New 22' Coleman/Bestway pool in San Antonio
Reply With Quote
Welcome!
Several cautions:
1. If you got a saltwater system, do NOT use it. If you've added salt to you water, drain and refill. The Intex / Bestway / Coleman frames are NOT compatible with salt. They'll usually last a year, but not the 4 - 6 years Intex Ultra users often get otherwise.
2. Coleman is a 'prostituted' brand-for-hire. You can't contact Coleman USA for support. Support is via Walmart or Bestway (lots of luck!)
3. If you don't already have one, get a sand filter and matching pump. The cartridge filters will not work out well for you, unless you have 2 - 3 of them
4. Probably 10 - 15% of Chinese made pools (Intex, etc) have defects. Check your pool out NOW and return it ASAP if needed. Warranty support after the initial !00% period is POOR. Take it back to Walmart for an exchange, if at all possible.
But otherwise, these pools are often a GREAT deal, given good satisfaction and last a number of years . . . IF you do NOT use SALT!
5. Get an HTH 6-way and use it. Get a K2006 later.
Good luck . . .
