User Submitted 15' x 36" Easy Set Pool Set (with Filter Pump and DVD) Reviews (cont...)
Date: 2001-06-20 not 15' foot pool, 13.8' we recently bought this pool and replaced our old 15' pool. It is much smaller than our old pool. Intex said we were not measuring it right, at the widest point (about 6" from the bottom) it is only a 13' 8" pool. very dissapointed that we down sized by buying a new pool. the difference is 20% less water volume and 60 square feet of surface area. It is like swimming in a barrel.
Date: 2001-06-18 Fun for the Kiddies and Mom and Dad too :-) We purchased this swimming pool 2 days ago and faithfully watched the video so we could start putting the pool up the next morning. The video made it look real easy. Until we got out there and tried it ourselves. My husband even commented on "why did the video make it look so much easier". If the pool is not on level ground your neighbor will get a little flood onto his driveway as ours did. We have a rather small yard and the one side of the yard dips a bit so that is why the water came out. Everyone is told not to lean on that side now. The pool took some time getting together, actually a whole day by the time you smooth out the liner, fill the air ring, wait for the water to warm, etc. it was the next day before our overanxious children were able to go swimming. It is sort of frightening to our 3 year old and 22 month old. The height is a good size for older children and my husband and I even managed to have some fun. It is large enough for me to put in a floating air mattress annd the girls can fit in their fun noodles and beach balls. It is rather spacious in my opinion. But the directions really should have came with instructions on what types of water additives to add in rather than make novice pool owners as ourselves guess at what to do.
Date: 2001-06-18 Be patient and you won't have any complaints with this pool After reading every positive and negative review I could find on this pool, my husband and I decided to give this pool a try. We went over all the complaints, from treating the pool, putting a cover on the pool, and the most important thing is making sure the ground is level. So I will pass on a few tips that can help you the future pool buyer be aware of. The first thing that is the hardest part and can be a bit of a pain. You should measure out the diameter of pool and go around placing a level on a brick (or something that won't be warped) work your way through out the circle and check to see how level your ground is. If you need to put down sand or something to make the ground as level as possible I would do it. It took my husband 2 hrs to get this done. Next we laid out a ground cover, we were really not sure if we needed this or not. Then came the pool, and using a small air compressor (not a bike pump like the video shows) it took 45 min. to completely fill the ring. You must fill ring to the point where there are no more wrinkles in it. Then we did as the video says, to remove wrinkles in the bottom of pool. With 2in of water in the pool, my husband started from the center on hands and knees pushing wrinkles to the outer edges. Then filled the pool the rest of the way, and put the cover on it when we were done. The next day we had a bad rainstorm, and when it cleared up there were leaves and dirt all over the cover. After pulling the cover back finding a clean pool, that was a plus. We found a couple of pluses to the ground cover. If you put a bucket of water next to the ladder you can wash dirt off your feet and not bring it into the pool, and when you come out of the pool you can step on the cover and not wet ground from where the kids have been splashing water out. As for chemicals, you do need them. Buy a tester, or take your water to be tested. Get a floating chlorine dispenser, clearifier, and algaecide. We haven't used the last two yet, but you never know. So as a overview of the pool. You will get close to 15' across on the top if your ground is level and you will be able to get the 36" if your ground is level. Add more air the next day to the upper ring since sun expands the vinyl some. Spend the extra money to get a pool cover, it will save on time wanting to get in the pool instead of fishing things out. I know I have done a lengthy review, but I hope this information has helped you, and saved you a little time looking around as I have at everyone elses complaints. It took my husband and I 8hrs from start to finish. My husband and I enjoy our pool, but not as much as our 2 kids. So the extra work was worth it...
Date: 2001-06-11 Fun for kids, helps them learn to swim This pool is lots of fun for the kids and a super way for kids to get comfortable in the water and learn to swim. My kids are 4 and 6 and love it - older children may get bored in this size pool. Make sure the ground is perfectly level before filling or it won't work properly. It is a big project if you are on unlevel land. Once it is up and running, it is very rugged. It is a GREAT value for the cost.
Date: 2001-06-07 pool size We purchased the pool thinking we were getting a full 15 x 36 pool > Don't let the dimensions fool you.. After we set it up and measured the pools depth it is actually only about 28 inches deep and the pool is only 12 feet across the top...the 15 feet is the measurement across the very bottom only. If you want a 15 x 36 pool you better buy the 18 x 42. I was very' disappointed in the size..as I can not use it for what we intended to use it for...A place for handicapped person to do water arobics in. Pool may be fine for just the kids to play in.
