Customers are satisfied with the size of the pool. They mention it's big enough for a few kids to splash around, and roomy enough for them to relax.

Customers are dissatisfied with the air capacity of the product. They mention that it keeps losing air, the bottom ring doesn't hold air for more than a few minutes, and the top tube deflates and needs additional air every few hours. It never gets fully aired up and would not hold water anymore.
"...the other two, which is why I’m giving it 3 stars, but also did not hold air as well as I would have liked...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Firstly, the pool: check the dimensions when buying as it is quite big - perfect for my three young children to jump around in and it would easily fit 4 adults as a lounge pool. It fills to about 1ft depth, but you can put a lot less in for small children. The sides are quite strong when inflated, so it does not need water volume to remain in shape. You must ensure it's level and not near any 'head cracking' dangers as the floor of the pool is slippery even when the water is clean.
Secondly, the set-up: I did not fancy having to empty this frequently as it takes a lot of water (max capacity is around 200 gallons). I therefore made the following set-up: (1) exercise mats to go underneath the pool. I bought two packs of 6 x 24" square 'jigsaw' exercise mats and they create a perfectly-sized base for the pool. This will protect your kids and the pool from any hard or rough surface under the pool. (2) footbath to keep the gunk out. I bought an 'inflatabuffet', which does the job nicely. (3) cover - tricky! The reviews of the covers are very mixed and they're very expensive. I bought an 8ft by 10ft piece of garden mosquito netting and 1/8 inch 25ft shockcord. The pool has a ridge halfway up, which means the shockcord will stay snug to the pool, then you simply lay over the mosquito net and tuck it in for a perfect seal all round. This keeps the bugs and leaves out, but lets the rain in - so no sagging in poor weather. I would not recommend this if you have dogs as the neeting is not strong, however, it's cheap and easy and works to keep the pool clear overnight. (4) water quality. I use a small amount of household bleach and bought the Aquacheck test strips. The manufacturer website will give you bleach dosage and the test strips will ensure your pool is OK for your kids at each use.
This set up cost just over $100 in total. My kids are delighted!
Note that foot lengths and widths for inflatable pools describe the pool from edge to edge, not the interior dimensions. I have had 10-foot pools, which have about 7.5 feet of space inside the pool. They are phenomenal, don't get me wrong, but for regular cleaning, it is a lot of water to deal with. That takes longer to empty and longer to refill.
The Intex Mandarin is a 7.5-foot-long pool, which means it's about 6 feet inside the pool, which is the perfect size for me. I'm about 5-foot-4, so I can lay down very comfortably inside the Intex Mandarin and bliss out with my beer floaty for hours at a time.
Maintenance is much easier with the Mandarin than with a larger, longer pool. I have got in the habit of using a cap-full of chlorine when I fill the pool and using a tarp with brick at each corner to cover it when I am not using it. This habit means a single fill-up can last me 3-4 weeks at a go. Then I use the pool water to give my dog a bath, refill the watering cisterns around the house, and wash my car. When it's empty, I'll use any kind of cleaning solution and a rag to clean it up before refilling it.
With that kind of routine and care, the Mandarin can last an entire baby pool season. My first one, a couple of years ago, I over-aired - you can see in one of the photos that one side has a kind of bulge. I've since learned it is much easier to under-fill the pool with air than for it to be at max air.
It also developed a small hole right on the seam, which is impossible to patch. My second, I stored over the winter, only to find I'd either not let it dry out enough or it dried out too much, but it also developed a fault in the intervening period. Unless you have an immaculate storage method, expect to need a new baby pool each season, but at the $25-30 price point, it is a proper bargain for how much I use it.
Sorry, y'all, I have a lot of thoughts about baby pools, and the Intex Mandarin is really, for me, the gold standard in economy inflatable pools. It can seat 3-4 adults, but I just use mine as my own private sensory deprivation vehicle for the North Carolina summers, and I more or less swear by it.

When the pool is over-filled by 2 or 3 inches, the water is about 10 or so inches deep(my patio is not level, so it's deeper at the bottom end, maybe 12 inches deep, and 8 inches deep at the top.
This inflatable pool by Intex works perfectly, and I'm really surprised at the durability even overfilled and possibly over-inflated.
After adding the water I also added some more air, and then I did have to inflate it again after a couple days, but I think it's because I slightly under-inflated it the first time.
I've only had it for a few days, but I'm so enthusiastic about this product that I had to show my pictures, then I ended up writing all this.
It's so refreshing on a hot day, and a great excuse to get outside and soak up some sunshine.
It's very easy to inflate, and the suggested optional cover (not included) fits perfectly and is easy to use, the suggested pump (not included) also works flawlessly.
I like it so much I bought an extra one and paid more for it to be delivered faster.
Thank you Intex.
UPDATE: I added some more air to the bottom and top sections, and it held for a couple weeks, then after a few weeks I started having to re-inflate the top part, but it could be because I over-inflated it to begin with. Initially, I disinfected the pool using bleach, but once that didn't work because the bottom got disgusting and slimy, I drained the pool, and scrubbed it with dish-soap and a sponge, then I started using using chlorine tablets. So I'm not sure what effect that might've had on the rubber and/or seals/seams. Anyway, once the top part deflated and the temperature got below 80, I decided it was time to recycle the plastic. The water was always really cold.
