Curious to how many people on this forum own a Stealth Semi-inground pool, and if anyone has or had any rust issues. Still debating and researching before replacing my rusted well name brand pool.

Until your post I'd never heard of that brand? I have heard of Radiant, which can be semi-inground. So I went to the archives an here are the older posts that Stealth is mentioned. I hope something is helpful here to you.

There are several options (brands) for the semi inground “sandwich wall” types. Stealth, Radiant, optimum, doughboy hydrosphere, Fox & possibly others.
From The threads I’ve seen involving any of them the running theme is to be sure that you can get service & parts after the install. This is particularly important because of the long warranty they carry & the long life of which they advertise (which is why they are an attractive purchase to many).
Many have discovered that to even get parts (warrantied or not) & simply install them yourself you must still go through a dealer. This is something important to inquire about before purchasing so you know exactly how to obtain warranty services/parts in the future.
The dealers however often have regional restrictions as to how far out they can go. The best way to sure your bets with this dilemma is to purchase a brand that has more than one dealer in your area so that if one closes up shop or stops carrying the brand you have an alternative.
As for longevity reports,
Hopefully some stealth owners will be along sooner rather than later (although it is the slow season here at tfp).
