How is that possible if the normal price is $499?
It's called SD math!

I would get the Costco BestWay sand filter pool. The sand filter pump is much stronger and it come with water heater. I got that one last year for $399 original price was $900. Currently they are on sale for $600, they might go down again to $399 close to summer end. If you can wait i would wait.

Absolutely. These are not "portable" pools. They are not meant to be put up and taken down. They are meant to be put up and maintained year round. Which in the case of these requires you to replace the pump with a real pump and sand filter and a auto vacuum cause what they come with isn't going to hack it. You're easy looking at another 500-600 not including chemicals to do it right.
No.


I bought an intex right before covid hit and off season at kmart for $299 for a 18inx48 prism frame.

I've taken it down every year because in the north winters get below 32* and according to intex they say if your temps go lower than that to remove the liner so the freezing doesn't damage the vinyl. I've now taken it apart and back up 5 times and the liner has not given me any issues. I actually just bought a spare liner off intex for $200 because now only the age of it has me worried. I've had 0 issues. I just make sure i roll it out after it's been sitting in the sun and the same when i roll it up i make sure its dry.

I've also had NO problem with my pump and you do NOT need to spend anymore aside from pool chlorine, test strips and some filters (1 lasts about the summer 4 months) but they come in packs of 2 so i end up just using the 2nd mid summer for no reason really.

In terms of my daily maintenance.

I go out, i clean out the paper filter with the hose, takes about 2 min to get the junk and bugs out. I use a test strip to check the levels and see if it needs chlorine and if it does i add some. I might vacuum the floor and scrub if if necessary...i think the kit cost me $50 for it and it connects to the existing pool filter.

Thats it.


The hardest part of settings up this pool was making sure the ground was level, which i will admit was very hard as my backyard was not level and i had about 3ft grade difference, but took me a week of doing it after work and i leveled it off and but some pavers under the legs for addition support and it's been perfect.

I think what a lot of people take for granted with these pools is that they don't need to be level and end up tearing the liner because of the added stress.

If I have to empty this every fall, do I have to have a connection to the street sewers? My backyard is a good 200 ft from the main road.

I've had to drain mine a couple of times. I used a sump pump from HF with a hose to the sink in the garage.

I've had this exact same pool in my back patio for almost 4 years. I upgraded the filtration system but only because i wanted to use a robot to keep it clean since it's next to a peppertree. The liner its in great shape but the frame is getting quite rusty so I'll probably take it down after the summer. 4 years its a great value. It helped us during the pandemic and my daughter (now 6) learned to swim in it.
