Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Purchased this pool to replace our old KD pool, which was 14 years old and the same tube-frame style. I was a little iffy about the quality of this one, as it was a lot cheaper than the KD pool (that company, unfortunately, is out of business), but I figured I'd buy a replacement liner this summer, just so I have it when we need it. Living in Arizona, the liners dry-rot long before the frame shows any sign of age. When we unpacked this pool and started the set-up, I was immediately impressed by the quality ~ it really didn't seem much different than our old pool. Now that it's filled, it feels just as stable, and the inside of the liner has a nice pattern on it, something the old one didn't have. I'd read a lot of Bestway and Intel reviews in which people complained about the weak filter pump/vacuum and the flimsy ladder. As we already had these items (neither of which is remotely weak or flimsy), this wasn't a problem. My only complaint is that the inlet and outlet openings don't seem to be well reinforced; the filter hoses seem to drag on them, making me wonder if they'll eventually pull out, taking half the pool water with them. We may have to come up with some kind of system to support the hoses from the top rail. Otherwise, I am VERY pleased with this pool, especially for the price. It arrived quickly and in great shape too.
