Intex 8ft X 30in Easy Set Pool Set with Filter Pump

In the review, there are a few more tricks and tips! So far, everything has gone well; we began by opening and setting up on the grass, but later decided that a more level concrete slab would be a better option. We needed a cleaner area to set the pool on, so we drained what we had filled in a few minutes and set it up on the patio quickly. After the first 5 minutes of huffing and puffing, I was able to inflate the top/rim upper support ring. From there, I smoothed out the bottom of the heavy vinyl liner and began filling; for the first 15 minutes, I gently stretched out the vinyl liner, gently smoothing it out as it filled; for the first ten minutes, I gently stretched out the vinyl liner, gently smoothing it out as it filled; for the first ten minutes, I gently stretched out the vinyl liner, gently smoothing it out as it filled; for the After 15 minutes, the water's weight will be too great to stretch the liner bottom any further. br>br>In total, it took about 30-45 minutes. It took 40 minutes to fill the pool all the way to the top rim. While filling, get those hoses in place because as the water rises to the area where the hose ports are, it will begin to drain out the hoses unless the hoses are attached to the pump with the clamps provided to the pump etc. the entire thing is fairly simple to hook up, take your time identifying the pump hose parts listed in the instructions as they are illustrated very small and a little difficult to identify, once you understand the sequence/route for the hoses it should be f br>br>For the price, I have to say, this is a really nice little pool! In appreciation of the smart design, especially the very fine stability of the bottom as well as the smaller tapers, the pool comes in quite nicely against all others, giving the shape its own unique feel and feel pleasing to the eye. br>br>It doesn't come with any kind of ladder or way in or out other than pushing down the upper rim/doughnut, so it's nice to be able to squish down the rim and step over. Yes, some water spills out each time, but the inflatable rim ensures that water loss is kept to a minimum because it always returns to its correct position, stopping further water loss each time. Brilliant! If you couldn't tell, I'm a big fan of this thing! br>br>It's large enough for an adult to sit in, and at 6'3", the water Lime would fall around my neck. A 4 year old child standing in the pool with the water just below their chin or neck area is able to stand in the pool and have the water just below their chin or neck area, so it's nice that they are mostly submerged with the option of standing up at any time if they have a problem. Always keep an eye on your child and never leave them alone, even for a second, as a child can drown in a matter of seconds. As long as you're present and your child is tall enough to stand and have the water fall below their chin, they should be able to play in the pool alone while you keep an eye on them. br>br>I've updated the photo; the fittings do leak a little if the clamps aren't placed directly over the rubber o-ring. As the clamps are put in place, the ring will start to ring. Despite this, the plastic clamps are unable to provide a leak-proof seal. If you can't live with this, I'd suggest replacing the provided plastic clamps with better steel clamps. br>br>NOTE: if you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is the place to be If you liked this review, please give it a "thumbs up/like" so that I can keep providing you with honest/unbiased information about products I've used and that you might be interested in.

This pool is one of our favorite features. I'd like to repeat a couple of points I've seen in other reviews. 1. br>br> There are a few more things you'll need. A solar cover is a must-have. It keeps debris out of the pool while also warming it up. It is not necessary to use the other Intex cover that covers the entire top. We gave up after one use because it's difficult to get along with just one person. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br Purchase a tablet holder that floats in the water. Ours came from Tuesday Morning (which occasionally has great pool items). Amazon is where we get our Clorox chlorine tablets. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. Filters must be purchased. They're available at the Kroger in our neighborhood. I usually purchase them when they are on sale at the end of the season and keep them until the following year. 4. br>br> You may need to re-inflate your ring every now and then. We've discovered that after a new pool's initial fill, the material stretches and we need to add more air. 5. br>br> With two people, it's a lot easier to deal with. When you're ready to start adding water, pull the bottom a little to smooth out any wrinkles. Take the time to think about it. It will be well worth your time and effort. 6. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br> Ours lasts two seasons (though the solar cover may only last one season at a time). The material simply degrades as a result of our heat. 7. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br> If necessary, you can apply patches. I've given it a shot and had mixed results. There are patches available for purchase that can be applied to the pool even when it is filled with water. 8. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br> The cost can fluctuate. We paid $83, but it's now $70 if you look online. So, if you can plan ahead, keep in mind that as the season progresses, they will become less expensive. You should also be aware that you are purchasing an inflatable pool for the sum of $80. They aren't designed to be used as a strong in-home security system. pools that are built into the ground or those that are framed above ground pools But it's ideal for us; I spend my summers lounging on a floaty with a glass of wine, SPF 50, and a good book.

The size of the filter pump is insufficient. Before you buy this pool, there are a few things you should be aware of. 1. br>br> You must have an even surface or 98% of the way there if you want to get there at all price price price price price price price Period. If you don't have a minimum of 8x8 of level ground to put the pool on, don't buy it. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br This pool's filter is completely ineffective. This was mentioned in reviews, but I dismissed it as naysayers. Buy the pool without the filter for a little less money, then upgrade to the larger filter for $60 or the $105 small sand filter. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. That sand filter is a great deal because it can also pump water out of the pool if you need to drain it or take it down at the end of the season for any reason. I spent $50 on a pump for this, but now I wish I had spent another $50 on a sand filter. 4. br>br> It's easier to stretch the bottom of the pool and make sure it's even and wrinkle-free if you put it on a foam base (I used 4x8 foam insulation sheets). The pool must be on a level surface, and any wrinkles must be removed. 5. br>br> The filter suck's instructions. So here's something to think about. In this pool, there are three holes. The jet exits through the highest hole, which connects to the filter's lower outlet. The other two holes are for the suction/strainer type, which plugs into the higher port on the filter and pulls water from the pull. The two short tubes connect to the t fitting, while the longer tubes connect to the jet and filter, as well as the t fitting and filter's bottom. You now have all of the information you require. br>br>4 stars because the filter is useless. I've only had the pool for 8 hours and have yet to use it, but it looks great. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>b My eight-year-old son and I have both been in it several times per week. It's still in good condition. Every 2 hours, the ring must be topped up with air. 3 days. That's not a big deal because we have a pump. As I previously stated, the filter is insufficient for this pool. It's filtering because I just replaced the filter, which was filthy but not nearly enough. I would highly recommend purchasing the larger filter, which is currently on sale for $35 on Amazon. Here's what I got when I bought this pool. br>br>Chlorine Stabilizer - br>br>Chlorine Stabilizer - br>br>Chlorine St Place two tablets in the pool and test it every few days. Try to keep two full tablets in the pool at all times. It has passed every single day of testing so far. br>br>Floater of chlorine - strips - Every two weeks, drain the water and re-top with the pump. The pump is also on the pool's bottom, so it cleans it. It's an optional purchase, but it'll allow me to drain the pool into a sewer system that leads to the street. br>br>I can't say anything bad about the pool; it's still going strong, the hose leaks are minor, and the filter is as it should be. I would recommend this pool to anyone who has a small yard, doesn't want to spend a lot of time maintaining it, has young children, or simply wants a place to relax and cool off. br>br>**** 7/5/2018**** Updatebr>The large filter is currently available for $40. The 1000 GPH filter is what you're looking at. You can also use this filter to clean the pool's bottom by attaching an Intex vacuum to it. I strongly advise you to buy that filter, keep the one that came with the pool as a backup, or purchase this pool without a filter. br>br>We've also had a few days with temperatures in the high 90s and low 100s. We've had a lot of use out of this pool over the years, and it's still going strong and doing its job.
