It was easy to put up and take down by myself and it was very sturdy. We will definitely put it up again this year. It was the perfect size for my daughter and I to lounge around and cool off, and the filter did a great job keeping up. Review: Great pool - Buy upgraded pump - GREAT POOL but I learned a few things the hard way so heed my warning! I bought this pool last summer. It was my first above-ground pool so I was inexperienced and I was impatient and put it up quickly. We put sand to level the low spots and installed the pool, which was super easy, and put the legs on cement pavers. Mistake! The sand shifted due to the weight of the water and caused some of the pavers to move a bit under the edge of the pool, causing a small pinhole, and the pool ended up a couple of inches unlevel anyway. I also saw all of the comments/reviews about upgrading the pump but didn't do that. The pump worked ok so I didn't bother, and again I was impatient and eager to get swimming. We patched the small pinhole and kept swimming until I took the pool down for winter. It takes about 30-45 minutes for my husband and I to put up and take down and we didn't want to mess with chemicals all winter or deal with winterizing (and I knew I needed a better ground leveling anyway). THIS YEAR I started early and paid someone to dig down (as little as necessary) to create a flat level circle where we wanted the pool. We put down a liner and installed the pool. We then used the cement pavers to put the legs on but dug them down so they were level with the ground. THIS IS WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE LAST YEAR AND I ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME AND DON'T TAKE SHORTCUTS. I also noticed the pump that came with the pool isn't doing as well this year. It's weak and barely pulls things into the skimmer (purchased separately and also highly recommended). I purchased the upgraded pump. WOW - What a difference!!! I should have purchased it last year. It looks exactly the same as the pump that comes with the pool but is slightly larger but SO MUCH STRONGER! I can actually SEE the water moving around the entire pool and debris actually being 'sucked' into the skimmer. Recommended additional purchases: ***Upgraded Pump: Intex Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools, 1000 GPH Pump Flow Rate, 110-120V with GFCI (uses same tubes, connections as pump that comes with pool) ***Skimmer: Intex Deluxe Wall-Mounted Swimming Pool Surface Automatic Skimmer | 28000E ***Vaccum: POOLWHALE Portable Pool Vacuum Jet Underwater Cleaner W/Brush,Bag,4 Section Pole of 48"(No Garden Hose Included),for Above Ground Pool,Spas,Ponds & Fountains ***Extras needed: Skimmer socks, Chlorine Floater, 3" Chlorine Tablets, Pool Net, 7 in 1 pool water test strips. Notes for new pool owners: If you take a sample of your water to your local pool store, they will test it and tell you exactly what and how much of which chemicals you need to add. They will need to know that it's an above-ground pool and the size of it. You will learn to use the water testing strips to check every few days (once a week maybe) and when you see something off, you know it's time to take another sample to the pool place. And you also will start to learn what and how much you need to add on your own to maintain levels. Hope this helps other newbies like me! ## Features - CLASSIC BACKYARD POOL – The 28211EH Metal Frame Pool is the pool you need for friends and family to enjoy time together this summer, with a 12 ft x 30 in round frame design and a 1,718 gallon water capacity. - EASY TO ASSEMBLE – Ready for water in just 30 minutes; spread out on level ground, preferably on top of the ground cloth, setting the metal frame with our innovative composite T-Joint design makes assembly quick and easy with no tools required. - DURABLE METAL FRAME – Built with a sturdy steel frame, this outdoor pool resists rust and provides a reliable foundation so you can enjoy swimming summer after summer. - SUPER-TOUGH – Made with puncture-resistant 3-Ply PVC material, this pool is built to resist the wear and tear of summer fun; in case of any damage, a patch is included for easy fixes. - ADVANCED FILTRATION – The included 530 GPH pool filter pump features dual-suction fittings and HydroAeration Technology, providing improved circulation and filtration, improved water clarity, and increased negative ions.

It will hold about 160 or so eventually. Tongue in cheek answer. I tried but just couldn't resist. **Q: Does it use chemicals?** A: I added the saltwater system to mine. No harsh chemicals just add pool salt as needed then the machine turns the salt into chlorine. The chlorine chemicals can be hard to manage and cost much more. The salt level is undetectable just like a soft water. You'll never know its in there and my kids don't have the irritated red eyes like they had when I used chlorine. **Q: How level should the place be ? I want to put it on backyard its level for the most part but has gradual highs and lows , may be 8" difference.** A: It has to be level, but it won't hurt if you have a slight slope away from the house. I leveled an area that has a 1/4-1/2 inch slope pointing away from the house. In the event something happens and 1,718 gallons of water come pouring out, it's best that water goes away from the house. **Q: Can you wash the pump filter? and How often do you need to change the filter out and put int new one?** A: Yes, you can wash the filter. I usually use the flat stream on my hose setting. I do this once a week so I get 3 to 4 weeks out of a filter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great size, quality construction, easy to set up. *by V***H on March 19, 2026* This was a great pool for us all last summer.

I was a little nervous about the setup, but the metal frame is actually really intuitive to put together. Once you have a nice level spot in the yard, it snaps together much faster than you’d expect. The size is perfect for our family—at 10 feet wide, it’s big enough for the kids to actually swim around and for the adults to float and relax without feeling cramped. The steel frame feels incredibly sturdy even when the kids are splashing around, and the liner is thick enough that I don't worry about every little pebble underneath. Having the filter pump included is a huge plus. It’s quiet and does a great job of keeping the water clear, though I’d definitely recommend picking up a few extra Type H cartridges to have on hand for the season. It turned our backyard into the neighborhood hangout spot, and seeing how much use it gets every single day makes it worth every penny. If you want a "real" pool feel on a budget, this is definitely the way to go! ## Frequently Bought Together - INTEX 28211EH Metal Frame Above Ground Swimming Pool Set: 12ft x 30in – Includes 530 GPH Cartridge Filter Pump – Puncture-Resistant Material – Rust Resistant – 1718 Gallon Capacity - HTH 42049 Pool Care 1" Chlorine Tabs, Swimming Pool Sanitizer with Added Clarifier - Eliminates Bacteria & Algae, Makes Water Clean & Crystal Clear, Sanitizes & Protects - Slow Dissolving, 1.5 lbs - Shop Square 12-Foot Pool Liner Pad for Above Ground Pools - Under Pool Padding, Above Ground Pool Pad, Puncture Protection, Extend Liner Life, Durable Geotextile Material --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/8938420-intex-metal-frame-12-ft-x-30-in-above-ground](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/8938420-intex-metal-frame-12-ft-x-30-in-above-ground) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
