We purchased an Intex 18' x 48" easy set pool 2 years ago to see if we were even pool people prior to spending a larger amount of money on one. We quickly found it that we LOVE the pool, so I told my wife that once this one wears out we will replace it with something nicer. I'll attach a picture of an easy set pool in case whoever reads this is not familiar with that style. Here it is 2 years later and its still going strong. I did upgrade to a sand filter which made all the difference in the world. My only problem is finding a good winter cover for it. I know you are supposed to take it down in the winter but we don't and honestly the quicker it wears out the quicker we get something bigger. The cover that came with the pool that has the draw string is worthless. It blows off in hours every time. We have found this one on Amazon. (See Pictures) that has a cable and you tighten it with a buckle but even that will blow off in heavy winds. Has anyone found a good winter cover for the easy set pool that will fit snug under the air ring and not blow off????
