Intex 12ft X 30in Easy Set Pool Set with Filter Pump

Can for up to 12 adults ,good deal…it’s been 4 months of regular use ..going good

I received the pool but in image pump was also shown ......but when I got the product I didn't receive one......very bad

Rubbish product, leaking from seam after only a few uses. Now unusable and very upset kids. Avoid buying this item.

So easy to set up we had a model exactly the same from two years ago. This one has a few extra parts, but the pump is better and everything about it is better. Me and my daughter are gonna have a lot of fun in it for the summer and the price is right thank you.

Excelente para pasar un buen rato

I have been buying Intex pools for over 25 years and lover them. This one was overpriced compared to the previous ones. I have had them from small rectangle pools up to the 16ftx4ft pool. These pools are made well and strong, but they are heavy so you end up dragging them. I usually get 4 years out of the pool before there are too many holes to patch. The holes come from dragging the pool and emptying the pool. Some tips I learned over the years. Keep the pool level. Take the time to ensure it is level or you will have problems with it wanting to roll over. Don't throw away the filter. I take it out weekly and clean it. lasts all summer. The pump lasts a long time as long as the filter is cleaned. If you can get it, use a chlorinator. I use one all the time and the water is crystal clear. If you can't get one, make sure to check the chlorine level daily or you will have a green pool. Get a solar pool cover. You will be amazed how much warmer the pool gets and stays. Always get one larger than the Pool. I have a 15ft cover and simply tuck it under. Expect a hole. If you get a hole, you can fix it with the water in the pool, but make sure the pool is clean and not slimy or the patch won't stick. For the normal price it is a great way to cool off in the summer

The very first thing to note is 2 things. First, the pool is great. You can't go wrong here. Second, keep in mind, it's not just the pool you'll need. The this version of the pool comes with a pump, necessary hoses, and 2 filters. Intex sells additional filters as singles or in a pack of 6. The filters you need are: Intex 29000E/59900E. We bought the 12 foot version in May of 2016. It's worked great so far. It took about an hour to setup. I used a tarp underneath which Intex does not recommend, but we did it anyway to protect the bottom. It took about 3-4 hours to fill up the pool. This one comes with the pump and filter setup which is a must to keep the water clean. We also bought some basic pool chemicals, and both available covers by Intex. The cover we use the most is the solar cover. Where we live its around 90-100 degrees F daily. You should also have a strainer for this pool to get the leaves and larger organic matter out of the pool. The included pump/filter setup is really just the get the stuff the strainer can't get. As far as having flat ground, Intex makes a big deal about having this pool level. See the picture of our setup. It's basically like a big bag, so think of what happens when you fill a bag with water on an uneven surface. It's going to roll to one side a bit. In my case the ground is about 4 inches lower on one side than the other. The pool still works fine in my opinion, just the water is not as deep as it could be, but I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old. The 2 year old can touch the bottom with ease yet the pool is still deep enough to for my 4 year old to swim laps and for my 6.5 foot frame to swim under water. I've never maintained my own pool before so I got some water test strips, PH booster, and Chorine Sanitizer. I have to put about 1/3 cup chlorine in per week. Go easy on the PH booster because using that will increase the Total Alkalinity, I recommend the Clorox pool products. Intex recommends you change the filter every 2 weeks. The first time I changed the filter at two weeks I saw surprised at how much gunk was in it. It seems like you could clean it yourself to extend the life of the filter but will try that next time. For a season Intex sells a six pack of filters so I bought that as well. For the cost the pump is clearly cheap, but seems to be well made considering the limit budget for materials. The pump on the 12 foot pool will filter 500 gallons per hour so you should plan to leave it on for at least 3 hours on most days. Also bought Intex's foot bath to wash the feet before getting in the pool (shown in picture). That helps to keep the junk out. Final price including a few pool Toys was about $350, including the $79 for the pool. So expect to pay more than just the cost of the pool, but after searching all over for an above ground temporary pool (one with no frame and expensive pump/filter setups) I can't be happier so far with this one. Just the thing we needed to keep cool in the summer and provide some fun for the kids. Aug 2016 update: Everything is going great. At one point, I had a problem with Green Algae, but apparently so did the pools in Rio for the Olympics. I n my case the problem ended up being too much Stabilizer, which prevented the Chlorine from doing it's job. I ended up replacing my chemicals and tester strips. Make sure your test kit includes a test for Stabilizer. I purchased the AquaChek 551236 7-Way 100 Count Pool Water Test Strips and I'm very happy with those.
