Love the pool. We bought it to use primarily for my granddaughter which she loves. Its exactly what we wanted and are enjoying it very much. My only issue is it's hard to get out all the wrinkles on the bottom of the pool. We did the best we could and it seems to be a small issue. That's the only reason I did not give the pool 5 stars.They are easy to set up, perfect for my Grandkids to get it & cool off, easy to take care of .I was looking for an inexpensive pool for the kids and myself to use. I saw other reviews and decided to take a chance with it. My husband and I set it up in about 10 minutes. Took about 2 hours for it to fill. I should have never bought it. After a day, the top ring kept deflating. We pumped it back up and after about an hour it was deflated again. We never found the leak. I believe it is on the seam of the top ring, which you could never fix. It wouldn't be worth the effort to return it because of the shipping charges due to the weight of the pool. Its going in the trash.I will never by another intex product.The sides did not rise properly and water was not kept inside. No pump included; luckily (not unluckily) we had a old pump. We will be returning thisAbsolutely love my pool!!!!This turned out to be a great purchase. My grand-kids love it and get in everyday. perfect size for all 4 of them.It's an awesome pool. Very durable and lots of fun for the kids. But this model 56420/E does not include a pump. The 56421/E does. So keep a look out for that while browsing. The pool not having a pump included is the only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating.The pool is suppose to be 30" tall and it's only 26".Brilliant as always ! Having had about 5-6 in the past 6 years, ranging from the 8', 10' and then the 12' the past 3 years; I couldn't recommend them enough. The preparation is key though and then keeping the water clean and chlorinated correctly. Being strict from day one with the kids, has meant they've never weed in the water and carelessly taken in grass etc. Plus I then thoroughly enjoy netting out the insects, hair and what ever else that may have found its way in any way; once the kids have finally come out ! It's very therapeutic ! Then always put the cover on when not in use. If you look after it like this then you'll never get green water and a pool full of god knows what...yuck ! So once filled and then maintained well, this will keep going for months and months...believe it or not ! The only down for me is at the end of the season, when I've finally convinced the kids that it REALLY is too cold to use...i.e. as late as October; because the putting away and storing of it isn't that easy. So because I've never been successful at doing it because of laziness if I'm honest, the pool ends up looking very grotty. Hence why I've bought a new one every year because it's SO lovely starting from new every time. But it's SUCH a waste because I'm sure they could keep going for years and years if looked after.This will be the best £45+ you will have ever spent on the kids and your self. Hours, days, weeks and months of fun for the kids, friends and parents !We normally buy one of these every couple of years. That's how long they last us. This is the biggest we have purchased yet. Its great, just what we expected.A couple of points though. The measurements in the ad state 12 foot by 30". Don't imagine this means you can get 30" of water in the pool. The 30" measurement is to the top of the ring. Even then due to the way the pool sides bow out as it fills you cannot get as much water in as you think. Ours is full in the garden now and I have just measured the depth of water and its 18"! Okay that's after a few days use and we have splashed some out but we couldn't get more than about another 4" in, 6" would be coming over the top. So its not that deep.It takes an age to fill, obviously depends on your pressure but it took us two half days to fill it the first time. I guess emptying will be fun too.Unless you live on a completely level concrete slab your pool will not be filled on level ground. This means it will not end up being a complete circle when full, which means that your solar cover (if you buy one) won't cover the whole surface, and your pool cover will in all liklehood not fit either. We tent pegged our cover to the ground.Having said all that, we love it, its great fun, keeps us cool in the heat and the children have really enjoyed it. Would recommend and will buy another when we need to.Great price and great pool for some summer fun!The setup takes a little while as you need to pump up the top ring (which you are advised to do with a hand pump in the instructions). PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HAND PUMP IS NOT INCLUDED! It also took a couple of hours to fill up, but the effort is so worth it!after hours of filling up and enjoying the swim, filtered and cleaned it up, had the pool covered overnight and next day water level dropped considerably. the air bumper also leaked the air out. Product is leaking air and water.Great pool, used for parties, make sure you give yourself enough time to fill it though! It's very heavy and needs at least two people to set up and I've never quite been able to get all the wrinkles out, but it's great for the price. I also use a solar cover overnight to keep the heat in which helps.
