Summer Escapes 18 x 48 Round Pool with 1000 GPH Skimmer Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't be fooled by this pool. It looks like an Intex pool; however, this pool made by GenFoam is junk. We had an Intex pool for 5 yrs and never had a problem until it developed too many leaks to fix. So we bought a new one. We set up the pool (easy to do), and discovered 10 leaks all near the top half of the pool. We drained the pool and took the liner back. One month later the hose cracked. (We only had to replace the Intex hoses twice in 5 yrs.) Two months after buying the pool the pump broke. Got a new pump from Genfoam and one week later it wouldn't work. This was in September and I was told to call back in March because they don't manufacture pool products from September thru March. (This wouldn't be so bad if we didn't live in the south where the swimming season goes through November.) It is now March 3rd and after ordering another pump Genfoam tells me that I can expect the pump anytime from March through August! This particular pump is attached to the pool wall and in-wall skimmer so you cannot use any other pump. Long story short-don't waste your money. BUY AN INTEX POOL.

Intex Easy Set 18-Foot-by-48-Inch Round Pool Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this pool for three years now, I had the smaller one before that. It is wonderful. The key is to buy the saltwater filter. If you do this it is easy to maintain, and NO CHEMICALS. I live in southern California and it gets HOT in the summer. This pool goes up in MAY and down In September. I run the pump 24/7 to keep it crystal clean, and never notice it on my electric bill. Try that with an in ground pool!

Intex Ultra Frame 24-by-12-Foot-by-52-Inch Rectangular Pool Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased for $[...] including shipping. Was a bit unsure at first about the quality/durability at this price. It is now set up and in use and all my concerns were unfounded. This is a relatively new pool design and it is really ingenious. Assembly is straightforward, instructions quite clear, no missing parts and the fit and finish were excellent. Really exceeded my expectation honestly. Best for a family with kids who want to get a fairly large pool up very quickly that should last 5 - 10 years with proper care. Everything needed is included in this package and the pump, filter and chorine generator are adequate for the pool size. The whole pool is assembled with not bolts or screws. You will need blocks to level with the ground for each leg and this can take a couple of hours to do. I would suggest 2 2x6x16" boards side by side rather than patio blocks. Cheaper, more durable, easier to set and easier on the vinyl retainers. At this price I would really be surprised if anyone would be disappointed unless they just didn't understand the different types of pools. I am updating this review after owning the pool for two seasons. I noticed that people are complaining about difficulty taking the pool down for the winter. The simple solution is don't!!! There is no reason to take it down. Just make sure you reomoved the valves and fittings from the side of liner, remove the interior plugs (leave the exerior caps on), and cover it. This will drain the pool a few inches but you just fill it up in the Spring. Whatever wear and tear you think you are saving by trearing it down for the Winter is misguided. The pool can easily withstand the cold weather is closed as indicated above. It is much harder on the liner and frame to take it down with all the prying it off the frame (which would get scratched and eventually rust then) and dragging it around. I hope this helps someone avoid a lot of hard, discouraging work for nothing. I would also strongly suggest getting a sand filter for the pool too. It will save you a lot of time and trouble keeping it clean. Another trick it to make a "bottom drain" by using a 3x3x2" or 3x3x1 1/2" PVC tee with PVC drain grates glued into each 3" end and a hoe barb fitting in the small hole. You can then connect this to the inlet and pull water from the bottom which works better for opening the pool. Once it is clear you can probably just stick with the skimmer for the season.

Intex 15-Foot-by-42-Inch Family Size Round Metal Frame Pool Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pool is fantastic. I had two other wet set models but had problems with leveling and the sides crashing in when a few kids get rowdy. The metal frame is very strong and holds up well even if your ground has a slight slant. I found it very easy to put up (about an hour). The filter could be better but it does the trick. My son and I are in the pool daily and love it!
