Intex Swim Centre Family Inflatable Pool, 103' x 69' x 22' (Assorted Colors: Blue or Green)

Going to have loads of fun with this, but the weather at the moment is raining can’t wait till it warms up. We’re gonna have fun fun fun.

Bought this pool for my boys to enjoy in the back garden during the summer. I am very pleased with my purchase and my kids love it.It’s very easy to inflate (I used an electric inflator that came with an inflatable mattress and it was ready in 3 minutes!).It’s very sturdy as it is comfortably resisting my two kids putting it to the test!There are two negatives under my point of view:1. It has a valve on the floor to one of the sides which I guess it is to let the water go when you want to empty it. It is quite useless because being on the floor it barely allows the water to come out. Furthermore, it would be a lot more convenient locating this valve elsewhere in a way that you could connect a pipe or something to divert the water to a drainage hole. I had been forced to empty the pool with buckets which is quite tiring and not ideal. It’s not nice when you step on it either.2. This pool holds a big amount of water. In fact quite a lot of it! Therefore it is reasonable to think that you would wish to treat the water in order to maximise its use. Unfortunately it does not contain any kind of valve system IN/OUT to filter the water with a pump. Such a shame, particularly for those of us on a water meter!Finally I would have preferred the floor of the pool to be on a dark colour rather than white. This way it would naturally warm the water with the sun hitting the pool. The water could be very cold throughout the day and this little trick would make the water temperature more pleasant.

Looks good when up, took a while . Value for money, would suggest increase price and include a pump. Kids love it

We've had a couple of these and they have worked very well for us. Once in position and inflated at our holiday home it will usually last the whole summer holiday season (6-8 weeks) then after deflating and cleaning, drying it is usually good for a second summer.Ours is in the corner of a tiled patio and we place some sort of matting underneath it - for comfort of those lying in it, and also we found the underside far less smelly at the season end. ( We found an ideally-sized mat amongst those plastic grass products, but the 'grass' must be one of the shortest available)We keep the water clean using a couple of the chemicals suggested by the different websites on the subject, plus an (electrical) pump is essential - see the Sidewinder on Amazon for around £15Once full the inside dimension is about 6'6'' so a tall man can still lie flat out and be totally submerged. We find it excellent as a cool plunge pool on a roasting southern French summer's day. As long as it is used carefully and looked after your £16 pool should last a couple of seasons.....unfortunately a cat's claws will puncture it so buy a decent puncture repair kit also (the one supplied is of very limited use)

Still going strong - well used

Wish I had bought an electric pump though as it took nearly 3 hours in the baking sun to pump up with a single cyclinder plunger style bike pump.Worth the effort though. Feels stable.Great size, four grown adults sitting, one in each corner and a toddler running about, fit comfortably with room to spash. Excellent for one grown adult to lounge about and sunbathe in.Also might be worth getting a cover and a chlorine pod as it takes quite a while to empty via the small hole, and is massively too heavy to flip when full. The inflated rings deflate quickly when the bungs are removed. Also if you put too much pressure on the sides - say, by tring to flip it and folding it instead - then the armband style fill caps pop open and release some pressure very slowly and quietly.

At first, we were really pleased with this item; it's very large, looks good and the materials are pleasant to the touch. Exactly what you want for an uncharacteristically sunny British summer.... or so we thought. After about an hour, the top rib started to deflate, which after about 4 hours had gone right down and dumped out some of the water. So, we pumped it back up again and took extra special care to seat the valve mechanism properly, but down it went again. And again. I have since returned the item for a refund, as it appears that many others have had similar experiences. In summary, if you're not on a water meter and don't mind continually re-inflating and refilling the pool, it's probably fine - if you find that less than ideal, I'd not bother with it. Very disappointing, especially at a time when everywhere has sold out of alternatives.

Great value
