12 ft x 36 in Round Inflatable Above Ground Pool - Quick Top Ring

In this review the Funsicle Quickset 12 ft x 36 in round inflatable pool is judged as a straightforward, family-friendly backyard option that makes warm days more tolerable. The single biggest reason to buy is its simple top ring setup: inflate the ring and watch the pool rise as it fills, which means little fuss and minimal tools for a ready-to-use pool. For families with children ages 6 and up or small groups of friends, this pool delivers easy installation and usable play space without the complexity of permanent installs.

Key Features

• Quick set top ring: Inflating the top ring lets the pool lift itself as water is added, so setup is fast and can be handled by one or two people.
• 12 ft by 36 in size: The round footprint is spacious enough for up to six people, giving both kids and adults a place to relax or play in a typical backyard.
• 3-ply ToughMesh material: Reinforced walls resist punctures and increase durability so the pool can be used for multiple seasons with proper care.
• Included RX600 filter pump: The 110 to 120-volt pump with GFCI and Type D cartridge helps keep the water circulating and cleaner with routine maintenance.
• Repair patch and warranty: A repair patch comes with the pool for small accidents, and a 1-year manufacturer warranty covers the pool and pump for added peace of mind.

Who It's For

The Funsicle Quickset pool is best for families with children age 6 and older and homeowners who want a temporary, easy-to-install backyard pool for cooling off and casual play. It is suited to yards that can accommodate a 12 ft diameter and owners who prefer an inflatable solution over a more permanent frame or steel pool.

Those who need a very large pool for frequent adult lap swimming or who expect heavy-duty commercial use should look elsewhere, since this model is designed primarily for recreational family use and seasonal backyard fun rather than intensive athletic or public pool applications.
