Intex Recreation 58484E "Inflatable" Family Swim Center Pool 120"x72" Review

I've had this pool for two summers, and I just love it as a place to soak in the sun and cool off. I opened it up on my brick patio, filled it with air using a portable pump that I had from my indoor air mattress, smoothed out the bottom, and began filling with water. Last year I often only filled the pool to a depth of about 4 inches so that I could lie on the bottom without water getting in my ears. This year, I figured out that my Spring Float could be used to float in the pool! Close your eyes and you could be in a huge pool on vacation!!

The pool holds about 350 gallons at its fullest. (Note: dimensions given are to the outside of the pool and do not indicate its volume.) I have to dump the pool every week because it attracts mosquito larvae and other floating things! I use a kitchen strainer to remove leaves in between refillings. The pool has a convenient drain at one corner. However, I also figured out how to use my garden hose to easily drain some of the water to a nearby tree. That helps me feel that the water is not wasted when I have to dump it.To clean it, I just quickly rub a small towel on all of the bottom and bottom rings, and then hose it out upside down and refill.

This year, the pool has developed a slow leak in the bottom ring. I'm not surprised because I stored it hanging over some equipment in my garage and I was sure the cat would have clawed it during the winter! It may have developed the leak when I filled it one cool morning and then the day warmed up quickly. Heat may have expanded the air and caused a leak in a seam. I don't know, but I suggest you fill it at the hottest part of the day, just to be safe.

By the way, the people in the pool in the picture must be from some tribe of miniature people, because I feel much larger than that in the pool! I feel like I take up most of the length of the pool. I think two teens or average-sized adults like me could sit at opposite corners and stretch out and visit.
