INTEX Swim Center Inflatable Family Lounge Pool: Built-In Bench – Cup Holder – 156 Gallon Capacity – 90" x 86" x 31" – Blue

For the price you get a very nice fun pool. I imagine children would love this, but This review is aimed at Adults wanting this pool as a lounging pool. Things to be aware of; 1.) There is no padding on the bottom of the pool so it is hard. I wear water shoes makes it so much softer and nicer on the feet. 2.) The vinyl is very thin—pool toy quality. Under inflate it to avoid ruptures. 3.) The tubes offer No support to help you get up, in and out of pool, if your old like me 😂 using a camp chair next to pool is very helpful. 4.) a king size fitted sheet works very well to cover the pool to keep out leaves and debris. — a little difficult to get on by yourself. 5.) have a flat surface, and use a mat to protect the bottom. 6.) Set the pool up in a shaded area if at all possible. Do not fully inflate— especially if the pool gets sunlight. Hot air expands and you will blow a seam. 7.) I filled the pool to about 4-6” above the bench. It was great. Only problem the bottom is very hard and not comfortable at all. Luckily the bench seat and backrest are fabulous. This pool is big enough for a large river tube to fit inside. I find myself lounging in the river tube more than sitting on the bench. Only because it’s difficult for me to get down and back up from the seat. (I’m in my late 60’s with arthritis in my knees. ) If you keep the tubes a little under inflated so they are soft you should have no problems with leaks — seams ripping etc. even my 2 small dogs can jump in and out with no worries of punctures. I recommend this pool. 👍

No joke! I love this thing. I wish it would last forever and I hope they don't stop making it. I'll buy a new one every summer! Another reviewer said it was so big that he could float in it. Well, I tried... and conquered! This thing was big enough for me to float in it on flamingo float ring. Here's a picture of me in my float and one of my boyfriend. He's 6'7 for reference! 7/16/2018 Update: Yes, I ordered another one this year. I mean, how could I not?! Only bummer... we've had some windy days. I tried to weight the empty bowl down with a chair inside of it, but the wind was too strong. So I ended up with some holes in the bottom. I bought an Intex patch repair kit for their above ground pools. It totally did the trick. Only, we had more windy days. So I said “F it” and bought ANOTHER pool this week. August 2020 Update: Wow, this thing keeps getting harder and harder to find each year! And it’s totally worth the price increase with this heat wave we have going on in California right now. Now that I’ve gone through about half a dozen of these pools, some advice I’d give us to not fill the pool with too much air so that it over stretches. This can lead to micro tears/leaks which are impossible to find and patch.

At first I absolutely love this pool! I even bought the Intex tarp to help with it. Unfortunately if you have the backrest aired up the tarp will not fit. So more often than not, it is actually deflated while we play in the pool. I absolutely love the seat and so does my son! Every once while we get rain storms. And do to the Intex pool tarp having holes in it, our water gets pretty gross quickly. I've had this for a total of 5 months. The first four months I've had no issues. I would drain it, scrub it, and refill it nearly every other weekend. Unfortunately we have went on vacation for a month and I drained it, cleaned it, folded it, and put it away. I got it out last weekend and did the same ritual of airing it up, clean it and filling it. Unfortunately within an hour the air in the top two rings began to deflate. My son's last pool had an issue with a pin hole so I took soapy water and rubbed across the entire rim until I found the leak. I did it with this pool 16 times, but unfortunately never found the hole. We fill the rings up and within 30 minutes it deflates. It would not be so bad if each ring was separated so that if we lost the top one I could still have water in the pool. As it is we barely have 8in in the pool to play in. I would have to say the worst part about the pool is the area behind the seat. We constantly have dirt, leaves, and grime that hide behind there. When scrubbing the pool I always have to make sure I get in there really good because if not we will get algae in the seams. It would probably have been better if they would have moved it farther in so that you can actually get back there with vacuum. Overall a decent pool, but don't expect it to last more than 4 or 5 months. I'm in the process right now to find a bit more heavy duty one.

I love this pool, my kids - their friends and cousins love it and so does anyone that sees it! It caters to adults as well as kids. It has a great bench and high back cushion, 2 cup holders and LOTS of swim room! The only complaints I have, which I will look past because I love it so much, is that the drain plug is directly on the bottom... So for us, because I put foam mats underneath, it won't drain without deflating the entire thing. To reinflate it's a quick game of get the plug in faster than you can put down the air pump! Without anything holding the air it does a VERY QUICK air release. It also fills incredibly fast as well. All in all, a great buy! Update on review, 7/12/16: Still loving it! It deflates after a few days and I have to keep reinflating it everytime I take it out but I am not sure if that's just due to where I'm storing it at and our weather (very hot!). This is a great pool for beginners! My 3 year old is newly afraid of the water and we are hoping that by making him comfortable with the pool itself, we can add water for him and he'll eventually enjoy it. It really is a great pool! I'm crossing my fingers it never pops! (7/2017) And it's done. I stored it correctly and for whatever reason it will not hold air! There are no holes in it and there's 3 different places to blow it up with air... What are the odds that every single part cannot hold any air. This deflated within the hour. So disappointed as my kids and I really loved this pool.

Good and value for money. Good for kid till 11 years

Me impresioné esta alberca, muy amplia y con la calidad excepcional de Intex, de hecho la compre para mis sobrinos y ponerla en la terraza, porque pensé que como en muchas publicaciones engañosas pues se ve enorme y en realidad es pequeña, pero NO la alberca es ENORME y si caben fácilmente tres adultos, de verdad es una hermosura esta alberca, resistente y con una profundidad que te tapa por mucho el cuerpo acostado, además de una muy cómoda zona para sentarte y tomarte tus bebidas mientras te bronceas, la inflamos con una bomba Intex que también adquirimos aquí en amazon. no me arrepiento de esta compra. Si hay en existencia tómala porque se agotan rápidamente, yo tuve que esperar para poderla comprar porque no alcanzaba!

Ich bin sehr zufrieden und habe schon 2 Ersatz gekauft. Nach 3 Jahren lässt er Luft, aber dies liegt nicht am Material, sondern sicherlich unsererseits, da der Untergrund dieses Jahr nicht so perfekt war. Fürs nächstes Jahr sind Pool Platten geplant.

Very Big pool 2 adults and 2 kids can enjoy easily.

The quality is superb.. big enough for the kids and elders as well. A must have pool for your backyard or anywhere for your personal use. Wish it came with an air pump.. delivered on time without any damages. Worth recommending
