Intex Easy Set 15-Foot-by-36-Inch Round Pool Set

It was helpful to read prior reviews and watch the pool set-up DVD. Pool set-up was very straightforward. Removing the filter to clean and keeping the chemicals in balance has been straightforward as well.The pool is a lot of fun! Invest in a ladder and a floating chlorine dispenser, set up a bucket to rinse feet before getting in the pool, and you should be good to go.After reading reviews about the poor quality of the pool cover, we opted to not purchase one. Pool is staying in balance and debris is not a problem.This pool already is our favorite activity this year! I think it was well worth the relatively small expensive.

Easy to put up but very time consuming. However, pool shakes as kids swim across. Have used it only twice as every time it is used, it springs a leak somewhere. Terribly expensive and a lot of work involved just to swim in it twice. Now just laying in the back yard as too expensive to fill up again; not to mention water conservation. Very expensive lesson.

We got this because it wasn't very expensive and figured it was better than not having a pool! We plan to put in an inground pool in a few years, but wanted to be able to cool off this summer too.It's a nice size, though it says 15 x 36, the dimensions are based on the widest and tallest areas. So when it's all set up and ready to go, it's really about 30 in of water or so. And the 15 ft is the bottow diameter, so the top opening is really around 13.5 ft or so? I didn't measure, I am just guessing by looks. Not bad though, it's still big enough for us to fit 2 large floats to lay on and the kid still has room to walk/swim/float around too.I imagine it won't last too long in the AZ heat, but it wasn't all that expensive and if we can get one good year (or two) out of it, that will be worth it. I actually would say as much as we've used it so far it's already paid for itself.It did come with problems though! 1) The little valve where you can drain it leaks. There's a plug in it, it's screwed on as tight as it can be, but still it has a very slow consitent drip. 2) The tube on the top must have a leak. I find myself re-filling the tube with air once a week.

We purchased this for our daughters birthday. We haven't had it long enough to rate it's durability(3 or 4 weeks). Set up was really easy and even though our lawn isn't perfectly level it works just fine. There's about 1" to 1 1/2" more water on one side then the other, but unless you're looking for that it's not that noticeable and she's having fun in it. So far, we're very happy with the purchase.***update***2011 we were able to use this pool for 3 summers...probably would have lasted longer in warmer climate, but we live in a cold winter area and had to take it down each year to store it. It may have lasted one more summer, but we had to keep inflating the ring this year and my husband didn't want to hassle with it next year..Still, for 3 years I think that's pretty good for the price we paid.

I've had Intex pools before. We started with an 18' and loved it when we lived in a location where we had a very level yard. It was great. When we moved and realized we had a sloping back yard we took the time to add fill dirt and sand to create a more level area. This was never perfect so we always had a slightly "deeper" end but the pool, first the 18' and later a replacement 15' x 42", served it's purpose and allowed the kids to play and us adults to cool off. Finally, after downsizing to the 15' the lawn began to erode and our incline got steeper and the pool washed out a few years ago. We got rid of it and took a break last year and didn't put one up. Which brings us to this year and this pool.Our teen grandson offered to re-level the area for our pool and spend a day building up the steep end, shoring it up and getting it level. I found this 15' x 36" online for a steal (I thought) for about $120. (My bad for not realizing it was the 36" and not the 42" that we'd previously had so I am not factoring that into my rating!) So, we got the pool, were already familiar with how to put it up, that part went smoothly. It didn't come with the ground cover as previous sets had but we used two tarps we already had, problem solved. I spend some time as it filled using my bare feet to smooth the wrinkles. It was filling pretty level it seemed, we got the pump hooked up with no problem and we waited for it to fill. Later that afternoon we went out and the pool was a bit over knee height on me but was looking good. Then, I noticed that there was not much more room between the water level and the blow up ring. I lifted the ring and realized that there was only a few inches of slack wall to fill. The pool was short. Very short. I then realized we had the 42" previously but even so, this was nowhere near the 36" promised. We let the pool fill until there was no room left to fill and then checked it out. The top of the ring measures only about 32" and the water level is about 26" at best, about mid-thigh on me. Crazy. Then we noticed that the bottom seams were spread way out on ground. Like I said, we've had this brand and style pool before and I've never seen anything like this. A good third of what should be wall is laying on the ground which means the pool is like a giant kiddie pool. Now, we're keeping it since essentially that's all we need. We sit in it like it's a hot tub and our 8 year old grand-daughter gets to splash around. It's just not worth draining, drying it out, repacking it, and paying for return postage to send it back and we surely don't feel like taking a chance with a replacement.But, beware... check the height you order and be careful as it seems the one we got was cut wrong or seams weren't laid out right. Otherwise, we've enjoyed these pools in the past which is why I'm able to bump my rating up to 2 stars instead of 1.

Good pool. Great for younger kids. My 4 yr old can stand in the pool very comfortably, but still deep enough and wide enough for her to swim. I'd recommed a ladder to get in and out of much easier, plus kids can jump off it! You can rinse the filter and reuse very easily. buy a chlorine float.

I bought this pool for my granddaughter with the ladder, cover & filters. I received the pool in about 1 week but the rest didn't show up. I called and emailed the company and all they said was sorry & they would resend the product. Two weeks later it showed up. Mean while I gave the pool to my granddaughter for her birthday but to only last one day and the pump went out. I have called, emailed and nothing yet 2 weeks now has past! Very poor customer service !
