I keep a floating chlorine dispenser in the pool all year to protect against algae. I also change some of the water about once per 2-weeks - the grass appreciates the extra water. Into the second year, and holding together well. Comfy! Not for swimming, but great for getting wet. Good size for a few smaller kids and/or 1-2 big ones. (I got it for me.)

A variety of heating options are available from the simple to use 3KW Intex heater to the high quality Elecro stainless steel heaters. A cost-effective solar panel kit is also available. A filter pump will be required to run a heater with this pool.heaters. A cost-effective solar panel kit is also available. This is a soft-sided pool. The air ring at the top keeps the fabric above the water. The pool is pretty sturdy when filled up to the ring. It gets a bit squishy if it has less water in it, but still holds the water. You cannot sit on the sides - this will allow water to pour out. You can lean up against the inner edge but the shape of the pool side really doesn't give you much support, so if you are bigger than a kid you may not find it comfortable. You absolutely must have an even surface or 98% of the way there. Period. Do not buy the pool if you do not have at least 8x8 of level ground to put it on.I have nothing bad to say about the pool, it is still going strong, the leaks at the hoses are very minimal and the filter is what it is. I would recommend buying this pool to someone who has a small area, doesn't want to spend a lot of time keeping it up, and has young kids or just wants something to relax in and cool off. I’ve included an updated photo, the fittings do leak a bit if the clamps are not positioned directly over the rubber o-ring as the clamps are installed. Even so the plastic clamps really aren’t able to ensure a leak proof fit. If this isn’t something you’d be able to live with, I’d recommend getting better steel clamps in place of he provided plastic ones. The plastic is sturdy and good for 1 summer about 7 to 8 months. Every year I find I have to replace the pool as the top develops leaks in the plastic air ring. I assume its the sun (ultraviolet light probably) plus the chlorine I add. The plastic becomes too brittle to bother with trying to repair it. This is why it got a four star instead of a five. It might last longer if you drain it and store it in-between uses - I literally leave it in the yard all year.

But the bugs do still find it... Popping it up provides a nice shady spot to soak my burns-too-easy skin. (But do take the cover off or stake it down, when it's too windy. Particularly near your pool. If it blows over...) I shuffle it out of the way or remove the top if I want warmer water. (And maybe extend 2 legs and keep 2 legs short, when I want to ruin the nosy neighbor's view...) stars due to a useless filter. I have only just set the pool up and haven't used It yet but it's been up for 8 hrs and looks good.
