  • The instructions are poor, BUT the pool is great.
Size: 16' x 52" Pattern Name: Swimming Pool
My pool is the 52" round. Folks giving the PRODUCT a poor review because the instructions are poor just don't make sense. I almost didn't buy this because of the 3.7 stars, but once you read through the reviews you realize folks aren't complaining about the QUALITY of the pool. The barcode on the front of the instruction manual takes you to a video or search for Round Hydrium Steel Wall Above Ground Pool Setup video. That video certainly over-simplifies, but it shows you one of every step, You just have to repeat it for every stanchion etc. A friend and I took right at 6 hours to have it all put together and filling. Got another hour or two of cutting the skimmer and return hole and hooking up the pump/filter after filling, but the pool is up, looks good and is super sturdy. Disclaimer is that we have installed a pool before and from the day I ordered this, we began preparing/leveling the ground. Things to note: I am not a professional, I'm a Dad/Grandad trying to keep the grandkids happy. - Ground/Site prep is SUPER important! Spend some time at it! - Someone mentioned in a poor review that the skimmer and return hole are not precut. So you could not POSSIBLY line up a precut hole. Even if you lined it up perfectly, the weight of 5000 gallons of water will move it. You want the water level almost at the hole when you cut it so you know the water is holding the liner in that spot forever. - I put a 12" square concrete block under every stanchion. Had to dig down and basically make it flush with the ground. SUPER painful and time consuming process, but worth it for stability. - I won't be using the included ladder, pump or filter simply because I had access to better ones so no feedback on those. - I purchased heavy duty coving (along base of wall in middle pic) and a pad to go under the pool. It comes with a blue tarp, but I wanted a bit of extra protection. - If you order this here, it is going to take a while to get to you. Research, review, watch, read and prepare the ground. It will make your install day(s) so much simpler. Good luck! ... show more

  • Great Pool
Size: 16' x 52" Pattern Name: Swimming Pool
First time pool owners and installers. Husband and I did all the prep work and installation. Prepping the area to be level took more time then the actual pool set up. Best to have three people when actually setting up the pool side walls, one to hold in place and two to unravel and line up into the base. Otherwise, so far, the pool has been great. Sturdy and not an eyesore. Pump could be better, plan on getting a larger one next season. ... show more

  • Buy only if you don’t mind being frustrated
Size: 20' x 12' x 48" Pattern Name: Swimming Pool
This pool is the worst thing to put together. The instructions are trash and the pieces do not line up!!! Yes there is also a video but when the pieces don’t line up the video does not matter.

  • Patience is a virtue.
Size: 20' x 12' x 48" Pattern Name: Swimming Pool
We purchased this pool when it was on sale for $1279. The instructions are not the best and you have to do a lot of educated guessing and look up videos online for help. Once you get that under your belt it is fairly easy to assemble. There are 2 major flaws with the design. one being the humps or covers that are over the middle stability legs, they sit inside the pool and have metal flat bands you attach that go across the pool. the bands do not sit flat and are a big problem when putting the liner in along with the covers over the bands and legs. The liner is not going to be flat no matter what you do or try, ultimately ending in a few small wrinkles on the bottom of the pool! Considering the size and the price you can't expect top quality really simple. As you add the water the pool walls become very stable and the entire structure solid as a rock! I personally love the pump that came with it, it does a great job and keeps the pool pretty clean. We did invest in a robot cleaner and that combined with the pump does a great job. The size of the pool is perfect and very roomy. Overall if you are not looking to spend $5000 this is a great option and worth the momentary frustration that comes with it. ... show more

  • Needs better pump and filter
Size: 20' x 12' x 48" Pattern Name: Swimming Pool
assembly was pretty easy especially considering how vague the directions were, only thing that helped was the poor assembly video they had on the website which made me laugh... If you think your gonna put this together by yourself, your wrong, definately gonna need at least one person to help you, and make sure you put in the effort to have a leveled surface for the pool to set on. Consider getting a better pump and filter as the one that comes with this is pretty weak and wont even operate a pump vacuum, looks nice especially with the deck i built around the pool. ... show more

  • NICE POOL FOR THE MONEY
Size: 16' x 52" Pattern Name: Swimming Pool
Took awhile to get it in because the freight company lost it the first go around. If everything is done correctly you should not have a problem with this pool. I had Brasseaux's Clean & Clear Pool Services take a look at it and he said couldn't believe how nice of a pool it was for how much we paid for it. He likes the fact that the tracks for wall are plastic instead a metal. When it was time to put up the pool I removed all of the grass and made sure to get the ground as level as possible before installing it. i think place bricks down to support the tracks of the pool. after that I placed about 1.5" of sand down on the floor of the pool. After doing that i place the cheap tarp they gave down and then came with a foam padding on top of that. I would recommend to have at least 3 people when putting up the actual wall of the pool. It took maybe 3 hours to complete the setup of the pool. The liner that came with the pool looks pretty decent and should hold up for a few years. As far as the pump, I went ahead and sold the pump it came with and bought a bigger one with a 1.5 HP and hard piped it to the pool instead of using the cheap hoses it came with. ... show more
