Bestway Oval Above Ground Pool Set (10' x 6'7" x 33")| Includes Filter Pump & ChemConnect Dispenser

This is pool season four- last year featured pool from the year before and it leaked badly all season but made it! I decided to move pool under patio and made a choice to downsize from last years 16 foot 42 inch round bag style pool- poleless. I was annoyed that no matter what I did getting it level was impossible three years in a row. Moved to a slab with a slight slope. That slope made a difference in water level lay. It is inconsequential. I bypass the filter with it and for year three our sand filter (if you do not have one and take proper care of your pool get one) will power it. Set up is crystal clear IF you read entire manual set- all of it. You have for this pool an A pole and D pole- there is a C, E, F- no other letters- THERE IS NO B POLE! Not for this size! You will swear you are missing poles you are not. Look at the diagram- it is tiny but vital!!! It shows pole layout labeled i will list it now: start with A add D to one end then another- then on both ends add F joint then a C pole then an E joint then C pole then E then C pole then F connects to D. Also - vital- do NOT put the four legs through the strap surrounding the pool look at the box! The legs cannot go through the straps and pool fills up all the way you will destroy it! Only the legs with feet go through the strap! It takes exactly seven hours to fill up. I timed it. You also must use shocker with this pool once a week you need a bromine tablet floater or chlorine tablet- bromine is less smell and good for small pools this pool says 1195 gallons at 90% capacity on the box. I bought it to crosstrain for surfing and will tether swim in it and kids swim daily. If you skip pool maintenance on these pools you will regret it. It so easy to do. This pool is a great value I bought it from amazon warehouse bargain price i cannot speak for it at full price.

I bought this pool in August 2021. My 8 year old dauhter and her friends love this pool. They have spent many a 8 hour+ days in there. Two to four of them have plenty of room to move around and even swim a couple of strokes before turning. If I get hot I'll join them for a little while.Safety: Never leave children unattended in the pool. NEVER. If I need to go inside they need to get out. When we are done the pool gets covered with heavy duty black tarp. The pool is fenced in. Research your local regulations. Apply sunscreen before you go outside and reapply throuhout the day.Setup: This pool filled weighs about 9,000 lbs. (about 2 SUVs) so you need a level 11' X 8' space that can accomodate that kind of weight. Most add a sand to a level piece off ground. I made a level surface stucture, put 1/2" plywood on it. Then an outdoor rug (so the bottom of the pool would not be hard) all covered with a heavy duty tarp. Once you have prepared a spot settting up the pool is simple. If you open the sleeves and put a little water in them the poles will slide inn easier. Spread out the bottom of the pool. When you get an inch of water in the pool my daughter gets in and finds any wrinkles on the floor and I pull them out. We attach a hose to our hot water and fill it slowly. It takes hours but we start the year with a nice warm pool. There are two full lines on opposite corners so stop adding water when one of them is reached (you can see how well you did leveling the base.)Maintenence suggestions: I always have a hose next to it and am very strict that she and her friends rinse their feet every time they get in. No issues so far. They have spent many a 8 hour+ days in there. I test the pool and make adjustments daily. I vacuum about every10 days or if I see any debris on the floor. The supplied pump is fine but i already had a 1000gpm pump so I use that. At the end of the season I drain the water Then I use a nonscratch dish sponge and dish soap and wash and then dry it thoughly. I store it for thye winter in the back of a closet (the instructions say do not let it freeze) I put the poles in the attic.I have had multiple inflated and above ground pools from different manufacters and I find Bestway to be superior in design and durability. Useing this pool for a third season with no issues is remarkable. I also do not write a review for any product I have had for less than a year and pay little attention to any out of the box review good or bad. I also do not write bad reviews. I move on and don't look back. I felt compelled to write this review because this product has brought countless hours of joy and memories to me and my now eight year old daughter.

We are in year two of this pool and loving it every day. It survived being packed away for the winter and set up 2nd year was even easier. Here is my initial review from last year. Pics are from this year when I re worked the lattice. I bought this pool a month ago and I LOVE it. I hope my pros and words of advice help others who are considering it. Please note, I am a healthy woman in my early 50s and did all the set up etc on my own. I also do all the maintenance for itPROSIt's the perfect size for our small city back yard.It's very easy to maintain.--toss some chlorine in the chlorine holder and run the pump twice a day (NOTE: I did upgrade to a larger 1000 GPH pump but not a sand one and my pool is very clean).We swim in it daily--I use a bungee and create a "lap pool" while my husband simply swims back and forthIt was fairly easy to set up--make sure to follow the instructions--I did it myselfI had to take it down to re-level and it was easy to take down--I did it myselfWORDS OF ADVICE:LEVELLING: Your lawn does have to be as levelled as possible, I purchased the KP Pool Leveling and Support Kit (from Amazon) and have it levelled within an inch--worth the investment!VACUUM: PoolSupplyTown Pool Spa Jet Vacuum Cleaner w/ Brush & 4' Feet Pole, Ideal for Above Ground and Inflatable Pool, Spa, Pond, Waterfall, No Pump-Filter (on Amazon) is a great vacuum and for a good priceBOWING: there is a little bowing, but if you fill the pool to the water line it will decrease itINSTRUCTIONS: Yes, they were not good at all. It includes 4 tiny pictures of pools and once you determine which size is yours, you have to use a magnifying glass to see the letters assigned. Like another reviewer, I pretty much looked at the picture on the box only to realize I had the Es where the Fs were supposed to go and vice versa.LADDER: if you are going to have kids using it, you may want to consider upgrading. This one doesn't come with a platform which can make it challenging.GROUND COVER: It doesn't come with one. I purchase some mats from home depot that are working great.SOLAR BLANKET: It dosen't come with one, but you can find a cheap one on amazon and cut it to fitOverall though, I do LOVE my pool. After all was said and done I spent about $1400 but we have used it pretty much every day and we are really enjoying it. Several years ago I spent about $2000+ on a bigger one that was supposed to survive winters. It didn't and honestly, I prefer this one. Good luck and enjoy!!
