Pros & Cons
Pros
This item is easier to setup than the previous. My grandchildren love it. The pool is sturdy and stood up well all year.
It’s really quite big for a starter pool. The pool is a good size for my 2 year old grandson. Perfect size formy 3 year old granddaughter.
Aquarium pump has metal rod that fits 4 adult size pool floats. Floating chlorine dispenser and clarifying tablet dispenser.
Cons
Intex pool liner comes with a hole in the bottom lining. Filled the pool and came out to a puddle of water. Couldn't find the leak. Liner is clearly defective.
The material is thin, and flimsy. The supplied pump is garbage. This is absolutely disappointing for a brand new, never used pool.
Highlights
Quality
Cargo straps that you use in trucks with the rachet tightening mechanism!
We came up with the perfect solution for windy areas such as ours.
So looking back, i would recommend to invest in better product.
He can walk around with the water level not even up to his neck.
Price
However, after purchasing this pool twice because the price was right at that time, the pump ( second one) breaks down in one month!
Packaging/appearance
We have gone through multiple pools from this company just to have them leak right out of the box.
I filled it all the way up then noticed a small pinhole, which was frustrating right out of the box.
Competitiveness
I added an intex waterfall and i could stay out there all day relaxing in the sun!
This was a replacement for my previous intex 12'x30 that i had for probably 11 or 12 years.
I had ordered a better intex pump c1000 which was great till it quit working.
I purchased another intex cover only the 16 foot round so we had more to work with and strap down.
