First off, the first year ...

First off, the first year we had ours, we blew it up by mouth, unless you have asthma or emphesyma, this shouldn't really be that hard. I've had pool floats that require more air. The 2nd & 3rd year we used our [$] zark Trail electric air mattress pump to fill our ring. [...] It is literally a huge bag that you fill with water. Regarding the comment about the water not filling the pool evenly... that means you didn't put the pool on LEVEL ground. You have to put ANY pool on a level surface and the angle of your backyard is not exactly a pool manufacturer's fault. [...] It seems as though the reviewers of this item were expecting an olympic quality pool for less than [$]. This is the first year I've had the printed pool, but we've had the smaller 8 ft size Intex pool for the past 4 years. My first pool AND pump is still in great condition, we just wanted to upsize. If you take care of your pool & follow the instructions, you shouldn't have a problem!
