Take the plunge: This Intex above-ground pool is a wild $1,200 off for Memorial Day!

The dog days of summer will be here in no time, and while lounging near the AC is nice, there's nothing quite as refreshing as taking a dip to beat the heat. That said, going to the beach involves packing up the car (not to mention dealing with sand), and installing a pool can cost thousands — but it doesn't have to. Amazon has gifted us an incredible early Memorial Day sale on Intex pools and accessories, including a top seller for over $1,200 off — more than 60% in savings. Whether you're looking for a family-size behemoth or a smaller model, these are our picks.

Intex Ultra XTR Deluxe Rectangular Above Ground Swimming Pool

$743$2,000Save $1,257

This 18' x 9' beauty is 45 inches deep and can accommodate a whole family. Best of all? It's ready for water in an hour!

$743 at Amazon

This popular above-ground pool includes a removable, slip-resistant ladder that can hold up to 300 pounds, a sand filter pump to keep that water sparkling, a debris cover with a rope tie and a ground cloth for extra protection from sharp objects. Considering all of this costs less than $800, it's an absolute steal!

Oh, and leaks? They're no match for the pool's puncture-resistant, three-ply liner. That said, you'll also receive an easy-fix patch just in case, and the two-year warranty provides extra peace of mind. Plus, this bad boy is equipped with hydro-aeration technology for superior filtration, circulation and clarity, and its dual suction outlet fittings improve the pool's hygiene for cleaner swims.

Set up might seem a little daunting, but it's actually no biggie. The durable, rust-resistant galvanized steel frame snaps together via a locking system, meaning you won't need any special tools for assembly. Just note that putting it together is easier with more than one person, and you will need to ensure the ground is level ahead of time. Once the area is flat, you can have it up and ready to be filled in as little as an hour.

With thousands of perfect five-star ratings, this deluxe pool is a hit with Amazon customers. "Best summer purchase!" exclaimed an enthusiastic swimmer. "It holds up to jumping kids, definitely has been enjoyed every day. It was easy to set up and fill, and the pump keeps up with the size. ... It’s a 10/10 for us."

"We have owned other pop-up pools in the past and definitely enjoy this one the most," wrote a happy shopper. "Keeping the pool clean has been extremely easy. The sand filter pump is amazing and keeps the water crystal clear all the time. Way less maintenance than pools I have owned in the past. The pool is sturdy and I know we will be getting years of use out of it."

"We are pleasantly surprised and are enjoying our pool," shared a concise convert. "It is the perfect size for three or four adults."
