Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We wanted a pool for the summer without spending a lot of money. I was disappointed how expensive pools were (probably due to increased demand from the effects of COVID19), and we ended up getting this one for about $180-$190 shipped. It doesn't look very sturdy in most people's photos, so I thought it was going to be a piece. Thankfully, I was wrong! This pool is so much nicer than what I thought we were getting. I still don't know if it'll last more than a season, but we are happy with what we got. It was easy to set up. We followed the instructions for the filter because of some reviews that said it burnt out right away. Ours has been working great for two hours now. The instructions to say to run it 2.5 hours a day, so that's what we intend to do. We're very happy so far! Update: We've had our pool for one month now, and we're still happy with our purchase. We ended up buying a pool cover, chlorine tablets for the filter, test strips to make sure the chlorine is at a safe level, extra filter cartridges, and a shock treatment. Also, we bought a vinyl patch kit. Why a patch kit? Well, we got a hole on the rim of our pool, and it started to deflate! We initially patched it with flex tape that we had, which worked for a few days but eventually let air out. We re-patched it with flex tape a couple more times while we waited for the vinyl patch kit to arrive. It's been patched with the vinyl patch it for about a week now and is doing fine. So, you may want to consider having a vinyl patch kit on hand just in case you get a hole in the rim of your pool, too.
