This summer, my wife finally convinced me to buy a small above ground pool for my youngest daughter. (Ok, the truth is tired of waiting on me and went out and bought one) I must admit that I hesitated to buy one, especially because I was too lazy, was on the ground floor.
I must say that it was easier and faster than I thought it would be and my daughter who is 9, was there every day now for 2 weeks. And 'at least very happy and has her friends over every day. Usgenre in which we wanted to see his concern during the summer holidays, why not going anywhere this summer. It was to my surprise, my eldest daughter, who is 15 and is goofing around with their friends, all seem to enjoy on hot days. The older girls usually do not try swimming in the vicinity of floating chairs, sit down and talk. Fun for them, I think, and it is cooling and a large sunbathing area.
I bought the 36 "X 12 'set easy to INTEX above groundSwimming pool. It does not sound very big, but you'd be surprised. I have 28 inches of water in it and can do everything that can float a large swimming pool. 4 children adapt very easily and I played about six young people see him sitting like a whirlpool.
The most important part of the installation of leveling the ground. This should be as perfect as possible, when in the vicinity. Do not place on the sand or soft earth has been around on the grass or hardpan. The reason for no tilt, because the sides are so soft that couldroll over it with the water pressure on a sloping side. The installation instructions say an area of about 12 feet above do. I found that you need 14 meters, because the bulge site.
Intex pool to fill that lasted 6 hours with the garden hose. The pump comes with the installation took about 5 minutes. The chemicals, especially chlorine and shockit took 5 minutes that could not swim in it until the next day. You must purchase a test kit for pH and chlorine content of waterto keep it clean throughout the summer. The kit will cost me only $ 6. I found the walls to be stronger than initially thought. The top ring inflated in minutes full of an air pump. I have a towel in the only place where I missed a twig or other sharp objects in the grass.
It is a refuge that I found you need to buy a small network to make it clean every day. Small pieces of grass and leaves seem to be there on the water. Yesterday my daughter came running inthe house and said it would float a small animal. It 'was a gray squirrel, I think it was looking for a glass of water because it was so dry here. I designed the network he runs.
I would be Intex above ground pool for those who have children and should be recommended in warm weather fun. If you think that they are not deep enough to have fun is wrong. I have friends who are in the pools above ground, and said they never had another pool deeper than fourFeet. They considered a waste of money because most people just play with the water and dive. Next to the beauty of this sweet-sided pools, at the end of summer I can only download and keep for the winter.
Next year I will goof on the model of 18 feet, which is 4 feet deep to buy, so that older children may be more into it. Price of these pools is very low, as for me about $ 500 more for those affected. I paid $ 84 for mine and includingPump. You can get framed intex pools in larger sizes, but it's too much work for me.
