Bestway Steel Pro Max Above Ground Pool Set - Pump Ladder Cover - 18x48 in

Great!!! It was exactly what we expected. I read the reviews before purchasing and knew it didn't come with a filter system/pump, a cover, or any pool tools. The price was right!!. Do not open box with sharp object. The pool does come with 3 holes for a filter and drain hole (plugs for holes are included for it and work great) so you can still fill the pool up with water. We purchased a 16'x20' tarp and set the pool up on solid concrete (as recommended or you can put the legs up on blocks). We also purchased a small sand filter/pump, a ladder, cover, net, and vacuum. We love using chlorine tablets (don't let it sit at bottom of pool or it will eat a hole in the liner) in the floating device (don't let kids sit on it in pool or it'll tear up the liner) we purchased separately and floating thermometer. We use alkaline stabilizer to keep the PH balance just right so the kids can open their eyes under water. We make sure no sharp objects (sharp toenails) or toys are in pool that can damage the lining. You can also add pool noodles (sliced open the long way) and put around the top bars because they do get hot in the sun. It's important to follow the directions and do your best to not have any wrinkles in the bottom of pool when you start to fill it. We had someone stand in it working the wrinkles out while another person grabbed the bottom outside of pool and pulled it tight. Do not over fill! Make sure to drain the pool in the winter and cover it so it'll last several years.

This is the first time we have had a pool and I was a little skeptical about how it would turn out. Thankfully, we love it! Set-up was relatively easy - we watched A LOT of videos. The instructions are merely "pointers" and are not very detailed. It took about 1 1/2 hrs to set up, and roughly 9 hours to fill. We were originally going to get a 13' x 30" but we're glad we got the 13' x 48". It's preferable for adults. The pool can fit 4 adults on floaties comfortably. The pump is not that great so we have upgraded it. All in all it's a great pool!

Great pool. Filter is crap but any above ground pool you get will not have a good filter so for that reason I'll give 4 stars instead of 5. We bought an amazing filter from a pool place and a skimmer from amazon and this pool has been a gem throughout the hot summer months.

It's a great pool for the price, however you still need buy a pump that can keep up with it. Also it is suggested that you use pavers to support the legs if you're assembling it on grass. If you do this make sure you buy a ladder Bigger than 48 inches.

this pool has a weak frame. the kids bent the top bar on second day. to make matters worse, after the pool has been up for a month and a half, the liner ripped.

This is a nice sized pool for the price, but unfortunately, it did not come with a pump or a ladder, which is my fault for not fully reading the description of whats include. I have never seen a pool of this soze evwr sold without those necessities, so i didn't even think to make sure it had them. Otherwise, for the pirce, it's a nice sized pool.

It's portrayed that there is no openings in the liner. Not true. There are 3.. the other issues I had a vertical post bent. This pool is correctly set up (I've had summer waves and intex in the past with no issues like this) yet one of the posts had to be replaced. Thankfully I found a replacement on eBay. I bought this pool because it was cheaper than the others and I didn't need a filter, ladder, skimmer, etc. BEWARE, there is a reason it's cheaper!!! Won't buy again. And if another post bends I'm draining it and returning it. The liner is good and putting it together was as simple as others like it. That's the only reason I gave it 2 stars.

Bought a couple months ago in advance to avoid supply issues. Just got warm enough to setup pool. Support posts look like they're from another model, not as pictured. Pool liner is leaking from seam. No pinholes. Water pooling on the tarp it was installed on. Not even half full. Really bummed. A lot of time and expensive water to pay for to watch leak all over ground. Tried to submit return from seller and get an "Sorry.. technical issues... Try again later." Walmart should not allow sellers to list items without recourse. Unless it's corrected, this will be my last purchase that's not directly from store.

I really thought this pool was going to be great. It was deep. It was spacious. It was a good size and it leaks leaks leaks leaks leaks. What a waste of water. I can't believe this. This is the complete nightmare pool scenario horrible. Do not recommend. I want a refund as soon as possible nightmare pool stay away . Now how do I put back into tiny box

Realized it's to big and have been trying to send back but no one gets back in touch with me. I did go ahead and bought a smaller one which is up and running. But I would love to get a refund on the other pool. I did contact the company who i bought it thur but haven't heard anything from them. Can you help?
