Coleman Power Steel 26' x 52" Frame Swimming Pool Set

We've had our pool up for a second year now in sunny, hot and humid Mississippi and love it. We don't have to take it down here, though algae filled the pool during winter and we had to empty and refill. Initial assembly was a bit difficult to set up, especially since we had to take it down when it wasn't exactly leveled out the first time. It all fits together nice and tight, which means you definitely need at least two people to put it together. We did purchase a skimmer for it and a pool liner pad to put it on. We also set out two heavy duty tarps underneath the liner pad to protect from weeds. Despite our high humidity here, there is no rust anywhere on it yet. This is our third chlorine pool. We're not pool experts, but we are familiar with pools now having owned three different kinds: metal, inflatable and now this one. Follow the assembly directions, watch the instructional DVD, set up and follow your pool maintenance schedule and enjoy your pool. There's nothing more to it. Do some research on pool maintenance. Some people have complained about the pool. Can't understand why. Is it a $2,000 swimming pool? No. Does it do the job? Yes. We found that once we put a skimmer on the pool, the filter works better and does the job. Overall, for the price, you can't beat what you get. And if you live in a warmer climate, such as southern California or down south, you don't even have to take it down. Last year we began swimming in Mid-May and didn't stop until mid-November: all without a heater.

I have used my Coleman 26' x 52" pool for the past 3 years. The first year my metal rusted but Coleman sent me an entire new frame after I contacted them with photos. The replacement frame is holding up really well. The original liner is still doing great. Definitely plan to buy an upgraded sand filter...that cartridge filter system is a HUGE pain and doesn't work well. Once I upgraded to a sand filter with salt water system AND bought a little robot vacuum (self-filtering-on Amazon) so that I don't have to manually vacuum the pool I became a happy owner! Coleman customer service was truly wonderful to work with.

This is a great pool but yes filter is less than desirable, watched a YouTube video and went to eBay bought new skimmer for 20 bucks and a new sand filter and pump for 116.00 bucks delivered, took 30 min. to install. Now water is super clean, also bought hose and vacuum for 60 buck at Lowes now I can vacuum and backwash pool. I suggest the upgrades but still a great value for the money.

Huge, kids love it. It does have a cheap filter setup, but what do you expect. I did read other reviews and said it didn't attach to the Intex sand filter, we had no problems attaching it works great no extra parts to get. I don't like how it doesn't have a turn off for the hoses though, poor design there. It was easy up a lot of legs to hold the weight, and no problems so far, had it up for 5 days. If something changes I'll redo my review.

Purchased this Coleman 26' pool due to the low price and understood the need to upgrade the filter/pump. Most important is the prep work to ensure that the ground is level and smooth. Due to some earlier reviews of pools like this one of tubes rusting the first season, I sprayed the inside of all metal tubes and fittings with some corrosion inhibitor for added protection, cheap insurance seeing we are using a salt/chlorine generator on this pool. The included directions/ picto-grams absolutely are terrible. Make sure you read all the different instructions for the pool and the filter unit before starting. Take time in smoothing the floor as you fill it and stop filling until it is smooth if you want it to last. Once filled it is excellent pool. Definitely needs a better filter/pump unit to maintain this pool, most pool experts preach go "Big" on the filter/pump. Have purchased a thru the wall skimmer to install when I drain down this fall and prep for winter. A pool this size really needs a skimmer due to the surface area for debris to land on. The floor vacuum that came with it also leave some room for improvement. I did call for a service question as the is only one shut off valve when cleaning/replacing the filter. You have to insert the plugs back into the inlets to stop the water flow, poor design, needs another valve outside of the pool. I have read some reviews saying pay more for the other brand 26' pools and already get a better filter setup, but even those filter units are marginal if you research what it takes to keep pools this size clean and lower your labor time.

I saved for 2 years to buy my family this pool I spent just shy of $900 on it and we only had it up bout 3 weeks and we have 11 poles bent I found replacement poles that is going to cost little over $400 and that don't include shipping and handling and the water bill spent to fill it the first time and we have to take it down before it falls so not right so miss led

No, we have nothing but trouble, we purchased the extended warranty which cost is $60 which is a huge joke because when you go to file a claim they make excuses why is not covered under the warranty but if you want to purchase a new pool it will be covered under the same warranty no thank you I will never be guilty of buying a Coleman pool or anything with Coleman name on it is burnt me to the Core I have no use for Coleman pool or any of the product they may put their name on customer service is horrible also

This was the worst investment ever. I purchased this so called pool only to get home and have no pool, vertical poles or top rails in the box. The only thing in the box was the pump, ladder set, ground cover, pool cover, and the T's. I was having a house built at the time of purchase so I wasn't able to install the pool. I called Walmnart and Bestway. The manager at Walmart was very helpful. Bestway was the worst ever. Needless too say they told me if I get any parts I would have to buy them. Pretty much I was sold a box of accessories for $500.

Pool is very cheap due to the high price could be better quality of products pump,pool cover also the stranth of the frame. I had this pool 3 weeks and already filled it 2 times and looking to repeat my self as soon as I get my 150 water bill down. Due to the cover not staying on and the pump not working well on this super big pool it gets really dirty fast and cloudy I tried pulling the cover titter to hold and the string got lost in the slot. I really don't care to continue to full with this pool trying to make my kids happy n I'm making my self crazy dealing with it so so much work trying to make the best of it but already frame is bent on two bars I wish I could just get my money back.

I bought this pool thinking what a great value...boy was I wrong. From the pool, filter, set up, customer service, etc...I would give it a negative five. There is no way to attach hose to vacuum or a basket for catching debris. Once you remove the filter it's nearly impossible to get the top back on so a good portion of all that money spent filling it has ran out of the pool. Set up instructions are in 3 different books including set up for a bubble top pool. Calling customer service, thats a joke. They are very rude and no help what so ever. Ive always had an intex pool and when this goes bad i will go back with an intex. Needless to say I am very disappointed with this product and I do not recommend to anyone.
