We aim to show you accurate product information. Manufacturers, suppliers and others provide what you see here, and we have not verified it. 
The Coleman Power Steel Swim Vista Series 18' x 48" Pool Set is the prime choice for families because of its superior steel frame design engineered for maximum strength and durability. Plus minimal-tool assembly makes this the easy answer for your backyard pool needs. The Coleman Power Steel Swim Vista Series is unique in that it has 4 windows allowing swimmers to see out of the pool while underwater! The pool also features a natural looking rattan print on the outside and a mosaic print on the bottom. Additional features are corrosion resistant metal frames and a flow control drain valve for easy draining. The extra strong side walls of this pool are constructed with Tritech, a 3 layer reinforced material with a polyester mesh core encased between two layers of high gauge PVC material. This creates a total thickness of 0.40-0.80mm (16-32 gauge) depending on the size of the pool, offering superior strength and durability. The pool is also equipped with a Seal & Lock System for a safe and secure pipe connection. The set includes a safety ladder for easy entry and exit, a pool cover to keep debris out and a protective ground cloth to protect your lawn and the pool.

There were NO instructions for anything. But that's ok, we're pretty smart. ( this is actually commented a lot on the reviews on different store sites.
It really does come with everything you need for the pool. However, the ladder is a little wobbly, and not the greatest. But it works. BUT!!! It does not have the little platform at the top of the ladder, you just step over the side of the pool to the other side. (We will either buy a better ladder or modify this one)
The pump system, its defiantly better than the smaller pool filter system. But I don't believe its gonna be enough for this size pool. Again, we will have to upgrade this too.
As for set up, it really was simple. (even without the instructions.) Once it is all put together, someone NEEDS to get in and smooth out the wrinkles as you start to fill it. You can fill it a little ways with your regular garden hose. Then it is recommended you call someone to come fill it the rest of the way up. Now, when that person is delivering the water, Please go around the pool and check the legs. Make sure they are straight up and down, that they are not leaning any way at all.
Our water delivery man made two trips to fill, so in between the deliveries my daughter did get in to clean the pool. But we haven't actually been swimming yet. Gotta let that water warm up a bit!! Speaking of, I totally suggest grabbing a pool thermometer!!! Such as this one: Yellow Floating Sea Lion Shaped Swimming Pool Thermometer with Cord

We did get some patches for the pool, patches only. Nothing to adhere them with, if we should need them.

We have this Chlorine Dispenser, we've had it for a couple of years, we used it for our smaller pools too.

We do recommend you get a skimmer
Above Ground Pool Deluxe Wall Mount Automatic Skimmer
This will help collect leaves, dirt and bugs.   https://amzn.to/2ttMdHo


Enjoy your new pool,  don't forget to get some floaties :)
