26325EH Ultra XTR Deluxe Above Ground Swimming Pool Set: 16ft x 48in – Includes 1500 GPH Cartridge Sand Filter Pump – SuperTough Puncture Resistant – Rust Resistant – Easy to Assemble

We bought the 14' pool. I have had no problem with the filter being adequate. Our water is clear. We did also purchase the intex salt water chlorine generator - that is how we are keeping our pool sanitized. We started out with water sourced from our city water company - not well water. I think that was a good starting point. We also pretty much always keep it covered with a solar water cover. Sometimes we have to take the cover off if it's a bunch of hot days in a row - the water got to almost hot tub level once! It was 96 degrees! But I do think keeping a cover on helps tremendously, whether it's solar or the one that came with the pool. We were expecting a ton of rain and storms, so we did put the cover that came with the pool on when that weather came through so that less rain water would get in the pool. Obviously keeping the pool covered keeps bugs and birds and leaves and things out of the pool. So that helps keep the pool clean and clear. I've enjoyed testing the water and then getting the right chemicals to make it right. I don't need for it to be perfect, but I think it has helped to keep the pool water clear. People who complain about the pump being inadequate - I think they are expecting the pump to do what regular pool maintenance should be doing. I vacuum the pool once a week - sometimes more if I want to. I just bought a small pool vacuum at Lowe's. And I use a leaf skimmer on a pole to skim off bugs and things off the top of the pool. I have to do that when I take the solar cover off because it's hard to take it off perfectly without getting some of the things on the top of the cover into the pool. I do hose the ladder and the outside of the pool off once a week, but that's because I read that can be helpful in preventing corrosion from having a salt water pool. It's been cool this week, and I've kept the ladder out since I last hosed it off since we probably won't be getting in again until the weekend. We went with buying this pool instead of doing a pool membership. So far it will pay for itself in 2 years. Has been so nice to get home, throw my suit on, and float outside for 30 minutes while the sun is still shining. I have doing some actual swimming in the pool also. It's just great. Was easy to put together with two people. Prep to make the ground even is a chore, but that is just what it is. We will probably take it down this year so we can improve some spots that are still uneven. We are a family of five, and this pool is a good starting size. Two or three adults/teenagers can float and my 11 year old can splash and dive around to her heart's content. My daughter had her 11th birthday party, and her friends spent hours in the pool! There were six girls and it was perfect.

I ordered the pool back in April. Waited about a couple of weeks and never received it. When I raised the issue to the seller, he immediately offered my money back or a replacement pool. Very courteous and amazing customer service. The pool arrived quickly and we had time to set it up 2 weeks ago. What great fun and easy to put it together. It’s true it takes about an hour to set it up. Now my family enjoys it every day. The pump works great. The pool is solid. Great purchase, quality and the seller is also very accommodating and understanding. A+++++

Pool is great , solid! Pump sucks!! Comes with SX925 pump. Pump was leaking right out of the box.

Ordered and received this pool pretty quickly . Leveled the ground and put the pool the pool together and started to fill it up and noticed water pooling on the side from underneath the pool . We continued to fill it cause we thought it was just from the pump . Nope ! We then drained it and trried to find out where the leak is coming from . We proceeded to seal the the seams with flex tape and the filled the pool again and we had the same issue . So, the leak is not on the seams it is somewhere else . Spoke with the company and they won’t send me a new pool unless I dismantle this one and send it back in perfect condition . Well it leaks and now has flex tape on it so it’s not in perfect condition . Still trying to figure out what to do . Unhappy customer

Pool itself is more or less fine. Just note - there is NO SAND for the filter included - have to buy separately, also make sure you find perdect spot for the pump as hoses are really short, need to be precise with location. Also need additional support for the connectors on the pool wall, heavy hoses full of water rend to rip out the connections

So far it looks great and feels like good quality. Just bought april 1, 2025. Unfortunately we did find half way through set up that one t-connector is broken. I'm hoping a zip tie will save it and I can order an extra sometime later. I do wonder if this is just a fluke or if I'm going to have trouble with them breaking in future years. My last pool had metal t-connectors like the legs.
