Questions about our pool purchase

We went to Toys R Us today to look at pools and winded up getting this one (down below) The one we have is similar just bigger.

We didnt want to get an above ground or inground due to financial reasons and we're not sure we'll be living here much longer..

so my question is does anyone have a pool like this? any suggestions or tips lol.. I've never had a pool and am wondering if we just wasted our money Chat Icon

These are great..just make sure the ground is level...even a small slope can make all the difference.

There are instructions that come with the pool that give you tips on putting it up. If you dont get it level it will list to one side...it's easier to just get the ground level in the beginning with usually sand or dirt than to deal with the listing pool..other than that it goes up very easily. Just think about where your outlet is for the pump before you lay it out. You'll want the pump to be on the outlet side.

Do you leave it up all the time? Or do you put it away after each use?

We had a lot of problems with ours. If you leave it filled up you do have to put chemicals in it and run a filter or else it will turn green. It will also ruin your grass so make sure you put it in a place that you don't care about. Also, I would suggest getting the solar cover. That did work really well.

And one more thing def don't skip the part about the ground having to be very level. When you fill it up, it will lean to one side and amy collapse.
