10ft x 30in Quick Set Inflatable Above Ground Pool with Filter Pump

First off I had a HORRIBLE situation with the first one of these I received. I didn't read all the negative reviews until AFTER the first pool had arrived. The #1 thing to remember IS TO ONLY ORDER THIS PRODUCT FROM A SELLER THAT IS "FULFILLED BY AMAZON". Non-Amazon fulfillment NULLIFIES your manufacturer's 90-day warranty because the little nobody-sellers aren't authorized resellers for Polygroup; you will ONLY have your Amazon A-Z satisfaction warranty - after that NOTHING. As far as the pictures of people with un-round, lopsided and mis-shapen pools - that's all 100% user-error. I did what you're not supposed to - I setup on sandy soil topped with landscaping gravel AND MY POOL IS 100% PERFECTLY ROUND. Wanna know the secret? Take a tape measure and mark out 10' from the center of where you want it then use a 4' level to "rake" the ground radially from the center point around the entire radius of the pool area until its level. Oh and throw a $3 tarp from Harbor Freight under it. THAT'S IT, THAT'S THE BIG SECRET. You can use household bleach as chlorine in your small pool; it actually works better than tablets. Initial treatment is 4oz per 1000 gal, which raises chlorine to 2ppm (the desired chlorine level for a pool is between 1-3ppm). After the initial treatment you're going to have to start using test strips to see how much to add and when you need to add it. Household bleach is the SAME THING as liquid pool chlorine, but at half the strength. The cover that they sell specifically for this pool fits and looks great. USE IT if you don't want the sun to burn and ruin the inflatable ring on the pool. Assume your going to buy a new cover every year because of the sun damage. Also remember to leave the the inflated ring a little under inflated initially. You want to inflated to proper tightness WHEN THE HEAT AND SUN IS AT ITS PEAK. This is to avoid "blowing out" the inflated ring due to increase in air pressure due to thermal expansion - common sense, right? Finally, don't be shy about spraying this thing down with Armor All - its equivalent to SPF 40 protection for the vinyl - if you want this thing to last you'll keep it coated with something to cut down on the damage caused by the ever-present sun. The filter is straightforward and SILENT and it moves a respectable volume of water - sufficient to circulate the water in this size pool

Just got it today, 2 days sooner than the earliest estimate. It beat the additions I ordered for it, lol. Set it up and it's about half full. So far, no leaks. Set up was relatively simple. Though it does take a bit of muscle to lift the wrinkles out as it's filling. I did as suggested, and when it was about 1/4 full (maybe a little less) I went around and lifted and manipulated it to ease out the wrinkles. It took some doing, and a lot of back and forth. I worked it like changing a tire, opposing sides, back and forth. Pump was easy to install, everything was pretty cut and dry. It seems well built, relatively easy to set up (muscle helps), is of a decent size for relaxing and letting the little ones have some cooling, summer fun. I caught it when the price had dropped, snagged it quick, and the price had almost doubled by the next day. The price does seem to fluctuate, surfing the different sellers could catch the better deal. Overall, very pleased with this purchase at this point in time. Edit: Used it all last summer, with no trouble. We drained and rolled it up, like a burrito, for winter storage. We were able the pool into a large lawn bag without difficulty, though it was a 2 person job. We had no leaks, no trouble at all. The pump is the only thing to complain about, though for the price, we knew it wasn't a great pump. The pump still did the job. Cleaning the filter was an issue, the pump didn't want to deal back up after opening it for the filter. We smeared Vaseline around the seal and fixed that issue. This year, we decided to pay for a better pump. Looking forward to when we can enjoy it again this summer.

Edit: I'm changing my 1 star review to 4 starts for the following reasons. 1) Of the 6 leaks I found on the first use I figured out that I caused 3 of them and the ones on the seam from the factory had a very, very slow leak rate... But this is the most important part of my review: Do not set up the pool on cement. Specially on new driveways! Cement is very porous and will scrape anything you drag on it (ask my kids' knees and elbows). even though I thought I was being very careful to not drag this on the cement as I set it up, it seems I was not careful enough, I would just avoid setting up the pool on cement completely. My solution is gym mats. Get enough to cover 10x10 area and set up the pool on top of those. 2) even though I was upset about finding the leaks I decided to finish filling the pool because the boys were way too psyched about their activity the next day and so I filled it and the next day they had an absolute blast! 6 kids total in the pool which seemed tight but they didn't mind at all. Original review: Easy to assemble? Yes Value for money? For the price, you would think it's good, if it wasn't for the next questions. Durability? 6 pinholes leaking water off the bat. I opened the box where I was going to place the pool, I infolded it, stretched it out and started to fill, all on the same spot. Immediately found 2 pinholes leaking drops of water. Already had an activity planned for the next day so I thought fill the pool, deal with the return later. By the time the pool was halfway filled I found 4 more pinholes leaking water, drop by drop. All the pinholes are on or very close to the bottom seam. I'm returning this one but really having second thoughts about getting a replacement.

This product is great! Received quickly new abd in the original box. We followed the instructions carefully, it is important to make sure you have level ground. Our yard isn't exactly level but very close. We also put down some groubd tarps. We used a compressor to inflate.. Don't rush the setup, take your time make sure to smooth things out as it fills. A little water weighs alot! Lay everything out before filling and confirm it is a round shape. Fill with just about an inch to give it shape turn the hose off and climb in and push the light blue floor to the edges like pizza dough in a pan until the floor is smooth and wrinkle free. Then turn on the hose and continue filling. Don't attempt to move it around once you got even a little water in it.. you might bust a seam. It is better to drain and then restart the process. We are very happy with the end resultt. The water level is just under waist high and I am a 5'9" adult. The pump functions very well and is quiet. One thing we forgot to do is remove the inlet cap.. we figured it out fast.. but make sure you remove it before starting the pump. Overall it isnt too hard to setup, yes they are more steps and it will take more than 10 minutes.. But this pool is reasonably sturdy, and a decent size for family fun. The product shipped very quickly and is exactly as described. A good add on purchase woukd be a pool cover.

This pool worked perfectly well till some animal decided to take a bite out of the inflated section. Since they inflated section gives the pool the ridgidity to keep the water in, it caused a lot of issues to repair and in the end, just didn't make it past 3 days. This is NOT a pool issue, it was an animal pest issue so i would recommend you be careful if you have a similar problem as the repair of the inflatable portion is very difficult. The filter worked perfectly, the instructions were clear (to me), and the whole setup worked well with little to no issues for me or the family. The filter worked well, the motor wasn't too loud and the water was filtered well. I would buy this again if I knew I had no pests coming into the yard.

Pool is easy to set-up. As big as we expected. Fonctions well. We got exactly what we expected. Better than nothing! all in all, we are happy with it. Regarding maintenance... not sure how to read and interpret - what to do to keep the water clear.... We have added chlorine....but do not understand the fonctions to take when reading the water analyses from the kit.

So, I spent a few hours and a few bags of dirt, sand, rolls of sod, before hand to ensure the ground underneath was level. I still eyeballed it so I do think there's a little bit of forgiveness. Anyway once pool arrived, setup was super easy, all posts on good condition, and it took over 2 hours to fill. My dog has jumped up/on/in/out a few times and the material has held up. Pump is quiet and water is still clear vi haven't put any chemicals yet. I thought the description says it comes with chemicals, but mine did not. Just the pump and pool. Very happy with this purchase as are my kids and puppy!

Your1supplier is a great company that fixes issues with customers to satisfaction. Our pool is great but the pump didn’t work. Your1supplier sent a replacement right away. I was so thankful. The summer waves pool is perfect for our needs. Easy to maintain. Only wish I had bought a foot pump to blow it up, mine was subpar.
