Intex Small Family Frame Pool 2.6m x 1.6m x 0.65m #28271, Blue

Really happy. Its a great size without completely taking over a normal sized garden. Plenty big enough for my 9 and 5 year old boys to have underwater races. And big enough for general tomfoolery for probably 5 or 6 kids. Love it. And easy to build.

This is one mighty impressive 'paddling pool'! In fact, it's not paddling pool, but instead quite an awesome pool for anyone under 1.5m heigh to have in their garden. We ordered it on Wednesday, it arrived on Friday, It's Saturday today and it's up despite the wind. The kids (aged 5, 4, 2) insisted we put it up and that the sun is hot enough. It took us about half an hour to put up, and this could take less if we didn't have the 3 small helpers. Instructions suggest using a ground sheet (which is not included with the pool), so you might want to consider getting one. Instructions also suggest quite a lot of space all around the pool (which we just haven't got, so ours stands 1m away from the wall on one side and 1 m away from the fence on the other). It also says it shouldn't be installed on a decking, but we also ignored that bit in the hope we don't regret it later on when the whole decking collapses! Size-wise, this is the size of an average new-build bathroom if not larger! So think twice before you go for the 2x3m one! We've only filled it about 1/4 so far and this took over an hour on main pressure system! A LOT of water will go into this, so definitely get yourself a cover too. I am yet to investigate pumps and potentially heaters, but seeing the size of it and how nice it feels to just sit next to it on a lounger I can see myself making use of it while the kids are at school, and so a heater could be useful! The pool seems sturdy, the material thick and robust, the poles fairly light but pretty tough. The 4 seats (one on each corner as you can see on the photo) are a nice touch. I don't see myself sitting on it, but kids have already made use of them as cup stands while they played pouring water from one to the other. They make nice drinks holders too. (My) Children need lifting in and out of the pool as the edge is too high for them to just leap over. To me this is a positive as I can keep track of who is in and who is out of the water. I can't comment on durability, ease of taking it apart for storage etc, BUT with past experience in mind (and many inflatable pools of various sizes, quality and cost) if this lasts us from now until mid September, and is then never used again, it's been a good investment.

This is one of the best pools we have had for £69 it was an absolute bargain.🥳 My eldest is 17 and it's taken us 17 years and a whole lot of money to find this product.🙄 I have emptied it numerous times the frame has not weakened. 💥 The children are in and out standing on the corners I'm fretting as I don't want it breaking, but it's with stood it.💥 Kids push themselves off the sides with there feet again I'm fretting you'll break it, but no the product withstands the robustness test it's put under by the children much to my dismay ha ha 💥 If this only withstood the 5 months of warmer weather this year that's only £14 per month, beats any expensive day out.💥🥳🥂 I do reccomend buying a cover then you won't have to clean it out as much as I do.🙈 Obviously there is an option of buying a filter.👌 I am just on looking for some kind of cleaning solution to drop In the water to keep it clean and invest in a Cover.🤪😁 Loving this product so easy to assemble did it alone girl power💪 Very robust💪 Very affordable price for such a quality product I'm all about fair price 👍 you don't need to spend on a more expensive product you have got quality here 😀

This is a fantastic pool for the money. The construction is solid and the liner is really thick. We've previously bought the usual round paddling pools, which last a month or so and then split but this....this is a different league altogether. It's a lot bigger than you might think - we got a tape measure and marked it out in the garden and it was an awful lot bigger than we imagined. Our 6 and 8 year olds absolutely loved it and were able to actually swim from one end to the other (or go round in a circuit). You could easily get 4 kids in here with plenty of room for splashing around. It's definitely worth getting the filter and chlorine tablets to go in it. We filled the pool from the indoors tap and it only needed a little chlorine every now and then to keep the water crystal clear and fresh. We had ours filled for a good couple of weeks and had no algae, bloom or bug problems. We did have a cover which certainly helped keep a load of stuff out of the pool but it doesn't help keep the heat in...no matter what they say! It doesn't take long to put up...maybe 30 mins. It does however take a good few hours to fill with water though. We used the kitchen tap and put warm water in (which the kids loved) - it was warm for a couple of days but then needed thin, shorty wetsuits to keep them happy for any length of time in the water. We bought a trampoline at the same time (a desperate effort to keep them self entertained over the summer hols) and this was used every day...the trampoline got ignored somewhat!

We've so far had this pool a week. A bit early to review it but I wanted to warn others of the true cost! On the face of it, this seems a reasonably priced chance at having a larger more permanent paddling pool, however once you add in the cost of a filter pump (that works well), filters, chlorine tablets, dip sticks (to check chlorine levels) and a tablet dispenser, as well as ideally foam matting to set it up on, you are really looking closer to £200! I thought I had saved money (about £20) when I opted for the smaller sized dram pool, but after spending all the rest of the money I wonder if we might as well have got a bigger one. However do your price checking, maybe we are just paying huge prices as it's lockdown?? Do also take into account the initial filling of the pool with water and the fact that a large volume of water takes a lot longer to warm up compared to having a shallower paddling pool. But hey, cold water dips are good for your mental health and kids don't seem to care so much! You can get a pool heater to attach to your filter pump but at this stage (and given the price!) I think we'll be able manage without one. We set up the pool on our patio on a ground sheet with jigsaw foam pieces on top (after a bad experience with a bestway fast set pool last year that got holes in after being put on lawn). It was a good decision and the pool itself feels sturdy with a good thick lining and also comfortable under foot. The instructions for set up were very simple, with the poles being labelled and the outrigger dimensions given in the product description being a good safe estimate. In terms of size it works well for an adult to swim stationary at least by length, though it's not quite deep enough for front crawl arm movement. By stationary I mean using a swimming bungee to hold you still whilst you hopefully manage to swim. We are experimenting with this, given that all pools are shut right now and we have an avid swimmer in the family, and so far it's pretty good. If you have a big enough garden, ideally you'd want to set it up away from any trees or shrubs which give off a lot of leaves, blossom, pollen/seeds but we don't and so far this is not too big a problem as long as you keep it covered when not using and have a net to hand to skim off stuff and insects as it lands. And of course use the filter whenever anyone isn't in the pool. So far I would definitely recommend this as a quality product but with the reservation of the cost and maintenance needed to keep it in use. I do hope this is helpful for any prospective buyers. It's a great pool but it's good to go into it with yours eyes open to the full cost of your initial outlay. I probably would still have bought it but perhaps gone for the slightly larger model, though fitting it somewhere would have been a lot harder. Hopefully I'll remember to review at the end of the year when we've used it we to see how it faired but I'm feeling pretty confident about the quality of the materials.

Great pool, good depth and very sturdy once filled. you do need a level surface to put this on. takes about 20min to put up & 3-5Hr to fill, only negative is when it comes to take it down you'll need a hose and plenty of time before the level drops enough to dismantle.

It’s been up for a second day with no issues up till now very great but need that surface for sure as mine is a little bit slightly on one side

Excellent

Piscina davvero ottima per il prezzo. Il montaggio è stato semplice e la struttura risulta stabile una volta riempita. Le dimensioni sono perfette per rinfrescarsi e divertirsi in famiglia senza occupare troppo spazio in giardino. Il telo sembra resistente e la capacità di circa 2300 litri è più che sufficiente per rilassarsi nelle giornate calde. Dopo il riempimento la piscina ha mantenuto bene la forma e non ho riscontrato problemi. Abbinata a una buona pompa filtrante, l’acqua rimane limpida e piacevole. Molto soddisfatto dell’acquisto, la ricomprerei senza dubbi. Consigliata a chi cerca una piscina fuori terra pratica, robusta e con un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. 🏊☀️👍

Stadig pool. Funkar att montera f en person. Nöjd med köpet.

So far so good! Got this built within a few hours by myself (35 year old female). Because it’s a million degrees in Texas, I decided to put it together in bite-sized chunks. Every time I let the dogs outside, I’d build another wall or two. Before I knew, it was ready for water! It’s filling as we speak, which may actually take a few hours because this medium-sized pool is actually quite large! It can easily fit several large adults comfortably. Looks and feels really durable, so we’ll see how it holds up. As for the ease of installation, I’d probably recommend it being a two person job, but definitely doable for one adult - just make sure to follow the instructions carefully, know where each pole goes, and take note of where the holes are on each because it really does matter. I know it may seem counterproductive to do the top first, as the instructions are stated, but it actually does make this build a lot easier. I’d say it’s absolutely worth the money so far, but we’ll see after a month or so of use! Note: I’m not using the filter parts because I don’t care to deal with it or purchase a pump, so I can’t speak to that. Also, I got this for myself and my fiance to cool off over the summer and I would absolutely call this an adult pool. Tips: • DO follow directions - don’t wing it, I guarantee you’ll likely have to take things apart and redo them. • DO leave it out for at least 24 hours as stated in the directions - it’s a surprisingly important first step. • Once fully built, make sure the side legs are completely out and pressed against the T-shaped holders at the bottom of the pool. This will ensure its stability. • For this particular size, I would NOT recommend children being left unattended, as it’s quite large and deep. I wouldn’t recommend for dogs either because it’s simply too large, unless you have a pony for a dog or don’t mind picking them up and taking them out - PLEASE don’t leave dogs/animals or children unattended with this pool. If you need that, this isn’t the pool for you. • If you don’t use the filter system, still make sure to put the stoppers in the filter holes so the water doesn’t drain out. (This can be an easy step to miss if you aren’t careful) • I recommend a small chlorine floater that uses the small tablets. Super easy and cheap for maintenance. • I also recommend a cover whether you do or don’t use the filter system. This will keep it much cleaner and help ensure that small wildlife doesn’t get in that can’t get out. • If you don’t want to spring for a net for cleaning, just pull debris out by hand or use a colander or kitchen sieve. Simple and effective!

Spettacolare, resistente e molto spaziosa
