what is the life of the pool?

Our pool is in it's third summer and doing fine. The salt is wearing on the metal frame; I'm sure in a couple years it will need replacement. The motor is a different story. We have had a myriad of problems though I will say intex goes above and beyond at fixing the problem and making it right. They replace parts right away. Just make sure you have all your purchase info in a safe place; you'll use it! I would say though, Diana, at $750 this pool does pay for itself quick in terms of entertainment value.

Infortunately that seems to vary from owner to owner. I have researched articles on these pools and owners have had them for many summers. Mine lasted 2. They develop holes at the folded edges when packed away and stored. Mine got so many holes in the sides I got tired of patching them and threw it away after 2 summers.

Let me qualify my answer by saying that we live 1/2 block from the ocean and everything rusts quickly here. Ours was up year round and after four years the top rail was rusting out. The salt-water, chlorine-generator pumps lasted less than two years each running every day. The pattern faded in the liner but it was still OK. We replaced the pool last year with a solid-walled pool with resin rails and verticals.

it gets dirty quickly. Very heavy. I threw mine away..I don't recommend buying it, although it does heat the pool nicely.

My pool float has been outstanding with battery life, however the inside unit needs changed pretty often. I would change the inside unit batteries and then move the two units close together until they sync. This may help.

A one year warranty. I recently purchased my unit and I couldn't be happier. It does a great job on my pool and runs for a pre-scheduled amount of time. I am hoping that it continues to do so. The unit also climbs the walls to about two feet in height and has not had any problems navigating the stairs, or the drain cover, which rises about an inch above the bottom of my pool. I previously purchased a "jet" propelled Aquabot that was faster moving, but would always get caught up on the drain cover. I had to return it and buy this more expensive model. I am happy with it so far and with the warranty.

Mine is in use 3-5 hours per week for 5 months now. No problems, except user error when I forget to punch it promptly at the end of a lap which ruins the fastest-slowest lap feature for the swim.

I have a 5k gal pool and I run it 5 hrs daily, during the hottest part of the day, and have no problems. My sister has a much larger pool and she has to run hers 6 hrs daily. We also live in NE Florida where there is a lot of sun - so you have to keep that in mind too.

I bought mine for my kid brand new, once he jumped in the pool with his other one. Haven't had no problem with battery life. But you can take out the battery and buy another if needed. His battery lasts at least 3 days or more if not constantly on it. And I don't think they are making anymore probably just getting rid of what's left of them.

Ours only gets taken out of the pool when people want to swim so it doesn't get swamped and risk it sinking or to clean it about once or twice a week. We'll also take it out when we close the pool for winter but it will be covered then.

I did not use the noodle in a pool yet. Sorry I am able to answer your question.

I would say three weeks is the absolute maximum. And, depending on how long you run your pool and how hot it is, that may be stretching it.

I bought my most recent Hayward in June, had my previous one for 9 years. You can leave it in the pool all the time, just take it out when you are swimming so you don't crush the little guy! :)

While it's not the same model number as the one I have, it looks the same and has the same specs. I have no idea what horsepower the motor is, it's not listed anywhere. However it pumps 2000 gallons an hour. Mine is on a 22 ft X 52 inch 11,000 gallon pool and works fine. Runs 6 to 8 hours a day here in semi-tropical south Louisiana. Life expectancy here is 3 to 4 years.

I do laps with it and it has been fine. I am not in the water for 90 mins at a time but I do about 120 mins a week in the pool.

More than enough, my pool is a 48" deep, 20' long x 12' wide oval. It was great all summer long, very low maintenance

I have this as a gift to my nephew who has a pool. It is not that large of a pool. They have not used it yet, so I'm. Not sure

I'm not an expert, but that certainly sounds excessive. My Hayward is about 6 years old and I just replaced mine for the first time. I probably waited too long, so I'd say 4, maybe 5, years. Mine generally runs about 6 hours a day in a 35,000 gal. pool.

Its still running fine... don't remember when I bought it. At least a year ago. I love the system with the boost button. It will turn my pool from zero chlorine to normal overnight. I definitely would buy it again
