Intex easy set pool

Completely fantastic! What a bargain for £16. Enjoyed it so much. Was meant for my 10 year old but even I got in it sitting on an inflatable ring 🤣 it's a good size! Perfect for 1-2 children under 10. Or parent and child...Go next size up for more kids or adults. It would also be lots of fun for a big dog! It's nice and deep and you can get a pool cover too. Very easy to set up and inflate. Takes a while to fill with the hose as it is deep. Pretty sturdy as my son was running and five bombing in it 😂

We got tired of having to replace the children’s garden pool every few years because of both punctures and unattractive discolouration of the plastic. Garden pools are particularly expensive during the summer months while they don’t last very long - at least not when exposed to our over-active children. Yet with our south-facing inner city patio it can get really hot in summer, so the children do need some water play facility. These Intex pools seemed of much stronger, durable design. Also, in case they prove to be as sturdy as expected the Intex pools offer add-on options and accessories like a cover and perhaps a filter at a later stage. Moreover the reviews were good. I was tempted to order the larger and higher 8-feet pool, but as we have limited outside space it seemed wiser to stick to the smaller 6-feet variant. The pool came neatly presented in a a 60 x 40 x 12 cm box, this is important as it implies there pool doesn’t require too much storage space (also given that only the top ring is inflatable, this pool is easy to deflate and subsequently easy to fold in a compact manner). Included are 3 filter-hole plugs (1 spare) that you’ll have to put in place if you lack this accessory. There is also a filter connection part that remains unused in my case for now. You’ll have to make sure you place the pool on a level area and on a floor cover. We already had a collection of inter lockable rubber play/gym mats on which we placed the pool to have a soft seating and to protect the bottom. Then you’ll have to inflate the top ring, for this a non-electrical pump is advised. In order to spare me the effort of finding our pump, I just inflated it by mouth, which took less than 2 minutes and a few deep breaths. During the early stages of filling with water you’ll then have to make sure to straighten out the bottom mat of the pool. All in all, the set up is less burdensome than a full inflatable children’s pool. However, filling the pool with water took about 40 minutes and a lot of water - be aware that these Intex pools require a substantial quantity of water as they are 2x to 3x as deep as the average inflatable garden pool for young children. So there is a cost to that, and in times of severe drought you may be reprimanded by you neighbours for putting such pool in place. Nevertheless the outcome was very satisfying. It’s is really nice and even a luxury (also for grown ups) to have a reasonably deep pool outside during hot weather. It’s very refreshing for dad to cool down and enjoy a beer in the sun. And the children have a lot of fun with it every day when the weather allows. Most importantly the material of this Intex pool is of high quality, it is made of thick layers plastic that can endure some wild children’s water play. Even the inflatable top ring seems much more durable than a traditional children’s pool. The only drawback is that is lacks standing sides and a supportive top ring. So you can’t really relax and hang on the sides as you will push it down and the water will flow out. Similarly, when our youngest, 6-year old enters the pool he will lean on the top ring for support, but this will cause water to flow out. We have already bought a cover that will keep the water clean and that helps to heat it up a little, I keep this in lace with ratchet straps. I’ve also ordered a somewhat treacherous but affordable pool heater, we’ll see how that works out. The next step would be an investment in an Intex filter. In the mean time I’m looking into adding a well-measured amount of chemicals to the water to keep it clean for more than two days - we live in a hard-ware area and after a couple of days of intensive play the water gets milky and unclear. But overall, very, very pleased with this pool. Highly recommended.

Easy to set up but needs to be filled to the full depth to work probably and takes time to fill to the top.

Easy to setup. Materials seem quite tough compared to other pools. Great value. Good accessories.

Really good and more stable than I expected, good design. Size big/ deap seems like good quality metrial, easy to assemble / inflate deflated simple design that seem like it will bear easer to clean than some other designs. We are very pleasedwith this paddling pool. It a bit like an adult size paddling pool .

This pool is huge. Only the top bit inflates, the rest you have to fill with water. It is sturdy, material is definitely hard wearing. The kids love it. We wouldn't buy again. Actually we have had it a couple of weeks and I want a new one that is smaller. We have never managed to fill the whole thing up, it takes sooooo long to fill it to enough water that the kids can get in. I think it is supposed to be a permanent pool, with a filter etc, not what we bought it for. It rotted the grass underneath which absolutely stinks, takes ages to empty out and clean, and because you need so much water it is absolutely freezing cold, even on a boiling hot day! BUT That is all only if you're daft like me and thought you were getting a big paddling pool for the kids. It's a proper pool. We accidentally had it on a pebble while it was very full...kids could feel it through the material, i managed to partially lift it and remove the stone which was sharp and should have burst the pool...it didn't. Its robust material for sure. You will need a filter unless you want to spend hours emptying and refilling every day. We bought a cover (which heats the pool mildly making it go from maybe -5 to 1°c) we bought a chlorine pool floater thing for over night which smells like a swimming pool so must work. All in all it's a great pool, but not for us in England who get 4 days of consecutive sun every 200 days and need to empty out grass and dead bugs each day.

Nice item and good price

Do not get this, it's absolute rubbish You need absolutely perfectly flat ground otherwise the whole thing warps and doesn't fill properly On my second use, after levelling a perfectly flat area to put it on, the inflatable ring around the pool failed to inflate so a puncture has happened somewhere. In the bin now

Niestety basenu został dostarczony bez filtra.

Compré esta alberca como una solución temporal para mi terraza, pero me gustó y ya va para un año! El unico problema fue que no he podido conseguir la cubierta para la alberca de 1.80 - nadie la vende y por eso se llena de polvo algo más de lo que me gustaría. Tambien un consejo/advertencia - es una alberca de 800 litros, para recircularla bien y para tener un rico chorro con burbujas se necesita una bomba bastante potente y con varios filtros. Para mi fue preferible no comprar ninguna de las bombas de serie de Intex, sino montar una instalación propia.

Buena calidad del material como es de esperar de Intex y un tamaño genial para darte un chapuzón y refrescarte en verano. Viene sin depuradora pero ya tenía una anterior que le viene genial. Solo puedo recomendarlos.

Muito boa!
