12ft x 30' Swimming Pool with Filter. Was £300. Now £60!

Hi.

With summer coming up soon this might be nice for someone.

I am unsure how much delivery is.

£300 seemed a bit optimistic but £60 is an absolute steal!

I would order one, however I am a student who is at home over easter and I would need to measure our yard which is 60 miles away, It would be a pretty tight fit I rekon so I ain't going to risk it. Hopefully it will still be available at this price in 5 weeks, but I am very doubtful!

There is also one at £40 posted a few days back.

The £40 pool is only 10ft. The £60 one is 12ft, you would be suprised how much difference that extra 2ft makes!

Edit - Just did some quick maths and I think it is 44% bigger! (I used area rather than volume, but if both 30" high I guessed it would be the same? I failed AS Level maths.)

Does anyone have any experience of this pool. Does it deflate quickly?? Is it expensive to fill up?? At £60 I guess it is worth taking a chance but still, better to check first

You only have to in/deflate the top ring. Sorry don't know how much to fill, as i am not on a meter.

shrek101 · 23 March 2005 at 11:27AM

I never said it was the same size, mearly that there was an alternative at a lower price. I take your point about volume.

id guess that these pools r the same size, they are just measuring them from different places .... ie one is measuring the top opening , the other is measuring the base

Oredred mine, can't wait to dive in. Thanks

Haven't they been saying that rainfall is way lower than expected? And that we'd need 6 weeks of solid rain to catch up or something like that? Dont' be surprised if we're facing water restrictions this summer, probably meaning no use of pool, probably why they have reduced these prices to shift their stock before restrictions are imposed!

If someone can correct me on this though, I'll probably buy one :-)

shrek101 · 23 March 2005 at 1:42PM

Good point Andrew I believe there will be restriction in the south of England, I saw an article only yesterday

Here we go

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4370995.stm

"It said a dry April would make restrictions in the South West, the Midlands and East Anglia more likely."

I will be alright up north we don't have the urban sprawl

Just deprivation

Fine for me up north as we have Keilder (Carlisle has some extra water as well)
