Lake Effect Pools 'Testudo' 24' Foot Round Above Ground Swimming Pool | 52" Height | Resin Protected Steel Sided Walls | Bundle with Solid Blue Pattern 20 Gauge Overlap Liner and Widemouth Skimmer

The pool is good quality for the price. I bought it to replace my old one that the wall rusted out. This one is rosin coated and seems to have better quality than the old one. I had a professional install it because it was too involved and I don't have that skill set. The delivery is no signature required but you should be home when it arrives. My boxes were damaged. I contacted the seller's customer service and sent pictures. They told me to refuse delivery. No hassles. They were really helpful and a replacement was shipped out the next Monday.

We installed it. 😩 Husband had the walls up two times until finally getting it the third try. One of the support poles were smack dead in the middle of the cut out skimmer section. Take down one. Realized each pole was upside down, take down 2. Time out mental breakdown happened. Husband lit the instructions on fire, said some mean things and proceeded to put the walls up for the third time. He finally got it. Now on to the liner installation. The over lap liner is cheap. It was easy to put on with using claps to help out the process. They did not come with pool kit but were a major help when putting the liner in. Invest in plastic claps. Get at LEAST 10 clamps. Is the overlap liner good quality? No but it will do temporarily. When we replace the liner in two years, most definitely going with a thicker liner that is beaded. Back to pool installation next we filled the pool up with water, hooked up to our filter we already had and boom we are now summer ready.Did he read every direction? Yes, huge chunks of important directions were nowhere in site. Extremely frustrating BUT also keep in mind this pool kit is extremely budget friendly. This same pool size was priced with installation for $7,800. We got this for $2,000. Husband and teen boys installed it. It took a full 12 hours but we also had a fire towards the end of installation. We can laugh about it now but whew!Would I purchased again? Yes. We discussed putting a smaller pool at our lake house. Would we install it ourselves, HECK NO. Never ever again

Not a DIY!! Took a lot longer to build, even for an experienced pool installer! The grande canyon liner is very dark and there was no description. Liner was an overlap which wasn’t in the description and we wanted a unibead. Although, happy to have our pool replaced, just wished we knew a few of these things before purchasing.

Had no problem, was delivered a week early had my three grown sons and my wife to help took about two hours to put up the wall so far I have no problem

Pool quality is a 8/10. It defintally isn't a "high end" product.... but if you are handy it is defintally worth the cash.. No, you can't build it by yourself... it took an army of friends to put it up, do your research. If you have the means this product is awesome for the 💰! The screws it came with are trash, expect a few trips to the store. I am a contractor and it maxed out my abilities for sure, but in the end it is beautiful and functional. I worry that most the people who rate this pool less than 5 stars don't understand what they are getting themselves into, if you have patience and know how to see massive projects through, buy this kit and save thousands. If you expect it to be something you buy from Walmart, just move on. Overall after setup it is beautiful, strong, and worth every penny, but if you arnt capable... spend more money and hire a professional.

I put this pool together fairly easy since it’s the third time installing one of these monsters by myself…it wasn’t until it was filled that I noticed the DEFECTIVE LINER! It looks like crap and is VERY noticeable!! Unfortunately it’s been over the time limit to request a refund otherwise, I would!! Very disappointed….UGLY Pool

Me quedo perfecta

Overall, this pool package is a lower tier product that is definitely sold at lower prices when there isn't such an increased demand. The pool went together fine, with one person helping over 4-5 hours. The pool is sturdy and everything fit together as it should. Don't think its worth over $1500. I would expect to pay in the realm of $1000 for this.Pros:Instructions not hard to follow (once you find them).Everything fits together well.Can install in half a day if you're handy, with a helper. This doesn't include prep for the pool site.Skimmer provided is good quality.Cons:"Resin" is more of an extremely thin film. Worn off in multiple small spots due to jostling during shipping. Left with exposed raw steel.VERY thin metal. To the point where you need gloves for handling. Learned the hard way.Bottom rail is steel. Going to rust in Florida. Gonna rust ten times faster with salt water pump.Liner doesn't match the description. You'll get whatever they have in stock/cheapest.Hole for the return jet is too small. Only fits the valve provided with skimmer can't use standard valves that come with common pumps. Needs to be 1/16-1/8" diameter larger.Instructions come on a CD-ROM. Don't have one anymore. Had to google directions from a similar pool to get it together properly. Should come with printed instructions.
