Intex 56475EP Swim Center Family Lounge Inflatable Pool, 90" X 90" X 26", for Ages 3+

My husband and I came very close to buying an Intex, 15 foot above-ground pool this year. We were gung ho about it all winter long then Spring hit and the backyard projects began. The thought of adding yet another project (leveling the yard where we were going to put the pool) made our excitement wilt a LOT. We are experts on jumping the gun on things and going TOO big too soon as far as our 3 year old son is concerned so we decided to really think about what our family's needs are for a pool. Mostly, I was just looking for something big enough to cool off in during our brutal summers, and something for our son to splash in. Yes, it would be great for us "big people" to be able to kick back on a big floating raft in a larger pool, but we knew that the reality would be us taking turns holding our son up in a deeper pool where the water level would be over his head. Not much fun and not very relaxing. We knew he'd like something a lot more that he could stand up in and get in and out of himself so we shopped around and found this pool. At the price, it was worth a try. This past week we had some nearly 90 degree days (we live in Texas) so in we went. My son was ecstatic and had a blast. Big enough for me and hubby to sit in (and we are both very tall) and my son to still splash around in and play with his boats. I love the inflatable seats and backrests and the cup holders are a nice touch too. I will say that if you're tall to leave a couple of the seat cushions uninflated so you're down further in the water, otherwise only a little of your rump and legs are in there. I invested in a small, portable water pump (about $25) with hose attachment so I can water my plants as I drain the pool instead of just flooding the yard each time. Makes the drainage and cleanup so much more hassle free and I can kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Haven't noticed any leaking issues, either. Overall I think this pool meets the needs of a family with little kiddos very well and I'm happy with the purchase.

2024 vs 2010.I purchased the **Intex 56475EP Swim Center Family Lounge Inflatable Pool** back in 2010, and it's been nothing short of fantastic. Despite my less-than-perfect storage attempts, it's held up remarkably well, a testament to its superior durability.The pool is spacious enough to comfortably float two adults, or 9 adults if you're up to it, making it the perfect relaxation spot. It's not just a pool; it's a haven of tranquility and fun that has stood the test of time.In conclusion, this pool was a great purchase. It's provided over a decade of joy and shows no signs of stopping. Here's to many more summers of splashing fun!p.s. If you need a new cap this one fits but put an o-ring in it or something along that line - 4569 Pool Drain Plug Cap - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4Z8LGP4

This product is exactly as advertised - perfect for lounging, just the right size and depth. I live in the Northeast and can't justify the cost of an inground pool for our shoddy summers, but I do love sitting out in the sun on our rare hot days. I am a 5'5" woman, and I normally use it alone which I prefer. I haven't yet had four grown adults in it, and it's hard to imagine it unless they were really good friends, or we all had a few beers. My husband sometimes joins me, and we tend to sit *not* diagonal from each other so our feet don't touch. It does comfortably fit two, but when I get really hot I like to slide under water which would be hard to do with someone else there. I fill it a little below the fill line so I can prop my book on top of my legs, and it works out great. The water is deep enough to cool me off, but still allow me to use a book or laptop in the pool. My tan is spectacular from laying out, which is an added bonus.I know this is a common complaint, but I do wish it had four cup holders as well. The placement of them sometimes dictates where my husband and I to sit, and it's not always the sunniest seat. :)For cleanliness, I add a couple tablespoons of bleach and use a Splash Pools solar cover to keep it clean and bacteria free, and it works for me. I still dump it out and refill it every couple weeks, which has increased our water bill but it's worth it.I do have it on my deck, which concerned me at first because of the weight, but it's been fine and it's nice to not have to walk across the grass and get muddy going to and from it. We have not had any problems with any holes or leaks and we're careful about it, but I can see debris under the pool that has yet to poke through so that's good. My 12 lb dog also likes to jump on it, and her paws have not done any damage to the walls which is good. I am hoping I can clean it and pack it up well enough at the end of the season that I can use it again next summer, but for the price I'm not concerned if I need to replace it each season.This is a great product, and I'm glad they finally catered to us adults that are too embarrassed to have a kiddy pool in our yard but want to soak in the sun too!
