Intex 15.6ft x 49in Above Ground Swimming Pool Set w/Sand Filter Pump & Ladder

This is a great deal. It is not the cheapest Intex, but I think it's the best looking one. I did not want the same bloated pool look that I see many of. I also wanted something that looked aesthetically pleasing. This pool with the panels does all of that and more. I previously had the 10' easy-set type pools and loved them, however, the top inflatable part always became deflated and I got tired of dragging the air compressor out there daily to hurry up and reinflate before it flooded over. I did not want a huge or deep pool as I fear people drowning in my pool, especially kids who can't swim. Anyhow, the height is perfect for my 10 year old and my 23 year old. You can easily fit 4-6 adults to just hang out.My dislike is the ladder. It is built for a small adult with a perfect BMI. Not many people fit this criteria. You can barely get your hips past the top to get in, so proceed with caution. I have been lazy and continue to use it. It is flimsy and should probably be secured somehow but again, I continue to use it.The filter is good and the suction is good enough. I am neurotic about a clean pool and after figuring out how to use the SAND filter, I do like it a lot. Buying cartridges and standing out with a hose to clean the filter gets exhausting. Don't have that problem here. For the filter, I had to buy 1 bag (20lb?) of silicon sand at a local store and it was like $15 or Amazon has it too :)There are multiple manuals with the pool and I get easily overwhelmed reading small print. So I must say that if you can find the exact model on YT, they do have the videos that are much more helpful for those who need to see something to understand how to do it. I did this whole pool assembly by myself in a few days, the exception was getting 2 other people to just move it on and off the leveled area before filing it.The shipping was good and came on a pallet for delivery. The first one was damaged (in transit*), so they simply shipped another one without questions or issues. Very well packaged, not one dent or scratch on any pieces!Lastly, I cannot stress enough**it must be LEVEL. You have to buy pavers for each leg (#15) and they are big and need to be dug out 2" in your leveled area and then leveled to each other. The pavers have to fit not only the pool legs but ALSO the panel legs, so make sure it's enough space. I had a small pre-leveled area (to put the pool) and it was a little frustrating, but worked out in the end.Lastly, I recommend buying a laser level machine or hiring someone to level the pool before* and after you start filing it to make sure you are good. Honestly, I needed to find someone to help level it after the 1st or 2nd inch of water because I could see it was off a bit. When filing it up, I left 2 small squares of no water (on the liner), so not completely full but enough. Glad I did that because after a heavy rain it needed the space. It took me about 8 hrs to fill it completely. But again, I was making multiple trips and checks.Overall, I would buy this again and again and can't recommend enough. Hope this helps someone.

Follow the directions included! Foundation is key and you'll not want to shortcut anything foundation-wise. We used patio pavers under the upright struts and after a well-used season, still straight as arrows. I would also recommend using a compactor tool for the foundation. We built ours up (tons of labor, trust me) and let it stand several weeks to compact through rain and gravity but wish we had used the compactor just for good measure. Looks fantastic in our yard with light landscaping and we know it'll be around for years. Good purchase. Don't shortcut anything - follow the instructions which we found quite clear and informative.

Great price for the product. Set up needs a little patience and the liberal application of plumbers tape for the pipe joints. But all in all a good product with better visual appeal than the average above grounds pool

Definitely make sure the ground is level because the panels won’t connect if not. The ladder isn’t the greatest but an easy fix.The sand does not come with the filter so order that ahead of time. Not hard to assemble it takes longer to prep.You will ALSO need 15 pavers to level into the ground for the poles.Delivery was an issue for us but the company quickly fixed that. Someone WILL need to be present for delivery. It comes on a pallet but then divided into 3 boxes.

We were able to put together this pool in about three hours and it’s been in our backyard now going on its third summer. It’s very sturdy, the pump works well and we even built a deck to attach to it. Our neighbors compliment us all of the time about how nice the graphite hard shell looks. It’s never made our electricity bill go up more the 25 dollars a month. Still haven’t found a an automatic skimmer that will attach to the side, but it’s not so big that you can’t clean it in a short amount of time. For the money, it the best looking self assembled pool on the market.

Shame on this seller! Description says pool is not discontinued but it is! This pool is a 2018 model that intex does not make anymore, yet Pool Zoom is selling them. Arrived with missing parts. Customer service not helpful at all. Tried to just purchase the missing parts but cannot as they are discontinued and no longer made. Without one part, valve leaks at connector. Will never buy from this company again. Do not buy from Pool Zoom.

We are thrilled with this pool. It’s actually pretty, looks like shiplap! My husband and I are in out 70’s and had no trouble putting this together. The hardest part was getting the ground level. Down the line we’ll get a sturdier ladder but this one’s fine for now. Suction is pretty good, the water is always clear and we have well water. I highly recommend this pool

Doesn’t have a pump big enough to keep it clean but other than that works perfect!!
