Bestway Steel Pro MAX 18' x 48" Above Ground Pool, Round Metal Frame Outdoor Swimming Pool Set with Filter Pump, Ladder, and Cover, Gray

This was a great purchase! It was enjoyed by both kids and adults. It was easy to assemble and very sturdy. I would recommend putting down a foam mat under it. We can’t wait for the weather to warm up to use it again this summer.

Great pool. Simple, no frills pool. Needed something to see if I really needed a pool without 100% commitment. This came out real nice. Nicer than expected. About 45 minutes to put up, then all day to fill. Watched a YouTube video to put it together and there were no major issues at all. The tee off the intake tubes leaked pretty good but the reviews had me expecting it. I used zipties to lift the tee higher towards the pools frame at the top and it completely stopped leaking. I think the water pressure is less now that the water isn't flowing down and bottle necking at the tee and the o-rings can handle it. So far this is a great first pool.

I did a lot of research on above ground pools before I purchased one because I feel like everyone has horror stories with above ground pools. I came across this pool & it seemed like the best one to go with. I got nervous because I read some reviews where people did have issues with holes or missing parts, but most reviews were on the positive side. We ordered the pool & bought some sand to put underneath. Once the sand was placed, we began setting up the pool. It was a rather quick set up! The pool took about half a day to fill up. We’ve now had it up for about 2+ months & couldn’t be happier with the purchase! I had no idea about caring for & cleaning a pool. After about a week the water became very green. I did more research & bought some chlorine tablets & shock. After adding a half a bag of $7 shock & 1 chlorine tablet, the pool was brand new within an hour, but still cloudy as the chemicals were still working. I clean out the filter 1-2 times a day as we have a lot of trees around us that litter the water with debris. I shock the pool once a week. & I add 1 chlorine tablet a month. Once I got into the pattern of knowing how to care for the pool, it became super easy. Everyday I’m in the pool I scrub the walls with a scrub daddy I keep in the pool, & skim out all the debris. I’m the mom & I get more use out of this pool than my kids & they are in it nonstop lol. If you are wondering wether or not to go with this pool, do it!

I've had nothing but good luck with these Power Steel pools. My previous one was 8 years old when it was given away. I always disassemble in the Winter which lends to a longer lifespan. Now, for this pool. Shipping was fast and it came freight by appointment. The pictured ladder and over the wall skimmer were not included in this purchase. I prepped and leveled the ground with 1000 pounds of sand. Not leveling stresses the pool and makes it look terrible. The sand also makes a soft base. This pool came with pump/filter and a ladder. The ladder in my photos is not what came with the pool. The one that does come with the pool is sufficient, but a little on the cheap side. In addition, the pump that comes with the pool is sufficient as well, but also a little on the underpowered side. I will be purchasing a sand filter/pump in the not too distant future. This pump barely has the pull to make my over the wall skimmer effective. This is why I gave my overall rating 4 stars. The pool itself is sturdy. I love the stone pattern in the liner. Assembly is easy and it is a one man job. It took me about 2 hours to assemble at a nice slow pace. The steel bars are connected together with plastic joints and plastic pins. They seem sturdy but we will see if they hold up to the test of time. For some reason, this pool has two inlets that converge into one heading to the pump. I'm not sure why this is, and I'm not a fan as I use an over the wall skimmer and having a second inlet robs some of the suction from my skimmer. I will be making a modification to this in the not to distant future as well. Over all, I give this pool a B+. For under $600 with everything that's in the box is not a bad deal. The ladder and pump might be a little on the cheaper side, but for those who aren't as finicky as me, they are fine and will get you swimming in no time. There's always time for upgrades later.

This was my fourth Best Way product that I have purchased. 3 pool and a trampoline. This pool only lasted one summer. This past summer, the pool was unusable. The ladder and pipes that held the pool together were all rusted. The top of the pool (lining) had black spots. The rust on the piping has caused it to weaken and bend, so the pool cannot stand when it is full. I had a year warranty on the pool. I contacted Best Way this past summer with my concerns and pictures and I have not heard back.

Quality of pool is great. Perfect size for our family of 5. Glad we decided to give this a try. Set up was super easy as well.

5 Stars – Great Value for the Money! We bought this swimming pool for just a fraction of what a similar professional setup would cost, and honestly, we couldn’t be happier. It works just as well and does exactly what we need it to do—keeps the kids happy, cool, and entertained for hours! Setup was straightforward, the quality feels solid, and it holds up really well even with regular use. If you’re looking for a pool that delivers the same results without breaking the bank, this is absolutely the way to go.

Great pool! Set up wasn’t overly difficult and the delivery was quick. Great sized pool for my 10 and 7 year old!

Exactly as pictured very nice pool easy set up we are very pleased

I can’t believe this pool is exactly like the over ground pool I had before just a tiny bit smaller perfect for any yard why I need a tiny bit smaller!

Came reasonably quickly. A decent delivery guy thanks for that. It’s set up easy everything’s functioning at this stage in good time for the heat wave. I would’ve liked it a little bit taller, but other than that, it’s keeping us cool.
