Bestway 57274 Fast Set Pool Set Blue

Here is my pool now entering its fourth summer of use by all 9 of my grandchildren and associated adults. Its still as good as new. I've had no problem with the inflated ring deflating as some have, its kept its shape and is still sturdy. Its the best thing i've ever bought for my garden and has given us years of pleasure. However to enjoy it at its best its really important you follow the guidelines for using it and that can be time consuming. I notice a lot of people say put in on grass, don't! It should be placed on a level surface such as a patio on top of EVA tiles which cushion the bottom and protect the fabric. If you place it anywhere that slopes you'll end up with the water going to one side and probably collapsing! These pools need a lot of maintenance if you want sparkly clean water all summer so alongside the pool you'll need a pump, we invested in a bigger one as the one that came with it just didn't shift enough water. A cover, solar ones are brilliant as they help keep the water slightly warmer. Then there's the chemicals, chlorine and algaecide are the main ones but depending on your water you may need clarifier, ph plus or minus and most important test strips. Testing the water helps you balance the chemicals and keep the water clean. A pool brush and pool skimmer are neccessary and a pool vacumn is a very handy piece of kit. To keep your pool in top condition follow guidelines for daily and weekly maintenance. Yes its a bit time consuming but if you want your pool to last its well worth it. Happy swimming.

Ok so the instructions that came with this were pretty annoying and hard. I ended up going on youtube to look at how to set up the pump.Im a single mum and did this on my own. The ring at the top needs to be really blown up tightly. Again I blew this up as no pump. This was exhausting.I didn't read the instructions about only putting a little bit of water in then making the bottom flat. Again I found this out on Youtube after it was too late. Didn't seem to matter.Our pool is an oval shape and I think thats due to a little slant in our garden. Again this didn't seem to matter.Took 4 hours to fill. Yes 4 hours. I read somewhere it would be 45 mins. Whatever.It is nice and large and big enough to put 3 floaty's lie down and pretend you are abroad in this lockdown.My kiddos are happy and that is all that matters.Good item and I would buy again. Hopefully I won't need too.Top tip that I did see again on youtube is when you deflate and pack it away put some talc on it to stop it going hard. When you bring it out the following year you will be thankful as it will be nice and soft and easy to open again.

Very poor and disappointed children , the out rim had been stitched on the inside making the pool very shallow and it wasn't until we started filling it that we discovered it by which time it was to late to turn it inside out and try that as it takes so long to fill , but even if that is a option it means that the water release valves will stick into the ground

Nice pool for kids as it isn’t too deep. I have purchased a number of these pools over the years and whilst it’s still a good pool, the quality has dropped and the material is not as durable as pools I have had before.

Great pool, good price - value for money definitely.Only four stars because the pump it comes with isn't sufficient for the pool - needs to cope with 5000 litres and barely scratches the surface - doesn't detract from the pool/price though.Good prompt delivery
