Fabulous So Far
We love it. There have been no issues with the pool being faulty at all, but I feel bad for those who had encountered them. We placed extra padding under the pool since the one provided is flimsy and not waterproof. We have found with our other above ground pools that putting a tarp right under the pool will seal it any small holes if they should develop because of the weight of the pool and the weight of the filled water. We also did not put sand underneath because we were testing the location in our back yard and I couldn't imagine digging up all that sand and moving it if the location was not ideal. It is perfect, but because we are in Virginia where we aren't willing to chance keeping it up through winter, we'll have to deconstruct it and put it up again next Spring. Maybe we'll use sand then, and, honestly, we don't know how the deconstruction and putting it up again will go. So far, the only down side has been how much Intex said to clear around the pool. They suggest 5 to 6 feet and my husband did only 5 and it is still was too much and we were left with all this dirt around the pool and had to buy artificial sod to cover the dirt. I can't talk about the ladder being substantial or not as we use a deck we bought from Lowe's for a pool we had before this one. As a side note, I did read that another buyer was happy with the amount of dirt excavated. The sand filter provided does a wonderful job unlike other filters we've had for different pool. We use chemicals (on the low side) and not a salt water system. VM Express did an awesome job delivering it.
