We bought this pool for our son who loves it! According to another review on the site, the reviewer states it does not come w/the items it shows in the picture and the ad, however it does. She must have looked at a different brand. We bought the 8′ model, and it has the filter, and hoses, and everything works great. It was easy to assemble, keep clean, and provides our young son w/a great summer activity.

My family and I bought this pool a week ago at our local Target store. The pool comes with everything you see in the picture. The only tools you need are a flat head screw driver to loosen and tighten the clamps for the hoses…other then that it is very simple and fast to set up.
This pool is great for anyone who has a small yard, or would just like a small cool, refreshing pool to relax in on hot summer days. For my family…i can’t seem to get my three kids out of the pool. They have a great time playing and just simply cooling off on our hot and sunny days. I would defiantly recommened to buy this pool….

Last year I bought an Aero pool that was not worth the $100+ I spent for it, and was a huge pain to boot. This year I bought this pool, and yes it takes more than 30 minutes to put together, yes 2 people to set up is better than one, and yes I have to air up the ring pretty much before each use. But you get terrific value for price. My 8 year old, 6 year old and 4 year old and up to 2-3 friends have all used it. They’re even able to swim under water which is great. And it’s terrific for kids learning to swim. It’s not as great as an inground pool, but for someone with a small backyard, it’s great. My kids want to swim every day now. I don’t usually write reviews but considering the price and the use we’re getting out of it, it’s great!

OK, the filter is lousy, but consider what it is…a BLOW-UP Pool! My daughter is three years old, and this is perfect for her to gain confidence without having to wear floatation devices, plus…it’s been one doozy of a hot summer and this functions for the occasional cool off. Expectations should not be high. After all, you can empty it, deflate it, and store it in the garage. Great for what what it is.

I bought this pool after my disasterous experience with the first one I purchased, which was an Intex 90″ x 22″ Swim Center Color Whirl Pool (please read the review I wrote about it before you consider buying that product). I purchased the pool alone (without the filter or other accessories) after reading several poor reviews about the quality of the filter that comes with the set. Instead of purchasing the 300 gallon/hour filter, I bought the Intex Easy Set 800 GPH pool pump/filter, which has been keeping the water clean without difficulty. If you are considering purchasing this pool, I would recommend that you do the same. In addition, I would also recommend buying the following items (many of these can be found at local stores if you would like to save money on shipping and handling):
1) a ground cloth…you can save some money by purchasing a Southern Camp 10′ x 10′ Blue Tarp (available at Amazon for a fraction of the price you’ll spend on one that’s labeled as a “swimming pool ground cloth” and it works just the same);
2) a pool cover…you can also use the tarp mentioned above for this purpose (just make sure you buy 2; one for use as a ground cloth and the other for a cover), but I would recommend buying a round pool cover that’s made for this type of pool because it stays in place better (it has drawstrings to help secure it to the inflatable ring);
3) pool chemicals…specifically: chlorine (in granular form), pH increaser (soda ash), pH decreaser (pool acid), algaecide/clarifier, conditioner, and pool shock (many of these chemicals are sold together in pool maintenance kits; just make sure the kit you purchase in suitable for use in inflatable pools)…also, you will need a chemical test kit for measuring pH and chlorine levels (these are usually included in pool maintenance kits, as well);
4) a pool skimmer net, a nylon pool brush, and a pole that can be used with both;
5) a package of spare filter cartridges for use with the pool pump/filter you purchase;
6) an Intex Pool Surface Skimmer/Leaf Basket (this is optional, but it does help keep the pool surface free of leaves and bugs) NOTE: THE SKIMMER CAN ONLY BE USED WITH A 500 GALLON PER HOUR INTEX POOL PUMP/FILTER OR LARGER (IT WILL NOT WORK WITH SMALLER MODELS)…AS I STATED BEFORE, I RECOMMEND BUYING THE 800 GALLON/HOUR MODEL; and
7) a pool ladder (this is also optional; you’ll only need it if you have children who are too short to step over the sides of this pool).
I bought all of the items mentioned above and I couldn’t be any happier with the end result. I haven’t had any of the water leakage or air leakage problems that I had with the first pool I purchased, even though I set it up in exactly the same spot. I was also able to set it up the entire system without any assistance. From start to finish, it took about 3 hours until it was ready to swim in. This pool seems to be quite durable; the whole family has been playing and splashing in it almost every day this summer, without any problems arising. It does cost more to buy the extra maintenance supplies and the pool parts separately (rather than buying the set with a filter that won’t do the job), but it has been worth the investment. And, unlike the Intex 90″ x 22″ Swim Center Color Whirl Pool, with a little bit of daily maintenance (checking the pH and chlorine levels, and using the skimmer net when needed), the water has remained clean, clear, and most importantly, IN THE POOL!

This pool is great. The thing you have to remember is the size of it before you order it (8ft diameter/ 30 in. height). As long as you are aware of that then you can’t possibly have any complaints. Its wonderful for cooling off on a hot day or for small children to actually swim around and play in (we’ve had a 4, 7, and 9 yr old in it playing, swimming and splashing and also three adults and a baby at one time cooling off and I think more would even fit). It is super easy to set up with two people, but its even doable with just one person. We have had ours up for a month now and no problems… the air ring needed a little more air only once so far and the filter works like a charm. As long as you have a tarp underneath, proper cover, keep your chemical and pH levels properly adjusted, and run the filter, this pool can last awhile without being emptied/refilled. Great fun at a bargain price (we got ours for $[...]).

This is the only 8 foot pool I could find with a filtration system. And for $50, was well worth the money. My kids have played in it every day this summer. With proper water chemistry, everything stayed nice and clean all summer and I only had to change the water once (just too much grass and dirt collected). The vinyl held up well to the pool chemicals and — while noisy — the circulation pump seems to be lasting a long time too. I assume this pool will last at least one more season and my hope is maybe a few more!
I have the pool sitting on a wooden deck and the bottom is strong enough to span the decking boards (no more than a quart inch between boards) without being an issue.
At 30″ deep, the kids have gained a lot of confidence in the water. It’s deep enough where they can dunk their heads but not so deep that I have to constantly worry about someone falling. Plus, with the floating pool rim, you can fill it high or as low as you want (as long as the intake for the circulation pump is submerged which is about 20 or so inches off the ground) and the rim rises or lowers accordingly.
Only thing that I can’t seem to get to work right is the drain plug. It drains so slowly into a 50-foot garden hose that after an hour, the water level dropped about an inch. I scrapped that technique and used a utility pump to drain the pool.
Would definitely recommend.

This will be our 5th year purchasing this pool. I normally buy it at Target, but this year the price of this pool in store is $20 more than it is on Amazon ($60 – it’s $80 in Target). Because of the affordable price, we replace it every year.
I agree with one of the former reviewers. You DO need a drop cloth, but any drop cloth will do…we use indoor/outdoor carpet. The pool cover is essential to keep the pool free of bugs and debris. The ladder makes it safer to use the pool. We have found the filter included has done the job well, you do need to run the filter overnight and you must unplug it while the pool is in use. The key to keeping this pool clean is in chlorinating and treating the pool as directed. I purchase the whole chemical package each season and it lasts the whole summer. You will need to replace the filter once per month.
This really is the best money I spend each summer. My kids use it almost every day. I would purchase a larger one if I had the room, but this size is still doing the job. I have three children with the oldest being 9 and it really is enough to keep them interested. They spend hours in the pool each day.
It does set up easy, filling it takes a few hours, but other than that, IT IS A GREAT POOL for very little money.

[NOTE- THIS IS A 5 STAR RATING]
OK, I bought this pool to replace the annual baby pool ritual that normally costs around $40.00. With the typical baby pool, you fill it up and replace the water when dirty (almost every time).
To be honest, I was not too optimistic when I bought this and really did not expect much. However, this is perhaps my surprise purchase of the year. I am amazed at the quality of the product, ease of setup, clear instructions, and the thoughtfulness of the manufacturer (I refer to the included DVD). Excluding time to fill up the pool, setup was 15 minutes w/ one person.
When you buy this keep in mind you will need a pump available to inflate the top ring (and only the top ring). You will also need to obtain some pool chemicals (algae guard, chlorine, shock, and I recommend sanitizer).
