Bestway Steel Pro MAX 12' x 30" Round Above Ground Swimming Pool Set Outdoor Metal Frame Family Pool with Liner and Filter Pump, Gray

I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this pool. I felt the 30" depth was perfect as that is what lazy river pools typically are and it made it easy to pop on a float, easy for young children like my niece at 9 years, didn't really need a ladder for adults and you could sit in still without being too deep. Very easy to maintain. Had pump issues but customer service was easy to work with and sent replacement. Sat in on my patio, very easy to put together and take down. So much less cost and work than a permanent pool.

Fantastic pool! Set-up was easy, leveling the ground was the hardest of all. So spacious! The pump is absolute crap so invest in a sand filter pump! Love, love this pool!

Stone print looks great, but the pump doesn't work at all. Customer service literally laughed at me when I called about replacing the pump.

Sturdy frame and easy to assemble/ keep up. Filter seems to be holding up just fine for these first 2 months we've had it. I dont really trust it to survive our winter, it gets bitterly cold so I'll be dismantling it for winter in late September. Water stays a lot cleaner with the cover on it when not in use, so you should invest in one since it isn't included. But other then that, it's a fantastic pool, kids love it.

EDIT/ADDITION: I set up a return for this item, drained the prior liner, set up the new liner, and have the exact same issue with it. There is a very tiny leak in the center seam that leaks a tiny amount of water over time which is the same issue I had with the first item. I still have to be bothered sending this back. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. IT'S JUNK. THE LINER IS ABSOLUTE TRASH AND IS TWO SEWN TOGETHER PIECES OF VINYL AND IS NOT A SINGLE SHEET OF VINYL. GARBAGE PRODUCT.The product is easy to assemble but unfortunately I'm going to have to disassemble the entire pool and send it back to get a new one and hope the new liner isn't damaged. It's not a massive hole but I could see a miner leak on the concrete slab I have it on proving that there is a small leak in the liner. I don't have the original box anymore so it's very inconvenient for me to have to disassemble it, get a new box, and repackage it and send it back in the hopes that the new liner isn't damaged after I assemble the next one. They weren't willing to send me a new liner so I have to send this back in a box and then get a new one. Very inconvenient. Sometimes paying a higher price is worth it for the quality. Wouldn't have purchased this if I knew I'd have to do all of this.

We got this pool for our 2.5yr old son. It was very easy to setup (under 2hrs) and is very sturdy and looks great with the stone siding look. The only negative is that the pump it comes with seems undersized for this size pool, however I keep it on 24/7 and make sure I have the proper chlorine level. At this low of a price I would be fine if it just lasted 1 summer and then had to be thrown out.Tips: make sure you get a 12ft round pool pad cloth, 1" chlorine tablet floater, ground doesn't need to be perfectly level but should be pretty close.Highly recommend

First of all, the pool frame and liner itself was very easy to set up. I did it alone, a forties female. The hardest part there wax prepping the base since I have tree roots, rocks, and (after using an industrial strength magnet) an alarming number of corroded old hand forged roofing nails from the 40’s. I had no idea those were there- I was running the magnet because I had dropped a box of small screws and was so worried I’d missed one and it had ended up where the pool was going in. Anyway, wow y’all might want to do that if it’s anywhere near your house.Instructions regarding the fittings and the pump were worthless. There wasn’t even an effort to show you how the pump should be connected. My intakes aren’t working at all so my skimmer is useless and crud is just floating in my pool with no actual filtering happening.Just pretend this doesn’t have a pump and go ahead and order a good sand filter with filter media balls (the name brand not the knockoffs which are just polyester). For my 12’ round I got a 3000gph one so I can run a fountain for the return and the one which came with the pool definitely is not strong enough to run a fountain (I tried it).It was a breeze putting the pool up after the underlayment was done but then I spent 4 hours looking at videos of pool and pump installs, none of which solved my problems. But if it weren’t for being able to catch a screenshot from one I’d have zero idea how the pump connections should go because Bestway doesn’t even care to tell you.Pool is fine. It’s actually huge for the two of us but I guess that’s more room for floats. I’m pleased with being able to have a pool for two hundred bucks, but the zero effort Bestway puts into showing what to do after the frame and liner are up is ridiculous.Good luck trying to figure it out.

I love having this pool in my backyard- it is large enough for me to float around in it - it was easy to assemble- I am totally enjoying it !!!
