Intex6ft x 20in Easy Set Swimming Pool #28101, Blue

I’m an adult & purchased this 3 years ago to cool down in the summer . I chose this pool because its very deep at 76cm but not too big so doesn’t dominate the garden. The inflatable design is very clever & works well. It has no frame so comes in a small box , it must be easy to import / ship & so represents excellent value for money .Some reviewers grumble about the inflatable style but it works well & just needs to be set up properly & on level ground. The key is to smooth any ripples out of the bottom as you fill with water & fill to a high level which helps it hold its shape . I lay old mats / rugs underneath to help protect base from punctures.In my opinion the material is thick & the design is very robust . At the end of summer I clean & dry well before storing for winter . I've had mine 3 years now and its still going strong . I imagine if you had kids jumping in & playing with toys etc it wouldn’t last so long but I bet they’d have a great time ! The cover is a good purchase to keep leaves, bugs & debris out. And I did eventually buy filter pump to help keep water clean. When set up it holds a lot of water & is a superb way to cool down - very refreshing . Its very big / deep and I can hardly believe it only costs £30 or £40 - it feels like it should be worth a lot more - Very pleased : )

This is a fantastic pool! Bought as I was sick of paddling pools which puncture when you look at them, such a waste. I might not have read the dimensions so it is way bigger than I had planned, luckily it does still fit on the deck (note you need a flat surface, and I don't think you would want to put it on grass).It took SIX HOURS to fill, but if I can keep the water clean then I'm okay with the water use as I intend to leave it up until the end of summer which is probably less water overall than emptying/filling a more flimsy pool.Really easy to put up, it's only the top rim that is inflatable and then the water pushes the rest into place.It's big enough for 2 lilos, 2 adults and a child to splash around in.You will definitely want a cover if you are going to leave it up (and you would have to be crazy to not leave it up).Price wise I think this is really good value compared to paddling pools, because it is so much better and I feel sure it will be reusable for years. However, do be aware that if you leave it up you will then need to buy a cover and chemicals to keep the water safe, along with test strips, and this does add a fair bit on. And if you don't do this and want to refill, it will cost you the best part of 1,000 gallons of water each time.

I bought this Intex Easy Set Swimming Pool for my two children at the beginning of Summer and they have had so much fun splashing around in it when we have set it up for them. The pool has easily fit both of my children and also my Husband inside it with room still spare for another adult and maybe two more children.Setting up is really easy and if you are not using this on a grassed or soft area then I would advise to put some sort of padding between the pool and the floor to prevent any damage or punctures. The pool does seem to take a while to fill and took a good 30minutes although this could also partly be because my Husband adds warm water to the pool so that the water temperature is warm for our children getting in.The only negative I have about the pool is that it doesn't come with a cover which has proven a little difficult to track one down that fits and so this has meant emptying and re-filling the pool each weekend we have used it which is a definite waste of water. A really good pool and a much better size than a paddling pool as it had meant my children have been able to practice floating and paddling from side to side (with supervision of course) which they would not have been able to do in their old paddling pool. As I have said the only downside is the lack of pool cover and it would have been nice to have had the option to purchase a cover with the pool for a little bit extra.

Excellent pool and well worth the money paid. Bigger than expected but not complaining at all.
