26711EH Prism Frame Premium Above Ground Swimming Pool Set: 12ft x 30in – Includes 530 GPH Cartridge Filter Pump – SuperTough Puncture Resistant – Rust Resistant – 1718 Gallon Capacity

Okay, prepare for a long detailed review and everything you need to know about this pool. 6/26/24 At first, I was very skeptical about whether to purchase this pool because of the reviews. I have seen some bad reviews on it.. yet some good ones. The day it got delivered was today. As you can see in the photo I provided it was in okay condition, but everything inside was still intact and safe, with no damage. I have seen lots of bad reviews on how there were holes, I did not see any holes, but it was completely fine. Pricing and what came included: I would say it was worth the price for this big size of a pool plus with what it came with. I got the 15x42. It can fit about 8 or more people.. you can even throw a little pool party if you want too. This pool came with a few necessities, a ladder, filter pump, ground tarp, and pool cover. Set Up and its Process: It took about 2 1/2 hours. It took about 3 people to help. Me + my 2 sisters. We started around 12:30pm, finished around 2 pm, and started filling up the pool around 2:30. As I'm writing this review it is almost somewhat filled. I added another photo there and it was around 8 pm. The process overall was very easy, it was just a lot to do since the pool is pretty big. So far no leaks are happening. Filter Pump + other problems people had with this product: We have not tried the filter pump yet but I have seen so many bad reviews about it. But overall we have had no problems with the pool. I will probably update on how the pool is a month later + add an update on the pump! It is worth the buy! 😊 Update 7/22/24: The pool is awesome and the pump works perfectly fine, at times it did stop working but I fixed it right away and it was back to normal. Unfortunately, there was a leak but due to something my parents moved and accidentally leaned it against the pool and ripped a bit but we were able to fix it with flex tape.

Second one bought. So easy to put up and the size is great. Can use over and over but at the price i'd rather just purchase a new one each year. Sturdy and good quality.

Okay, let's get a pool, end of Summer for 1 event. Sure. We chose this one & so glad we did because it was a good find. First thing, dont get rushed & not buy sand. Its essential for ANY size pool. Place tarp on top of sand. Okay, by my self I unpacked it, did sand & tarp. I could have dont set up by myself but recruited the hubby which made ease of set up so much quicker. Total project time 2 hours with sand leveling. 1 hour just pool. Its well made and no missing items. Directions are clear & simple. Bought 2 XL floats and it was perfect for floating and relaxing. Functions for us perfectly, no steps needed, small pump, small area to clean. We got the pool to chill with other adults. It would good for younger kids or teens to just cool down on hot days. This pool setup is not big enough for grown people to swim but the cooling effect is awesome during heat wave. We used pump included and ran it on 10 hour cycle daily. Water clarity was perfect with pump & floating chlorine tablets container. Overall, best to set up with 2 for smoother set up. Recommend for families with younger kids or adults who just like to float. Im definitely impressed with quality.

This is our 3rd summer using this pool. The liner is holding up well and have no pin holes. Vinyl is normal sun wear on top so we use a Vinyl spray protectant on the places the bars go through. Posts have minimal rust and do not effect the structure. The pump it came with was small so we got a bigger one. I'd say this pool is great for kids 6-11 years old and for adults to float around in because it's not so deep, small enough to take care of and have friends over in and stays warmer if you use a solar cover when not in use. I didn't end up using the cover it came with because it was a pain to put on and take off, leaves/debris would get into it anyway when it was removed, it wouldn't keep pool warm so i felt it served little purpose. Be sure to watch lots of videos on setting up pools(preparing ground etc) if pools are new to you. Intex pools are great but the pump and pump parts could use improvements!

I’m shocked how much they decreased the quality! I’d rather pay $10-20 more for the same quality it was 2 years ago. 3rd pic is the one I bought May of 2023…you can see they changed the design. That one got destroyed last summer by a bad storm which is no fault of Intex. But this new quality is ridiculous and isn’t the prism supposed to be a bit better of a line than the regular blue ones? The bottom used to be the same exact material and thickness as the sides and it was very thick. Not only has the side material gotten noticeably thinner, the bottom is not the same. I felt how light the box felt and then how light the liner felt when I got it out. I thought there was something missing or that they packed the wrong liner because I remember how heavy and thick the last one was. You can see in the second pic how much the sun comes through the bottom. On the last one, no sun went through the sides or bottom. I was literally afraid to put this up and puncture it, it’s so thin. The bottom is now the same thinness as the cheap blowup pools from the dollar store for $20. What’s the point of having the nice poles when you go so cheap on the liner, your finger nail could rip it? So disappointing! I don’t see this being able to last past this year. Plus, I haven’t measured it but it also does not fit in the same indention as the last one. Several inches on all sides smaller. I don’t have the old anymore to measure but I’d guess it’s smaller too…even though they’re supposed to have both been 10ft. **edited after finishing the setup and filling with water today 6/1/25. Have to lower the rating again. Added 2 pics of leaking water. There is pooling water around it and I can’t find where it’s coming from. I’ve wiped away the water and these pictures were after that when the water pooled back into these spots. So it’s either leaking from the seams or somewhere on the very thin bottom. I’ve checked all the hose points and drain and they’re not leaking. I could live with the lower quality if it lasted the year but really?! Also, I have a tarp at the very bottom on the dirt then I have this very thick felt that’s used for huge above ground pools that I cut to fit. And then I just bought another brand new tarp to put on top of that. I opened and put it down the same time I set up the pool today.

So you'll see this review for the other products I purchased to add this little piece of paradise to my backyard. I have just retired from the military, and of course I started doing all the work around the house that I never had the time or energy for. When I saw I had a patch of yard room enough to put something, I found this 10' diameter Intex pool. It came well packaged, was a typical pain in the rear to put together (I don't read instructions until after the fact.../flex). Overall, it went together nicely. Filled it up, got the pump working (the pump is subpar...it'll work for now but I will upgrade sooner rather than later). I got the 10' Intex solar cover (solar - ha, funny...blue bubble wrap is solar now?) and it fits well. It helped keep the leaves and twigs out. If he adds some warmth to the water, I don't know. I live in central Texas. It's going to be warm regardless. So the pool is great. 30" deep, perfect for just sitting. I had a small camping table I put next to it. I got an HB Illumination speaker to pair to my phone. It's meant to float but the sound sucks when it's in the water. I added the Coleman 15x13 screened tent canopy a few days later. It fits perfectly. Enough room to cover the camping table and pump as well as enclose the little step stool ladder I have. The Coleman tent is easy to assemble - but MAKE SURE THE POLES ARE ON THE OUTSIDE! I read that review earlier and brain dumped it. Then I was cursing the existence of humanity when I got to the last pole and couldn't get it to snap into place. Yea - poles on the outside, poles on the outside...poles on the outside. It has two zipper entrances and like I said - it covers the pool perfectly. Keeps the bugs out. Get a camping LED light/lantern that emits the yellow/bug blind light and you're set to spend your warm summer evenings sitting in a pool, listening to crickets and frogs (or in my city case - traffic), and just relax the stress away. So unless I modify this review - I strongly suggest anyone considering this pool or the Coleman screen tent to buy. Good purchases.

Great pool! so far. This item didn’t come with the ground cover as it alludes to. Was bought as a present for my nephews 11 birthday and he’s been thrilled. Would also be very nice for adults looking to just soak and relax. Assembly was fairly easy, and I setup most of frame by myself. Inserting the last elbow & vertical bar does require two people. The included pump works great! but you absolutely have to buy the extra filters. After the initial pump run, the included filter was extremely dirty! wasn’t even worth rinsing. So filter management will be the #1 thing to keep this pool up and running as long it can. I can def see how folks complain about the pump, the pump does not work efficiently when the filter is dirty (check filter first). But, the 10’ x 30” is a perfect size. A good purchase decision.

Very happy with this purchase, showed up in a timely manner and was easy to set up!

Item was delivered right to the door step, which was up a few stairs so kudos to the delivery driver! As for the pool, it is of good quality. Liner feels thick and sturdy. Everything was included in the package and went together pretty simple even with the basic instructions. Takedown at the end of the season was straightforward as well if you have some decent folding skills (or just check out YouTube for a folding tutorial). Pump has a good timer feature to turn it on and off at adjustable hourly intervals so it isn't running constantly. I liked that. Only thing that could use an upgrade is the hose clamps for all the filter piping are plastic and not very, let's say, clampey? I had to run out and grab a few metal hose clamps. I understand the idea behind using plastic so it doesn't rust, but they just don't really clamp tight enough to keep everything leak-free.

We have had several above ground pools over the years and this is our favorite, so far. A bit of work to get it set up and definately goes smoother with two people setting up. The finished product is great so far. Only been swimming in it a week so far, but it's great up to this point.

Fácil de montar y resistente. El inconveniente es el cartucho que lleva para limpiar. Muy pequeño, dura poco y se tapona con facilidad. La solución fue tener mas filtros de repuesto.

I was very skeptical about this pool but it's really great. I was worried at first as the box arrived looking like it fell off the truck and rolled down a hill. Everything inside was well packed and in working order. One person can assemble but it wouldn't be as easy (especially for the first time). The pool went up very easy with two of us, directions were easy to follow but I needed my husband to attach the last piece as I didn't have the strength. It took a couple hours but would definitely be half the time next year. The pump didn't have great directions but it was doable. Having done it once, it will be very easy for next time. I wish the ladder was a bit sturdier but it works and it's easy to pull in and out of the pull (we pull it out for the night as we have young kids and it's just an extra precaution). We leveled the ground and put a thin layer of sand underneath (prior to reading the instructions not to use sand!). The pool has shifted about 2 inches because of this but is fine. All in all, a great buy!
