Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I watched all the videos and reviews on this pool for about 4 months. So I want to add some bullet points to this pool: - 2 hours to level the ground. Brought in Sand and made sure we have a level ground, but nothing perfect. - 3 hours to put the pool up. Me and my 100lb fiance accomplished this task and unpacking everything from all the boxes takes a lot of time. It was tough because the pool liner is heavy. I wish we had spend a little bit of time to pull every wrinkle out. Be sure where the tarp is laid is where you want the pool, there is no going back to move it unless you have an army. Be sure you have a dolly for this job, i bought one and it was the best thing to buy for this job. One thing to note, I thought Intex sent me the wrong corner poles because they are much smaller than the other poles, but that is just how they are, they need to move. I was pretty upset until I watched other videos and noticed thats just how they are. - 2 hours to hook up the pool filter, salt water and connect the hoses. You will need about 120 lbs of sand to put in the filter(sold at home depot and says pool filter sand). You will need about 8 bags of salt (sold at walmart and says pool salt) to start. You will need about 3lbs of water stabilizer (cyanuric acid sold at Walmart) to start. You will need a pool water test kit, the pool comes with test strips but eventually you will want to upgrade. - The pool took about 3days to fill up. Changed my hose for better output of water. I did not water at night because I was always pulling the legs to make sure they were out. I put 1 inch bricks on the legs (not level to the ground) on the most inner side of the brick. By the time the pool filled up, the legs kicked to the middle of the brick. The rails will dip until the pool is 100% filled, my right side still has a slight bend, but over time I know the ground is soft and the bricks will sink. Over all I am happy right now with this pool and excited for summer to come now. The pool is BIG. I like how Intex sends you mostly everything you will need to get this pool started and running. The pool is a lot of work to setup and maintain, but the benefit of having a very large pool will pay off. After summer I plan on taking it down and storing, so maybe i can write a review on how that goes.
