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

This pool is super easy to set up - just a couple of minutes to blow up with an electric pump, and it takes us about an hour to fill up as our water pressure is not great. We had a larger inflatable pool last year (10ft), but after a few weeks we could not be bothered with the filter and it contained so much water it was a real chore to empty it. This pool is a perfect size for a couple of adults to sit in/kids to splash about in, and you can easily drain the water out, let the air out and pack it away until the next warm weekend. It feels really sturdy when up, holds its shape nicely, and you can comfortably sit against the walls. I love the way the outer sides are clear so when the sun shines through it all you see is the cool lime green interior of the pool. It is great value and great fun and I would really recommend it!

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.

Took nearly an hour to inflate - with an electric pump! Great size, very firm structure. Took another hour to fill with water. Very happy with this.

Nice product, easy to inflate with an electric pump. We use it as a ball pool

Great value

This is a brilliant pool, with a much better than expected quality of material used. I need to use an air pump to blow this up as it is as huge as advertised. Myself, my fiancée and my son fit in this with comfort and there is still space for another adult and child if needed.I would advise that you fill this with warm water as with it being so big it would be impossible to heat up even with this heat we've been having recently. I bought a mixer tap connector for the hose to fill this with the warm water. The only bad point I have is that my gas bill is through the roof with the amount of water this swimming pool takes! :)

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.

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)
