Summer Waves P4A01648B 16ft x 48in Above Ground Frame Outdoor Swimming Pool Set w/ Filter Pump, Pool Cover, Ladder, Ground Cloth, & Maintenance Kit

Love our pool. Easy to set up and durability. We have had for several years now and absolutely would not want to got a summer without it.

This pool was effortless to assemble. Once we leveled the ground and unboxed it, my 9 year old and I were able to assemble with little to no issues. The frame is sturdy and the overall look is clean and appealing. There is 1 main seam that runs vertically, unfortunately ours is dripping! Started as soon as water began to fill. We used included patch as well as alien tape. This has slowed it however just still dripping. I have reached out to seller. I am hoping we can get a patch or possible replacement liner. If so its a great purchase something a family can enjoy ALL summer long for many many by years. If we can not get the seam leak repaired then unfortunately it's a waste of hundreds of dollars. Will definitely update**update** don't waste your money. Per the company even tho their several hundred dollar item is faulty. (Thousand plus if not on end of season clearance!l)They will not do anything about it. Yes I 100% understand its out side the 90day time frame. However it was an October purchase (Christmas gift for our children), sat in the box until May ( obviously need warmer weather). First time it was opened and assembled, it leaks. Ridiculous a company could request so much for an item yet have NO quality control to ensure the seams are properly sewn.**another update***I was able to patch a leaking vertical seem. The original leak to our pool. However 3 days later the seem at base of pool began to leak in 2 spots. 2 patches added. 1 worked while another only slowed the leak to a drip. Here we are almost 2 full weeks from set up and FOUR more holes have appeared at the base seam!!!! As EVERY SINGLE leak is coming a seam it clear that the issue is the product. The seem at the top is not even attached at the top completely. There are about 6 spots at the top I can stick my entire hand in, which I assume is what is happening at the bottom. One of the new leaks is a 6inch seam hole. I unfortunately will not be able to patch this one. I do not understand how one product can have so many defaults. Nor how a company will not own up to it. We have 3 young kids whom not only get to enjoy the water for 2 weeks. Now we have to just call it a loss as we can not afford to purchase another pool this season. BUYER BEWARE- JUST FIND A BETTER QUALITY PRODUCT BY A COMPANY WHO IS PROUD OF THEIR WORK

I am SO glad I bought this pool. I've lived in my current home in the Sierra Nevada foothills for almost 20 years and because May to September is basically 90 to 105° and I hate heat, I have pretty much always had SOMETHING to cool off in, upgrading every two or three years.When this became half-price ($620!) in July 2021, I decided to trash my 12' Intex inflated-top-ring pool that I had been struggling with patching and keeping clean for three seasons. Having also struggled with finding level-enough ground, I had a friend with a tractor level an area. It's not perfect, but it's pretty close to the 2" max difference, although the frame joints don't sit totally evenly and it creaks... So far, it seems very solid.I also got a few friends to help with various steps of the set-up (including placing the folded up pool on top of the shavings on top of the ground cloth) - most of it was done by two of us, though.After a low-power, fussy, two-hosed Intex pump, I love the integrated skimmer/pump that one can watch swirling the water around the pool. Other than skimming hundreds of kamikaze bugs off the surface (the skimmer gets a lot, but...) and having to vacuum the bottom frequently (boy, I'd love to be able to afford a robot!), the pool stays very clean with my liquid chlorine bleach & conditioner system. It gets very light use (max of an hour daily by one person and frequently much less than that), so the pump is totally sufficient. No green; no cloudy, even when I've let the chlorine get so low there was no yellow in the test.I think it's great that it came with the ground cloth, ladder (none-to-side and steep, but sufficient), pump (it better come with a pump!), one filter (happily, the same size as my old pool, so I had spares), and cover (so unwieldy that, not being able to afford a roller, I'll only be using when I "close" the pool for the cold months).Complaints: It seems to leak. Like an inch a week, including evaporation. At first I thought I just didn't have the pump ring tight enough, and I didn't - it was dribbling, but there's still wet shavings around the lowest side of the pool after fixing that. Also, since it's supposed to be filled to 8" below the top (another complaint, as I bought a 4' pool but only get 40" of water depth), it would be nice if there were a mark on the liner or pump ring, which is where I marked with a Sharpie, using a level and a tape measure). And, finally, although I plan to winterize it and not take it down, I don't love the location I put it, but I'd have to dive in to release the valve at the bottom of the pool to drain it. Seems like for a pool one can't reach the bottom of from the outside, they'd make it so you could drain it from the outside, too?And although I'd like to build a deck around it, that's not likely in the foreseeable future, so I do wish more accessories were made, like trays and cup-holders. What I've found were either too expensive for their reviews or don't fit the oval ring of the frame. I'll probably construct a table high enough to reach from inside the pool.Bottom line: Totally recommend, although there's no way I'd pay full ($1,200) price for it.

Overall it has been a lot of fun having this pool. Really the only issue I have with it is there are two sections where the seams are coming apart. With only having it set up for 2.5 weeks, I question how long it is going to last. If it get worse I may have to send it back for a replacement liner.
