Intex Above-Ground Swimming Pool, Rectangular Frame 8.5ft x 26in, Ages 6 and Up

It was a little more difficult to put together than we expected, but next year will be a breeze. Love it perfect size, length, width and depth. Just got it set up today.

This is our second time we’ve purchased this pool. The last one lasted for over 6 years and couldn’t be more pleased with it. Easily assembled, pump assembly is very easy to hook up and has lasted throughout the pools life. I highly recommend this pool for younger kids or older adults such as myself and my wife. We would get in several times a week to cool off after working in the yard or to just relax.

In Love with my new pool! Kid friendly pool and can fit the whole family, around 6 adults. Beware to by filter pump otherwise the water in the pool will get full of algae.

The pool is perfect. It only took us about 30 minutes to put it together. I would 100% recommend it,

Excellent pool for small kids (0-6/7). We had this pool for four years before one of the top frame rails rusted and split. It saw a lot of use with three busy kids. The liner outlasted the frame! Given the price it’s an excellent value. I recommend going with the bigger Intex 1000 gph pump so you’re not cleaning/switching cartridges every day. (Maybe every other? 😆) We like low maintenance here.When the frame split we used on the round inflatable-top 10’ pools. Do not recommend. It last a week even with patch repair.Now that the kids are getting bigger we’re upgrading to the Intex 14.75' x 33" Rectangular Frame pool and using a sand filter pump.

So far we love it. Got it for our young kids 5-9 years and it's perfect. It's also sturdy, i can leave the kids to play without worrying about it falling apart. Great buy. Don't forget the filter, it's separate.

This pool purchase on Amazon turned into a nightmare from day one. The product arrived damaged out of the box, and the seller’s support was unhelpful, dismissive, and downright dishonest throughout the ordeal. Here is my honest experience – I hope it warns others before they make the same mistake.Damaged Right Out of the BoxMy excitement quickly turned into disappointment when I set up the pool and immediately found it leaking water. A brand-new pool shouldn’t have holes, but that’s exactly what I got. The small patch kit included was useless against the leak. I initially gave the seller the benefit of the doubt – instead of demanding an immediate return, I asked for a better patch kit or a solution to fix the defect. No brand-new product should require repairs on day one, but I was willing to try since returning a large pool is a huge hassle.Customer Service: Broken Promises and LiesAt first, the seller responded in a way that gave me hope. They promised to send a replacement pool without requiring me to return the damaged one. This was a relief – re-boxing a large, wet pool and shipping it back is nearly impossible for a customer. Unfortunately, that initial promise turned out to be a lie. Soon after, the seller backtracked on their word and insisted I return the original defective pool before they would ship a replacement.I was stunned by this reversal. I had explicitly explained to the seller that returning this pool would be extremely difficult for me, yet they didn’t seem to care. Their about-face felt like a classic bait-and-switch: tell the customer what they want to hear, then change the terms later. It’s incredibly frustrating and dishonest to promise a hassle-free resolution and then pull it away like that.Return Process: An Impossible OrdealOnce the seller demanded a return, the situation went from bad to absurd. I tried to comply, but returning a large above-ground pool is not a simple task. I faced multiple obstacles that the seller completely ignored or dismissed:• Re-boxing Nightmare: The pool was out of its original packaging and fully assembled with 50% water when I discovered the defect. It would be impossible to stuff it back into the torn packaging it came in. The seller didn’t offer any assistance or alternative solution for packing this huge, wet, unwieldy item.• No Printer for Labels: I don’t own a printer, which I told the seller. They promised that a shipping company would handle the return for free. This is obviously false. Instead, they emailed me a FedEx return label – which I could not print at home. So much for “the shipping company will handle it.”In short, the seller’s “solution” to their defective product was practically impossible for a customer to carry out. They either didn’t understand or didn’t care about how unrealistic their return demands were. Their claim that a shipping company would handle everything was completely misleading – ultimately I am left on my own with a useless pool and an unworkable return process.Compensation: Too Little, Too LateAfter all this back-and-forth, the seller tried to placate me with a token gesture. They initially offered a measly $38 refund for my “inconvenience” However I had spent money to fill the pool with water, only to watch it all leak out due to the defect. I explicitly asked the seller to reimburse me for the wasted water (a significant added cost on my utility bill), but they completely ignored this request.• $38 doesn’t come close to covering the time, effort, and frustration I went through, nor the actual cost of the lost water and potential supplies trying to fix the leak. It felt like a brush-off, not a genuine attempt to make things right.The seller’s dismissive attitude was clear: they wanted to do the bare minimum to avoid trouble, rather than take responsibility for selling a faulty product. I never received the full replacement pool I was promised, and I’m essentially stuck with a defective pool unless I can miraculously return it under the impossible conditions they set. The $38 “compensation” offer also went out the window and apparently came off the table.Conclusion: Avoid This Product and SellerThis experience was infuriating and deeply disappointing. Not only did I receive a defective Intex pool that I couldn’t even enjoy for a single day, but I was also subjected to deceptive customer service from the seller on Amazon. They lied about sending a replacement, misled me about the return process, and offered and rescinded a paltry compensation that didn’t begin to cover my losses. Throughout the process, I felt unheard, disrespected, and essentially tricked.Bottom line: Avoid this pool and be wary of this seller. A pool is supposed to provide fun and relaxation, but this one only gave me headaches and expenses. I wish I had never purchased it. Save yourself the money, time, and aggravation – do not buy this product, and think twice about buying any large item from a seller who doesn’t stand by their word. This was easily one of the worst purchase experiences I’ve ever had, and I hope my honest review spares someone else from the same nightmare.

Love it. The pool actually arrived 2days after ordering it!
