We have only had this pool for a month and bought it late in the season as fall is right around the corner. Our kids love this pool! It was easy to put together and set up, as long as you have another person to help. My husband and I put it together in about an hour, two hours to fill it with water and hook up the pump. The only problem we have had...the pump quit working after two weeks of using it, the water started turning green, so we drained it and took it down for the winter. This is the reason for 4 stars. We will purchase a better pump later.
