I had a pool at my old house. After I sold it, I said I would never own a pool again. Problem is this heat and 3 kids at home all day long don’t mix. Hopefully it’s the best $400 bucks I ever spent lol. kids went to bed before I finished. Tomorrow is the test run.😎

I’m looking at the round Intex.
Do they come with entry and exit ladder?

If you have the same luck I did with mine, you'll love it. We used ours almost every day and it held up.

Beats no pool…

Do yourself a favor and get a sand filter…that piece of shit that comes with it will be clogged and have the pool green in a couple weeks.

The small cartridge filter it comes with is fine. Just need to clean it once a week during summer. Green pools are from improper chemicals. He could toss a floater loaded with good tabs and will be fine.

I fought with mine for a summer…didn’t take much at all to clog it and reduce flow to almost nothing…sand filter kicks ass, no more issues.

i had thought of this too, but it’s a lot smaller than it looks, the pos pump it comes with seems to move the water just fine, we’ll see in the long run

Yep, those pools are a great value. Biggest problem with them is the pump and filters are undersized.

On intex.com. It’s the same brand they sell everywhere but I ordered this one directly from them because I didn’t want one that was too big. It’s mainly for my kids and occasionally I may jump in it just to cool off, but I didn’t want one of the monstrosities that they sell at Costco or Walmart.

Just up this 16’ round. 52” deep. Filter is pretty good. Debris basket then into canister filter. Big power, like a water jet back in. Took 2 days to fill. Same thought process, F this it’s hot but not $100k hot

Maaaaaan,
We bought a white trasher three weeks ago.
I was against it......but honestly, I've used it more than anyone else so far.
When it's 118 every damn day, my dignity goes right out the window!

I’m on year 4 with that same pool. They seem to a bit more stout than the typical intex/best way pools….haven’t even sliced it with the weedeater yet…lol
