Bestway 13429 Power Steel Swimming Pool, 16' x 48"

I purchased this Bestway 16' X 48" pool to replace an smaller 4 year old pool. This was perfect for me because I didn't want to have to purchase another pump and filter system. The pool was easy to assemble. I had a couple of friends over for a bar-be-que and the three of us put it together in one and a half hours.The frame is very sturdy and the liner looks like real tile. The water line is 43" deep. It was delivered in two days. I'm very satisfied with this pool.

I am 5'3 and weigh 98 lbs I put this pool up by myself it was so very easy! it looks nice and it is very sturdy I am a single mom with two teenage boys, I purchased this pool because it's what I could afford and I am very happy! Great size too! it doesn't come with a pump but I already had one. the only thing I do not like about this pool is it has three holes for pump hook up for smaller hoses but I purchased (INTEX 1.25" to 1.5" Type B Hose Adapters for Pumps & Saltwater System | Set of 2 for $11.00) from Amazon. also no skimmer so I purchased (INTEX Deluxe Wall Mount Swimming Pool Surface Skimmer $22.00) from Amazon I already had a ladder and steps shown in my picture (does not come with this pool) This is a great buy!

The pool looks great. Not too hard to put together. But I’m extremely dissapointed I didn’t realize it didn’t come with a pump or a ladder! Who sells a pool without a pump and ladder. So any saving you have now is list because you have to find the right pump and a ladder !!!! 😢 and they overcharged me by 100.00. When I contacted them they said at the time of my purchase that was the cost of the item. I will not ever buy anything from them again

This is a great pool for the price. The pool will hold up and do what it's supposed to if you spend the time and effort into preparing the surface properly. It took us 3 days of digging and leveling the ground before installing. Worth the effort, pool looks and functions great.

I wanted a deeper and bigger pool. I have been upgrading every 3 to 4 years as the kids get bigger. I recently had the Coleman 16 x 48. When filled it was only 42". Now with the Bestway 18 x 52 it feels much bigger and deeper. It is perfect for my teenagers. It does not come with anything but for the price it can not be beat. Frame and liner only. All the necessary hoses and filter parts fit perfectly from the old pool. This was a awesome upgrade and I'm thrilled and the kids are very happy. Would recommend!

It’s an improvement from the common blue intext pool we had prior to this. We bought the model that doesn’t come with the pump because we have an expensive sand filter/ pump set up as well as a slimmer. The slimmer will not work with this set up as there is no inlet for it. There’s two small inlets in this. To get a skimmer to remove things like grass clippings, bugs, leaves, etc you’ll have to buy an afterthought looking one that clamps to the side and is kinda cheap looking. I contacted seller to ask about the issue with skimmer and pump set up thinking maybe there would be a quick “kit” I could buy. After waiting I was told they talked to their “pool expert” and they had nothing. So after going to 4 local pool stores to no luck and many “we get this all the time” answers I was up in the air and extremely frustrated with a pool we couldn’t use. I took all the measurements and made some mental notes and headed to the local hardware. After buying $96 worth of fittings and spa hose I rigged up the pump and aftermarket skimmer($25). Even ended up slicing my thumb to the bone cutting hose so that was fun! So bottom line, don’t buy this thinking it’s a plug and play inexpensive upgrade from your intex pool! So far the liner has held up, the structure “pipes”’are kinda thin walled and just from my 7 yr old jumping off them when hes not supped to they dented. Overall I wish I would have just used our intex pool another season and just got an aluminum higher dollar one... Hope this helps you make an informed decision. The kids love it 🤷🏽‍♂️

What I did not like is that it did not come with a pump! And shopping for a pump for this specific pool was not easy! I will never use them again I would stick with Intel pools....also in some areas of their description it states it comes with pump and in some it states it does not honestly if it wasnt so huge and my husband hadn't started setting it up before we realized it I would've returned it. No pool of this size should come without a pump

Our 6 year old and 14 year old put this pool together with little help of dad and gramps.Hardest thing about putting it up was makeing sure the land was less than 2 inch level all the way around. It took my mom and self 45 min to stretch the liner all the way and smooth it out. Took most of the day to put up and fill. Assembly only took about a hour. Make sure if you are not running a filter that you have plugs and the pool cleaner. Keep a rubber mallet handy but we only needed it for 1 pin. If your looking for fast and inexpensive this pool is easy enough to put up with out tons of dirt or sand. Just keep it level. Use a 2by4 to extend your level use a stick and string in the middle of the area you choose a can of spray chalk or paint to map out your Circumference.
