Meadows 27-Foot-by-52-Inch Round Above-Ground Swimming Pool Complete Bundle Kit | Boulder Swirl Pattern Overlap Liner | A-Frame Ladder System | Sand Filter System with Pump | Skimmer

Here's my review of this pool after we've had it up for one year. First off let me start by saying that everything arrived in the box and nothing was missing. I was concerned about that after reading a bunch of reviews but we were lucky.There are two nonnegotiables that you need to consider before buying this pool: first, you definitely need to have it professionally installed. it cost roughly $1,500 to have it put together including leveling. It will save your marriage, your back and you won't go to hell for all the curse words you will say during the install. Second, the luster that comes with it is an absolute joke. Throw it in the trash and get a couple bags of sand from a local pool shop.Now let's dig into my experience over the last year.First, the Luster stopped working within about two months. No matter how much I backwashed it would always spew out dirty water. So finally I changed it out with sand. Now the filter works great.Second, because the liner is super cheap and thin it got a hole in it. After repairing it, it got a second hole, then a third.... while working on the third hole it got a fourth. So we had to pay for a new liner from a local pool store (keep in mind that this is still in the first season of use).Third, The valve on the filter started spewing water out of the backwash port while it was in "Filter" mode. That was a simple fix since I'm a plumber. I took it apart and greased the main seal and all was good.Fourth, The skimmer basket broke (now we're getting into the second season)Fifth, The filter/valve clamp broke and was spewing water when I got home from work a few days ago.Sixth, The guage on the valve stopped working and I had to replace it. Again not a big deal, I got a replacement on Amazon. Just another straw on the camels back.Now I know that pools need maintenance but I feel like this is a bit much. Also, keep in mind that since this is an unknown brand for most local pool shops, you can't get any parts locally. I was able to find a clamp on ebay but it took a week to arrive.Lastly, My neighbor got a new pool roughly the same time as me. He spent roughly $12,000 for a turnkey product/install. I have spent roughly $6,000 on everything including the liner replacement. He enjoyed his pool all year and didn't have to lift a finger except normal pool cleaning and chemicals. Where I had a flooded back yard for several months while trying to deal with leaks in the liner and dealing with the filter. If you're willing to put the time and energy into dealing with the problems of this pool then you can save a bunch of money. If not then I'd recommend going to a local pool store and buying one from them.

Although putting it up was awful and ended up hiring a company to do it, this pool is awesome and we're so happy we invested in it! Texas Summers will no longer be an issue, hopefully lol

I would give give stars because the pool is good, the liner is beautiful and it arrived way before predicted. The not so good part: 1) one plate that is used to assemble the too rails and post to was missing. Contacted the supplier on the sheet inside, they charged a 40.00 shipping fee for something that could fit in a standard 5 Buck box. After a not so nice email they did refund the shipping cost, but the piece did not arrive on time.2) the pump does not have an on/off switch. The instructions say you can add your on or wire it to a plug switch. The description did not inform me of this, who wants to buy a pump you have to wire up to turn on/off. That's why they make them with switches.3) a end piece that goes on the pump to hook the hose from the pump to the skimmed was missing. Didn't want to fool with calling being the other missing piece didn't arrive on time therefore the quest of finding the piece at a pool supply store nearby.So after much discouragement, I'm hoping by this Friday 05/26/17 the missing plate has arrived that should have been here today 5/24/17 so I can get my pool completed. It has been sitting four days waiting on this part. Pool looks good, but having all parts was a nightmare.

Loved this pool easy to set up

This pool is great! We hired a professional to install it, and it only took them 2.5 hrs to do the grade work and get the pool up. The only thing I’m not happy with is the ladder, but I will upgrade to a better one next season. Ordered the pool on a Saturday, and it was delivered that Wednesday. No missing pieces, no problems whatsoever! Customer service was great too, as they called to confirm delivery and go over some instructions on what to do when it arrived. Great company, great pool! Definitely recommend for anyone looking to purchase a pool for less than half what the big pool places charge!!

The ring that goes on the top to seal the diverter to the tank I never could get this seal to stop leaking water no matter how much I tightened it it just continues to leak so I’m not sure what their problem is I even cleaned the rubber gasket inside and out still did not do any good. So if you get this just double check all of your fittings. The top of the diverter leaks.

I love the pool.. We we're missing 1 simple piece, we contacted Customer Service and they sent it out the part right away.Great package.Very Nice Pool.I HAVE recommended this to my friends and family.

Loved the customer service! Pool was beautiful as promised! We hired someone to install and do not regret it! Enjoyed it all summer!
