“Burst its seams after 2 days of light use.”
In the past, I had purchased a similar pool that lasted 2 years with no significant problems, so I was sure I would love the pool but noticed as we were setting it up that the plastic seemed much more flimsy.(same size, same price) This 10'x30'' pool burst its seams after only 2 days of moderate, gentle use. (Adults lounging on rafts like walruses in the sun, not jumping bean kids).
My daughter is now sadly laying in the 3 inches of water left in the pool while we wait the "at least 7 days" suggested by the distributor's customer service rep for a replacement. I told her that my former pool was much sturdier to which she replied, "yes, they used to be made in the USA but now they are made by the Chinaman."
It's 87 degrees today.
