Intex or Bestway Pool. Which Would I Buy Again?

🌴 👇A few must have items👇

I just picked up the 20' x 12' x 48" Bestway pool at my local Costco for $499...that's a significant price difference compared to the Intex.

I have been researching pools for months because we're upgrading to a bigger one. I think we've made a decision. Thanks for this I'm exhausted mentally 😂😊😊😊

Hello- I have been looking for a review between these two brands! I am looking at much smaller pools so some of the things are very different. First, all of my smaller pools (bought the easy set, looking to get a frame pool this time) but all the clamps have been the plastic ones and not the nice metal ones. I don't mind the plastic ones. Also the pumps that come with the 10x30 pools on intex only move 330 gallons at a time. I think the 12-30 also comes with a pump that is not strong enough for the amount of water. I inherited a bigger pump and it works much better.

That info is for anyone looking for the smaller versions and is only my experience buying the pools as well as researching.

All of that said, I have been looking for a review between these two brands and this is the first one I have found. VERY grateful. Thank you.

Great video! Actually, the best comparison I've seen 😊.

One thing I would add is a shade canopy over the pool area.
I vacationed to the Philippines and rented a private resort that we had our own private pools and with all the coconut trees and palm trees sprawling over the property it helped to keep the leaves out of the pools. There was literally nothing to take out of the pool.
So that’s my plan.
I will make my backyard an oasis with palm trees and everything.

I like Intex well we using the third year already it's still strong enough. Thank god

I agree with everything said in the video. I've had both.
The Bestways cover is really a joke. I struggled to put it on each time. It disintegrated within a month.
The 750 gph clearflow filter pump included was too weak to run even a hand help pool vacuum it failed and I couldn't get a replacement rotor. The hoses were 1.25" and each of them ruptured within a year.
I fixed all those things by replacing them with Intex 2500 gph filter pumo running 1.5"hoses and so on.
The worst thing is that the pool liner faded miserably. It's expensive to replace it.

I just bought 12x24 intex. I love my intex

I just picked up a 16 foot round 48"tall Bestway pool for under $400 at BJ's. We're still leveling our sloped area but can't wait to have it up and running.

I got a bestway from Costco 18foot with a solar heater for 400 bucks. And I have knowledge of pools so I just changed out the hoses for very cheap prices and I don’t use the cover cause I have no trees and it’s in direct sun so it stays hit enough.

One thing I will say is you should not tie down that intex cover becuase that vinyl will rip with storms and wind. Better off with a cover with loop holes for metal wire to go through.

I like the Intex as well, I had a summer waves last year. It lasted the season and that’s it, if I would have set it up correctly. I may have had one more year. I am happy with the Intex I bought. I upgraded with the sand filter.

The Bestway is currently on sale ($100 off) at Costco... we just got ours in store for $649.
Also, I wanted to mention that they have it online for $699.

Worked well for filling up our pool. Water does run slower but works good as long as the sun is out.

My Bestway steel pro max frame is rusting every where. Have had a number of pools and this is the first with rust issues.

[mysteryboyee]

fyi, the bestway pump DOES have a timer, it's a few presets in increments of 2, you'll find it on the plug itself, or at least mine is like that (i have the bestway steel pro max 16'x48" round above ground pool kit)

[MelaniaT-rm]

I have a, ways been pleased with INTEX! Super high quality.
