Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We've been intex easy set fans for several years. We moved into the metal frame model this summer. (04) First let me say we LOVE this company, this pool and we expect (based on previous experience with this type of product from this company) to get 3-4 years of use from this pool. I recommend it 98% (see full review for cavets) We are average people with an average yard with typical divets and uneven spaces. The easy set pools were a challenge to level. The Metal Frame model was much more forgiving of minor lawn issues. Set up was not a breeze...it took about 1 hour to define the site, make sure there were no rocks, pecan shells, etc on the site, just in general prepare the area. Once we got the ground cloth down (highly recommend) then set up moved more quickly, but (and perhaps we were being too anal about it) we were very particular in following the directions and making sure we were on course. SO an hour for actual setup of the pool frame. Filling the pool with the garden hose took about 14 hours...(we drained it once this season and we had a friend of ours who is a fireman come by with the fire truck and it was filled in about 8 minutes!). Once filled and properly treated (PLEASE do the research on keeping the pool sanitary, buy and monitor the chemicals closely, especially if there is heavy bather usage or small children) we were in and having TONS of fun. We are in this pool EVERY day (unless it is raining!). At night I take a break from it all and float and watch the stars. Now, about the filter system that comes with the pool. Intex has been disappointing on the filtration on both the easy set and the frame models. Personally I don't think the 1000 gal/hour filter has the umph to really circulate the water, so one side of the pool always ends up being the yucky side. I can test the water from several places and get different readings. But, if I get in and walk around in a circle a few times the readings are all consistient. We ended up getting the larger 3000 gal/hr filter and that has helped a great deal, but I imagine we will never get the water circulation we desire. The skimmer/filter element works amazingly well, but the benefit of having the surface debris removed has a cost to overall circulation. The "vaccum" that comes with the unit...worthless. Invest in the Waterpik model and you'll be done in 1/8 the time and with more efficiency. The ladder is rated for above 300lbs and we had a "large" friend test that and she felt very confident on the ladder. The cover is a major pain to use, we throw a beach ball in the center to help shed the rain, otherwise the rain just sits on top of the cover and when you remove the cover the rain and the debris all fall into the pool. Having the cover well elevated from the water surface, shedding the rain helps a great deal. If there is a lot of debris on the cover due to wind or rain we can easily hose that off onto the ground rather than it falling into the pool when the cover is removed.
