Bestway Hydrium 24' x 12' x 52" Oval Above Ground Swimming Pool Set Outdooor Steel Wall Family Pool with Sand Filter, Ladder, & Cover, Brown Woodgrain

What an amazing pool!! Looks great, the size is just right and man how easy it was to set up. It’s sturdy, due to its thickness. Now, I’m just waiting to set up the pump to see how it works. No regrets buying this pool. Stay tune lol

This pool is the biggest piece of junk I have ever seen! The bottom ring is smaller than the pool wall, then nothing on the top ring lines up. Finally got it up and filled and guess what, it’s leaking. Spreetail that we bought it from was great and refunded enough money to buy a new liner. But when we went to drain the pool, the backside of the pool had started bulging out and one of the legs was bent. We contacted Spreetail again and they arranged to pick up the pool and replace it. We had to take the pool down, repackage it and strap it to a pallet and get it to the side of the road for pickup. Got the supposedly new pool, had same issue with bottom ring and top not matching up. Put in the liner, which is supposed to have a seam right down the middle, nope, there was the seam that gies all the way around the pool and then had 2 seams, one on each side. The pool immediately had water running from underneath and again one of the walls began to collapse! This was definitely not a new pool with a new liner. Spreetail said for us to contact Bestway, I did and have never heard from them. I told them I had had this pool less than 30 days and wanted a refund. Spreetail obliged, again we sent the pool back and received a rapid refund. Instructions are crap, video is worse. Stay away from Bestway! Our grandchildren are disappointed but luckily understand

Worth every penny best boy I’ve ever owned so glad we purchased this!!

The pool was very sturdy , the ladder not so much . But for the price I cannot complain, the ladder works just wobbles. The pump and filter were very small but the do the job and have enough pressure to run my heater. Overall if I had to I would but this again, it is half the cost of any other steel pool I found , was very easy to setup. I am a contracter though , but my helpers read the instructions which was pretty self explanitory. Great buy.

I had an issue and it was resolved immediately!! The Pool is a beauty...thank you so much!!

This product should be emblazoned with a huge brightly colored label that says YOU SHOULD PROBABLY HIRE SOMEONE TO ASSEMBLE THIS AND INSTALL THIS FOR YOU. I'm a fairly handy guy who has tackled all manner of home repair and improvement projects but setting up this steel wall above ground pool was nearly my Waterloo. The direction booklet and the video included in the product listing are basically worthless. The instruction booklet has half a dozen ambiguous pictures and not much helpful directions which would have been nice to reference when setting up the track. The video has these 2 teenage girls effortlessly setting the pool up except THEY SKIP OVER THE WHOLE DIFFICULT PART OF THE STEEL WALL ACTUALLY BEING SET UP. They start out with laying down the track on an astroturf studio set and then jump right to the liner installation! And the steel wall set up is one of the more crucial and frustrating things about this pool because if you don't get the tracks spaced exactly perfect where they meet up with the 'feet', you'll have a few inches of extra steel wall when you try to fasten the seam which is a bummer because you then have to start over. Instead of the tracks butting right up to the middle divider that are in these feet, they suggest a little spacing on each one but there's no specific measurement guidelines so you just have to guess after you've wrestled with this 200+ lb steel coil for awhile trying to get it in the track and line up the seam. Also the video references using parts and pieces that are not applicable to this pool model. And it's all fairly cheap plastic that keeps the steel wall in place which is prone to breaking, we damaged one of the feet right off the bat. We opted for a better beaded liner than what came with the pool and that installation was pretty easy. We're also using a different sand filter pump than what was provided. All in all it's a good looking pool and a fairly decent value but my review here is subpar because of the lack of good directions and the suggestion that the average person can tackle this. It's pretty laughable that the directions state the 'assembly and installation time is 2-3 hours with 2 people'. Just know what you're getting yourself into if you purchase this pool and good luck!

Over many years and several different homes this is the sixth pool I have installed and this one is the best so far. I like the fact is was gray and not white as most are. The pool was well engineered and all the pieces fit as they were supposed to. The liner that can with the pool was a very good, thick, durable liner and it fit the pool like a glove. I usually have to upgrade liners before installing the pool - not this one.

We are currently working to put this pool together and with every step there are issues; I feel this is impossible to do unless you are a professional. Three of the four people currently putting this together are handy, yet we are still having constant trouble. Hire someone to put this together for you. Trust me. We’ve been working for four hours and are just at the part where you put the top rail on and the pool side is not fitting into the rails. I’m this close to giving up, packing all this crap back up, and sending it back.
