Having bought a variety of Intex branded pools and floats, I want to first say that the quality of the pools & accessories are quite good; whereas the pumps tend to be inadequate. I usually add shock and change the cartridge when it no longer is doing its job; I'll siphon vacuum the pool, bypassing the filter, when needed, working quickly so as not to lose too much water. My three star rating is partly because the description says the pump is included, and the only review currently posted says the pump is included, but this model does not include one, so I didn't get a deal on the purchase, even though it was on sale. Even an average pump is better than none, and I don't really recommend a pool this size without a pump--this is better for someone who already has a pump, or just plans to set it up for a few days.

Horrible it says it comes with a filter it doesn’t!!

Had one a while back and loved it. Couldn’t pass this one up for the price especially since it came with the pump and filter
