User Submitted 15' x 36" Easy Set Pool Set (with Filter Pump and DVD) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2006-05-26 Beware Intex Pools!!! Low Quality!!! I first owned a 12x30 Intex Pool that lasted for 4 years without any leaks or any other issues. After the fourth season the pool started to fall apart. I thought that 4 seasons was outstanding for a $100 pool. Based on this, I purchased another Intex Pool. This time I bought the 15x36 pool. I noticed that the quality was not even close to the first Intex pool I owned. Nonetheless the pool worked great for 1 season. However, I just started to set the pool up today after properly drying and storing for the winter. Upon filling the pool up, it was literally falling apart. I lost count at 12 holes. The material of this pool is very low quality and not designed to be folded without cracking. It is only good for one season. STAY AWAY FROM INTEX unless you only plan on only using it for one season. IT WILL NOT SURVIVE WINTER STORAGE. JUNK! JUNK!JUNK! Date: 2001-08-26 EXTREMELY PLEASED ...It took my husband about 30 minutes to set up and start filling it. Our back yard isn't completly level but it works great. When we put it up next season we will try to get the ground more level. We don't have any complaints as of yet. We have five chlidren 6,9,10,11,and,12 years of age. They love it! For the price it is worth it. As far as other complaints...You get what you pay for. It takes common sense. The pool is made of plastic. If you go into this with the expectations of the durability of a built in pool you are going to be disapointed. Even if I had to replace the whole pool every summer, it is affordable and worth it. The pump is so quiet you won't have any complaints from neighbors. The pool cover is also great. We love it! I hope this review helps. Thanks! Date: 2001-08-21 Warning for Intex pools This product worked fine for one season. We carefully stored it for the winter and the pool literally fell apart at the start of the second season. The company laughed off any suggestion of a warranty the second year. Pretty expensive pool for just one season. Date: 2001-07-30 Supplies Having bought and set up this pool,I found that the retailer,Toys-R-US, could not supply the needed chemicals or the replacement filter cartridge that the manufacturer recommends to replace every two weeks Date: 2001-07-20 Some work then lots of fun I am a single mom and was looking for a pool a little larger than the blow up pools you can now buy, but my main factor was that I needed one that was easy to set up. After reading many online reviews and finding no positive reviews for the steel sided pools I decided to purchase this one. NO .... it does not set up in 10 minutes but I was able to set it up by myself. My first mistake, what I thought was level ground was not! I needed to drain the pool and with only a little water left in it move it around the yard to find a level spot which much to my dismay there is no completely level ground in my back yard. I picked the least level spot and took my chances and filled the pool. (Oh by the way, make sure you have an electric pump to fill the ring or you will be totally exhausted by the time you finishing pumping) Once I found a spot it was fairly easy and even though the ground wasnt completely level it filled nicely. The filter was also very easy to install. You will have to take a sample of the water to a pool suppy store for testing. They will then let you know what chemicals need to be added and how to maintain the pool. It will take one full day to add chemicals and let them cirrculate in the pool before the kids can swim. You may also want to buy a skimmer to help keep the pool clean as there is no vacumn attachment. My 6 yr. old daughter and her friends are totally enjoying the pool, its hard to get them to come out for dinner!!! We adults can enjoy it to as it is big enough to put a raft in and get some sun!!
