Isnt this going to cost a fortune in water to fill each time you want to use it?0

anyone got any ideas how much cloroform or chlorine to use in this and how often? my fingers hovering over the thanks button for whoever replys 

This is my 2nd year with a fastset 10' pool & I LOVE IT!! Especially in this weather. I only fill it once at the beginning, and then top it up about once a week. Although I've got the PH increaser/decreaser, I test the water once a week & have never had to use these. All I do, if I've used the pool is fill a small plastic jug with water, add a very small amount of chlorine granules, stir it around until disolved & then chuck it in the pool. Don't forget to run the filter afterwards for around an hour. I also invested in a heater (ebay) last year, cost £60 but it was worth it. At the moment, all I use is a solar cover (ebay) & it does heat the water during the day & it tends to keep warm well into the evening. Also, I found that it was much easier to cover the pool with as it just floats on the surface, rather than having to bother with a heavy cover & rope. I am on a water meter but didn't notice the difference in my bill last summer.
It takes around 4 hours to fill
Hope this helps someone!0 -
We've just spent all afternoon in our 10ft pool and its great

We havent got a solar cover but just a normal one that came with the pool but we've never had to put hot/warm water in it.
We havent used any chemicals as yet and am looking for some (will use the link above, thanks)
the money is well worth it

We bought a 12ft frame pool from https://www.funkycrab.co.uk - we did have one of these but the cats punctured it by sitting on the rim. Funkycrab also do the skimmer and hoover set for £7.99 (dirt cheap and you will need one), they also do lilos and noodles etc. Next day delivery and great customer services. I found out about them from another post on here, and the bestway pool that we got is normally £299 if you search the internet (we couldn't find it cheaper than that so £89.99 is a complete bargain)0 -
i was jus looking on funkycrab site and searching for pools and in the list the 10ft pool comes up at 29.99 with £7 postage.. seems a hell of a deal cos i havent seen chearper then £40 before
think i might order one myself, thanks

does anyone know how long the pipe is that is needed when emptying i would need the hose to stretch approx 10ft to reach my drain, i would love to get one but the hose length needs to be long enough0

to get it to fill so that the pool is a circle? I know it sounds daft! But, I filled ours today and it ended up lop sided. It is on flat ground but 2 parts of it, the wall is part of the floor (if you get what I mean) therefore the pool is almost oval and not as deep as it should be. Any help much appreciated.0
