Sable Inflatable Pool, Swimming Family Size Kiddie Blow Up Pool, 103 x 63 x 18 in, Easy Set Up, for Ages 3+

My grandkids love this pool; they are ages 3 - 10. I thought it would be too babyish for the older girls but they spend hours in there when they visit.The pool is very sturdy. It feels thicker than other wading pools I have owned. It is easy to empty with its plug on the bottom.I fill mine with soft water (mostly cold but some hot to take the chill out) running a hose from the garage to the pool. That way, there is no waiting for the water to warm up and the water stays nice longer.I love the colors of it, as well.

I did a lot of research on pools trying to figure out which one to get. I selected this one because people said it was sturdy. It is sturdy, but I should have just bought the little plastic pool of my youth. After using this for a few months this summer this is why I wish I wouldn’t have bought it.1) Inflation— It came quickly and was in good order. I unpacked it and knew I had to have my own pump to fill it. I had two different air mattress pumps, but neither size fit the pool! Make sure to check the size on the pool as it is not a standard air mattress size. Since you have to use a pump, I had decided to fit the pump that was too small into the hole and tape all around. This method worked okay, and took about 10 minutes to blow up the pool. But, still this pool needs a standard size air mattress opening or a pump included.2) Storage— I had imagined deflating the pool and storing it in the garage between uses. But, it was such a headache to blow up, that I just left it inflated the whole summer and moved it around the yard. I think this is what most people do since storing one of these in a garage would take some serious work to make sure it didn’t get any bacteria/mold/mildew. This pool needs to come with a manual about proper storage procedures.3) Preventing Bacteria—Aww! The mildew! This is the thing that drove me crazy about this pool. I would fill the pool on Saturday morning and let all the water out on Sunday. After letting the water out I would bleach and scrub the bottom, which was way too much work. Then I would rinse the pool and let it dry in the sun and store it upside down under an awning. Then the next weekend, I would repeat the process. After the first use there were little pink spots all over the bottom of the pool—the sign of the infamous pink slime/pink algae bacteria. I got the bacteria off with the bleach, but was left with the pink stain. This didn’t go away and got worse as time went on and more pink stains appeared. To combat this bacteria, you really need a filter and chemicals. Of course then you are essentially signing up for an above-ground pool that sits in one location and requires a lot of maintenance. I bought this pool because I didn’t want all that. But, for this size of pool, you really do need it. So it would be good if this one had a place for a filter to attach. In addition, there needs to be a manual about how to take care of this pool. I had imagined having the neighbors come by for a swim, but wouldn’t risk it.4) Size— It is both too big and too small at the same time. The size is actually only good for 1-2 kids at a time, any more than that and you get injuries. Sure if the kids were just sitting still you could have 4. But, I don’t know of any kids that sit still. So you need a bigger pool if you have more than 2 kids, which means you definitely need to get one with a filter and chemicals. It is also too big. It takes about an hour to fill and another 4-5 hours to warm up on a 90-degree day. Dumping the water easily causes a flood, so you have to be strategic about where to set it up.5) Durability— I will definitely have to throw it out at the end of the summer due to all of the staining. Even if there was not staining, storing this would be a pain. This seems like such a waste of money to buy every year.So the verdict is that next year I will just get the small hard plastic pool of my youth. It is easy to store, doesn’t get mildew, easy to fill, no inflation required, no chemicals, lasts for more than one season, and is portable. If you are yearning for something this size, then I recommend getting something with a filter and a manual on how to care for the pool.

I ordered this more expensive pool after the last 3 cheap pools we had all leaked air. I was pleased when this arrived because it felt thick and more durable than the cheap ones. It was simple enough to put up - fill with air and then fill with water. Unfortunately, the very next day, this pool had also lost an excessive amount of air and the pool was sagging. I wrote the company and they sent me a new one, so I was very pleased with their customer service. I haven't had the chance to get the new pool out yet to see if it is better, so I will follow up once it warms up to get it out.***The new pool is much better. It holds air WAY better than the first one, but does need a little air added after a few days.

This was for my 5yrs son who wanted to have a lil pool in backyard. It’s pretty big so he can jump around & swim around.If you put too much water to the top one side of pool will tilt lil bit but other than that it’s great pool for summer. So far so good.

Doesnt include pump. As others have said, depending on your luck, these come with super small to small holes in them and based on the reviews, it seems like they all lose pressure to some extent with time. Mine wasnt that bad, I had to inflate it every other day. Biggest issue is mold, builds up pretty fast and cleaning them is not easy, it might be the material used but the mold build up speed is crazy fast. You literally have to clean this and scrub the surfaces twice a week minimum.

This is a nice pool, but a expensive. You’ll definitely need a electric pull to fill it with air. It’s a good size pool for two adults and a toddler. I’m pleased with the pool, but I’m not sure if it’s worth paying double compared to other brands. I’d recommend the pool, but also say to do some comparison shopping.

Love for my kids but every day since day 1 it leaks a lot of air! Have to refill and it's brand new. Good quality material, there's no puncture hole. Would love if the company would send a different one to replace. It's for swimming therapy for my special needs boys

This pool is not big enough for two adults and two children as advertised. I blew it up and filled it only to have the top ring deflate. The hole was in the seam. And it did not arrive within 2 days as advertised either. Very disappointed.
