    I have owned 3! They are okay! The pumps are bad about tearing up!

    Ok for a summer but they are nearly impossible to keep clean unless you put a big filter on it and not the one it comes with. We've spent double on chemicals for our pool than we actually paid for the thing.

    I have one with the krystal clear salt water pump combo filter and I love it...I've had the pool for about five years and the filter is new this year and I will never go back to chlorine

    For kids or adults???? We had one that worked great for kids and adults that weren't rough, but the pool didn't survive a party at our house with 5-6 adults horsing around in it...If you lean or get thrown onto the side of the pool, all the water will rush out the side---sending the people in the pool with it...HAHA

    I had one last summer and was not too fond of it. I spent more time trying to keep it clean, than I did actually enjoying it. The pump that comes with it is WAY too small and does not filter the water fast enough. Needless to say it took a trip to the dump last fall :smile:

    Good luck with yours!

    With 4 kids under the age of 12 ours works out pretty well. We have the 42" pool which allows the youngest to touch bottom and still gives the oldest some room to move around. Ours was given to us by some friends that moved and didn't want to take it with them. I don't have the saltwater pump but that'd be my next purchase if we keep it very long. It also works out well for us since we rent and don't want anything too permanent in the yard.

    I fully agree! I love our pool, and would NEVER go back to chlorine!
  • Speaking of krystal klear pumps - here is the one for $159 (shipped for free) with solid reviews across the web including amazon:

    as a heads up I'm with VMI but figured this will save you at least $15 :)
