We were looking for a pool, which does not take up too much space in our rather small garden, so you still ect badminton, football. can play. So I discovered on Amazon this family pool. We are excited for the hot days in the summer the perfect cooling. Even with 2 adults and 1 child has plenty of space, but it would fit in more. One can by the low water level of course no swimming pool expect, but for completely fooled it was good enough, even for adults. The rim is wide and soft and veeeery comfortable for your head. When lying area, as described here somewhere, I would not use it, I do not know how long the seams withstand that. Nevertheless: The pool is very stable and keeps the shape above ground surprisingly well (clearly one has to go and re-pumping again, logical), expands lt by filling with water around 1000 but still something out, so that it has a floor space of approx. . 3x2m needs. What you should consider when purchasing the groundsheet necessarily! The addition of Kids Care biocide water holds less than 2 weeks, even at the high temperatures that prevail currently (34 ° C). Provided one drags no dirt with clean or polluted otherwise the water, the water fishing repeatedly to fly and hair from (a big aquarium Nets doing here good service - ask then for the purpose of the biocide no longer use for the aquarium!) And shower thoroughly beforehand, as well as the swimming pool common. Emptying it can be easy with a garden hose (2 better, then it's faster), spraying, refill - done! Really a good alternative to these above ground pools, 2 adults. + 1 child fit well in, 1 adult. Alone has loads of space. For covering, we use a white (!!) tarpaulin that can be fixed with tent pegs-on the ground. Works fine! The plan offered for covering paddling pool you can forget namely because the pool experience, expand and no longer fit the plan. Therefore, we use a Gewebeabdeckplane which must necessarily be white but. With the usual dark plan, the material heats up too much, so that it can be deformed and leaking of the pool. This white cloth sheets you get very difficult in the trade, we have our Amazon (4x5m!)
July 2014: We have the pool now the second season in use, it has survived even a strong hailstorm. Thus the matter is actually quite robust. I usually pump after morning and evening a little air, there is always lost a little air through the differences in temperature day / night. But a swimming pool with filter system and pump also makes work - and you can swim in the smaller ground pools do not. ;-)
Conclusion: We will buy that pool again, if it is eventually broken. He is quickly erected and dismantled just as quickly in bad weather and stowed so that in rainy or cool days - just a normal summer in Germany, because the number of days we have proper swimming weather? ;-) - Not running continuously a pump for an unused wading pool and must control water so that it does not tilt. Besides the fact that this blue ground pools are not just a beautiful garden decorations and one in smaller gardens while playing soccer about annoyed when as an unused swimming pool stands in the way. ;-) And at under 30 you can not complain, comparable steel frame pools cost in the same size tripled, Filter Pump and not counting ...
