AquarianSteel-Frame Outdoor Above Ground Swimming Pool, Round, 21' x 52", Phoenix

Looks gorgeous, sturdy, and has been a blast.

This pool has been great so far. I didn’t have any help putting it up. Just put it up by myself. It was pretty difficult to do by myself, but if I can do it alone then if you have some help it should be a breeze.

The guarenteed delivery date was not met, and no communication until I seller via amazon.Time taken off of work and money lost before the process even began. Then set up was nightmare.The flimsy walls and cheaper grade metal bottom tracks caused the walls to collapse during set up. I wish more pictures were taken but it was too hectic to snap sny during that time. I also wasn’t anticipating things to bend and shift after water was put in. Ground is perfectly leveled, and no wind. Despite our preparation and people’s experience, the awful quality couldn’t be worked around. Quality and price do not match. Some items defective. Screws barely fit into holes, causing them to almost be stripped. Water in pool is not causing wall track issues. Now seller wants us to disassemble to return by next day, after they said we can discuss options. No discussion given, just the seller ignoring the issues and refusing to handle the situation appropriately.

It performs well so far , it’s a perfect size for a small family , it could be thicker in the walls and the base support , it is def heavy ! So far no leaking .

For the price, the product is good! We purchased the Cornelius Pools 18’ round 52” deep, the skimmer cutout was the “widemouth” shape as can be seen in the photos. The kit we purchased for pump and sand filter (Intex) had the standard square skimmer and the connection fittings were different than the skimmer/return fittings we had to purchase to work with the pool wall. The most difficult part of the install was the ground prep. We rented a mini excavator from HD and leveled out the area within a couple hours. We bought the thickest liner we could! Took over 1 ton of sand... we landscaped and installed low voltage lighting which turned out amazing IMO! Not bad for a first attempt. Kids are absolutely loving the pool this summer!!!

The material is built well, sturdy and I'm confident it will last for many years. The installation is extremely tedious. The first try we failed and had to recoil the wall and take it all down. My advice would be to not insert the bottom track rails all the way into the footings and then uncoil the wall and shrink the circumference of the track and footings to make the ends of the wall meet up. It's a two person job, minimum and still took about 8 hours. This is without dirt work. I hired someone to pour a 17' diameter perfectly round and smooth concrete slab for the foundation. If you install on concrete, use 4'x8' insulation board instead of sand, in the bottom. Buy a rhino liner for the top of the insulation board and definitely buy cove. Good luck.

Product is what to be expected, however one part is missing and cannot get a hold of seller, manufacture or find the part to order

It’s a beautiful pool, and it wasn’t too hard to assemble. But you just need to understand that it needs to be, and I mean completely, windless day. Any unexpected breezes can really muff things up. Also, you really need to have like at least four people. Five would be better. Just to hold the walls up wall your unraveling to spool of pool wall around in circles, and holding it in place in the track.Also, and this is important, when spreading out the liner and bringing it up to the pool lip, pay attention that all lines are even, so that it’s not lopsided. Sounds obvious, doesn’t it. Yeah ok, you’ll see, lol. Also, when pulling that liner around, if the sun is out, it is rapidly absorbing heat and will stretch. Be careful. Slow and steady wins the race. You’re going to get impatient and just want to get it done. If you do and you overlook a fold or a crease or misalignment, you’ll just have to do twice the work later to correct your mistake. So slow your roll there speedy and do it right the first time. It’s worth it.
