Just bought a second one to put away for when this one poops out. Our toddler can't get enough. It's HUGE.

Fast and fun! Too fast for a pool. Has to hit full speed and plane out to make a tight turn. Can't do that in most pools. It's awesome!

This pool is the perfect pool to beat the Summer heat in Texas. Ours is nicely shaded under a tree this go round. The last one I had years ago was out in the open sun and it would turn into a hot tub some days. There was a teeny tiny pin prick of a hole in ours on the side but nothing a little patch wouldn't fix. I'll be honest and say, I don't have kids, but it's perfect for even adults who want to get in and just lounge out. I'd say it comfortably fits about 4 floaties. It'd hold quite a few adults who want to just sit, drink and cool off. All in all, you can't go wrong with this one. I wish they made it as 18ft x 52in but if they do, I couldn't find it. So this one still gets the job done. Oh! And I'm even able to do some underwater laps for some added cardio and exercise. Then again, I'm only 5'3''.

The Speedo Solar's are the best they make.  Great for laps.  And I love the new heather grey color.  Fits as expected.  I have 8 of these suits.  They are by far my favorites for the pool and sunning in the yard.

Great pool with an upgraded sand filter. This is the best pool value around. Slight problem with ordering was immediately resolved by CS.

Awesommmmmmmmmmeeeeee! Love this. We love it. It's the one item that we keep in the pool to make sure we can take full advantage of throwing it.

This is our 3rd pool in about 15 years.  We absolutely love them..  They are fairly easy to set up..  Just need to make sure the spot you set up on is level.  They are quite easy to maintain.  The kids have a blast in it all summer long.  Only reason we have had to replace them is that over time the sun causes them to become a little stiff and start to develop holes which are easy to patch but we felt we had patched enough holes last year and it was time for a new one.  We upgraded to a 4ft this year and its perfect.

Hayward makes the best pool equipment. The mounting versatility of this pump and 2 speed operation make it one of the best.

If you want the very best product on the market, this is the one to get.  Don't be fooled by imitators that provide floats that are three quarters of an inch thinner:  these foam pool floats are of the exact quality that you will find at the finest hotels around the world.  I have had numerous pool floats over the years.  These are the very best by far.

No, they're not going to support a 380 pound person.  No, they don't have cup holders or a built in ice bucket.  But if you want a pool float that will provide stability and comfort to the average sized adult, and will even allow an adult and a smaller child to comfortably lounge together, this is the product to get.  In the end, you usually get what you pay for.  The very reasonable selling price for these will give you a far better multi-year experience than spending less for an inferior float.

What great fun it has been for the kids and even the adults!  This pool has served us well.  We live in a hot climate and often have 100 degree temps.  We have not had any problems with this pool and are quite pleased with it!!

Believe me, it is very refreshing on a hot day and I do not feel silly in this pool.  We cannot have an inground here d/t underground utilites and d/t association rules, cannot have a large above ground either so this "kiddie pool" has been the answer, at least for now!!

I set this pool up every spring, all by myself.  I am a 5'2" woman.  No problems.  It is very easy.  However, I do have help lifting the folded pool back onto the "pool area" of our yard because it is too heavy for me to lift alone but not so heavy to spread out and remove the wrinkles.  We clean and store it for the off-season.

We started out with the 12 x 36 pool but felt we needed a bigger size and the following year purchased the 15 x 42 and it was just that much better for us.  We are considering the 18 foot model if and when this one gives out.  This one has lasted 4 years thus far and has been a decent size for us.  I can easily exercise in this one while my children swim around.

The ground cloth has suffered some accidental shredding from the mower but we have never landscaped the area off like we should have.

The pool ring was punctured by some kids (4-5 random pin holes).  The patch kits repaired it beautifully. Finding the holes was my real challenge.  I found some dark blue duct tape that blended well with the ring color so I made little taped covers for additional protection over the patched areas.  Not sure that I needed to do that but it came to me when I saw the tape in the store...  You can see the little taped areas but they don't really stand out and the duct tape has stayed put, even in this heat.

The pump still works fine.  The ladder is showing slight rust around some of the screws.  I would like to see wider ladders with platforms but for the low price of these pools, I doubt they'll get fancier within the pool package and thus, will need to purchase a ladder on our own.  BTW-those cost more than these pools do, so what a steal the pool packages are!

The first year I had the pool ever-so-slightly off level.  My child leaned on the side and the water gushed out along with my child - who thought it was so much fun, he wanted to do it again!  I think that was my fault (not level) and obviously, he was not hurt.  We lost a LOT of water but the plants and grass slurped it up!  I turned off the sprinklers for a few days just in case the ground was over saturated but the ground did not stay wet past that same evening so not sure I needed to do that. The homes here are close together and if any water went to the neighboring yard, they never said a word.  I doubt it was even noticeable but if so, more than likely appreciated since they have lots of landscaping.

I then drained and re-leveled the pool.  All was fine thereafter.

Now, into the fourth year, it is still a fun time for the kids and going strong.  The water stays sparkling clean.  I use the net in there quite often and that helps.  This has been our best summer, not having to re-fill the pool d/t dirty water but I suppose we have learned how to maintain this pool by now since every year gets easier. I use the chlorine tabs in a floater and if we get build up on the bottom we just use a piece of hose cut from an old one and syphon that out (very fast method).

We are very pleased with this one!  I hope that if we upgrade, we do not get a lemon like the customer who had the seems split apart, wow!

Here, a pool ticket for the family for one season costs more than the pool so we have definitely made out!

Simply love it.

We live in Las Vegas and have a mix of very fine sand/dirt along with small to large (Magnolia tree) leaves.  We have had this robot for 2 months now and run it nearly every day - some days we run a couple of cycles due to wind storms. It works beautifully and does a great job cleaning our pool.  It has even helped to reduce the amount of algae from our pool without having to use shock.  I am still amazed at how much junk comes out when I clean the filters.  (We only use the fine filters)  It does pretty well climbing the walls, will attempt most of our stairs and cleans our swim deck too. Thanks to this little guy we spend less than 15 minutes a week on the pool and it is sparkling clean.  Not to mention that it saves us having to spend as much time cleaning our main pool filters.  I may never have to vacuum the pool again!

As other reviewers have mentioned, it does drain some dirty water back into the pool when you pull the unit out of the water.  This seems to plague most robots, so I figure it's no better or worse than the competition.  To avoid this, I simply pull the unit out of the water as quickly as possible and find that only a small amount of dirty water drains backs into the pool.

There are a couple of spots that the cleaner doesn't do well - mainly in a corner of the pool where we have a bunch of stairs & benches.  The manual control for spot cleaning is a bit of a let down.  If you are patient, it kind of works.  But it's difficult to control which means I prefer to grab the brush and hit the spots manually.

Note that a benefit of the Pentair over the Dolphin line is that Pentair will warranty this item even when ordered via the internet (whereas Dolphin warranty would be void when ordered online).

It may not be perfect, but it's damn good.  We would absolutely buy again.

Had reservations about this system. Best thing I ever did. Any idiot could operate this with the correct amount of salt. No much better to swim in.
16x42 pool and filter runs 6 hours a day to keep it crystal clear!

I'm a landlocked beach girl and I can't tell you how much I love my new pool!!! It's generous in size and I love the bench and backrest. It was easy to inflate with my electric pump (which I already had) and the drain is really handy. The only con is that the cup holders are more oblong than round which isn't ideal, but the cup holder isn't that important to me anyway. I've been using my new pool every weekend since I bought it. My only regret is that I didn't buy this pool sooner!

We bought this pool last summer and loved it!  It's too hot here in Texas not to have a pool, but we just weren't ready to take the plunge (pardon the pun) on an inground just yet.  After looking around A LOT, we found the best price (including shipping) here on Amazon from In the Swim.  Easy install once the ground under it is level.  Salt-water system worked great.  Never had a problem with green water.  Stayed crystal clear.  Just takes 125 pounds of salt you can easily buy at Walmart.  You pour it right in the pool and it dissolves.  No chemicals to buy. No salt water taste or stickiness.  No burning your eyes or hair. It's like swimming in contact lens solution.  Comes with all the tools you need to keep it clean.  Other reviewers are spot-on that you will want to get a different ladder.  We're in a subdivision with 5-10 acre tracts, so nobody is right up close to it when they drive by, but we have had a number of inquiries and compliments from the neighbors on our "wood" pool.  It's not wood, but it sure looks like it from a distance.  Easy disassemble for the winter.  It's packed away right now awaiting spring.  Just took a couple hours one afternoon to pack up.  May not ever buy an inground---it's January as I write this and I have no pool to clean or make payments on!!

This pool is great, two adults can sit, and my 2 year old grandson plays right besides up.  You can lounge and have a drink and just enjoy.  Easy to blow up and fill, and then just relax.
