Frequently asked questions

The Bestway Steel Pro MAX pool set includes the above ground swimming pool itself, a filter pump for water circulation and cleanliness, a ladder for easy access, and a cover to protect the pool when not in use.

The Bestway Steel Pro MAX pool is designed for easy setup without the need for any additional tools. The frame pieces lock together seamlessly, making assembly straightforward for most people. It's advisable to have two people during setup to ensure ease and safety.

While the Bestway Steel Pro MAX is sturdy, its longevity through winter depends on your local climate. In regions with mild winters, it may be possible to leave it up by properly winterizing it.

Periodic checks of the pool's frame and liner for signs of wear or damage are also recommended.

  • Good pool
Size: 15' x 42"
Very easy setup and nice pool quality. Pump I would highly recommend upgrading due to it not enough circulation capacity for bigger pool.

  • Awesome pool for the price but you MUST buy the Intex 2500 GPH pump
Size: 14' x 48"
Awesome pool for the price but you MUST buy the Intex 2500 GPH pump for $105 dollars. The pump that comes with this pool is garbage and does not work well at all. You must absolutely buy the intex 2500 GPH pump because it is a beast and works brilliantly with this best way pool. The pump is only $105 and then you buy the Intex adapter which is $5 for two of them and you absolutely need the adapter for it to work with this pool. But once you get it the setup will be fantastic. Pool liner is strong and it looks great it's tall. It's easy to put together but the pool cover has holes in it on top there's four holes and I hate that feature. By the plastic clamps at Lowe's for $14 to help put the pool cover on makes a huge difference on ease. If you do not plan on buying the Intex pool pump then don't even bother buying this pool because the pump that comes with it is garbage. ... show more

  • Nothing fancy but does the job well!
Size: 15' x 42"
We bought this pool in July 2023. We took it down the first winter because we wanted to level the ground a little more. Next winter left it up and prepped it for winter, and then used it in the summer, was perfect, no issues. Took it down this year (2025) because I messed up the water (long story) and we will put it back up in May. We live in central Indiana so our winters are really unpredictable but so far I’m extremely impressed and happy with this pool. Filter is good for the size, and for the people that say the filter is garbage that just means you’re not using it correctly and changing your filter when you’re supposed to. It’s very simple to use set up and take down. I highly recommend this product! It’s just me and my husband, so it’s great for cooling down after a long day working in the yard or if you just want to chill and float around. Love this pool. It’s my favorite part of our yard!! ... show more

  • Good overall
Size: 14' x 48"
This pool was a great price when we got it. However, the pump included needs to be upsized because it really isn't rated for this size. It was a great size for our small family. Even the adults enjoyed it and it was easy to maintain. The instructions were clear. The only major issue I have is that we only had it one season and the hoses that connect to the pump are already cracked. We planned on giving it away to get a more permanent pool next season anyways but it would be nice if the hoses were sturdier. ... show more

  • Fun… but terrible experience
Size: 14' x 48"
For what it’s worth, it’s fun to have some water in this Arizona heat! Me and my boyfriend put this together in about 30 minutes. Pretty sturdy, too!! However, I have had to submit 4 warranty claims in the first few weeks of having it. The first one was the liner, I filled it up a quarter of the way and saw it was leaking from somewhere on the bottom. I got a new liner within a couple weeks, but originally was told it could be a couple months since it’s a new model and they don’t have them in stock; I think I got lucky :) Then, putting the ladder together, I found it had missing steps. Third, the pump was put together once I was ready to fill the new liner I received, and both of the 5’ tubes had holes in multiple places. Lastly (and hopefully the actual last), the pump stopped working. It’s creating bubbles at the base of the tubes, so it’s on, just not filtering or moving water. Checked to see if it was clogged, if it was level, if tubes were clogged, everything I was told to check after research on pool pumps. These issues seem menial, however, without things working properly, you cannot use the pool without additional issues. I am bummed the warranty is only a year (included). With this many issues this soon, what should we expect after the year is up? You can pay extra for extended warranty which is great (my window to add it closed before I had time to put the pool together (definitely my mistake, so don’t make it on your end too!!). My nieces will love it when they visit me, but the money to have these constant issues are it’s broken items is not worth the time, energy and money. I will make this one last as long as possible, but I will never order from Bestway again after this. I don’t want you all to spend money and be working on it more than you can enjoy it. ... show more

  • Absolutely Wonderful Recreational Accessory
Size: 15' x 48" - Gray
I have read several reviews and have no idea which planet a lot of the reviewers are living on. I bought my pool last summer, the first I have ever owned and maintained either above or in ground. As a complete rookie yearning for a cheap way of cooling off in a searing summer climate (central Georgia), I was skeptical about a $500 apparatus with a flimsy-looking pump. I assembled it quickly, filled it with a garden hose, put a $30 floating plastic module with chlorine capsules in it, and... VOILA! I have not put a drop of water in it since first filling, nor has the water been anything but crystal clear for the last 10 months. A cheap hand skimmer with an extendable paint handle is a must when the water gets too cold for immersion. But it suffices to remove pine straw, pollen, bugs and debris. Cleaning the pump filter by using the rubber plugs in the intake/outtake ports and spraying with a garden hose is an easy task. Hoses tend to spring leaks at their flexion points, but a coating of silicone quickly solves that issue. I have yet to install the cover for any reason. All in all a STEAL OF A DEAL for those in warm climates (I have used mine in 8 of the 12 months), but I'm not sure about how it would hold up (or be drained and disassembled) in areas of severe winters. ... show more

  • Love this pool!
Size: 14' x 48"
As others have said, the pump is not very strong. When it gave out, we ordered the next size up from Bestway and it has been well worth the money. The ladder that comes in the package might be great for dare devil kids but it was shaky for us seniors. With those upgrades this has been a wonderful pool. It has been in service for two years and we forecast at least one more season. I hope this same pool will be available when I need to replace it. Will buy again. ... show more
