Intex  12Ft X 36In Easy Set Pool Package

We bought this in late spring/early summer 2012 for our 8 year old twins and they loved it. We will be using it again next summer.

This pool is very easy to set up. Spread it out on flat ground, connect the pump that came with it, blow up the top ring and add water. It took mine about 4 hours to fill (connected to city water). The only issues I had/have with the pool: When 1st filled, there was some leakage from the seams. (Steady drips.) Strangely enough, after a couple days the leaks stopped on their own. The other issue I have is with the pump. I have to agree with other reviewers, the pump is under-powered. It simply does not move enough water fast enough to be very effective. I have watched tiny pieces of debris float right past the water intake and not get sucked into the filter. If/when the pump fails, I will replace it with a more powerful unit. For the price, I can't complain.

Bought this pool for my six year old daughter and her friends and it has been awful from the start! We wanted to make sure the pool was level so we moved it several times, but mother nature gave us an uneven yard. It looked even finally, and started to fill it (after spending at least 30 min getting wrinkles out) We filled the ring with air and tried to positioned it so that it was directly centered.If one side looked like it was filling first, we added folded tarps under it to raise that side. As it filled my husband and I would tweak it. After a few hours of filling it, the pool looked like it was bulging and not rising vertically. The inflatable ring was completely lopsided and no way looked like a circle . Then it happened....boom ....collapse all the water gushes out. I mean all the water. My daughter cried and I felt like crying too. So we move it again . Have friends come over to help us start the process again. Guess what...the next day we come out and pool is half empty no leak but it dumped more water over the top. If you look at it, the pool looks level. what the heck is wrong! Its going to be the summer of huge water bills and a very sad six year old. All told it took us over 8 hours of messing with this piece of JUNK. EASY SET MY FOOT ! Hate it

Have had for 3 years.Kids have loved it. Dogs haven't tore it up or punctured it either. Cat and racoons at night we have have probs with. Was easy to patch, even near seams and they held (remember take time to let patches dry fully and patch on warm dry day even if it says instant...water is heavy lots of stress on plastic) Did find need for skimmer filter to keep up with our usage to keep pool clean. Cover was necessary. Keeping chemicals balanced before & after heavy and refilling use needed to keep clean, but that is with all pools. Plastic has taken beating in heat and on patio with slight drainage incline with fairly heavy use has proven to have warped plastic to fit only that location after leaving up for 6 months. Getting new this year to replace. We liked being able to relocate different areas, easy up and down but does need to be fully towel dried out before storage.

Yes, its easy to set it up, the only thing you realy have to make sure that the ground is flat and level is stright...Even it looks stright , the amount of water does things on its own... And sides of the pool not handeling good..

Fairly easy to set up. But the filter is another matter. It is not big enough/strong enough to keep the water clean. Even with floating chlorine tabs in water at all times and algae treatments. Pool water must be changed two to three times per summer due to poor performance of the filter.

Extremely simple to put up. We use our driveway because it's large enough and also level. A level space for the pool is key to enjoyment. We use a sponge type padding underneath not only for safety reasons but to prevent little pebbles and such from causing damage to the liner. The only thing I'd comment on is I wish the pump were a little more powerful than what it actually is.

Even though I still have my pool from last year, I am buying a new one because the kids are bigger and I'd like a deeper pool for them to enjoy.

Not easy to set up. found it difficult and also it is lopsided. Can't tell if ground is level til water is in it.

very good pool for the listed price
