Big 10ft Simple Set Pool & Pump - NEXT DAY DELIVERY!

I've just ordered a 10ft simple set pool & pump on next day delivery

the pool is £40 (reduced from £100) and delivery is free over £50.

if you pay £15 for fast delivery, they "usually arrive the next day" (as the customer service quoted). my fingers are firmly crossed!

they also have a cover for £9.99 i've been told this is worth getting! (even if its only hot for another 3 days!)

i know these pools are in short supply at the moment so hopefully this helps a few people out there who need to cool down!

    Fill it up then leave in the sun and it gets warm, or you can buy the cover with solar powered heaters in it.

    LOL, sorry, i always laugh when i hear that. How long did you think it would take? I have a 12 foot one and it takes about 6 hours.

    A cover is a must to help keep algae down - put it on when pool is not in use to reduce photosynthesis - chemicals from here: http://www.chemipool.com/

    Can anyone recommend a pool with a surround or something, I don't quite know what I'm looking for but probably a cross between one of these pools and a "proper" above ground pool. Thanks

    The solar covers are just like bubble wrap, but they act like a load of mini greenhouses on the surface and can help to warm the water by an extra couple of degrees. They help, but to be honest not that much.
