Toys and Games Reviews of Intex Swim Center Family Pool (Colors and Styles May Vary)
Customer Review: Nice pool
Summary: 4 Stars
We usually buy one a year. They either break or get full of mold by the end of the summer. These pools dont last more than one season but its worth it while we have it and its not a major investment. Big enough for quite a few kids and safe enough that its not too deep...I only wish that they would make a cover for it so that I dont have to refill it every time.Customer Review: Nice pool!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is probably the largest pool I would want to get w/o a pump. The only problem with it is if the air is not 100% sealed, it will leak. My daughters (7 & 5) love to play in this pool when I can't get them to the neighborhood pool and they just want to cool off.Customer Review: Gr8 Pool
Summary: 5 Stars
The size is ideal for little tikes to njoy themselves... gr8 buy im pleased...Customer Review: Great little pool for young kids
Summary: 4 Stars
My parents bought this pool for a big summer party they had, and a ton of kids used it (I'd estimate 20 kids, mostly under 7 years, in and out of it all day). Then I took it home and set up for my daughter's 5th birthday, which saw 8 kids jumping, swimming and spalshing in it. And we've used it daily since then (all summer). It did have a small pin-hole after the first use that probably happened in moving it to our house (in the back of the truck), but was easily patched with clear Liquid Nails. We haven't had any trouble with deflating, collapsing, leaking, etc. since then.
It is a pain to drain the water because the weight of the full pool keeps water from getting out of the small drain hole on the bottom (we've tried on the grass and on the driveway - even overnight the thing is still full). I have to let the air out of the top 2 rings to get the water out. But we bought a large bicyle-type pump (in the pool section of ToysRUs) which works ok - air compressor would be better.
It does get dirty - particularly with our hard water. So even with a cover and chlorine I have to dump the water every few days. It would be nice to have a filter, but then again - it's only a $30 pool. I give the kids a butterfly net and have them get the grass out when they are playing in the pool.
The kids absolutely love it (I have 3 obnoxious little monsters, 3, 5 & 7 years) and they give it a pretty strenuous workout every day. It's held up well and will hopefully still be useable for next year. On the REALLY hot days, I even get in with them, and I can see why they love it. They can really swim in it, rather than "wade" like they did in the little plastic one.
It won't compare to the easy-set type pools with filters etc., but it's a great kiddie-pool. I plan to have this pool or one like it for at least a few more years.
Customer Review: Great Pool!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and size of the pool. The price is quite reasonable, and I was not expecting such a great deal.
