 Great pool for a small priceJul 05, 2002
By Misty O.
Having 2 small children I wanted a pool that they would enjoy and would be easy to set up. My kids loved it and my husband and I also lounged in it, it was very refreshing. It was easy to drain when we wanted to change the water. The pool is very well put together and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I much prefer these to the filtered pools that are so popular...(m)May 21, 2008
By Nosewiper
Those filtered pools are quite expensive for a "throwaway" pool, they kill the lawn, the inflatable top rings can be destroyed easily, and I prefer not to have my kids gulping, breathing, and soaking in chlorine all day. That, and they still are hard to keep clean--the filters clog readily and don't work well, especially for sediment on the bottom.
Use a footbath with any pool. The snapsets are easy to skim--just squash down one side and let the water spill over the edge. As long as the sides aren't sharply folded (which causes cracking--always fold the sides in from the vinyl floor!), and rocks and other sharp objects are forbidden, they last at least all summer.
It does take a few bodies to put a large snapset up, but even a toddler can help hold up a side while it fills. If you absolutely must go it alone, carefully-placed buckets or lawn chairs can do the job nicely. You must have level ground, as with any pool--but these are fairly forgiving of irregularities.
Yes, you do use up water with these, as it goes slimy after a few days. But by then, it's time to give the lawn a break--and it gets a good watering at the same time. These things are a cinch to empty, and if you wipe the bottom with a cloth or soft brush to loosen dirt and slime before doing so, it'll be all set for the next filling.
The biggest advantage, of course, is the low price. When someone punctures the bottom or cracks the sidewall, you just buy a new one--and still come out way ahead, financially.

BEST FUN FOR THE PRICE THIS SUMMER!Jul 12, 2007
By BrendaDNurse
I could not believe just how big this pool is once it is put up! We went through the trouble of digging out the area, and clearing up any roots, etc, and even have a "deep end" where we dug down about 2 inches extra! Both our children, the 3.5 year old, and the 20 month old, have tons of fun, its easy to use, and we have not killed it yet! I just wish I knew how to keep it clean! It holds 596 gallons of water, so we dont want to empty it every other day, and it can get slimey! Household bleach seems to be working, but for $20, I could not be happier, I even told everyone at work how great it is!

 Wonderful, inexpensive poolSep 01, 2008
By Aithne J
This pool is great! It is absolutely incredible for the price. We have had no problems with it except the sides folded in a little bit on the top since we had put a tarp over it. It is a huge pool for the price and my girls (6 & 2) love it. It was simple for my husband and I to set up, and we haven't had any leakage at all. We had an inflatable pool before that kept getting holes in it from our cats trying to drink out of it. The cats have completely left this one alone. We have used a non-chlorine product to keep it algae-free so I don't have to keep emptying it. I can even "swim" in it with them! Perfect for hot days!

 Not durable - won't last more than a few usesJun 28, 2009
By T. Wehrenberg
"toadwbg"
I wanted to try out something other than an inflatable pool so tried this product, was not impressed. Side walls are very flimsy making it difficult to fill. Most all kids pools are difficult to empty. When emptied the flimsy walls easily become bent and folded randomly weakening where the fold was (like a piece of folded paper), this eventually leads to tear and a leak point after a few uses. By the 3rd or 4th time filling/unfilling this pool had several holes that were too numerous to deal with. Was thrown in the trash.
My reccomendation is to skip over this product. I also reccomend when for a kids pool also look for something that is easy to empty (designed with drain).
