Bestway Fast-Set Pool - 10' x 30" Review

Good Points
The sturdy build and the fact one person can set up is an advantage. The depth and size is perfect for a family of 4. Looks very nice in the garden. This is low cost and a good treat for you. A perfect addition to the garden if you dont mind a cold pool.

Bad Points
I was disappointed with the filter and heater and I am not even temped to give it another go, my husband can try if he wants but there is so much water everywhere when the pipes and stoppers are removed and it is so complicated.

General Comments
Bestway Fast-Set Pool - 10' x 30" - The pleasure of this pool may have been taken away from me a bit as me and my husband had to spend a week levelling out an area in the garden for it to lay. That aside I was very impressed with the sturdy build of it. I was able to set the pool out and fill it on my own which was good. I decided to get an early start and began to fill the pool at 9am, 7 hours later the pool was filled. The kids were still able to play about anyway as the sides rise as it fills. If you want to use the pool to relax on a lilo or for inflatable toys for the children I would not recommend any smaller than the 10ft. You can get one lilo and a dragon on comfortably. I decieded to leave the filter and heater til the next day. This was another matter entirely! I presumed they could be left outside and simply switched on at the start of the day for a few hours before the pool is used but I was very wrong. You cannot use the pool when these are running as there is cables everywhere. You will need a circuit breaker switch too. The filter and heater are attatched together by one pipe then into the pool at each end it makes for a very cumbersome piece of equipment. You have to be so fast and careful when removing the stoppers and pipes as you can get quite a flood as we found out! I am now considering selling the filter and heater as I have enough chemical treatment to last the summer and a solar cover - fingers crossed for sun, I am in England after all. Even with the heater on for two hours there did not seem even the slightest change in temperature. Maybe a full run for 48 hours or so would do the trick but can you risk leaving electric cables outside running all night? I still think I am yet to enjoy my new pool but maybe on a hotter day. Maybe dont try to be fancy like me and have all the gear just accept it as a large paddling pool but with treated water.
