Some of the best money ever spent

We have had one of these pools for four summers now. It is a major attraction during the warm weather and popular from babies up to teenagers and a few adults have been tempted in as well. The soft, inflatable edge makes it incredibly safe and this summer my son and two of his friends spent a day running across the garden and launching themselves over the side and into the water! They couldn't have done this with a rigid sided pool. Once the kids are in bed, parents can get a look in, wallowing in a couple of large swim-rings with a G&T in their hand!
You need a surface that's as level as you can manage because too much slope causes the water to push against the lower side and the weight could cause the pool to collapse. We have a very slight incline but the pool can cope with this. We rake the ground smooth before spreading out the pool and use a thick ground sheet underneath. We walk over this in bare feet to feel for any missed stones etc. My neighbour has a similar pool and has created a permanent surface, dug into the ground, levelled out, covered in a thick layer of fine sand and with a groundsheet over the whole area and pegged down neatly round the edges. It looks great but we seem to manage fine with our seasonal arrangement. The pool is made of strong materials and in fact we've never had a puncture or hole. You spread out the pool in situ and we invested in an electric pump to inflate the top ring which is invaluable and gets used for lots of other things too! Once the water just covers the bottom of the pool, we pull out the bottom from the edges to remove any creases. Inevitably we are left with one or two small ones...almost impossible not to, but this is the stage to get it as smooth as you can. If you leave it any longer, the weight of water prevents you from being able to move it at all. It takes a few hours for the pool to fill up. Suggestions for the frequency with which you should change the filter are very varied but we find it needs changing about once a week, possibly a little less if the pool's not being used much and a bit more often when in constant use. The price of these varies enormously too, and I shop around on the net each season to find the best deal. Be careful to order the right ones...there are several sizes! We put two capfuls of chlorine in each night so it is not so strong the next day and we remove the cover daily, whether it will be used or not, to enable the sun to burn off any excess chlorine. Trial and error has found the right balance for us. Too little and it goes green, too much and it's unpleasant. This summer the water has been perfect all season. We bought a device that attaches to the hose-pipe which sucks debris off the bottom and a wonderful skimmer on a pole which easily removes debris that's floating...leaves, little insects etc. Between these two, we keep the pool crystal clear. A little time spent on maintenance reaps huge rewards. It's time consuming having to empty and refill the whole thing as well as wasteful of water so best avoided if possible. We use a solar cover which floats on the surface of the water and keeps built up heat in overnight. It's less cumbersome than the cover that goes over the whole pool and keeps out debris overnight. We put it on during the day for a while if it's windy when leaves get blown in. We used to turn the pump off at night but have found it best not to so now we leave it running the whole time the pool is up, ie all summer.
This has been a long review but I'd have liked to have read something like it before we started and it may have saved us some tribulations. The pool is a fantastic and affordable way of keeping masses of people very entertained all summer and lovely to have it to look forward to after a long, hot day at work or wherever.
