This pool is awesome. I found in on sale at a large toy store and was incredibly pleased.Now I can't find that low price but it's still worth any amount! I use a car cover for the top and a mattress pad underneath to keep it clean and make it comfortable.I bought a foot pump from a small boat dealer for $40 and love it. Blows it up in less than 10 minutes of pumping. We don't use clorine at all. I use a cup of active oxygen non chlorine bleach on the 3rd day and then scoop the water out to use for my landscaping on the 6th when it gets too dirty from the kids. This is far more environmentally friendly and less toxic to the kids too. Saves money on landscape watering too. Plus you and the kids get a good work out.This is a GREAT pool!I ripped the bottom one day after 2 years of heavy use( we live in FL) by leaving it up against our stucco sided house after cleaning it.My bad!
