Intex 57470EP

Introduction

This is a 62” x 62” x 48” pool that provides a detachable sun shade to protect children from the harmful rays of the summer sun. The size and depth are perfect for small children ages 3 months and over. This is a fully inflatable pool with drain plug and repair kit.



Ideal Use

This pool is designed for ages 3 months and over, with enough space for children up to 3-4 years of age depending on the size of the child. In most cases, this pool provides enough room for 4 small children to play and splash in. When fully filled with water (up to 74 gallons), the pool reaches a depth of approximately 9.5”. Young children will require constant adult supervision for safety. This pool is designed for outdoor play, but could be used indoors with proper preparation to avoid messy spills.

Ease of Use

This pool is easy to inflate with an air pump. The pool and sun shade are two separate chambers, allowing for ease of setup and storage. The Velcro attachments for the sun shade make setup and removal a quick and easy process.

There is also a drain plug on the bottom of the pool to make clean up easy.

Attachments

This pool includes a detachable sun shade that fastens to the pool with Velcro. The smaller size allows for inflation using either a hand or battery powered pump. There are no additional attachments available for this pool, but toys designed for water play work well for added enjoyment.

Price

This pool is relatively inexpensive given its size and overall durability. Most users are satisfied with their purchase, and have been able to get multiple uses and seasons out of the pool.

Customer Feedback

This pool is a great size for small children, and the shallow depth allows parents to reach into the pool easily to allow babies to sit in the water. Some adults were even able to sit in the pool with the children to provide even more safety and peace of mind. The fast inflation of both pieces makes setup easy, and the use of Velcro allows for quick removal of the sun shade as desired.

This pool is designed as a kiddie pool, so those with older children will not find this to be a great option. However, it does allow for sitting and splashing for babies and toddlers. As with any pool however, adult supervision is required when allowing young children to use the pool.

The bottom of this pool is not padded, so it is recommended that a tarp or rug be placed underneath to provide added protection from rips or tears, or pokes from hard dirt beneath.

The most significant issue with this pool is the attachment of the sun shade. The small Velcro fasteners allow the shade to blow off or get knocked loose easily by bumping or a breeze. However, most users found that complete inflation helped with this issue. Additionally, it is also possible to use string and tent spikes to tether the shade in areas that are prone to stronger winds.

Some users also discovered tiny holes in the product upon delivery, so it is recommended that the product be checked thoroughly upon receipt to ensure product quality. As with any inflatable pool, this one will lose air over time, but this was not a serious issue for most users.

This is a great kiddie pool that provides shade to protect children from the sun. The price and durability make this a great option for small children.
