INTEX Ultra XTR 20ft x 48in Round Above Ground Swimming Pool Set w/Pump

We bought the 14' pool. I have had no problem with the filter being adequate. Our water is clear. We did also purchase the intex salt water chlorine generator - that is how we are keeping our pool sanitized.We started out with water sourced from our city water company - not well water. I think that was a good starting point. We also pretty much always keep it covered with a solar water cover. Sometimes we have to take the cover off if it's a bunch of hot days in a row - the water got to almost hot tub level once! It was 96 degrees! But I do think keeping a cover on helps tremendously, whether it's solar or the one that came with the pool. We were expecting a ton of rain and storms, so we did put the cover that came with the pool on when that weather came through so that less rain water would get in the pool. Obviously keeping the pool covered keeps bugs and birds and leaves and things out of the pool. So that helps keep the pool clean and clear.I've enjoyed testing the water and then getting the right chemicals to make it right. I don't need for it to be perfect, but I think it has helped to keep the pool water clear. People who complain about the pump being inadequate - I think they are expecting the pump to do what regular pool maintenance should be doing. I vacuum the pool once a week - sometimes more if I want to. I just bought a small pool vacuum at Lowe's. And I use a leaf skimmer on a pole to skim off bugs and things off the top of the pool. I have to do that when I take the solar cover off because it's hard to take it off perfectly without getting some of the things on the top of the cover into the pool. I do hose the ladder and the outside of the pool off once a week, but that's because I read that can be helpful in preventing corrosion from having a salt water pool.It's been cool this week, and I've kept the ladder out since I last hosed it off since we probably won't be getting in again until the weekend.We went with buying this pool instead of doing a pool membership. So far it will pay for itself in 2 years. Has been so nice to get home, throw my suit on, and float outside for 30 minutes while the sun is still shining.I have doing some actual swimming in the pool also. It's just great.Was easy to put together with two people.Prep to make the ground even is a chore, but that is just what it is. We will probably take it down this year so we can improve some spots that are still uneven.We are a family of five, and this pool is a good starting size. Two or three adults/teenagers can float and my 11 year old can splash and dive around to her heart's content.My daughter had her 11th birthday party, and her friends spent hours in the pool! There were six girls and it was perfect.

This pool has exceeded my expectations. The construction feels strong and durable, and the size is perfect for family fun and relaxation. The included sand filter pump does an excellent job keeping the water clean and clear, and the additional accessories make setup and maintenance much easier. Assembly was straightforward with clear instructions, and everything arrived as described. Overall, this is a high-quality pool that offers outstanding value for the price.”Pros:* Sturdy and durable frame* Spacious and comfortable* Efficient sand filter system* Easy to assemble and maintain* Great value for the moneyI would highly recommend this pool to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable above-ground pool.

I was nervous to upgrade our 12x30 Intex pool to the larger one because it seemed like it would be way more maintenance, but I have zero regrets! We went with the 16x48 and it was larger than I was expecting. We do have a smaller yard, so I think the size perception would vary depending on the yard size you're putting it in. I would've gone with the 14x42 but we wanted the extra depth that this one had.Assembly and setup of the actual pool was the easy part, the more time consuming part was leveling our ground which took a few days. We rented a sod remover, then leveled the ground using sand to fill in. Based on some youtube videos we watched, we used foam insulation board as a base instead of using the ground cover it came with. This of course added time and money to the setup, but in the end was well worth it. The floor of the pool now feels comfortable and smooth with no rocks or anything poking through, and I think it actually helps keep the water warmer too.Once the ground was all ready, the pool went up and filled up quite fast. We used two hoses to fill and it took about 8 hours to fill completely. Filter works great as long as you routinely backwash it as you're supposed to. Water maintenance is basically the same as our smaller pool, chlorine and baking soda and it's been crystal clear all summer. We finished the border of the pool with river rock and belgian blocks, added LED lights all around for nighttime ambiance.My only gripe about the set is the ladder it came with, which we will replace with a better one next summer. The ladder is fine for kids, but a bit terrifying for larger adults as it wobbles and is very steep climbing out of. The pool is very solid too, it would take a lot to tip it. Overall, we've enjoyed this pool all summer, and look forward to using it for summers to come!

The pool was incredibly easy to set up, but the top ring was a bear to fully clip together. They really mean it when they say put it on a perfectly flat surface - I was off by a couple inches and it led to some pretty shaky whirlpools.Overall this is a good buy, but I would always wait for it to go on sale. For instance, we bought for $1300 and then it dropped to $600, which was obviously disappointing. You also CANNOT leave this up during the winter. Yes, they tell you that, but don’t feel like you can get away with it in the north, trust me.Four stars because of the pricing inconsistency and and the cheap ladder.

We are still enjoying this pool for several years. It is made well and holds up well.

As a long-time Prime member, I have always valued the convenience and reliability of shopping on Amazon. However, I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the product I recently purchased through a third-party seller on Amazon. The pool I bought less than a year ago has broken into four separate areas, despite being under a one-year warranty.I am appalled by the lack of quality in the product and even more frustrated by the run-around I am receiving in trying to get replacement parts. I was informed that only a limited number of parts could be replaced under the warranty, requiring me to purchase the rest.This is unacceptable and goes against what was promised at the time of purchase. I expect a resolution to this issue and for the manufacturer to honor the one-year warranty as advertised.I had purchased additional insurance through Amazon to cover such issues, but when I reached out for assistance, I was told that the manufacturer's warranty only covers certain parts. I am disappointed by the lack of assistance provided despite having both warranties in place.I am have reached out to see if there is any way for Amazon to help resolve this matter or provide further assistance. I was told I would have to ship back the broken product which is going to cost me almost $200 in shipping in order for me to either get a refund or for them to resolve the issue.

This is an easy to set up pool - ground prep takes some work. I upgraded the filter to the SX2800 because the one this kit comes with is smaller. I just bought this pool a few weeks ago. Haven’t even used it yet and there’s a small hole in the liner. I had to buy patches to try and repair it but the water still seeps through.

I ordered the pool back in April. Waited about a couple of weeks and never received it. When I raised the issue to the seller, he immediately offered my money back or a replacement pool. Very courteous and amazing customer service. The pool arrived quickly and we had time to set it up 2 weeks ago. What great fun and easy to put it together. It’s true it takes about an hour to set it up. Now my family enjoys it every day. The pump works great. The pool is solid. Great purchase, quality and the seller is also very accommodating and understanding. A+++++

Pool is great , solid! Pump sucks!! Comes with SX925 pump. Pump was leaking right out of the box.

Ordered and received this pool pretty quickly . Leveled the ground and put the pool the pool together and started to fill it up and noticed water pooling on the side from underneath the pool . We continued to fill it cause we thought it was just from the pump . Nope ! We then drained it and trried to find out where the leak is coming from . We proceeded to seal the the seams with flex tape and the filled the pool again and we had the same issue . So, the leak is not on the seams it is somewhere else . Spoke with the company and they won’t send me a new pool unless I dismantle this one and send it back in perfect condition . Well it leaks and now has flex tape on it so it’s not in perfect condition . Still trying to figure out what to do .Unhappy customer

Pool itself is more or less fine. Just note - there is NO SAND for the filter included - have to buy separately, also make sure you find perdect spot for the pump as hoses are really short, need to be precise with location. Also need additional support for the connectors on the pool wall, heavy hoses full of water rend to rip out the connections

This is our 2nd Intex pool. The first one lasted us 7 years and would have gone longer, but I didn't build my pad properly or use a ground covering, so we ended up getting tear in the bottom. We patched it with no problem, but I just wanted to upgrade. Super easy set up and I love the sand filter. The only disappointment is that the ladder doesn't have a platform like my other pool, so I'm not able to put drinks or my phone on the platform and had to buy a little table that sits on the side of the pool, which is no big deal. I'll always buy Intex pools until we buy or build a house with a permanent pool 😊
