I have purchased this item twice in the past. the first time everything was perfect. the second time, one of the hoses was missing. the third time, one of the hoses plus the pump was missing. I was told by the seller that the pump doesn't come with the item, which I know is not true, since I have ordered in the past, and it always has a pump. it even shows a pump on the front of the package. it even had hoses for the pump. so why, if no pump is included, then there are hoses?
It's a great product otherwise. but be aware that the item has had missing items over the course of the last two purchases(since 2024/25-2026) I've made with them. Whoever is in charge of the warehouse or whoever is doing packaging needs to get their story straight. I was refunded for the pump, thankfully. However, unfortunately, I have to find a pump elsewhere now. so I'm going to go dig into my trash and see if the old pump is in there since I recently threw out the previous pool(it got a hole from my agave). the only other thing I have to say, is that it's extremely difficult to disassemble the product, so it's probably a good idea to get a pool cover and just keep it going all year round. But like I said, it's a great pool and me and my kids, who are teenagers, now love having it. but I might consider purchasing from another company in the future.
