Grabbed this bargain in store at Tesco in Lincoln. It had a big sign saying "£60" but when scanned with the Scan as you Shop handset, it came up at £40. Also scans through a normal till at £40.
Comes with a pump, so definitely great value. I've put mine up and the pool is HUGE.
You'll need the following bits and pieces if you want to keep the water nice and clean:
Also make use of the Sewerage Discharge Allowance from your local Water Board to reduce the price it costs to fill with water, especially good if you are on a water meter! Full info here.
They never make these tall enough, I want it to be 1.5m deep.

There are good reasons for that. They'd use several times the phenominal amount of water this one uses already. They'd require much stronger sides to withstand the pressure, and a larger bladder to float it. And they'd need a ladder.

I like this sort of product. It keeps tiny models employed.

Parents got the 8ft only took 2 hours to fill! Bought the 10ft for home.
Anyone got experience of chlorine free tabs to keep water 'fresh'?

A 10ft one will take half as much water again, in case your maths is lacking. :smiley:

Well let's see - you'll get through 50% more than you would with an 8' pool...

Comes with a pump, so definitely great value. I've put mine up and the pool is HUGE.
You'll need the following bits and pieces if you want to keep the water nice and clean:
Pool Chemical Float Distributor
Chlorine Tablets (To put in the above floater)
Pool Cover (To keep out the nasty bits and bobs such as leaves etc)
The following are optional:
Mains Plug Pump (The Argos battery one we purchased didn't do much good...)
Pool Heater
Also make use of the Sewerage Discharge Allowance from your local Water Board to reduce the price it costs to fill with water, especially good if you are on a water meter! Full info here.
Hope this helps!
