Questions & Answers
There are no complaints about the pool. There is a 52" depth to it. It consists only of the liner, poles, and frame of the pool. There is a separate charge for the ladder, pump, and hoses. Everything we needed to build our other pool was already here.
As a resident of Idaho, I have a large family. At one point, the temperature dropped to During the winter, the temperature drops to 20 f. As far as mine goes, I leave it It only needs a good shock, the inlet and outlet ports being dropped below the water level, then it is covered and the filters and pumps are disconnected and stored in the aquarium. There is usually a little dirt on the bottom in the spring, but it is easy to vacuum out. It would probably be possible to do the same thing
The hose connectors are different sizes, but I just cut one to fit within the Intex hoses. I use my Intex sand pump ( I also bought a skimmer filter) and it works perfectly. Besides the water return nozzles, there are two other pieces of equipment. In one case I cut it out and made it bigger, and in the other I capped it off. The assembly was very simple as well. One of my 10 year olds did most of the work for me today!

Selected User Reviews For Bestway 13429 Power Steel Swimming Pool, 16' x 48"
My 16' X 48" Bestway pool was purchased to replace my 4 year old, smaller For me, this was a perfect solution, as I didn't want to have to purchase another pump and filter. I found it easy to put together the pool. A couple of my friends and I got together for a drink - In less than an hour, Que and the three of us put it together. The frame is very sturdy and the water line is 43" deep. The overall cost was less than $700. In two days, the item was delivered. It's a wonderful pool and I'm very satisfied with it.
This pool looks wonderful and is very sturdy I am a single mother with two teenage boys, so I purchased it since it was what I could afford. It is perfect for my home and we enjoy it a lot! Moreover, it is quite large as well. However, I already had a pump, so it did not come with . The only thing I dislike about this pool is it has 3 holes for connecting to the pumps for small hoses, but I purchased the A ratio of 25" to 1 is used. Adapters for 5 inch type B hoses for pumps and vacuum systems For $11, you can purchase two sets of Saltwater Systems. You can get it for $20. 00) As well, there was to use (does not come with this pool) This is a great deal!.
It looks really nice in the pool. A small amount of effort is required to assemble. Although I am extremely disappointed because I did not realize it did not come with a pump or Its seller does not include a pump or ladder with their pool. Because you have to find the right pump and ladder, whatever you may have been saving up for now is wasted! Overcharging me by 100 dollars was wrong. I contacted them and was told that the cost of the item was what I paid at the time I bought it. They are the last vendor I will ever purchase anything from.
Considering the price, this pool is a great buy. If you properly prepare the surface, the pool will hold up well and perform as intended. Before installing the fence, we dug the ground and leveled it for three days. The pool looks and functions great, so it's well worth the effort.
The kids have grown so big that I have to upgrade my technology every 3 to 4 years. The Coleman 16 x 48 is the newest tent I have owned. This container was only 42" in diameter when full. The Bestway 18 x 52 feels much bigger and deeper now than ever before. The book is ideal for my teenage son and daughter. Even though this plug-and-play does not come with anything, for the price, one cannot beat it. It consists only of the frame and the liner. There is no need to purchase new hoses or filters when the ones from the old pool fit perfectly. It was a great upgrade and I'm very happy, as are my kids. Excellent quality! Recommend it!.
We had a very hard time finding a pump that would fit this particular pool! would stick to Intel pools from now on and never use them again. In some areas of their description it states that it comes with the pump while in other areas they state that it doesn't. I would have returned it if it wasn't so huge and my husband hadn't already set it up before we realized it was wrong. The pool should come with a pump, since it is this size.
The intext pool we had prior to this is an improvement over the common blue intext pool we had before. Despite the fact that it does not come with a pump, we chose the model that does not include one since we also have an expensive sand filter/pump set up. It is not possible to place a slimmer on this set up since there is no inlet to accommodate The inlet consists of two small holes. You will need to buy an afterthought-looking skimmer which clamps to the side and looks cheap. If you want to remove grass clippings, bugs, leaves, etc, you need to purchase one. Seller informed me there was an issue with the skimmer and pump set up, and I thought there might be something I could buy to resolve the problem quickly. It was stated after waiting that they had spoken to their "pool expert" and not much was available. I spent the next 24 hours visiting 4 local pool stores without success and receiving many "we deal with this all the time" answers. I have never been so frustrated with having a pool we can't As soon as I had all the measurements, I made some mental notes and then headed to the local hardware store. In addition to buying $96 worth of fittings and hoses for the spa, I bought an aftermarket skimmer ($25) to complete my setup. It was so much fun that I sliced my thumb to the bone cutting the hose! Bottom line, don't buy this assuming it is a plug and play upgrade over your existing Intex The liner has so far lasted, but the structure "pipes"' are a bit thin wall -- my 7-year-old is prone to jumping off them when he is not allowed - and they have already My overall regret is I would have preferred to just use our intex pool another season and perhaps just bought a higher dollar aluminum pool. Hopefully this makes it easier for you to make a wise choice. There is nothing better than seeing the kids enjoying themselves.
The pool arrived in excellent condition, but it sure would have been nice to have a ladder and pump, as other pools ordered by people. Furthermore, I would love to have more spare clips my last pool had some that cracked, so yes, I would love more than a dozen spare clips. There were a couple of other stores with the same pool after the fact and they were However, it seems to be going well so far.
