20 Best Gifts For Pool Owners (2023 Updated)

I tried it out today and love it. But I AM concerned on the ripple side there is a hole, not a big one. but anybody ever have one come with one? The insert paper says it’s made from closed-cell foam so cuts will not affect the buoyancy.

Just making sure what others’ experience is. Thanks.

Not as nice as another one I have. It is not as wide across or as thick as another one I have. This causes you to sink down more in pool. I have bad ears and I think that with this one my ears would be at least partially submerged.

My wife is light and she still sinks pretty good on this one. The ribbing on this isn’t nearly as deep as the other one I have either. I like it thicker so it creates a better channel underneath of you.

I would not call it a bad product but I know there are other ones available at same price that are much better at least for me.

This AMAZING!! It’s huge. Super thick material! Used in pool. We took this on the boat and anchored then floated for hours in the Ocean! It’s so comfortable I keep falling asleep in it!! Great pricing for this most definitely high end Recliner Inflatable Lounge.

This arrived so very well packaged. The grandchildren fight over this one. I usually end up winning. I personally inflated this with no issues. It took approximately 2 1/2 minutes for me to inflate. Super easy.

I’m disabled so this was easy for me! Exactly as described. So pleased with this purchase.

We Love it! It took a bit to inflate it, about 10 minutes with a bellows air pump. It is quite comfortable to float around in, but don’t lean over to one side or it tilts over into pool. It is also difficult to get into.

You can’t just climb into from the water. We have to start near the pool ladder and climb in from there. It is vinyl, so I don’t expect getting more than a year or two out of it, if that, which makes this an expensive pool float.

For the price, though, I did expect better quality. Also, the item we received was different in color from the Walmart photo. On mine, the headboard and cooler cover are light blue not white. It does have two cup holders, one on each side of arm rest and the cooler is just under the foot rest.

One can easily put a six pack with ice into it without an issue. All in all, it’s a comfortable, fun pool lounger just not the quality I expected for the high price we paid.

I have a large pool . I love this couch i can relax in the pool and just lay back and watch clouds. It It is a large chair comfortable chair. It’s very durable well made to last. A great product.

I purchased this last year for my grandkids I have a pool in my backyard and within three days the seam on the inner part of the inner tube that floats on the water came apart and I tried to contact you people several times and no one would ever respond to me.

It came apart at the seam within 3 days and I even tried to send you pictures of this and I still have pictures of this. I would hope that you would stand behind this and reply to my request. My grandkids loved it and it was a lot of fun until it wouldn’t hold air.

Haven’t taken the Shark pool float out of the box yet. Saving it to be prepared for next season. Thought it would keep the sun off of me and my 3 year old granddaughter at the Lake. I was surprised to receive it so fast.

Service was great. Wish other companies were so well organized. Thank you.

I purchased the shark back in 2019. I love to float in it because I don’t get a sunburn. Also, everyone loves it for pictures. I finally had to get another because it had a hole. I had it for over 3 years and it held up great.

I write this as we await our 4th service call at 200. 00 a pop. WE thought we did our research and Hayward was the best for natural gas heating. The pool service company is saying this is all the do! They said always Go with Jandy, he won’t even install Hayward any longer because the warranty is terrible.

The factory and customer service is basically non existent. Now we are thousands in the hole and my pool is cold. IT dipped to 77 this weekend, doesn’t sound cold but I teach private swim lessons and that is too cold for little ones.

It has been problem after problem with this heater. Also, here is a tip: The W in front of the part number designates that it was bought on line and that will effect your warranty.

After hooking everything up, it would not kick on. I got it to fire up twice, but only for short time before shutting back off. Since I have lease gas I was told to buy the propane adapter kit and drill out holes a little larger to make it work with the lease gas.

I just tried that a couple days ago, after a month of trying other things…. still won’t work!! I have one more heating guys scheduled to come look at it, but I’ve now wasted well over a month of not being able heat my pool, and spent even more money on the conversion kit, and still have nothing to show for it.

Very frustrated and upset with this product!!.

This is a great product at a great price. I decided to buy an entire pool system. I saved a ton of money but guess what, no one will install because I didn’t buy it from them. I found one pool company that was willing but clearly I was being penalized because the price was through the roof.

So, I will do it myself except for the gas connection. When ordering items like these one gets a much shorter warrantee and the hassle of paying out those savings to a pool company for installation. I’m determined to get it done.

Here is an opportunity for someone to start an install only business and with the help of these online retailers, it is sorely needed. I recommend buying online but do be aware of installation difficulties.

Additionally, do inspect the equipment when it arrives since heavy freight is not easy in residential areas and everything I have ordered had damaged packaging in one way or another. Lucky for me the contents survived the rough handling.

That last mile is a problem for heavy, large items.

READ!! This shock is not made for OPENING pools in the spring where your pool is most likely going to be green and you have to do a heavy shock to kill off a large accumulated algae that builds up over winter months.

i have a 24 foot above ground pool and shocked it twice and it went from a dark green to a medium green. Once i actually read the components of the shock it all made sense that this shock is made for maintaining pools, NOT heavy shock at the beginning of the season.

LEASON LEARNED.

I didn’t believe the other reviews with horror stories about green pools. I figured it was probably due to other issues and those people were just blaming the shock. I have never had a problem with algae in my pool and I only used this shock as part of my normal maintenance.

We get a lot of rain here in Florida and after a week with a lot of rain I will use one bag of shock. I usually use Zappit brand sold my my local pool shop, but this was a significant savings. You get what you pay for.

Within 24 hours the pool was cloudy within 48 hours I had greenish brown stains everywhere. I took a water sample to my pool shop and I didn’t initially tell them anything so they would give me an honest opinion of the water condition.

They said the salt/chlorine levels, PH and stabilizer were all good and they wouldn’t recommend anything at the moment. I then told them about all of the green stains and that I had no problems until I used Sam’s shock.

They were incredulous and said they’d never heard of shock causing this. After a 1/2 gallon of acid, an algacide and twice daily brushing for 3 days, we seem to be to getting the problem under control.

Save yourself the grief and stay away from this shock.

Works very well, used it for a few years but due to COVID, got into using calcium hypochlorite type stuff, big mistake. After a complete cluster on opening this year, finally got the pool looking right by abandoning Calcium based shock and going back to this stuff.

The only downside is the incredible price rise over the last 2 years, way beyond what I would have expected even given our rampant inflation.

This thing did not last a day. As soon as we got it aired up we put it in the water and within an hour the large bottom started deflating. We could not find a hole anywhere to patch so we kept putting air in it and finally decided it was junk.

We took it out of the water and the next day the bottom part was totally flat and part of the middle section had torn away from the bottom section. It is total JUNK and I rarely feel like anything is a complete waste of money but trust me.

THIS IS!.

The kids, as well as the adults, love this. They have created so many ways to play basketball, especially jumping from the side of the pool with trick shots. Inflates very quickly. you cannot beat the price.

I’ve never had any luck with these. After buying twice I realized it wasn’t worth it. My kids love to play basketball in the pool but this one doesn’t last very long.

Definitely pay attention to which seller you are purchasing from. I saw it one day and decided to purchase it another day with one click. I thought the price had dropped, but instead it was a different seller with shipping costing as much as the pool.

After shipping and taxes it was not cheaper. Lesson learned and that is on me and not part of the rating. As for the rating, the pool looks nice. The instructions were complete and utterly useless. Thank you Jeep guy for making a video.

It is an oval pool and most of the instructions were for a round pool with a different filter. The insert for oval pool had more verbiage on warnings than it did on assembly. Still have a few filter parts I do no know what they are for or where they go.

The overall physical assembly was not difficult. After getting this thing assembled and filling it up, I am 95% sure it has a leak somewhere on the bottom of the liner. Water is pooling in one spot and should have dried up by now.

Your company is not customer friendly. I bought a Haywood 150btu I ground heater twoto three years ago. Heat exchanger did not last. Had to buy new heater. You sent wrong part for heat exchanger and had to send back.

They have new heat exchangers now with Haywood. I couldn’t even get a discount or price break on second heater I just purchased. Anyway, I tried to explain what happened. No good.

We added these hammocks to our collection of Kai Floating Luxuries floats and are very happy with them. This line of floats is excellent–workmanship, durability, comfort and value surpass all other brands we have tried.

Perhaps the most amazing feature is that they simply won’t fade or get moldy! We have a couple of floats that we left out all last summer and through the winter (we live in Central Florida)–they still look NEW–seriously, after being exposed to the sun, rain, and humidity for a year and they look as good as the ones we just received.

At last count we had 9 of these floats in various styles. I won’t buy anything else for our pool.

Can’t beat having a pool item made out of marine grade sunbrella fabric! Fading won’t be a problem for many years. Comfortable and fits many body sizes and heights. Body stays nice and cool while head and knees/feet are floating.

Dries quickly when hung as per manufacturers instructions. Just started using but if it becomes the popular item in the pool I will need to order more!.

I had one of these for at least 17 years, and there have been a couple of nicks in it, but it was fine and I liked it, but this year it cracked badly by the head rest, but again, it was well used and I’m still keeping it.

I wanted a new one and I believe this one is the same brand, but has a slight redesign. It’s a little thinner, which is fine, and the headrest is way more comfortable. It’s pricey, but I expect another 15 years out of it.

It allows just the right amount of water on the raft to keep you cool until you need to flip over. I think it’s an overall improvement from my old one.

Very poor QC. When I received the float the pillow crease was stuck/glued together and would not separate without ripping to bare foam. The quality of this TRC float was not as good as their cheaper Splash floats that we already have.

I wanted a replacement as opposed to a refund, but that was not an option on Amazon. I’m going to order this same 2” float and hope it is as good as what we normally get from TRC. If not, then we’ll return it too and see what other manufacturers are out there.

In the 90’s in the Tampa area. Ordered the Texas Rec Splash float for my pool. Not the easiest float to get on if you’re older or not too mobile and does have a chemical smell. I’ve used the float four days in a row and the smell is not going away.

Other than the smell, I recommend the Texas Rec Splash pool float but if you’re chemical sensitive you may not want this and I only recommend it if you get it at a good price. If it’s full retail you may want to get another float.

The chemical smell is that bothersome.

This is by far the best above ground pool I have ever owned or had ever been in! It’s massive! So to begin with it comes in 2 tall and heavy boxes (like 150lbs each) so you definitely need a dolly and preferably 1 or 2 other people helping assemble this, it takes a village am I right? Now for us the biggest and most important step was to prepare the yard (foundation).

We did this by finding the most level spot and then marked out the desired area, we decided that 24 foot by 40 foot area was what we wanted for our 16 foot by 32 foot pool. This would allow for more then enough room for the pool to be centered, and for room for the pool post and the water-filtration system to all fit in and be perfectly leveled and also so that it was more aesthetically appealing.

We then cut sod out of the lawn, leveling the ground and then laid a thick weed barrier down. We then laid down about 3 inches of masonry sand and leveled it to provide a optimal foundation for the pool.

You see we live in the south and our yard is made out of red clay that gets extremely hard or soft depending on the weather. So for us this will help sustain the life of the pool. Then once all that was done (which took several days) we then began to assemble the pool, which had taken me and my husband about 4 hours.

The pool had taken about 40 hours to fill with our water hose, and while it is filling we needed to pull the legs out so that they post were snug and to ensure they were level, this helped get out the wrinkles out at the bottom of the pool.

The entire process from start to had taken about 5 days along with alot of blood sweat and tears but it was a true labor of love! But remember we went above and beyond the instructions when setting up the pool, in all honestly you could have it set up and had it filled in about 2-3 days.

I’m a visual person and found the videos very helpful! The pool itself is made of high quality durable materials and I love how it comes with everything that is needed minus the water. It even comes with a pool cover!! Our family absolutely loves it and we love creating new memories together! We are looking forward to many more relaxing days floating and swimming during those hot summer days, but now we can also entertain our friends and family too!.

This pool is absolutely massive. It took a special truck to bring it in. It is also very heavy, so when you get it, it would help to put it near where it will be. It was surprisingly easy to put together, although it did take some time.

When it was assembled and when we were filling it up, the sides did lean in a lot which we were concerned about, but as it filled in the sides fixed themselves. The quality of this pool seems really good, it is holding up well so far.

However, there is an issue with the pump. The pump is not big enough for this pool. The pool is not filled up to the very top (so there’s not as much water in it as what is supposed to be) and still this pump cannot keep up.

It seriously needs a bigger pump to come with this. I found out after the fact that this is a common issue with this pool as well. It also came with a skimmer, a pool ladder, and a pool cover. The skimmer is long, but the net is small.

The cover is a pain in the butt to put on since the pool is so long, but it’s a cover. The pool ladder is easy to move around if you need to take it away to keep people from getting in the pool, however it comes at a sacrifice for quality.

It’s not very wide and feels super flimsy. We have to have someone at the bottom of the ladder supporting because it wobbles so much. Overall, I like the pool. The size is fantastic and allows for lots of people to get in.

However, you will probably need to replace the pump with a better one that can actually handle it. And bigger people may need to have extra support with the pool ladder, or replace that. The extra cost of a bigger pump on a pool that comes with one that is supposed to work but doesn’t is a big turn-off for some.

I was very excited that I finally got a pool for my kids who have been asking me forever. I got this shipped in two separate boxes. Very heavy Needed At least 4 people to get it to my backyard. Installation took more than two hours with 4 people.

The instruction book was easy. The setup says it takes 30min but I am not positive who does it. I felt that cleaning up and setting my yard was a bit difficult than settting up the pool. It took more than 20 hrs to fill this huge pool with our hose.

Wish I took a bigger hose. In takes around 13500 gallons of water. That’s a lot! The pool is very sturdy. My kids and my family are enjoying all the summer. We had to buy few things like net to clean up , solar heater to heat up the pool , ground cover while setup , I have to buy pool vaccum it’s a bit hard for me to clean up.

I love that it has got ladder to climb in and out. I felt the filter pump is a bit small for this huge pool. Overall I felt my kiddos are enjoying in the pool so the little bit of work is worth for their happiness.

they even have YouTube videos on how to setup. I would totally recommend it if your house has a big back yard and can give a bit of time for cleaning up.

This item was offered with a pump included which I purchased. During the first use of the pump it smoked and burnt out before the item was even inflated. Noticed they don’t offer the pump anymore so I’m assuming this isn’t the first time the pump was an issue.

We have had many rafts that last a month and then pop. They are used very hard at our pool, and great fun is had. When one pop, we always have another on hand. THE PIZZA RAFT LASTED ALL SUMMER. This is a great raft that is very durable.

I bought 4 more. And yes it popped at the end of the summer but it was used VERY hard. I would highly recommend this strong durable raft.

Yeah, that’s right, this order was a gift. Sometimes, people buy gifts for other people at DiscoverMyStore. During the holidays, I’m sure that this practice increases greatly. And while I hope that the recipient of my gift appreciates it and even likes it, I can’t imagine making the effort to contact that person to find out if they did indeed like it, just so I can write a review for you.

Sorry, but you’ll just to have rely on non-gift-related purchases for (most of) your reviews.

this pineapple floaty is superb!! it is big enough & sturdy enough for an adult to use! it has also endured 12 year olds playing in it!! we have used it in the pool for several months & it hasn’t even gotten low on air!! i read lots!!!!! of reviews before buying one & this one had tons of great reviews!! and they were right!! so glad I bought it!!! great purchase for adults & kids!! it has a large middle, so small kids can’t use it to actually “float” on, but they could play with it.

but it will certainly work for anyone over 5′!! i recommend for sure!!.

I bought this for lounging in the pool with friends. Everyone wanted to try it out. It’s comfortable to lay on top off or use as a tube. We even fit two people at a time. Hood quality product. Easy to inflate and deflate.

I like that it has two cup holders and a slot for a phone. The size is nice to hold me up (155lbs) and could do more. The middle part seems to lose air a little bit daily. I am refilling to keep firm.

The headrest and outer air circle ( 2 of the 3 places to put air) hold really well. For instance, I have not refilled them for two weeks.

We bought one two years ago after using a friends at the lake. Comfortable, durable, keeps you completely out of the water which is nice to prevent getting cold. Bought the first and it’s still going strong.

Looking to get another. I have purchased 2 of another “IN” -style Brand on a GIANT selling site. This one has more than outlasted. The other brand became stained and gross and I could never get it cleaned to satisfaction.

This is the best pool floatie Ive ever purchased. The price was extremely fair. The cup holders are a very nice feature and theres a small built in pocket for whatever waterproof item you choose to put in it.

Its very sturdy durable and has quite a bit of room. However, my favorite feature is the pillow design. Most floaties give me a horrible crick in my neck. The pillow design on this Soltice Sumo is slanted and extremely comfortable.

I simply could not be happier with my purchase. Absolutely recommend this product.

I was amazed to begin with by the pool pole being 20% thicker. It is still light, to carry, however, because it is made from anodized aluminum. It is built well, but not too heavy. It is extra long to get to where you need to work in the swimming pool.

It is a pro deluxe which makes it super nice. I love the plastic with the handle around it for storage and carrying. This keeps it clean. It adjusts easily, attaches easily to the rest of the pole as well as to the leaf screens, etc.

It is smooth, no way to get cut on it, also the gripper handle is just awesome. My favorite part of all, is the extra thickness to make it last much longer, but yet it is light to use in the pool being made from aluminum.

It is longer than the pole we previously had, so that makes it easier to reach further out in the pool and to the bottom to pick up leaves, dirt, etc. You can also make it shorter than the 15 feet, if you need it shorter, that is also a great feature as you can make it the length you need for the job.

I believe the 20 percent more thickness is the main reason I would recommend this pole to people over the other ones on the market. I would tell my friends, this pole is professional and 20 % thicker and will last much longer than the other poles.

I own multiple telescopic swimming poles. I have to say this is a great buy! It is strong, easily detachable and love how you can take it apart quickly on the spot as needed. Don’t get me wrong it is strong, but not rock strong.

I was going to use it to also help me move gigantic big rocks that accidentally fell to the bottom of my pool, but I could feel that it might buckle. I decided not to do this. I have a rock solid pole made by Stanley Commercial Grade and it is rock solid, problem is the middle locking area does not stay put and the pole does not stay in place.

I have been looking for another Stanley Commercial grade one and cannot find one.

It falls apart too fast! purchased one the end of last summer. Used hand full of times. stored under bed laying flat as it says to put in pool this summer about 2 weeks in it has cracks all through middle and where seam meets.

This definitely keeps you afloat, but don’t look to stay dry the entire time. I like to say that this float keeps you afloat, but underwater. If you are looking to stay above water at all times I would recommend a thicker flotation device like an inner tube.

These are the best floats. Never worry about losing air and going flat again. Use them for years and years. The only thing my last one wouldn’t hold up to was my new found dog. Chewed it to death.

Saw this in a plaice pool and our son wanted one. They work great and are fun and unique. This is our second as we left one behind once

TranslateShow in original languageLeuk speelgoed om onderwater plezier te hebben. Hou de Zoom-A-Ray onder water en zie hem glijden naar een andere persoon (of gewoon in het wilde weg). Kinderen zijn er gek van!.

TranslateShow in original languageik had eerst geen idee wat dit zou doen, maar het resultaat is leuk en onvoorspelbaar soms. Fijn om te proberen een doelwit te raken bvb.

The kids have waited weeks to use these because its been too cold but when they did they had a blast! These are made from really thick material so they won’t pop a hole quite as easily. The colors are vibrant and the kids were in thier own little world riding them around in the pool.

Definetly mom approved and recommend!!.

This thing is sturdier than houses in Florida. I weigh over 350 pound (yes i know I’m super fat, yes i love food. Yolo) and this thing has held up for over a month with me being in it 5 days a week. I’m extremely surprised this things hasn’t popped, definitely was preparing for that every time i hopped on it lmao.

Best 10 dollars I’ve ever spent.

Great quality but needs to be bigger. The quality is fantastic. But It’s good for young person that is 150 pounds but that is all. Also they need to put the loops on two corners of the float for ease of hanging.

This float was not what we were looking for. We are looking for an all foam float. The quality of the float was great with a great appearance just not what we wanted. We were looking for a float that basically stayed on the water and not dip in it.

We returned the floats and I had one of the best customer service rep experience that I have encountered. We worked with Lynne Pradella and she was first class! Helped up with all our questions and she was very quick with a response! She gets 5 stars!.

This is the best! I have fallen asleep in this float several times. We first encountered them at a Sandals resort and ordered a pair for our pool as soon as we returned home. They are great floatation devices with just the right amount of buoyancy for my 235 lb body.

My wife who weighs half that enjoys hers just as much. they are easy to get in and out of, dry quickly out of the water, and are light weight and easy to store. They aren’t cheap, but the life expectancy should make them a bargain over cheaper pool toys.

Awesome pool float! Our granddaughter and family love the float and are using it heavily! It’s in constant use. Hesitated buying “still one more pool item” but so glad I did as it has turned out to be a favorite.

Highly recommend!.

Unfortunately it did not hold air from the start. Blew it up in the morning for an afternoon party and it would not hold air. Never got to use it.

Another great invention that is loved by all! Such a great floating device that can be shared.
