Funsicle15 Foot by 36 Inch Quickset Round Inflatable Ring Top Outdoor Above Ground Swimming Pool Set with Pump and Cartridge Filter, Dark Herringbone

This could not be any easier to put up and enjoy. It's just deep enough for kiddos to have fun without too much worry. Also deep enough the adults can sit and cool off too.

Good size, solid pool

Let’s say that you’ve worked really hard and leveled off this ground. And you put this thing down at the start filling it with water that still doesn’t mean that the sides are going to come up like they should at least they didn’t for me.And I’ve had one problem with it after another. It’s very thin so you gotta make sure you lay down things underneath! I laid down several layers of thick plastic. And then I put down a thick tarp that I had to buy. I put blocks in the corners on the sides and started filling this thing up.Of course I rototilled the ground before that too, and I raked it and I tried to get on anything I could put. But, this plastic is still very thin. Even with all that you could kind of feel underneath when you walked around inside of it when you put your 1st inch of water in there, you can still fill the ground. I felt couple of things that were just weeds but I pulled up the plastic pulled out those weeds, even though they were cut and raked, there was just what was left of them and I could tell with The bottom of my foot that this was going to be a problem.Then start filling it and I have to tell you, you have to be careful because sometimes the water in it just starts to move in such a way that one side starts to be a little lower at the bottom. It’s just cause you’re filling up with water, even if the ground is level. it’s a headache because you gotta keep going out there putting the water in and pulling this thing up and making sure that it’s even. At least, I had to.It Still looked like it might be leaking.. I first started filling it. One side for some reason just sort of let the water flow out this was after it ran for a couple of hours and the thing was maybe a foot high all around but one side for some reason most of the water spilled out on the lawn.I had to go back outside at night pull up that side even though everything was even just didn’t flow right. And the next thing is to start filling it up and I have to keep running it and shutting it off running and shut it off when I go away I don’t wanna keep it running the water. you just don’t know what’s gonna happen. It’s not like filling up the pool that is building a frame!So then I return and I start filling it up and it starts taking shape. After a few hours take some more shape. And then it’s got me wondering is this thing is gonna ever be even why is one-sided sticking out more than the other it’s not that side is low or anything? That just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me except that it’s the way it’s built, it’s not inside of any sort of frame.When it was filled I realized that if anybody got in and moved around that whole inflatable ring at the top and say, oh, certain number of inches maybe a foot below that is all shaking!The pool is not stationary. And that’s when I realized why they told you not to fill it any higher than the bottom of the ring (which I hadn’t), because they said you’d lose water.My friend, this thing doesn’t maintain its shape! that’s very important to know. This thing does not maintain its shape. This thing does not maintain its shape!So I think, adults can’t get in this thing because it’ll just fall apart or shake and spill. An adult can’t get in there and splash around or anything. I’ve been led to believe that an adult can do that.Now, here comes more trouble: I then went to put the filter and guess what? The filter doesn’t work!I followed the directions. Plugging it in adjusting it pushing buttons (by the way, every time you turn on the filter every time I plug it into use it, they want me to unplug it, plug it in and then start pushing buttons on the power supply. Have you ever heard of anything like that?You know there’s a test and then there’s another test or something and then there’s something to get it going.I went through through this repeatedly. The Filter does not work!!!!!This means that if I replace the filter it will take time to get another one.By the way, most of the filter hose hook ups to the pool are not dripping, but one is! and also where it hooks up to the filter it’s dripping there. Don’t tell me I didn’t hook it up right because why are the others working perfectly fine?Ow, get another filter? let’s see: if this one’s replaced then I don’t know how long that’s gonna take a few days OK so hopefully the water will stay clear enough for little kids to swim in it but think about it it shouldn’t be that way that was something new!!?,!When a replacement comes I’m gonna have to unattached those hoses. If I don’t have somebody helping me holding those hoses upward above the I got the pool then I’m gonna be holding a new filter in those hoses and water is gonna be poured out all over the place. I gotta get wet and everything around me is gonna get wet, while I’m losing pool water.This will bring down the water level and thus, the height of the sides! It will cause the pool to lose more of a structural integrity. And believe me, I am using the phrase is structural integrity which this pool just doesn’t have anyway!I’m dictating this because I’m very upset and I know that spellcheck is taking some of the words and misspelled them or put other words where I said something else if you know what I mean? But I’m just really upset. I’ve had it with this.So now I got all set up and of course I threw the big boxes away. I’m somehow going to have to find out how to return this monstrosity after a little water out of it if they ask me to put it in a box do I have the original box blah blah blahI’d be very happy if I could take this pool and this filter and bring it to whoever makes these things and just dump it on their head. That’s how disgusted I am.I also have to say that I live in Texas it is 102° out during the day but I think I’m showing a lot of patience regardless of the heat.If I had known any of this I would never have bought this pool. If you can call it a pool. It’s sort of a glorified inflatable kiddie pool that is badly designed.So if I were you you think I would buy it? Do you think I would say this is exactly what I’ve been looking for? Oh goody! oh wonderful! oh joy! here is the wonderful little pool I’ve been looking for?Buy it? Well, I’m leaving that up to you.

We have owned a number of these inflatable ring pools, although this is our first Funsicle brand. This is the best looking one we have owned (basket weave pattern) and love the dark color. Super easy setup (I'm 63 years old and just over 5' tall- set it up by myself in under 2 hours)! Quality is similar to other brands we have spent more money on. It does need a ground cloth which did not come with the pool. Had an issue with the pump not working properly. It was just very weak. Called the customer service line. Waited less than a minute for a technical support person who walked me through trouble shooting. No idea what the issue was but after disassembling and reassembling, the pump worked fine. The tech support person was super friendly, helpful, and patient. I wish the pump & cartridge were a little larger, but for the price, it will get us through the summer. And the great customer service means I'm a loyal customer now.

We like the outer appearance. Was easy to set up. The pool itself and the inflated ring is not as heavy duty as the Intex EZ-Set pool. Consequently, the water level can only be filled to the bottom of the ring. If the water level is allowed to go higher from over filling or heavy rain fall, the pool can spill out its contents. We occasionally have to drain the pool down to a suitable level to avoid catastrophic overflows.

This pool was very easy to set up, I did it all by myself in just a short time. It did take about six hours to fill the pool with the hose. This pool did nothing to warm the water so best to figure out a way to do that yourself. The depth was too deep for me to sit on the bottom and be able to breath (I'm 5'4") and came up to my crotch when standing. Ones of the important things to remember about this pool is that it is 12' on the bottom, but the sides angle inwards and I would say this pool is really only about 10' in diameter. This is important to know when buying a cover for the pool. The ring stayed completely filled and floated all summer long.We live in Wisconsin so we completely drain this pool rolled it up and put it in our shed for the winter. The next spring when I went to bring it out and fill the inner tube with air I noticed that it deflated halfway within an hour or two. I was shocked at this since it sat on used in our shed all winter, how could I have holes? I searched and searched and searched and searched for these holes but was only able to find two. I used all the tricks in the book to try and find the holes in this inner tube but I could not. I can tell you that the pool will stay filled even if the inner tube is only half full of air. All summer long every single day I had to pump this up and all summer long every single day it deflated. However the pool never broke or drained on its own. I should also state that the holes were in the inner tube not the lining of the pool. I was able to enjoy a second summer with this pool however it was a very frustrating summer as that inner tube deflated within an hour after filling. After the summer was over we threw it away. With a product like this I expected to last longer than one summer so I do not feel like this was worth the money especially since I took the time to care for it when winterizing it. This summer I'll be looking for a pool that has steel poles instead of inflatable.

I bought this last year and the one time I tried to put it up I couldn’t. I couldn’t get it to spread it out correctly but then again I was having to do most of it by myself. I wish I had bought one that had been easier to do

Love it best $150 I’ve spent
