We love love love our new pool, specially during lockdown. We’re recommending it all our friends, that way they’ll stay busy and maintain the social distancing that we’re required.
Me and hubby get im from time to time after we finish working from home. It’s so relaxing. Also, the quality is good and it holds my kitty’s claws pretty well without breaking lol.
I bought this pool crossing my fingers, many good and bad reviews said things were missing or that the pool had holes out of the box. This was my first pool of this type and I have...

I bought this pool crossing my fingers, many good and bad reviews said things were missing or that the pool had holes out of the box. This was my first pool of this type and I have several friends with similar pools working fine.
My box was missing the dvd instruction and the waterproof glue in the repair kit. The material of the pool is flimsy for $100+ that I paid for the pool and you have to treat it very carefully.
You can see the dents from being boxed and the bottom lining is even softer... I looked up on youtube and found instructions for building the pool and even for the water filter that comes with it.
I built the pool mostly by myself, hubby just helped me stretch out the bottom of the pool flat..There are many metal pieces but they are easy to distinguish, the one with two holes goes across with the curvy t one and then the legs snap into place to stand the pool up.. once I filled up the pool I noticed a hole at the bottom and two tiny pin holes on one side.
without the repair kit it was a bummer. I fixed it with a pool repair kit from k-mart. I barely lost water by holding the hole at the bottom with a vinyl repair patch and a weight until I got a repair kit.
Youtube also has repair instructions.. very easy-glue and stick. I also found the written instructions for the water filter confusing and that was on youtube.
I bought 3 inch chlorine tablets and placed one in a chlorine dispenser, I tested the water with a kit from kmart since the one I bought on amazon did not arrive at that point and I added a bit of ph plus.
I bought a $5.00 algaecide and poured about 2 oz just in case, since my pool is under the open sun. It took a long time to fill up the pool, maybe I dont have enough water pressure.. and since then it has been nothing but fun in the sun.
The water is clear and I have not had to add anything else to it. I put the filter to run two hours and it seems to be working fine. It beats drilling the ground to set up a pool.
My yard is a concrete floor and I did place a mat at the bottom of the pool. It was easier than what I thought and I think Intex should make these pools stronger... and make sure all parts including dvd and repair kit are included .
I do warn the kids to use the bathroom often and not the pool as a bathroom, they bathe before entering pool and I use a fish net to catch any tiny bugs that die in the pool... fun fun fun, I like it but come on they can make them better...I have learned to scoop out bugs and shock the pool and filter it daily and add ph up and check the ph and chlorine level .
I cant lie although having a pool at home in NYC is fun it is time consuming. Many times I make the kids wait 3 to 4 hrs to use the pool to ensure the pool is filtered and that ph levels and etc.
are correct. I have the whole summer off ;) so this is not terrible but its something to think about :).
I took off the strainer from the bottom hole in the pool that attaches to the filter to allow bugs to filter through the pump and since I have a concrete yard I havent had problems with algae.
My neighbors have plants and so I do encounter bugs especially after rain so I use a small mount of the shocking powder for this small pool. Fun fun fun :)
Perfect size pool for small family. Good instructions, and grateful to be able to have such luxury up here in the mountains. Feeling very blessed! Thank you Jesus!
