Customer Reviews
My parents bought this pool for a big summer party they had, and a ton of kids used it(I'd estimate 20 kids, mostly under 7 years, in and out of it all day)Then I took it home and set up for my daughter's 5th birthday, which saw 8 kids jumping, swimming and spalshing in it. And we've used it daily since then (all summer). It did have a small pin-hole after the first use that probably happened in moving it to our house (in the back of the truck)but was easily patched with clear Liquid Nails. We haven't had any trouble with deflating, collapsing, leaking, etc. since then.
It is a pain to drain the water because the weight of the full pool keeps water from getting out of the small drain hole on the bottom (we've tried on the grass and on the driveway - even overnight the thing is still full)I have to let the air out of the top 2 rings to get the water out. But we bought a large bicyle-type pump(in the pool section of ToysRUs)which works ok - air compressor would be better.
It does get dirty-particularly with our hard water. So even with a cover and chlorine I have to dump the water every few days. It would be nice to have a filter, but then again - it's only a $30 pool. I give the kids a butterfly net and have them get the grass out when they are playing in the pool.
The kids absolutely love it I have 3 obnoxious little monsters, 3, 5 & 7 years and they give it a pretty strenuous workout every day. It's held up well and will hopefully still be useable for next year. On the REALLY hot days, I even get in with them, and I can see why they love it. They can really swim in it, rather than "wade" like they did in the little plastic one.
It won't compare to the easy-set type pools with filters etc., but it's a great kiddie-pool. I plan to have this pool or one like it for at least a few more years.
