            Far too many backyard pool drownings to suggest that people will supervise them - it can happen so quickly.

            Having said that, if you don't have kids, i'm not sure if there's been an incident where someone has broken in/jumped the fence and had a swim and drowned. I know the law is clear on this, but i'm not sure I fully agree that it's fair. (Assuming the backyard itself is fenced off and not open access etc)

          The side walls can be claimed as a barrier. I'm not sure about removing the ladder though. We have an above ground spa which is 1.3m tall and only needed to fence around the steps into the spa as they are permanent. The rest of the spa is unfenced as it is over 1.2m

            @chiprillis: Pool fence gates need to be auto closing so the safety doesn’t rely on a human remembering to close it.

            The same applies for ladders. If someone is manually removing it, it can be forgotten.

          • Cheapkiwi on 07/11/2021 - 10:10

            @chiprillis: (NSW) Spa Pools (https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/housing-and-property/buil…)

            "If your spa pool does not have a securely fastened, child-resistant structure (such as a door, lid, grille or mesh) preventing access to the spa when not in use, you must install a fence to prevent access to the spa area."

            No mention of heights re your 1.2/1.3 comment, I hope you're covered - guess I'll be looking for a spa with lockable lid.

            • lancesta on 07/11/2021 - 10:39

              @Cheapkiwi: Unsure if it'd count as a spa, but thanks for passing that link on.

              If it was tossed into the corner of your yard, you might get away with only needing fences on two sides.

              Also looks like the fence may only need to comply with standards not be certified, so with access to the standard, might be able to whip something compliant up that isn't overly costly. Still doubles the cost of the pool regardless.

            • Rumbaar on 07/11/2021 - 16:11

              @Cheapkiwi: An above ground pool of 1.2m+ height can have its sides form part of the fencing. You just need to ensure nothing is within 900mm of the edge that can be climable, like the filter.

              STEP 6 of the following document: https://www.vba.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/99218…

    I've got this exact pool. Hit me up with any questions.

    Pool is fantastic for the price. Filter is absolute garbage however. Get an after market one.
    The ladder is study enough to hold me getting in and out (I'm 120kg), so no dramas there either.

    Ours comes down at end of summer, and this will be our 4th summer with it. No holes, no durability issues.

    Under $500 is a steal… go get it! I got this for mid $600's on Ebay, then delivery was like $100 on top (it's bloody heavy!).

      • UFO on 06/11/2021 - 19:41

        I've had pools my whole life (above ground and inground). I got a proper cartridge filtration system from Zodiac. Worth more than the pool, but I figure I'll use it for the eventual inground pool we get when money permits. I plumbed it in using proper pressure pipes etc. that I made detachable to allow easy dismantling end of season.

      • Rumbaar on 07/11/2021 - 16:13

        I'd go with a Sand Filter and the Polystrene 'sand' replacement. Around $260 but better flow, and no need for regular filter replacement and will allow the usage of things like solar mats and suction skimmers that the default filter will not be able to power.

    • RED27APPLE on 06/11/2021 - 19:40

      Which filter do you recommend?

      • UFO on 06/11/2021 - 19:48
        +17

        I went overboard and got a filtration system that would suit a pool almost twice the size, but I strongly recommend for this type of pool you go for a cartridge filter and not a sand filter. Cartridges will filter the water to smaller micron level, and are easy to wash out with the hose. Sand filters on backwash use a tonne more water, and by nature don't filter the water to the same level unless you get a bigger system. But then you have to buy sand, backwash etc. So much harder to use in a temporary setup.

        For reference I went for a Zodiac ZTS100 pool pump, and a Zodiac Titan CF100 cartridge filter.

        This isn't a straight fit, and requires re-cutting the inlet and outlet holes in the pool itself. But like I said, prior experience and all.

        If this sounds too much for some, for the size of this pool and the price of water these days… flushing it and starting again mid season won't cost very much at all and is a an easier option.

        $4 per 1000L, 4 x 8,000L = $32.

        So if you know this is just going to be a kick around until something better goes in, just chlorinate and use a gravity fed hose to suck the floor clean.

        • Rumbaar on 07/11/2021 - 16:16

          Yeah, Sand Filter + Polysphere replacement to the usage of "Sand" is a better way to go. You don't need to backwash or a tonne for extra water, and do a lot better than the filters for long term use.

        I have a designated pool area. Signs, fencing etc. because it's going to be an in-ground pool in the near future and I know I can reuse the components.
        First bought it when my kids were still learning to swim, so wanted to make sure a) it wasn't too deep for them to stand in, and b) they had no access to it unless "authorised".

        • montorola on 06/11/2021 - 21:58

          Dumb question but if I don't have any kids, can I just keep the pool on my property which is fully fenced? Does that count or do I actually need another fence inside the property fence?

            @montorola: It’s possible with side gates, self closing and self latching gates/doors on the house, latch mechanisms at a particular height, etc. Windows may need to be made inoperable (not simply locked). You might find yourself stuck in a catch-22 between building code and pool code, latch height and opening windows for example. May vary by council.

            @montorola: Even if you don't have any kids, if they can enter your property from an external boundary and then something bad happens (like they are trying to get a ball or pet out of the pool or something), you'll be in a world of hurt.

            It's not just your family safety, its others too.

            I would never recommend you have a pool without a fence. But I do understand that to some it appears to be overkill for an above ground temporary pool like this.

            At bare minimum, you can remove the ladder (or put the whole thing In the pool) and make sure there's nothing little ones can use to get into the pool (like nearby chairs etc).

            This doesn't satisfy the law, but some basic precautions like making it difficult to enter the back yard by locking access to it, and then entering the pool itself by removing the ability to get in, at least does 'something'.

            If you're planning on having a pool medium/long term however, just get a fence. Also don't forget about windows and doors accessing the pool area. There are restrictions to those openings as well.

              @UFO: Its overkill as you have to account for the lowest common denominator.

              Almost all jurisdictions have really tough rules as to what you can and cant do. Without fencing where I am all I can have is a 30cm wading pool (which I have for the dogs on a hot day). That said, a toddler can drown even in 30cm.

      How easy is it to pack away? And how much space does it take when packed up?

        Tool-less install and pack away. It has to be to be classed as a temporary pool. The first time you do it does take longer, but everything is labelled.

        It's very straight forward. Two short pipe sections (2 piece) for the short sides that click together, two longer pipe sections (3 pieces) that go along the long walls.
        The pool itself has sleaves at the top that these pipes slide in to. And the corners just slot in.
        Draining it there's a drain plug.

          I store mine in the garage on some shelving, and the ladder and pipe frame sections go up in the roof cavity out of the way. The pool bladder on its own folds up to about 1m x 70cm x 20cm. Sits on a garage shelf off the ground.

        Make sure it is dry, otherwise can go mouldy.

          Yep. I plan ahead knowing there's a few dry days coming. Drain the pool then use deck chairs/outdoor setting to lift the pool and ensure it gets nice and dry in the sun.

      I have no intention of getting the pool, but your comments have been super helpful to everyone. Thank you.

      The real MVP! Love good reviews like this

      My yard is not flat and slopes (slightly). Would this be ok you think?

      • Logical on 06/11/2021 - 22:27

        Prepare a flat base, otherwise it will be 1.2m deep on one end and 0.8m deep the other end

      • jingsu6688 on 06/11/2021 - 23:09

        It may flood.

        MUST be dead level. Even a small slope will play havoc with the pool water level. Otherwise you'll have a much shallower pool at one end (plus it'll look crap).
        Take the time to prepare the site properly prior to install, otherwise you'll regret it.

      How do you clean, vacuum it etc

        • UFO on 07/11/2021 - 07:32

          I bought something similar to this on Ebay (obviously much more inferior/cheaper). These handheld vacs seem like a great idea, but you need to ensure they quote specs on filtration level. Otherwise what will happen (it happened to me) is that it'll pick up the dirt and larger junk, but the fine particles will just get picked up and spat out the outlet, clouding the water.

          It's a very small floor area. If you don't want to go to the expense of a proper cartridge filter, what you can do is gently and slowly use a soft bristled brush to slowly push the dirt and leaves down to one end of the pool floor, then use a gravity fed hose to suck/drain the dirty water out as you vacuum.

          A $30 leave scoop from bunnings will handle the bigger stuff no problem.

          • UFO on 07/11/2021 - 10:11

            @UFO: The main thing with the handheld is unless it has a paper/woven filter for really fine particles (in which case it needs mains power to be able to suck the water through it), these handhelds are basically useless.

            Most of these handhelds have a mesh filter bag. It's fine for larger bits like bugs, leaves, twigs etc. But is absolutely horrible at vacuuming up that fine dust you get at the bottom when the chlorine breaks down all the junk in the water itself and it settles to the bottom. Just goes straight through the mesh and makes a mess of the pool water. Demoralising when trying to clean the pool!

      Where do you place it? I would be reluctant to have it on grass which would kill it.
