Found the pool on Catch for $45 with free delivery if you have a OnePass subscription. Free delivery is not available on this item for OnePass members, as this is sold and delivered by a marketplace seller (Target).
All other places seems to be around $150. Mine got shipped today so will report back if its not as advertised.
3m wide. Think its like 65cm deep
oos online.
oos most stores.
I've had this pool before and it was terrible because my backyard was on a slight slope. Might be ok if completely flat ground but the fact that its the floatie on top that balances it makes it not stable for me. I'd rather the other bestway pools with the metal frame.
Totally disagree..
Had one of these up for 2 years and it was awesome.
Yep, I levelled the ground and covered it with free scrap carpet. Then blew up the ring, connected the basic hoses added water.
Get a cover, made it super easy to keep crystal clear.
Made a vac out of PVC, an old home vac head and a garden hose. Just used it as a syphon. 2 mins before getting in. Perfect.
Used floaty chlorine tablets from Clarke Rubber (they have copper in them, never went green in 2 years).
Chuck half a cup of $2 Coles bleach in at night after kids have flogged it.
Put chux cloths over the pump inlets. After an hour pull em out and you will see the filthy human scum oils in them. Rinse / return.
Lastly, I hooked mine up to an old Solahart collector, and connected it to the pump. Had to cover the panel once (got to 50C).
Got it consistent at 30C. Little one learnt to swim and snorkel in it. Now competently snorkels with me offshore at age 4. No floaties…just swims.
Then in the arvo, unleash the heater panel and get it to around 42C. Chuck in a bath spa mat (it's basically a hairdryer pump with
a hose that creates bubbles in the mat) .
Relax back on the inflated ring in your make shift spa. Look up and watch Elon's Starlinks flying over.
It's still in perfect nick and I'm giving it away as we upgraded to a 5m x 2m pool. The cover died/ is rubbish though. Get one cheap from Catch. Absolutely crucial for making it super easy to keep clean / algae free.
I do a similar process for keeping mine clean. Chlorine dispenser and running the filter 3 hours each night. Covered when not in use, always crystal clear. Is the bleach bit worthwhile for me if the pool is clear?
Yeah. Any kind of slope on the ground, this becomes very unstable
Anything with water will be unstable if the ground isn't level.
doesn't look 3m deep, maybe setup a no diving sign for the kids
