Cleaning is a breeze thanks to the smooth and waterproof material, essential for maintaining a hygienic environment for young poultry.3.

The flexibility of the pool’s usage is perfect for those who are experimental and innovative in their approach to chick care, providing a secure and controlled environment for the chicks.4. Excellent Value: Considering its durability, size, and versatility, this pool offers great value for anyone looking into effective chick brooding solutions. It's an affordable investment that pays off in the health and vitality of your chicks.For anyone in the poultry-raising community, this pool is a must-have. It’s not just a functional item for summer fun, but an excellent repurposeable product for innovative chick care.

This is an honest review after having this pool for over a month now.My husband searched the internet and read review after review to find our family the perfect pool this summer. And this is it!-For starters, we have a 4 year old, 2 year old, and a 2 month old. This is a great size for our two older kids to swim in. It’s deep enough for them to swim from end to end. Shallow enough where we don’t have to be in the pool with them and can watch them from the side of the pool.-We also fit all 5 of us in here comfortably and let our littlest one splash around. Great for the whole family!-Pool is very sturdy and material is nice and thick-Easy set up! We put a tarp down before setting it up to prevent any holes on the bottom.-We filled it up Memorial weekend, and we’re almost to the 4th of July. We have not had to empty it out since then! Our kids swim in it every day, sometimes twice a day. Here are some tips to keeping it crystal clear:-We purchased the INTEX C1000 Krystal Clear cartridge filter Pump and run it every night for 10 hours-Change filter out every 2 weeks (you can buy a 2 pack at Walmart for $7)-We purchased the Intex Deluxe Wall Mount Surface Skimmer. This pulls all the bigger debris in like bugs, leaves and sticks from the trees above-Vacuum every morning with Intex Rechargeable Handheld Vacuum Cleaner before the kids swim-Shock it every week or two-when it starts to look a little hazy-Use clarifier every two weeks-We keep 2 of the 1” chlorine tabs in the turtle chlorine floaterIs it the prettiest? No 😂 would we love the look of a stock tank pool? Yes! But those aren’t practical if your kids actually want to swim. This can also be taken down after summer and (hopefully!) put back up the next year. If it doesn’t last through the summer, it’s cheap enough to replace. Overall, this has been the best pool for our family, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

I bought it to use as a pond for my ducks. Was a much cheaper option than other pond alternatives and almost no work to set up! I haven't had it set up for long, but so far there are no issues with it and it seems plenty durable. Very happy with the purchase.
