“10ft Intex Easyset with filter” 2010-07-05
By Poodlemum
We have just recently purchased this pool and have used it every day since. The first pool we received had a small leak at one of the seams when we first started filling it, but the company were brilliant and we had a new replacement within 48 hours. I would highly recommend you buy a cover, otherwise you will spend all your time skimming insects and other debris out of the pool. We also purchased a heater, which takes the chill off the pool when you first get in. Bring on summer!!!

i bought this pool not that long ago,i wish i never bought its a waste of money it take about 5hrs to fill a 10in pool i also bought the poolheater at thats pointless as it would take a whole day to heat and u cant keep it heating when u are in in so there 4 u have cold water all the time ive put it up once and already had 2 little holes in it.once u fill the pool u would have to keep it up the whole summer and will need chlorine in it and cover.

My family thought I was mad getting this (they’re all grown up in their 20′s)but are also very envious. Its just great to get home from work on a hot day and jump in the pool. It cost me nigh on £200 by the time I bought the extras, like the heater, steps, chemicals, cleaning kit, cover etc., but absolutely worth it.
Take the time to prepare properly. Mine is on a patio, so its pretty flat. Underneath I’ve used the matting you would use in a caravan awning. It works really well and doesn’t matter if its wet.
It may be called easy set up and I suppose it is quite easy, but it takes several hours. Mine’s been in use now for 2 months and is still very clean. This, I believe is because I make sure to keep it in good nick by testing strips, filter and chemicals etc, it really is worth doing this, I don’t intend emptying mine till the end of the season, which I’m sure with care it will be fine and it will definitely be up again early next year.
Overall I can highly recommend it, remember water safety rules when kids around, it is after all more of a swimming pool than a paddling pool. Enjoy.
“we’re going to need a bigger boat…” 2007-07-25

I naively thought this was a big kids (or indeed adults) paddling pool. I was wrong. This is a serious bit of kit. In the title where it says 10ft diameter dimensions, it literally does mean 10ft diameter. Of course I know what 10ft looks like, but here’s a tip, IMAGINE in your head what 10ft looks like, then in reality add about 50%. You will probably come close to the actual size of this thing. You don’t imagine it being as big as it is! It is huge. I am soooo glad I didn’t go for a bigger one.
So Step 1: Get over the shock of the size of it, it will be useful to get confirmation, counselling, in depth discussion and opinion from your neighbour, wife, postman, anybody willing to listen…
Step 2: Preparation. Although it is sold as a simple concept ‘easy set’- beware this is not an ankle deep splash pool. This a small swimming pool! You will need a level garden, you will need a huge amount of old carpet to put down on said garden to protect from punctures, before you then lay your pool on top, and you will need to say a loving farewell to the grass underneath – you wont be seeing that again – within 10 days of installing, the grass is already as dead as a dead thing.
Step 3: Installation. It is recommended you buy an electrical pump. “Ha!” I thought. “I don’t need an electrical pump.” 100 exhausting puffs later with little to show for it and I had a rethink… actually not quite – luckily for me my free stand bicycle pump, if you unscrewed the end, fitted the nozzle perfectly (about 2.5 cm in diameter). It’s only the upper ring around the top that need pumping up, I personally think that’s a waste of money for a electric pump -just don’t try to do it by lung power alone. Installation time could well be extended by several hours, and you could well collapse.
Ok so we now have the top ring pumped upped and primed. I found the stopper needed a ring of masking tape around to be a perfect fit. Now for water – put about an inch in, and try to pull out any wrinkles you can. (harder than it looks). It would be helpful to get a second person here. Note the word ‘person’. A 3 year old black labrador is next to useless. Install the pump – pretty easy to follow instructions and we are getting there.
Now it is wrinkle free, and pump (still switched off) is attached, it starts to get simple. Turn on tap, put hose in pool and wait…. And wait…. And wait…. And wait…. It took the best part of 4-5 hours to fill up for us. That’s about 1000 gallons. ( I dread to think of my next water bill!)
Step : Playtime: Wait for the kids to come home from school! This IS for them – right? Smaller kids may need a step to get in to it as you aren’t supposed to compress the sides at all. But it is big enough for a couple of adults & kids to have good fun in it. Suggestions for awesome games = pool wrestling; erm… wrestle your opponent to the floor in the pool darn it. Find the coin; pretty much as it sounds. Whirlpool. Try to get as much water spinning around as you can and then float back and go for a spin. Geddit? A spin? Or my personal favourite; send kids to bed on a hot summer’s night, get cold beer, relax under water.
For £50 it really is worth the money. However. £50 doesn’t even to begin to cover what you need.
Step 5: Maintenance. You will also need a cover to stop bugs n stuff getting in (actually some of the little ones still manage to get in): £10. you also need a pool cleaning kit compromising a net and suction device for the hose (to clean the top and bottom of pool respectively): £15. You will also need to find – from a pool shop – pool chemicals. Again here was me thinking that it was a simple case of a chlorine tablet now and again. Wrong! I had to buy chlorine powder (weekly), a chemical to raise the PH of water to optimum level for chlorine to work (weekly as necessary) a chemical to lower the PH of water (weekly as necessary), algae remover (fortnightly), a kind of flash out (cleans everything out) (monthly) + test strips: £30. Puncture repair kit… ooh! That one’s free with it. Wahoo! Oh and don’t forget to wash the filter in the pump out weekly! I’m sure it will need replacing once a season aswell.
Plus whilst on the subject of money, god knows how much 1,000 gallons of water will cost. Also the electricity to run the pump for 4 hours a day over the summer (ok I don’t run it for this long.. or every night. My bad, but it seems like overkill to me), the carpet – free from a friend throwing out or will you have to slip the carpet shop a tenner for some scraps? A pump of some sorts? £25-£40. Oh and don’t forget a box or 2 of grass seed and compost to re-seed that lawn! A £50 pool fast becomes £150!
But all in all, the kids love it, the adults love it, it’s a talking point, and although a bit of an eyesore in the garden (but then again who wants to live in a show home / garden with no fun after all?!) it really is a great buy. Highly recommended.
