| This is the second year that I have used this pool. I bought mine last spring. The only problem that I had with it is a bird landed on it and put a few hole in it. But a vinyl patch fixed the problem. I do recommend I filter with this and chlorine tablets and floater. As it holds 900 gallons and that is a lot of water to be pouring out. But the kids love it, and it is big enough that the parents can float in it and have a good time. |
Plenty of room to swim in.

This is a good size pool for my 5 and 8 year old. Just enough room for my 5 year old to do a few strokes back and forth and swim a little underwater. It's deep enough to pose a drowning hazard for toddlers, but then just don't fill it as high.
The pool lacks an inflated floor, which isn't a problem, unless you've set it up on a hard surface. It has three inflatable rings. The valves are one-way, so air does not escape when the pump nozzle is pulled out. You must provide your own pump, and I recommend an electric one. It's quick and easy to inflate. There are large plugs in each ring for quick deflation. That's really the only way to empty the pool.
My yard slopes a little. Depending on where we put the pool, it might bulge more or less on one side, but the pool doesn't collapse. The octagonal shape does give the walls more strength than a round pool
I've very happy with this pool. It's the biggest inflatable pool that's not the Intex variety that I could find. My kids have plenty of room, even when their friends come over. It can hold 3 to 4 kids comfortably. Of course, you can squeeze in more, and they don't mind! |
blow it up and they will come! great pool if yard is small

We set this pool up in no time, added water and all the neighborhood kids showed up! Mind you, they are 13, so they were all over it, jumping, splashing and bouncing. It is very durable!! In fact, I am going to sell it on craigslist as my husband said it is too small (low) for the teenagers. So we just purchased an intex 15x48 steel sided pool. also purchased the saltwater filter, so I won't have to scoop grass out with my kitchen sifter like I do with this smaller intex pool!! We will have to see how the kids like that one!
