Intex 26711EH Prism Frame Premium Above Ground Swimming Pool Set: 12ft x 30in – Includes 530 GPH Cartridge Filter Pump – SuperTough Puncture Resistant – Rust Resistant – 1718 Gallon Capacity

Great pool! so far. This item didn’t come with the ground cover as it alludes to. Was bought as a present for my nephews 11 birthday and he’s been thrilled. Would also be very nice for adults looking to just soak and relax. Assembly was fairly easy, and I setup most of frame by myself. Inserting the last elbow & vertical bar does require two people. The included pump works great! but you absolutely have to buy the extra filters. After the initial pump run, the included filter was extremely dirty! wasn’t even worth rinsing. So filter management will be the #1 thing to keep this pool up and running as long it can. I can def see how folks complain about the pump, the pump does not work efficiently when the filter is dirty (check filter first). But, the 10’ x 30” is a perfect size. A good purchase decision.

The media could not be loaded. Okay, prepare for a long detailed review and everything you need to know about this pool.6/26/24At first, I was very skeptical about whether to purchase this pool because of the reviews. I have seen some bad reviews on it.. yet some good ones. The day it got delivered was today. As you can see in the photo I provided it was in okay condition, but everything inside was still intact and safe, with no damage. I have seen lots of bad reviews on how there were holes, I did not see any holes, but it was completely fine.Pricing and what came included: I would say it was worth the price for this big size of a pool plus with what it came with. I got the 15x42. It can fit about 8 or more people.. you can even throw a little pool party if you want too. This pool came with a few necessities, a ladder, filter pump, ground tarp, and pool cover.Set Up and its Process: It took about 2 1/2 hours. It took about 3 people to help. Me + my 2 sisters. We started around 12:30pm, finished around 2 pm, and started filling up the pool around 2:30. As I'm writing this review it is almost somewhat filled. I added another photo there and it was around 8 pm. The process overall was very easy, it was just a lot to do since the pool is pretty big. So far no leaks are happening.Filter Pump + other problems people had with this product: We have not tried the filter pump yet but I have seen so many bad reviews about it. But overall we have had no problems with the pool. I will probably update on how the pool is a month later + add an update on the pump!It is worth the buy! 😊Update 7/22/24: The pool is awesome and the pump works perfectly fine, at times it did stop working but I fixed it right away and it was back to normal. Unfortunately, there was a leak but due to something my parents moved and accidentally leaned it against the pool and ripped a bit but we were able to fix it with flex tape.

Set this pool up about 3 weeks ago. Set up was rather easy Only took 2 of us approximately 4 hours to do it. The liner is nice n durable. I’ve had 5 young children playing in this pool over past few welds and it is holding up great. The size is perfect for about 5 -6 young kids or 4/5 adults. The pump has been has been holding its own thus far with keeping water clean. the price was great I would say definitely a win The nice grey color looks good and for so my stick out in the back yard like the bright blue ones.

I’m shocked how much they decreased the quality! I’d rather pay $10-20 more for the same quality it was 2 years ago. 3rd pic is the one I bought May of 2023…you can see they changed the design. That one got destroyed last summer by a bad storm which is no fault of Intex. But this new quality is ridiculous and isn’t the prism supposed to be a bit better of a line than the regular blue ones?The bottom used to be the same exact material and thickness as the sides and it was very thick. Not only has the side material gotten noticeably thinner, the bottom is not the same. I felt how light the box felt and then how light the liner felt when I got it out. I thought there was something missing or that they packed the wrong liner because I remember how heavy and thick the last one was. You can see in the second pic how much the sun comes through the bottom. On the last one, no sun went through the sides or bottom. I was literally afraid to put this up and puncture it, it’s so thin. The bottom is now the same thinness as the cheap blowup pools from the dollar store for $20. What’s the point of having the nice poles when you go so cheap on the liner, your finger nail could rip it? So disappointing! I don’t see this being able to last past this year. Plus, I haven’t measured it but it also does not fit in the same indention as the last one. Several inches on all sides smaller. I don’t have the old anymore to measure but I’d guess it’s smaller too…even though they’re supposed to have both been 10ft.**edited after finishing the setup and filling with water today 6/1/25. Have to lower the rating again.Added 2 pics of leaking water.There is pooling water around it and I can’t find where it’s coming from. I’ve wiped away the water and these pictures were after that when the water pooled back into these spots. So it’s either leaking from the seams or somewhere on the very thin bottom. I’ve checked all the hose points and drain and they’re not leaking. I could live with the lower quality if it lasted the year but really?!Also, I have a tarp at the very bottom on the dirt then I have this very thick felt that’s used for huge above ground pools that I cut to fit. And then I just bought another brand new tarp to put on top of that. I opened and put it down the same time I set up the pool today.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The pool itself is great and easy setup. My complaints are with the holes for the pump. The seals seem to leak as we bump into the, also the "jet" or outgoing hose is too high,if an air bubble gets into it, the whole system doesn't work. I have to overfill the pool for the pump to make a proper cycle. I'm thinking next summer I'll just do 1 in and 1 out to avoid using that higher hose.
