These easy set metal fram pools from Sand N Sun and Intex are AWESOME, the only problem is that it seems like they chose to take the filter/pumps made for them and give the smaller one to the next biggest pool. IF you have a pool with a 530 GPH pump you need an 800/1000 gallon pump for that size pool to really run well, if you buy the pool with the 1000 GPH pump, you really need a 1500 GPH pump for it to work properly, so on and so forth. SO if you plan on buying one of these pool also plan on investing 30-150 dollars on the next larger size pump. Also as a tip to those planning on purchasing extra/replacement stuff for you INTEX/SOFPOOL/Sand N Sun, on EBAY you should really look into price shopping around, I have not seen a thing yet on Ebay that has not sold for MORE than the selling price on other websites. The smaller parts are the worst, for example Intex sells their smallest above ground skimmer for around 12 bucks and 7 dollars shipping and it comes out to around 20 dollars total to purchase, I havent seen one go on Ebay as a combined total between price and shipping for less than 30 dollars. SO CHECK THOSE PRICES!, I almost bought 2 or 3 different things for my pool and backtracked as soon as I dug further for the items.
