INTEX 28273NP 4.5 x 2.2 x 0.84 m Rectangular Frame Pool - Blue

This is my first experience with a bigger paddling pool so thought I would leave a detailed review for other first time potential owners. I got the 4.5m long rectangle Intex frame pool. The pool arrived quickly. The box is on the heavier side so you may need someone to help you move it, but I managed to move it from inside to outside on my own just by ‘walking it’. I set the pool up alone and it was pretty easy, mostly. I sorted everything out prior to building it into their individual sections, the poles that need to be placed in certain sections around the frame top are all labelled with their corresponding letters (A,B & C) which is helpful. It said in the instructions to sprinkle some talcum powder onto the poles before putting them in the liner sleeves, this is apparently meant to help when dismantling the pool. I did do this however I’m not really sure if it will make a difference or not, just mentioning it so you can pick up a large but cheap bottle of talc prior to building it. Everything about building the pool was mostly very easy and straight forward. The only area I did struggle with is, a couple of the blue plastic T joiners were very hard to get on, most of them went on without issue, but 2 didn’t and 1 in particular I had to get a hammer to help me tap it onto/into the metal pole after trying for ages to get it on by hand. I was alone and so maybe it would have been easier with 2 people, or a strong chap but I did struggle a little with that, finally got them on though. All in all I think it took me around 1.5-2 hours to build it, but again I was building it alone and did have the issue with getting a couple of the parts on. I purchased separately the Intex filter pump, the larger one that takes the TypeA filters. This comes with separate instructions, is easy to set up and I have left some pictures and a review on that (also purchased via Amazon). The pool has been placed onto a concrete/brick patio. I purchased 2 large tarpaulins, 1 to go under the pool and 1 to use as a pool cover. The cover seems great, I use the tarpaulin and tarp bungees to secure it down, very simple, does the job and much cheaper option. The pool took around 6 hours to fill using a standard hose and the outside tap. This pool is absolutely massive, which is great and what I wanted, however just mentioning it as some people may underestimate just how big it is then struggle for space, it’s HUGE! And because it’s so big I would say you 100% need to buy the filter pump and some chlorine so that once it’s full you don’t have to empty and fill it all over again each time you want to use it. I separately purchased a chlorine floater with the chlorine tablets (also on Amazon and still waiting for them to arrive). I then bought a pool maintenance type kit which is basically just a telescopic pole with 2 heads, 1 being a net for getting surface debris out and the other a pool floor vacuum head. I got the Bestway one as it was around £10 cheaper than the Intex kit. Seems fine, I gave the net a go and it works well, haven’t used the vacuum head yet though. I thought I could get away with not having to also buy a pool ladder. My son is 9 and very tall for his age so thought it would be ok for him to just hop in and out. However, when I had to get in the pool when I started to fill it (to smooth out the creases on the pool floor), I struggled, and I’m 5ft8. So today I’ve also purchased the Jilong 2 step 84 pool ladder, also on Amazon and cost £25. This is the cheapest ladder and it says it can be used in pools up to 84cm side pool height, I measured and my pool is 80 so this ladder should do the job fine, hasn’t arrived yet so can’t comment further on it, but I do recommend getting a ladder as it will be tricky for kids and even adults to get in and out otherwise. I didn’t bother to buy the electric heater or the solar heat mats. The electric one costs an absolute fortune to run and has mixed reviews about its performance, and I didn’t get the solar mats as again mixed performance reviews and also the only place I would have to lay it out next to the pool is on the grass and I didn’t want to kill the grass underneath it. The pool is massive and really quite deep so this is such a treat. I highly recommend it but definitely suggest doing your own further research to see what else you might need. Hope this review was helpful.

It bigger than it looks in the pictures. If you read the discription you might think it’s 2.2M X 1.2M. NO. IT ISNT. It’s actually 4.5 m X 2.2M and it holds about 7400ltrs of water. And when full weighs about 7 tons. So don’t put it on a deck or timber platform It needs solid ground be it dirt or is on slabs I’d recommend a thick rubber type exercise mats. If you value your lawn then don’t put it on the grass. It will kill it and it will die. Chlorine and pressure for 1 week killed my lawn and surrounding area. Brilliant for my granddaughters. They spent there summer almost always in the pool. Amazing fun and so much bigger than the picture. Amazing price the pump will need filters and a floating chlorine dispenser. Oh and chlorine tablets. All available on Amazon.

Its BIG, easy to put up but make sure you have enough room for it. It only JUST fits in my not so big garden. Anyway, arrived quick enough (its Amazon what do you expect) and stayed in its box as summer was a bit damp. Been up for the last few days and its brilliant, sturdy and can fit 6 (grand) kids and two adults with no issues, can probably fit a few more kids (& adults) but seemed a bit weird asking the neighbors to borrow theirs. Things I had wished I had known before buying it. 1: why didn't I buy one of these before MUCH better (and more expensive) than the 10 foot ring ones 2: dont waste your money on the so called custom fit covers. They dont fit and its cheaper to get a tarpaulin (£10 wickes) and some elasticated tarpaulin ties (£2 wickes too) that covers the whole lot a load cheaper 3: BUY A FILTER PUMP it doesn't come with one and the 550 gallon ones (type A filter) not the 330 gallon ones - they arent man enough for the job. Currently under £30 (most need a 2 pin to 3 pin adapter) 3 days of moderate use and the waters already murky even with the kids wiping their feet before they get in 4: Buy a skimmer too mainly because it looks kind of cool and the kids can see all the "stuff" it collects currently £25 ish quid 5: Run the filter for at least 6 hours (8 to 10 hours recommended) it makes a difference 6: It takes a long time (6 hours in our case) to fill up - that a a LOT of water. 7: If you are on a water meter you can speak to water board and get a gimme on filling the pool up once I believe (then you really will want a filter) 8: If the kids are small - a ladder is a good idea - we had one from a previous year

A fantastic buy, great value for money..bought in 2017, still in excellent condition & with this weather it’s getting used daily

Upgradeded from same make blow up one and it really is like a really swimming pool. Takes a bit to get it put together (and put away) but the end result is grandchildren are happy. You definitely need a solar cover and overall cover to keep it in a cleaner condition and some Kleenpool to keep the water in condition. Recommended.

This pool is brilliant. Measured prior to buying as it is large if you are used to paddling pools. The kids love it and can't get them out. Was purchased with the filter pump and some chlorine tablets in a dispenser and both are a must if you want to keep the water healthy. After dipping I had to add some reducer and levels are all good now. All in all a good buy at a good price. Just remember the price is going to be 100 more by the time you have the cover etc. Only thing of note is that euro car parts were very slow on delivery. Was 13 days from ordering but was able to have it up on the easter weekend.

Fantastic paddling pool... easy to put together.... very large... good-looking once erected.... that once we filled it with water we realised there was a tiny pinhole in the lining which had nothing to do with us.... obviously would have been able to send back but that would have been too much of a headache... thank you gorilla tape

コロナ過に購入した同じタイプの3ｍのものを5年ほど利用、流石に錆がでたりしてきたのでサイズアップを兼ねて4ｍ50を購入。組み立てや設置は同じようなやり方なので２人で30分後度でできました！（初めのころは3ｍで４０分ほどかかっていました）３メートルと違うのは、もちろん長さもですが深さも増し大満足です★ 私はかなりの力持ちの方ですが、女性だと１人ではもてません。庭まで持っていくのにかなり苦労しました笑笑 以前のものは破れる事なく「来年買い換えよう」を２回ほど繰り返し、かなりコスパがいいと思います！ 3ｍだと3，4時間遊んで飽きたりもしていましたが、4.5ｍだとずーっと泳いでいます☆ワンサイズ上げるだけでここまで遊んでくれるなら、はじめからこのサイズにすればよかったと思いました！

Très belle piscine, bonne qualité et taille très raisonnable pour le prix. Montage facile

Reçu trouer , bien évidemment s es au remplissage que l ont s en rend compte

La opción perfecta para pasar un buen verano, es la tercera que tengo, conforme mis nietos han ido creciendo, he ido aumentando el tamaño, sin que sea peligroso para ellos, pues son pequeños. La calidad es suprema, con una buenísima terminación, un material excelente, y un bonito color. Se monta y se desmonta muy fácil, y rápido.
