A pool to enjoy for the whole family 5 The Ultra portable pool 18' X 52" was very easy to setup and begin to enjoy immediately for the entire family. Please make sure you take the time to make sure the ground you place the pool is ABSOLUTE LEVEL as indicated in the manul; HINT - use a laser leveler(Costco or Sam's)it's worth the investment. If you have any questions about he pool you can call Intex from Monday to Friday, give it a little time, but you will reach a live customer/product person to answer all your questions. Out the box you can tell the product/all the parts are made from first class materials and workmanship. If you can go for the Intex 2500 GPH water pump, and the Chlorinator(it REALLY does work - GREAT)make the purchase,it makes a world of a difference. Please be careful about the chlorinator try and find POOL salt, ask around,but try and not go for regular salt, the pool salt seems to be the best. P.S. - the Intex pool night light is awesome, it maybe a little expensive after you add on the other items, but it does make the pool look beatiful at nigth, and give you more time to enjoy uor your. Overall as a person with a family and no money to waste, this pool and it's products are well worth the INVESTMENT - ENJOY
