It did take me three different tries to set up the pool on three different days, but that is because I kept needing to relevel the pool manually with a shovel.
Ultimately I just decided to risk it and set the pool up even though there was a slight...couple of inch difference in the levelness of the pool on one quarter section. I had read some reviews that insisted that the pool must be exactly perfectly level.... And am relieved to report that even though mine is slightly off due to some rock impeding my ability to achieve perfect level ground.... The pool has been up for almost 2 months now and it's doing just fine. I think if a whole half of the pool were off, this would be different.
In any case, I have friends over regularly to do water aerobics and it's a lovely time. Pool is still going great.
The pump works pretty good, but you are definitely going to need one of those vacuum things. I bought one on Amazon I think it was by Intex as well for 28 bucks. If you have any trees letting off leaves, you will want the pool vacuum thing.
I also bought a pool skimmer device but haven't attached it yet because surprisingly the pool is pretty easy to maintenance if you do it everyday.
The pool does not require as much work as some people make it out to be in my opinion. I find it easier to leave the pool uncovered and just fish out the leaves everyday. It motivates me to also use the pool on a regular basis and makes it easier to monitor the pool's cleanliness when I can actually see it.
In terms of chemical maintenance, I just bought some 3-in chlorine tablets, put some chlorine stabilizer in every now and then because of its exposure to sun.... (The sun destroys chlorine more quickly for those who don't know and the sun also promotes the growth of algae if the pool is not adequately chlorinated.)
I also shocked the pool when it gets cloudy, which has only been once in the last 2 months. I am usually pretty bad about maintaining stuff, so if maintaining the pool is easy for me, it should probably be pretty easy for most people. Seriously. It's a small pool and it has a filter that runs on a timer.
I should also note that I don't like using the cover. It catches leaves and other crap that end up going into the pool when you remove the cover anyway. So it's easier for me to just leave the cover off and fish out some leaves whenever I see them floating. If they sit on the cover too long they disintegrate, and then you have to break out the vacuum instead of just using a net.
I realize at this point it's at the end of pool season, but what a great time to get a deal on this pool. I'm disappointed I didn't wait a little longer to buy it because it was more than $100 cheaper a month after I bought it.
Finally, I need to go back to the pool setup. It was actually very easy. Surprisingly easy. It would have been easier if my land were already level. Nevertheless it was so easy, that I set the pool up and took down the pool three separate times three days in a row while trying to get the thing level. I didn't fill it all the way the first two times but did on the 3rd.
This pool is over 5,000 gallons, so be prepared for a giant water bill. Where I live, my water bill ended up being about $170. The base bill is normally $35.... And I don't normally pay more than $35 so.... Count on a steep waterbill whenever you fill it.
As long as this pool holds up for a while, I would definitely recommend buying it again. And if anything happens in the next year or so, I'll update this. Otherwise you can assume that it's still going strong.
Also change the pump filter or wash it everytime u feel the water pressure get slower pumping into pool is a must. Usually about once a week on average. I run pump about 8 or more hours a day except when clarifier or super chlorinating maybe directions call for longer. 24 hours for clarifier I think.
All this kept pool quite clear most of the summer. If people have a lot of oil on skin a film may develop on surface. There is a product for that too that helped break that down too.
The pool itsself can last more than 1 year. Maybe a few years. It just can get leaks at seems and in inflatable part. I also had a cider block too close during a windy storm and that rubbed a hole in it too. So it's not extremely durable so be careful and be careful storing it too. It's a great time tho and worth the low price I got it for! 9 to
12 year old Kids used it everyday. And me and my friend layed out on rafts in it. It's worth it!!
Here is what I learned. If you want an maintenance-free pool that will not cost you anything but the pool....this is not for you. First you have to find the right spot. Since there are no level spots in our yard we put it on our back patio. Only to find out that when we filled the pool that the patio is not level but it works anyway.
Since it is on concrete you HAVE to put something under it such as a tarp or foam pads to prevent small holes in the bottom of the pool. Once you have this set up inflate the top ring. Start to fill with water (it will take hours). As you are doing this attach the filter. Yes, it comes with extra parts.
Once the pool is filled you will think “wow! This is great!” and the kids will hop in once it is warm enough. Your excitement will be short lived. Literally one day, you will look out and your “perfect” pool is suddenly “perfectly” green. So off you go to get chlorine for your amazing new pool. Since this pool is small you pick up the small chlorine dispenser for $6 and a container of 1” chlorine tabs for $18. (This will take you through the season just so you know). Little do you know that 1” chlorine tabs can be hard to find.......Home you go with your “solution” in hand. It doesn't work. Off you go to buy $15 test strips to figure out what is wrong. Turns out because you used well water you need to increase the PH. Without the proper PH your chlorine tabs are just eroding away and doing absolutely nothing to help with your green slop. So off you go to the $#@% store to pick up PH Up. Follow the instructions and now wait. It works!
Next is the filter. Yup. It is there for a reason. I turn it on and it begins to filter all the algae that is floating around. Please keep in mind the pool is only 5 days old at this point. Suddenly you realize that you have to go back to the $#@% store to pick up another filter because the one you have is green. Feeling a bit strapped for cash you only pick up one. It isn't until you get home to find out that you actually have to replace the filter every 2 weeks. When you return to the store you realize that all the filters have been sold and that you look high and low around all the other stores and they don't have your size either.....grrrrr. It is not a powerful filter & leaks which is why I gave this a 4 star rating..
Once the filter does it's magic you realize that there is a bunch of junk at the bottom of the pool. Back to the $#@% store you go. This time to pick up a “spa” vacuum. You read the instructions and don't believe it will actually work. Stick a hose in one end and a mesh bag on the other and it will vacuum everything up. Since vacuuming is not a favorite activity you also pick up a pool cover. So another $30 and you come home with your next solution. It works like a charm. Once it is all clear you put the cover on. Please note that the cover was the best investment!!!!
Now summer is under way. The kids use the pool daily. Suddenly the ring deflates. I would love to blame the kids for it but that is not the issue. Turns out that our cat has decided that this 12 foot pool is his personal water dish. Walking on the ring is quite a talent and he needs his claws out to keep his balance so he does not fall in. He also enjoys using it as a spring board and makes a game of bouncing off of it. Because our patio is not 100% level one side is a bit lower than the rest. Once the ring deflated enough that side of the pool collapsed causing a tsunami of water rushing down the back yard muddying our small pond and drowning all small rodents who had any holes in the yard. I spent days trying to find the hole. I searched for “easy” ways to find a hole and none of them actually worked. What I finally did was I inflated the ring and put my ear to it and walked around the ring listening for a slight whistle. This worked. I used a permanent marker and circled the hole (so in the future if my patch comes off I can find it again). Out to the $#@% store again. I find self-stick patches (yes these work and are less annoying than dealing with patches and glue!). Once applied we are back in business. Until it happens again. Since listening the first time worked I went around and found the hole within 2 minutes...dried it and patched it.
Please note that the cover not only keeps leaves and debris out it also keeps animals from drowning in your pool. Turns out that our cat issue is a normal issue for folks with cats or with neighbor cats.
Overall, once we got through our learning process we love this pool! The sides and bottom are sturdy for my girls. You can go to the pool store for advice but they do not carry any parts for this pool. I can't blame the product for the holes in the ring since it clearly is not a product issue but an animal one. Easy to set up (once you have the spot). Filter is so-so. I will probably upgrade that for next year. It is deep enough for my girls to use inflatable floats to float around on. We got this early in the season so we got it for a discount! Fast shipping. All of the issues with this pool has been user caused not product caused. Highly recommend this pool!
