Soft side pool, but need heavy duty stairs . . .

I'm not sure I'm following your math.

You mentioned 2 people, so $60/month. Your Bestway will cost you more than that per month.

BTW, at least in the past, BestWay did not honor warranties. If you are going to keep it, get it up quick, so you can check it out BEFORE the 'return to Walmart' period passes!

No, there's 4 people total in the house.

As far as bestway is there a better company for that size? I saw intex, bestway, and I think coleman

Intex seems to honor its warranties. Eventually.

Bestway did not. I'm not sure about Coleman -- I just know that "Coleman" is a purchased brand name, and that the product has NOTHING to do with the US manufacturer of Coleman stoves.

But even with Intex, it's best to get the pool up QUICK and return it to the seller if there's a defect. Chinese manufacturers are capable of producing consistent quality, but seem to not do so unless there's a US QC engineer at the plant every day. Even Intex seems to have a defect rage as high as 10%.

By the way, the Intex Ultra material is (I think) a little more durable than the basic Intex pool.

Also, do NOT get a salt system with a steel frame pool; the salt WILL cause accelerated corrosion.

PS. Note updates about salt and Ultra Intex in main response.
