Customer Reviews for Blue Wave Belize 24 ft. Round x 52 in. Deep Metal Wall Above Ground Pool Package with 6 in. Top Rail

Nice quality but make sure you have plenty of helpers to hold up sides we had 8 but once it was stable all went well took us about 8 hrs start to finish but well worth the savings of having spmeone install.

Quality of the pool is great, took a few extra hands to assemble but was worth it. Kids love it now I'm just working on a small deck for it

bought the pool got it three days later, took another three days to put it up working on and off. the instructions are not very clear but kinda simple to figure out. only advice is pre-build support uprights you can not do part of the installation after they are up. using a shop-vac taped to the return jet really does help get wrinkles out of liner.

This pool comes complete with a high performance pump and sand filter that cleans everything up fast and is serious overkill for this size pool which is a good thing. The instructions a vague and are not well written, however, youtube is full of how to videos for such a project. I have never owned a pool much less installed one but the project went well and took me about 4 days to prepare the lawn, back fill some stabilized gravel, compact level and prep, assemble pool and fill with water. I had help on one day out of the four and it was right around 100f everyday I was working on this. End result was worth it!

I wouldn’t recommend this product because the liner is very thin. This is my 3rd pool and my worst pool I definitely expected a higher quality than I received, The ladder isn’t sturdy at all. It’s actually dangerous for someone older or that doesn’t have good balance. It should’ve come with a mat to go under the pool as well, but that has to be ordered separately. I’ve never had to do that before either,?it’s always come with the pool. I’m very disappointed and discouraged.

Would be 5 stars but it didn't come with all the parts!!!!

This pool was good on price but it comes with a very thin liner. I had to replace the liner on the 3rd week after using it.

Pool is not an easy set up. Had missing parts and was very difficult to get parts from pool company for the warranty. Home Depot helped as much as possible. But the company is very disappointing

Why we didn’t get a pool cover

Worst instructions ever! I read that comment before I bought it but, thought it couldn’t be that bad but, man was I wrong. The sides are not as sturdy as I would have wanted for the money spent on it. Had to take it down and put it up 4 different times due to the instructions. There are NO videos for installing this exact pool. Contacted Home Depot about missing parts with no one getting back to me so had to go buy nuts and bolts.

The pool was awful, would never buy again. Read reviews before you buy, cheap. Go to a pool store, save yourself the headache!

Don’t skip steps. We placed our pool where are old one was so leveling was relatively easy. Used under armour under liner pad and foam pool coves. Had 7 adults helping.

The pool is great now that it is up. BEWARE! Check ALL parts before you begin to put the pool up. We were short about 10 various screws and bolts so we had to run to a hardware store before proceeding. Watching youtube videos of people who put the pool up, especially pool pros, will help.

Pool is very cheap and comes with generic instructions. You can look up much better instructions online and I highly suggest you to do so before you start setup or you will be backtracking a lot.

Pool is very nice pump stopped working after 1 day of use, but Home Depot did compensate for broken pump immediately.

So far so good. I wasn't to happy to find out the connecting plates for the top and bottom rails were resin instead of steel. But only time will tell.

Not enough screws to put together.ladder did not come with my kit.had to order separate.

Install went great , it's worth the cost for the size and product.

Good pool directions not good

This pool is made of inadequate material, the base plates are soft plastic, bottom and top rail and wall are light weight and fragile. When set up perfectly level and on solid base the fall was so flimsy that light wind knocked it over and bent the top and bottom rails. Add water for pending disaster! This pool is useless and Home Depot's return policy specifically state "New and unopened package". This was a pretty expensive mistake! So, if you have cash to throw away, go for it!

We bought this pool last year and once we had it up we enjoyed it very much. For the money it's very hard to beat this pool. I have had above ground pools before and replaced liners and skimmers so I had some idea what my wife and I were in store for. Some idea! My wife and I tried to put this up ourselves. We're still married but I wouldn't suggest doing this! My son came down and helped and save the day ( and quite possibly our marriage) yes it's that bad! I have some suggestions: 1) Gets LOTS of people to help and when you think you have enough get more! The reason for this is that the walls are thin and buckle and pop out of the thin track. 2) Make SURE you have the ground PERFECTLY level and make SURE you lay out the bottom track in a PERFECT circle. 3) assemble the uprights and use them as extra "hands" to hold the wall up when you install the liner (see number 1) DON'T try to do this in a weekend I don't care what the add says! The pump that came with the pool only lasted one year, the threaded inlet on the filter cracked and I repaired it with J B weld. If you're prepared to work with it this pool will give you lots of enjoyment. You"ll earn it!

Great pool. Perfect size for my family and I

We love this pool! It does take a few ppl to put it together but it’s great, the pump and filter work great.

Had it installed, nice pool but the liner could be thicker it’s very thin.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

I ordered this pool from a different seller, but it all comes direct from Blue Wave. I ordered just the pool and chose to purchase other items separately. When I got the pool, I didn't know it, but I was missing an entire carton. Apparently, this happens quite often in the shipping process. I was missing the box with the instructions as it turns out. After a lot of research, I finally found the packing list online and discovered what I was missing. It took almost 3 weeks of daily emails and phone calls before I was able to actually speak to someone that would help. I got the box with the parts, but no directions. There is not a single video online for this exact pool. I'm pretty sure I put it together wrong. None of the parts are labeled, the bottom foot plate and the top foot plate is what I got wrong. The pool is up but it is wonky. I did have a perfectly level spot created. The groundwork is fine, it's trying to keep the pool perfectly round. I was not about to go through the process of taking it all down and starting over. The pieces are flimsy. I can't imagine this thing lasting even the summer let alone the ten years it promises. Cheap parts, overpriced tag. Another reviewer called it flimsy, it is. It is barely a stop above the plastic pools, which is what I will buy when this thing breaks. I did put this up by myself (middle-aged lady) with the help of a 14-year-old. It was not easy, but we managed to get it done in a day. I do not recommend this pool. I don't know if all brands are this cheaply made, but this pool was a nightmare. I only hope we can actually enjoy it for a few months before it collapses.

I've been in The pool industry for 35 years, this is b uh far the worst pool I've ever seen. Plastic connectors are you kidding me? Plastic top rails, top caps are you kidding me. This was the flimsiest pool , a small breeze would blow it over, no strength what so ever, cheapest components, worst liner I've ever seen, its paper thin. And so over priced. Please listen people, dont even consider buying this pool. Very ashamed of home depot for carrying this product. I cant believe they get away selling this crap. Honestly people it's worth 100 bucks maybe, shame on you for making this product. Totally unamerican, sorry but its the truth.
