Bestway Oval Above Ground Pool Set (10' x 6'7" x 33")| Includes Filter Pump & ChemConnect Dispenser

We are on our third year with this pool. We have started to see a little wear and tear catching up with the pool. So, the plastic hoses have all basically dry rotted (as to be expected after so long) and we are in the process of trying to find new ones. The challenge is finding some that fit!The pool started to get a little rusty around the metal so we sprayed it with some rust protecting spray paint . The pool ladder is rusting a bit too.I absolutely do recommend this pool. We have been using it all summer and during winter we drain it with a pump (we leave just enough water to keep the pool from blowing away in a tornado or high winds) and we try to cover it.To keep your pool crystal clear in the summer I do recommend using a bigger pool pump, changing filters every day and turn on the pump for 8 to 10 hours every day. I use arm and hammer crystal balance tablets and chlorine tablets. I break off a tiny piece if those tablets and put them in the little floating tablet holder… almost every day.That keeps the pool clean and clear all summer.I cover the pool at night to keep the bugs and leaves out. I’ve been using a tarp because the pool covers I’ve found just kind of suck.

The set up was slightly more difficult than the instructions say so be prepared for that. It will probably take you at least an hour to an hour and a half to put it together. Having a partner to help you is pretty essential especially when it comes time to stand the pool up.After reading so many reviews stating the included pump was insufficient, I didn't even bother with it. I ordered the Bestway Flow Clear 1500 GPH filter pump and it has worked great.As far as leveling, my pool dips slightly down hill. Probably more than the suggested range but we have not had any issues thus far. I'd estimate it being close to 2 inches off of level.Other random thoughts:Be sure to only fill your pool with a regular water hose and monitor it closely while filling. Be there to adjust the supports as the water fills because you could run into a huge issue if your supports aren't aligned correctly. Also using a hose water filter was a great suggestion I read and really helped to get my pool water off to a good start. The one I used was purchased on Amazon as well by the brand Keten Garden.Using a large blue tarp and 12, 6 inch clamps spring metal clamps has served as a great pool cover and even gives some of the same benifits of those pricey solar covers but for a FRACTION of the price. Again, not as good but does a decent job of holding some of the warmth in and great at keeping leaves out. Both of those items were purchased on Amazon.I know that many people wonder about power usage. With the new pump, I only have to run my filter about 2 or maybe 3 hours a day in conjunction with filling the included chlorine dispenser with 6, 1 inch chrolrine tablets weekly to have my water crystal clear. The ones I use were here on Amazon as well. The brand is GLB 71250A. Back to the the energy stuff, I have seen about an 9 dollar jump in my monthly bill.Also I did not have to rewire my home electric as I was very nervous about this. I have standard service and I do not have an outlet that is close to my pool to run the pump. So I thought initially I would have to have the electric company come and install an outlet near the pool in order to run the pump and potentially have to overhaul my service in order to support the pump. After reading and researching all over the place, I took a slight leap and purchased a Watts Wire 50ft GFCI 12/3 Heavy Duty 3 Outlet SJTW Indoor/Outdoor extension cord. This too has run FLAWLESSLY for me. I have not had a single issue. Cord has not been hot to the touch or anything like that. I'm not an electrician so I'd not take my situation as gospel but hopefully my experience with this set up can help you make your own decision.I purchased the Poolaza pool skimmer net and brush for skimming things off the top of the water and brushing the walls of the pool weekly to make sure algae doesn't develop. Also got the Pool Whale Mini Jet Vacuum Cleaner brush with bag to suck up all the crud and debris that may sink to the bottom. Highly suggest those two products!In conclusion, this pool was a great purchase for me and my family. We routinely have all 6 of us in the pool at the same time and never feel cramped or way too close together. I hope this review and all the products I shared can help you make a better informed decision on if you should take the leap.

It was a great pool. Too bad it lasted not quite 3 years. Setup is easy with 2 people, 1 can do most of it. Purchased June 1, 2022. Posting this review on 5/10/2025, the day the supports started to collapse.

I bought this awhile back and let it sit in the garage until it was time. I give the instructions 3 stars. My daughter and I assembled it by ourselves. It would be much easier with 3 people. Instructions say 30 min assembly time but took us about 2 hours and 30. I bought the 12x24, it gets heavy trying to lift poles and click in side bars. I did get an automatic vac and a floater. I can't wait til it is warmer so we can start enjoying it.

Love my pool!! It’s lasted two summers now and I don’t take it down just empty it and refill in summer. I wasn’t looking for a big pool my yards not big so if you have a small yard like me then this is the one!
