Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This pool is a great buy for the price, but you should understand what you are getting. 1) The sides of the pool rise up as you fill the pool, therefore if you start the pool on an area with a slant you will have problems when the pool fills to the top--one side will have extra material because of the water level. The flatter the surface the better. You can make this work on ground that is somewhat uneven, but it take a lot of work. 2) You MUST make sure that bottom of the pool is pulled out to make a true circle. It is easy to be lazy with this because when there is no water in the pool it can look "good enough," but if you have an oval there is a chance that the water will push out and start to flow out once it is filled. 3) If you plan to put this away year after year get a ground cloth. If the pool is on grass the bottom is IMPOSSIBLE to clean. At the price, I would recommend throwing it out at the end of the season. 4) The pump is very basic. You will need to add chemicals to keep it clean. Get a net to clean the big stuff out. For the $60-100 price tag you can't really go wrong if what you are looking for is some simple fun and a chance to cool off.
