Review: Sturdy and good fun. Very pleased with this, highly
recommended - 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.
