Easy is right!
I see A lot of questions on here about how hard it is to install this, so let me clear this up by saying that I, a 60-year-old woman, set this up by myself. I even had to level out some very uneven rock which I did with bags of dirt. It’s not completely even, it’s off by about 2 inches of the water height, but it’s perfectly fine. We jumped in and enjoyed it before it was even half full. With my well water it did take 10 hours to fill it. Update 1 month later, still love and my base is not exactly even, it’s about 4” off, 1 side slopes down and the pool has more water on that side and we have no problems with that. I did install real steps that are huge 42” wide at the base and we love them. We connected the ladder that came with it for the outside stairs into the inside steps. One last thing, I only plug the pump in on the weekends and the water is crystal clear. 2019 update: the mice ate some holes in that 15 ft so I upgraded to the 18 ft and it’s even better. Again I tried to flatten the ground a little more but it failed and it’s 4 inches off as well, but it doesn’t matter at all. I like these pools so much I built a deck so you can step right onto the steps, works just like any other pool
Fall 2020 update: was another fabulous summer with this pool, and as you can imagine we got even more use out of it this year. Again I tried to flatten the ground a little more and was successful by 2 inches. But again, if it’s a couple of inches off it doesn’t affect anything, it will not tip over. We really have not had any problems with it, everything still works great, there are no leaks, and even putting it away is simple. After it empties I lay it out in the sun for one day on each side, then I powder the inside and roll it up put it in a big garbage bag and store it in the basement. One of the best investment I ever made.
