Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

MAKE the ground flat...I dug out a space for it in my yard, built a little retaining wall around it with cheap paver bricks, filled the area with sand, leveled the sand, and voila. I leave the pool up in the winter with a cover over it, add the algae-cide and chlorine in the spring and its good as new. This is the best 60-70 dollars I've ever spent on my son. He, my nephews, and any other visitors play for hours and hours in the summer time...absolutely awesome for the money. I run the pump on a timer, 8 hours a day, add about 1 - 3 oz of chlorine granules a day in the hot summer, shock it after storms or heavy use, and it stays clear and clean. The directions clearly state that you must set up on level ground. It will collapse under the weight of the water as soon as a little one leans on an uneven side, so DO NOT USE IT ON UN-LEVEL SURFACES. We are off aprox 1" from side to side and that is about the most you can go without probs. I even take dips after mowing the lawn or working in the yard, and my wife and I use it like a cool-tub for romantic eve's. Nice to sit and sip on wine on a hot August night ; )
