Not perfect but much better then Intex
We have bought an Intex pool for the last 5 years for the kiddos to splash in. The last 2 years they went super cheap (underweight fillter, poor design, etc) so we went looking for a replacement. This pool fit the bill well.
When we pulled it out I was a bit concerned that it did not seem "substantial" enough but with a filter that runs super quiet (about half as loud as Intex) and a design that has stood up to months of abuse, I am very happy with this purchase.
As with any pool, you need to have a floating cholorinator or some other chemical system otherwise it will get cloudy. But after the failures of the Intex models. I was very pleased by this filter system. It quickly cleared the cloudiness and kept the water well circulated with the barest amount of chlorine.
It looses one star because after 3 months of use it is starting to sag a bit more then the Intex did but by this point last summer we had abandoned our Intex because the filter broke.
So, all in all, very pleased. Good choice.
Update - we had some leaking issues after about 2 months and Summer Waves' Customer Service was amazing. Not only were they incredibly friendly (and US based!!!) but they did a great job fixing the issue at no cost to me.
All in all, this is our new go to pool.
