INTEX 58484EP Swim Center Inflatable Family Pool: 277 Gallon Capacity – 120" x 72" x 22" – Blue

At 6 foot wide and 10 feet long and nearly almost 2 feet tall (depending on how much air you pumped in - see note to follow) - you better have room in your yard for this huge above ground pool; make sure you are in compliance with your local and or State/Providence laws; some have laws pertaining how big an above ground pool can be before one has to have a Safety Fence up! (KEEP THIS IN MIND!) This size is the maximum my area permits without a fence but requires a tarp when not in use (I have also obtained the Intex Matching Pool cover to cover this). Since colors do vary; I have shopped for them in stores - they can range from Seafoam green to Aquamarine - the one I got was Sky Blue in Color - was perfect; it made my garden POP out even more. NEVER LEAVE LITTLE CHILDREN UNATTENDED; IT IS CLEARLY MARKED ON THE POOL AND ALSO THE POOL COVER AS WELL - CHILDREN CAN DROWN!As far as the fun goes, it's a learning experience for the little ones to learn how to swim - at this point it is only half full at the moment, not even at the maximum line stage yet, but plenty of water to go around. Now if you use an electric pump to fill this up, do not over fill; WHY? Because over-filling it with air and the weight of water inside will actually damage the pool itself. If you have really little children, I would recommend that you fill this pool half the depth of water to start off with so they can learn and grow into it as you gradually add more water and teaching them lessons on learning to swim as well as floating; pool sudden also becomes "Educational" as well as a life saver. With plenty of room for the family to be in makes it all the more fun!PLUS IT'S NOT JUST FOR FAMILIES ONLY, SINGLES TO ADULTS CAN HAVE THIS POOL FOR THEMSELVES AS WELL; after a long hard week, it is big enough to put in a raft or floating lodge where you can rest and relax under the sun but ..... BE CAREFUL NOT TO FALL ASLEEP AND BECOME A FRIED LOBSTER!I also recommend the small 1 inch tablet chlorine floaters plus the 1 inch tablet floaters to keep your pool clean plus the PH test strips. Those tablets can go a long long ways! With the floaters, you would want one with a dial type in or twist type end on bottom as how much chlorine you need to be released. If you have soft water, you probably would not need to have the setting on so high, follow the test strip guide first until you have it all set up - on my end my water is semi-hard so one tablet can last up to 3 to 4 weeks before a change is needed. Whenever the pool is not in use, always use the pool cover / tarp and cover your pool. I do not recommend leaving this pool out where there is a chance of snow to ice but in Tropical Zones; you are okay.Yes, you can purchase a small filter machine for this pool if you want to but it is not necessary or required to; it would be far easier in my humble opinion to just let some air out as much as possible without getting water into the middle (there are three areas of this pool where air is to be inflated) as I use Intex Air Pump; then the top layer of pool letting as much air as you can without letting any water getting into the valve area; put some pressure into it and the water just runs all out, far faster than using the drain hole until you have no more water, then you can begin to release air in lower bottom valve as much as possible and normally by this time you can release quite a bit of air, and then flip the pool up side down to drain it out for a little bit. The next step would be moving it to a dry spot and re-inflate the pool, what is helpful here is some chairs to prop the pool up to dry completely - whether you are now going to put it away for storage or going to refill it with fresh water again; typically - as long as the PH test strips are showing fine, once a week or two, depending how much use it has if used all summer long - one would only have to find themselves having to only drain it once and refill it once even if the children swam in it almost every day.* To preserve the pool, please try to avoid usage of any types of oils - such as tanning oils; those that are cream rub in sunscreen are the best but your best option is to schedule a time limit of "pool time" usage with the children as gradually this erases off the "boredom" of summer! You can always add "Fun balls" or Fun Ballz" to volleyball to Pool side Basket ball to rafts to Dive Torpedoes (to name a few and giving you ideas) - all available here on Amazon - so there's never a dull moment. You just might find yourself stuck with them wanting to play pool volleyball all the time or basketball with 2,000 Fun Ballz - even the order of 500 Fun Ballz I have in that pool makes it look like I have only 25 Fun Ballz - this thing could handle 10,000 Fun Ballz (That would drive anyone nuts here, I would not recommend this!)++ Pool tools are really simple unlike the regular sized above or under ground pools - all you need is a telescopic pool scooper / leaf catcher - comes in handy and making pool clean up easy! I DO RECOMMEND THAT ONE TO INSTALL A POOL MAT - DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SIZE, BUT THIS IS TO KEEP GRASS TO LEAVES TO DIRT OUT OF THE POOL... A 5 gallon bucket is handy here - putting it on the side of pool makes it easier for people to come in and out without having all this grass to dirt inside of pool - NOTE: All are available on Amazon. You can put the pool on top of it in part, or slide it near it and with pool time is over, you can hose it off and let it dry.^^^ SPECIAL NOTICE I FEEL IS IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE VERY YOUNG: If you are a parent with a young child or children who are very young, they will have some problems trying to get in and out from the top inflatable area; my recommendation is, do not over or under inflate the top liner as this does keeps water inside the pool. Work with this but keeping the bottom and middle inflated but not over inflated; even though it may not be "full" but deep enough for them to play in and sufficient enough water for you to sit in and letting them run around and play, as they get used to this, you can add more water and let them learn how to used to the arm floats and learn to swim - there is so much fun.Educational: YESFun: NEVER ENDING OF THIS!Size: BIG - Rectangular - 6 feet wide by 10 feet longColor: I personally have a feeling colors may vary here just like the ones I had seen in Brick and Mortar Pool Stores - mine is in Sky Blue the Image shown here is close to what is called Sea-Foam Green - ALL THE COLORS ARE IN THAT RANGE OF BLUES OF THE OCEAN HUES - ALL HAVE WHITE TOPS TO KEEP THE POOL TOP FROM BEING "HOT"Landscaping: Really makes your landscape POP OUT!REST & RELAXATION: Absolutely - for an adult who has no access or time to drive to a pool, lake, beach, river, anywhere; even having your friends over to soak up would be a blast!Great to have your friends over on a hot summer dog days and schools out and no more hearing "There's nothing to do!"STRONGLY RECOMMENDED - HAVE BEEN PURCHASING INTEX POOLS FOR YEARS AND YOU CAN START WITH BEGINNERS UNTIL THEY GROW INTO IT! KEEP IN MIND - MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH YOU LOCAL LAWS OR STATE LAWS ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN; IF YOUR LAWS REQUIRES YOU TO HAVE FENCING AND A LOCKED GATE, THEN DO ADHERE - A CHILD'S LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN A POOL!

Good bang for your buck! I got this instead of those viral tanning pools. Just filled it with about 6 inches of water and it’s the same! I even got a $1 floaty at Walmart to lay on. I know it’s 10ft but i expected it to just look smaller and this feels big!Bonus tip: get a tarp bigger than the pool so you have a tanning spot on the side or just a spot to get in and out of.

I bought this for my niece and nephew to play in, and I even used it myself when they weren't around. You should know that it holds a LOT of water, which scared me at first. It is a LOT of water--it takes a good 30 minutes to fill with the hose. It says it holds almost 200 gallons. That seems like a massive amount of water, and it might not be right for you.The sides are nice and high, which could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your kids. It is definitely better for bigger kids who are steady on their feet; my 2.5-year-old niece delighted in bouncing against the walls over and over and splashing back into the fairly deep (approx 1-1.5 feet) water. You can fill it higher than is recommended; the sides are sturdy, but I found that filling it to the line was more than enough. However, the high sides were trickier for my 1-year-old nephew. This may seem obvious, but you really have to sit right there and watch them to make sure they're OK--I would not want to leave a kid, especially a small kid, unattended for even two seconds. You can't see over the sides well, so young toddlers disappear from view if you walk a distance away--take note, grandparents, parents, and aunties/uncles!That said, this was more than big enough for one adult and the two kids to get into, we had a blast with it, and it lasted two summers before it got a leak and started to sag by the end of each day. It needs to be filled with an electric pump FOR SURE. You need one with a big nozzle, like the 1" round one, the one you use to fill up Intex airbeds, inflatable canoes/rafts/kayaks, etc. The regular teeny nozzles that come with hand pumps do not work. The correct nozzle is at least an inch across.One cool thing--it has a smaller (medium sized, 1"-ish) sealed inlet for putting in air with the Intex nozzle, and then you can pop out a cap thingy underneath that, and the air rushes out of a larger 2" unsealed opening when you need to deflate. This means you don't need to sit there and squeeze the input valve to let the air out like you do with some air mattresses. It deflates quickly and without a pump to suck the air out, and you don't have to attend to it while it's deflating.The drain plug was a bit of a pest; it needs to be propped open if you plan to drain the pool (the force of the water pops it shut in milliseconds), but I always emptied the pool with a 5-gallon bucket so I could recycle the water to the garden because I never put bleach in it. You could also siphon it if you have gravity on your side.It was a lot of water, but I only used it one or two days each week, and I covered it with the cover that goes with it, which worked OK but not great. I washed and dried it, folded it, and took it into the garage during the winter. It did get grass and mildew stains on it, especially on the bottom, but it was fairly easy to clean with a plastic scrub brush and some soap and water, though after a few weeks in the soggy Portland grass, it didn't look pristine any more. Still, it was clean, and a good time was had by all. Well worth the money if you can get a summer or two out of it and then recycle it. The thought of this monster thing in the landfill for the next 40,000 years is absolutely horrifying.Final note: I only used it one or two days a week during sunny weeks from June to September. It might not last more than one summer--or maybe even one month--if you have exuberant or larger kids and/or you use it daily. Still, on a hot day, nothing beats it. But I'm not giving it five stars because I do feel that a two-and-a-half-year-old child shouldn't be able to destroy a kiddie pool placed on soft grass if she uses it only about a dozen times. I can't imagine treating it with more care than I did, and still--now I'm in the market for a new one.

Exactly what I needed. It was the defect size. I was looking for a pool not to big because we dint have a back yard. It's blow up as well.

Bought this march of 2025 and 2 of the 3 tiers have deflated—it is only May 2025. The sun is barely out yet and it’s still spring. This is crazy. Called customer service and they refused to send me a replacement or help in anyway because there is no warranty on this product. I figured this would at least last me through one summer. And it’s barely lasted 1 month without any problems. Also purchase the cover for this model and it slipped off the sides and the whole cover ends up in the pool even with cinching it down well.
