Bestway Power Steel 20' x 12' x 48" Oval Metal Frame Above Ground Outdoor Swimming Pool Set with 1500 GPH Filter Pump, Ladder, and Pool Cover

This is a perfect pool for my family! I didn't write a review right away because I wanted to see how it would hold up! NO LEAKS! No trouble putting it together. I LOVE IT! ❤ So does my family. I'm purchasing color changing lights from Amazon to put up over the pool. I just received my solar color changing lights today. Can't wait to see how it looks together. Want to put plants 🪴 around the pool. We're just starting to redo the yard. Photo of pool after rain storm so it's a little leafy. More pictures when complete! The Raccons keep climbing the ladder to drink from pool haven't caught them yet. Just their little sandy foot prints left behind!Pool filter is a piece of garbage! It quite working. My husband took it apart. it actually has a little aquarium propeller in it. This is good for a 20 gallon aquarium but not a pool filter! I'm not happy I gave to search for a new filter at the end of the season. My husband can fix anything. Fingers crossed! But it sounds like I have to find a new filter. Anyone purchasing this pool save yourself the heartache 💔 & buy a good filter. It took us 3 to 4 hrs. To put the pool together. Be prepared! I agree with other reviews, I don't like the latter. It needs some work. My husband is afraid I'm going to bust my head open on the concrete. It's just not stable! I love ❤ my pool but these 2 things need work. I wish bestway would send me a new filter!

No complaints other than pump could be better and it didn’t come with an underlayment. You will NEED to upgrade the pump at some point this one just wasn’t enough to keep it clean. I upgraded to a 13” sand filter pump and it’s way better. I recommend to get a surface skimmer and vacuum that plugs into suction ports to keep pool looking good. Very easy to set up and no issues with the pool itself. Overall happy with purchase.

The pool arrived on time! The box claimed a 30-minute setup. False! LOL! It takes that long to unpack and lay everything out. ;) However, the setup was fairly easy. I did put an underlayment down, as the pool is on my patio and despite cleaning it thoroughly, I didn’t want to run any risks of a pebble puncturing the bottom.It seems quite sturdy; it handles the rambunctious activity of 10, 11, and 13 year old boys.The bad news? The pump that comes with it is inadequate. The flow is minimal, not really allowing the water to circulate well. And a month in, the pump has gone kaput. It powers on, but no water flow in/out. I’ve disassembled and reassembled it, no luck. One would think that a quality pump would accompany such a pool, but now I’m left to purchase a whole new pump to ensure my pool doesn’t turn into a swampy cesspool of crap.The cover that comes with it is quite tricky and not a 1-person job. And the strings that are threaded in the top to cinch it don’t have any kind of “stop” on them, so they’re easily pulled within the liner, never to be seen again unless you can somehow manage to rethread it in without damaging the cover.It did say a ground cover was supplied, but there wasn’t one in the box. No biggie. Found a giant tarp at Lowe’s.The ladder could be a little sturdier, but so far, so good.Overall, happy with the purchase! Just take the other reviewer’s word and invest in a better pump right up front and avoid the frustration!

I ordered this pool because of the extras. Everyone knows to replace the paper filter pump with a real sand pump. Outside of that, the box came in heavily damaged. The pool legs and liner are ok. The tarp isn’t even the right size and it’s full of holes. The ladder is just okay, but flimsy. The one star review is due to description not matching what I received. I could have ordered just the pool much cheaper and bought everything individually.

We purchased the 9' by 18'. Great pool for the price.Enough room to cool off. Ended up with bigger pump as factory pump broke first season, but that's what they do. Only downside is that it made me lazy last summer due to the heat, I worked and hit the pool. I really like the oval shape for my small yard.

The pool itself is okay, although we are starting to have some rust issues (have had the pool 4 months). The sides bow in a bit, but it isn't terrible. It was easy to build.The pump it comes with isn't adequate, I ordered a sand filter to replace it. Also, I just don't understand the cover at all. I thought 'It can't be that bad!', but it IS! It doesn't fit the pool AT ALL. My husband and 2 sons and I tried so hard to stretch it to get it to fit, but nope, it's total garbage.

I waited a year to write this review because I wanted to see how well the pool held up through the first summer and if taking it down, storing it, and bringing it back out would meet my expectations. Given the expense, I wanted to ensure I could get more than one summer out of it.I'm happy to report that this pool is hands down worth the money. After a full summer of use and then storing it over the winter, it still looks as good as when I first bought it—no rips, tears, or any signs of wear. The durability has truly impressed me.The only minor issue is that the original pump seemed a bit underpowered for the size of the pool. This year, we upgraded to a sand pump for convenience, but the original pump was still functioning; it just required more frequent shocking than I preferred.My kids have so much room to play in this pool! There's enough space for a net and at least five people on each side to play comfortably. It has provided endless fun for my family and friends. If you're on the fence about investing in this pool, go for it—you won't be disappointed!

So far it's a nice pool for a first time pool owner. It was easy to put together, it only took us a little over an hour. There are only two complaints I have. One is the filter is not strong enough. Next summer I will be purchasing a bigger one. The second complaint is the ladder. For saftey reasons it needs to have a small platform at the top for sturdiness and for kids to be able to easily enter and exit the pool.
