Great Little Pool
This is year 2 of the pool and its holding up well.First off, we got this for a really good price last Summer. We went for just the pool itself as a couple of years before we got one of the circular ones with the inflatable top and that came with a basic filter but this was pretty poor. This time around, a lot of chlorine, manual skimming and occasional use of the pond vac to clean the floor and sides and do a bit of filtering! We've had to empty and refill once so far as it did sit neglected for a couple of weeks, so that was our fault.Pool is a good size for kids. I can sort of swim in it but do bang my knees on the bottom! Seems pretty sturdy and we have now assembled, taken apart, and re-assembled with no issues. We did find a small hole in the lining but it was quite crudely bundled up and shoved in a shed, so I'm not surprised. However, it's near the top and the supplied repair kit has so far done its job.Have noticed a bit of rust on the frame poles. This seems to be where they slot in to each other so I think the protective paint has been scraped off when inserting them and this is where a bit of rust has set in. Doesn't look too bad but only time will tell. I guess you could just treat the effected bits with Hammerite or something but I imagine the liner will go before the frame.Draining is a bit of a pain as the drain hole is not right at the base of the pool so you have a couple of inches of water left in the bottom. Some of this can be enticed down the drain by lifting the pool end up and generating some waves, but will certainly not get rid of all. For that you'll need to bucket out, or, use a pond vac if you have one. It's surprising how heavy even an inch of water is so you can't really take this apart properly until fully empty.For the price we paid, we were happy for it to last one long Summer. To get another is a bonus and to be fair, now we've done it, there's no reason to think it won't do next year at least either. The only thing I would say is drain it, clean it and store it before the weather turns. We didn't and it ended up sitting out in the garden for several weeks in the terrible Autumn weather. This resulted in a quite filthy liner and it took a lot of cleaning.Only downside for me is that I now want a bigger one. With a sand filter. And robo cleaner. And skimmer............

Brilliant little metal framed pool
Fantastic and very sturdy pool, I would highly recommend this pool for anyone who is a bit restricted for space and it's probably the smallest metal frame pool avaliable. The sides are sturdy and thick so no leaks so far. Looks great in our garden

A really good buy if you have the space and construct with patience and thoughtfulness
This has been a really good buy. Recommended if you have kids in the 8-15 age range. Obviously the weather in the UK during summer 2018 has increased the attraction of this unit. Altho the construction is recommended for 2 people, the frame can be put together by one person, no worries. The tubes that take the weight vertically are not very strong so you need to be careful not to knock with anything sharp when full and to ensure the 4 corner poles are exactly vertical on a flat smooth surface so that one can adjust with a soft mallet. Obviously, with 4500 litres capacity, the pool is very heavy indeed when filled. I used a slabbed concrete base that had previously had a greeenhouse on it, checked for levelling and spread out a thick tarpaulin wider than the pool on all sides by approx. half a metre. With a 3m x 2m pool you therefore need a flat surface of around 4m x 3m, away from overhanging trees and bushes, preferably raised above the surrounding surface so that splash water drains away. The tarpaulin underneath is really important to help prevent tiny stones from puncturing the base with all that aforementioned weight when filled. Important also to invest in a chemical kit for chlorine, PH, etc. etc., a good filter - the Intex one is fine - you need an extra 2m for the hoses to stretch out and an outside electricity supply - and a pool net skimmer to collect insects and leaves. I have used the same water for the month the unit has been in use and our water is sparkling clear. A cover is a good idea also altho I have yet to use it to cover the pool. I have two boys - 9 and 13 - and different friends who come round to enjoy - be ready with a splash zone!. They have had immense safe fun with no problems so far. I also take dips myself when the boys are out of the way and have appreciated. Yes, the drain - make sure it is pointed out from your house, not towards it! - is a little higher than the base, which to me is very sensible even if some baling work will be required as the water drops to that level when emptying. All in all, this has already been a good buy for the price and has been a really worthwhile investment in terms of fun.
