Funsicle 16ft x 8ft x 42in Oasis Designer Rectangular Lap Pool, Dark Herringbone

The media could not be loaded. My husband and I put this pool together in about 2 hours. Pretty easy set up but corners are a bit difficult to put together. We got a bit scared as the pool was caving in, but we figured that it was because of the weight and that it would fix with the water once full. With that being said, make sure them corners are all the way in otherwise I’m sure it can come apart. I have the 12x24 and it’s huge it too about 2 1/2 days to fill up if you do it yourself. The quality of the pool I would say is good. I just don’t think the set up of the skimmer/pump is the best. It is leaking out the water through the cut part to put the pump. I keep tightening it so it can stop but overall the pump does its job it’s pretty powerful. One thing that had a small issue is the cover, it had a rip. I contacted them so I will have to wait for an answer. I think it’s a great investment as we are in the middle of remodeling our yard this pool definitely makes it look better ;-)

The pool came in good condition on a pallet. Would be easy for 2 people to assemble, the instructions are easy to understand. I was able to do it by myself in less than 4 hours and it took about 16 hours to fill off a typical backyard water hose. The pool came with a maintenance kit (standard basic pool vacuum kit & flat pool net with pole) a ground cover and a pool top cover however, it seems the pool cover shrank after the first day in the California sun and tore, I tried using clamps to hold it by it only got worse. I recommend buying a separate durable pool top cover and keep the cover it came with as back up. Other than that the pool is really nice!Also, I put this together and wanted to share, I hope it's helpful!👇Best Year-Round Maintenance Plan for an Above-Ground PoolTo keep your above-ground pool in good condition year-round, follow this maintenance plan tailored to seasonal needs:1. Regular Testing and Balancing:• Test Frequency:• Summer: Test chlorine, pH, and alkalinity 2–3 times per week.• Spring/Fall: Test 1–2 times per week.• Winter (open pool): Test weekly.• Winter (closed pool): Test once before winterizing, then monthly if accessible.• Target Levels:• Free Chlorine: 2–4 ppm (summer), 1–3 ppm (winter, open pool), 0.5–1 ppm (winterized).• pH: 7.2–7.6.• Total Alkalinity: 80–120 ppm.• Cyanuric Acid: 30–50 ppm (check monthly in summer, less often in winter).• Calcium Hardness: 200–400 ppm (check monthly or seasonally).• Tools: Use a reliable test kit (e.g., liquid test kit or test strips) for accurate readings.2. Sanitizer and Shock Routine:• Summer: Add chlorine (liquid, tablets, or granular) daily or as needed to maintain 2–4 ppm. Shock weekly with a chlorine-based shock (e.g., calcium hypochlorite) or non-chlorine shock.• Spring/Fall: Add chlorine every 2–3 days and shock every 1–2 weeks.• Winter (open pool): Add chlorine weekly to maintain 1–3 ppm; shock every 2–4 weeks.• Winter (closed pool): Add a winterizing kit (algaecide, shock) before covering; no regular chlorine needed.3. Filtration and Circulation:• Summer: Run the pump 8–12 hours daily.• Spring/Fall: Run 6–8 hours daily.• Winter (open pool): Run 4–6 hours daily.• Winter (closed pool): Disconnect and store the pump after winterizing.• Clean or backwash the filter monthly (sand or cartridge filters) and replace as needed (e.g., cartridge every 1–2 years, sand every 3–5 years).4. Winterizing (Freezing Climates)If you’re in a freezing climate:• Balance water chemistry (pH 7.2–7.6, alkalinity 80–120 ppm, calcium hardness 200–400 ppm).• Add a winterizing chemical kit (algaecide, sequestering agent, shock).• Lower water level below the skimmer.• Install a winter cover with an air pillow and secure it tightly.• Remove and store the pump, filter, and hoses after draining lines.• Check the pool monthly for cover integrity and water level.5. Additional Tips:• Cover Use: Use a solar cover in summer to retain heat and reduce chlorine loss. Use a winter cover in freezing climates or a safety cover in mild climates to keep debris out.• Debris Management: Skim and vacuum regularly (weekly in summer, biweekly in spring/fall, monthly in winter if open).• Algae Prevention: Add algaecide monthly in summer or as part of winterizing to prevent growth.• Equipment Protection: Inspect the pool liner, frame, and equipment for wear before and after winter.Key Considerations:• Climate: If you’re in a freezing climate, winterizing is critical to prevent damage. In mild climates, you can maintain the pool as “open” with reduced effort.• Usage: Heavy summer use increases chemical demand, while winter inactivity reduces it.• Chemical Storage: Store chemicals in a cool, dry place year-round to maintain efficacy. Avoid using expired products.• Local Regulations: Check local guidelines for pool maintenance or draining, as some areas have restrictions.Sample Chemical Shopping List:• Year-Round Basics:• Chlorine (liquid, tablets, or granular; e.g., 3” trichlor tablets or sodium hypochlorite).• pH increaser (sodium bicarbonate) and decreaser (muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate).• Alkalinity increaser (sodium bicarbonate).• Cyanuric acid (stabilizer).• Calcium hardness increaser (calcium chloride, if needed).• Test kit or strips.

Pool is fantastic. The pump/filter had a broken prop rod upon delivery. I contacted the seller to get a replacement rod. Which Amazon doesn't sell for the SFX1500. I would of been fine just replacing the one $10 piece however a whole new pump assembly was sent out. For those that have issues with this product id suggest contacting the seller. They sell the filter replacements at tractor supply and on Amazon and Walmart (for those that need them) I do agree with the fact that the pump needs a stronger or a second pump/filter. I've seen on YouTube that you can add a second one. But, I'm sure it'll work....for now. 5 stars all the way.

This pool is horrible! It absolutely is not worth the money! It doesn't set up properly like it says, the poles are bent and it will be impossible to enjoy or swim in!!! Absolutely junk!

Great pool easy assembly. Love the pump attached to the pool vs sitting aside it.

I really like this pool, 9ft x 18ft x 54in. I researched for years trying to find a pool that was affordable and nice. I decided on the rectangle shape. It was important that I could do more than float. I can actually do 6 breast strokes. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it does make a difference. Installation was simple and straightforward. Be sure to level and prepare the ground properly because redoing it isn't always a option. Especially after filling it with water. We purchased a solid stair system separately. Who wants to climb a wobbly ladder. We placed it next to our deck and added a nice redwood step and bridge for easy access. This made the pool easily accessible for use. I still haven't told all my relatives about the pool. I'm not ready share my pool yet. I've waited 20 years to find the perfect pool. This pool fits any budget, especially if you don't have $100,000 for a in the ground pool.Simply put....it's the best purchase I've made in years. Win, win, win.We've had no leaks or problems. Had it a couple months now.

Ok. So, set up took 2 of us 5 to 6 hours. Make sure u leave over a foot for the legs to spread out. It will bow in until you fill it almost the whole way up. It leaks at the filter, hole was cut to big and not real way to stop. If u fill it past the half mark on the filter, that is where it WILL leak and drip at the filter. The inlet valve has no directional control. Just blows to the middle, not even down. Can not find after market item that fit, like a fountain or anything. The filter is not strong enough for this size pool, you will need to run it 10 hours just to try and cycle the water. Honestly, for the money, I wish I bought something different. Go with the intex pool, you can find so much made to add after the fact.Why did you pick this product vs others?:Cost
