8Ft x 24In Easy Pool Set, 244 cm x 61 cm, Blue

I wasn’t sure about this as I previously had a large frame pool which was excellent, however I no longer have the space so I thought I’d try this as it was so cheap. I didn’t expect much given it cost me £22 but it’s really good value. I put it on a flagstone patio and bought a couple of large tarpaulins to go underneath ( thicker than the cloth) and used a foot pump to blow the ring up. You need to have one person pumping in the air whilst the other keeps the shape of the ring and smooths out any bends. Once this is done, smooth out the bottom and fill it up. Took about 2 hours to fill. After the first couple of inches re smooth the bottom best you can. I don’t have a pump it’s not required. Use a skim net and chlorine. Never had a problem yet including with a bigger pool last year. As you can see, bought the lid too. It’s a bit shallower than I would like but hey it’s cheap and sturdy and no messing about with poles. Comes with latches in case of leaks and stoppers for the pump holes which I have used. To empty you out in the hose attachment and empty with your hose pipe.

We bought this paddling pool to replace a large inflatable hot tub that was being used as a glorified paddling pool in the summer due to the running costs and have been really pleased with it.It's a great size paddling pool for a family and is reasonably easy to set although be warned that it's not as straight forward as simply popping the hose in and leaving it to naturally form it's shape. I found that once it started filling up, I had to work hard to remove creases from the floor from where it had been packaged and stretch it out into a circular shape to ensure that the sides remained even but did do a decent job of it eventually.It is a big paddling pool though so takes circa 4 hours to fill up so once it's up, you're going to want to leave it up for a while so definitely worth buying a lid. It's also worth noting that due to it's size, the water is always going to be pretty cold which is lovely in the height of summer when you want to cool down but is bracing at all other times. On the upside, the temperature of the water meant that it was really easy to maintain really good water quality and I didn't have to put much chlorine in at all.We've had no issues with durability so far so hopefully should last us a good few years.I think this pool is perfect for a family of 3/4 but if it's just for the kids then I'd recommend something smaller due to the set up time and water temperature.

*This review is for the 8ft Intex Easyset Pool*After reading so many reviews which mentioned leaks and trouble with refunds I was dubious about ordering an Intex pool however I went with my gut seeing how many had been sold and with the thinking that most people don't review unless it's negative and I'm so glad I bought one!!It was super easy to inflate by mouth and it took 1.45hrs to fill.I placed it onto a ground sheet and gym mats which were cheap enough from the Factory Shop - it required 4 packs of mats for reference.It's been up over a week now and I've had to reinflate the ring a small amount and top up the water a small amount from use.I bought the pool cover too which does a fabulous job warming the water and, because I didn't want to refill the pool in the summer I purchased the £33 Intex pool pump and chemical kit which are also working fabulously.Don't be put off by negative reviews!!

The pool is nice & robust. I bought it for my 11 year old Grandson to play in when visiting us. It was easy to inflate & hours of fun was had.

I was unable to use has it was split, a full refund was given

Pool is good value for money and easy to set up. This is the second one we have had, the previous one lasted 5 years. Bought some foam floor tiles to place the pool on, this not only protects the base of the pool but makes it more comfortable to use. At the end of the summer care needs to be taken to empty, clean and pack away the pool if you want it to last, fairly easy to do by following the instruction manual. A pump and chemicals are essential to ensure the pool only needs filling once per summer. It gave great relief in the hot summer months for al, the family.

I've bought these pools many times over the last few years, I'm rubbish at storing over winter so usually just buy new every summer.The quality has really gone down as the ring is nowhere near as wide as it used to be.We inflated it last night and within 2 hours whilst being filled the ring had started to deflate. Cannot find the hole anywhere to be able to patch it so complete waste of time.

I have only just received the item, it appears to be good, thank you seller
