It meant an extra five minutes of skimming the pool by hand every day, something I honestly didn't mind. Our experience is that after filling it up, two weeks passed and we didn't cover it, the water was totally green! We tried adding dirt to the lower section of the yard, but still unable to get it level. Even my five year old refused to go in and he loves the water.
It is not strong enough to circulate the water properly. I have never owned a pool before, and if you haven't I strongly recommend going to an actual pool store and having someone show you exactly what chemicals you need and how to maintain it. The sides are quite durable but the thin vinyl on the bottom sucks. I just wanted people to know that this could happen to you too. I went to my local Walmart and bought some liquid chlorine. It was bulging so bad the wall would let go and it was Niagra Falls.
I put it up for the first time this spring and the top ring had a tiny pin hole in it. This pool was very difficult to set-up. She loves the water and we can't keep her out of the pool now.
I can't find any holes but obviously they are there somewhere. Had it right the first time, but the house well has a special filter on it and I didn't think to check it before filling pool.
The most important step is to start smoothing it out when the water gets a few inches high and then continue to do so until there's enough water that you can't move it anymore. I think this could happen to anyone's pool at some point even if you don't leave it out all winter. We ended up having to inflate the ring a couple times a day.
Each time we went on weekend trips it became a problem. Thank you Intex for the greatest pool ever. It looked like Willy Wonka's River..
It looked like a big hassle to me, fortunately I found a much easier way to do it.
I would definitely recommend this pool, but be prepared to work hard to get the ground level first. We sit ours on a blue tarp to protect it from rocks. We are in it everyday and it's such a great way to spend time with the family. These pools are not durable at all.
