Hello, I purchsed a few of these pools recently and I want to use one for a ball pit. For those of you who use this pool as a ball pit how many balls do you think I need to purchase?

I didnt buy any extra balls other then the like 20 i had from my other ball pit. it just depends on how many balls you want for the pool, id think 2-300 would be good. but idk

As a matter of fact, I purchased this originally as a ball pit for my son. 200 balls fills it up about half way. 300 may be a little more than what you need, but it should fill it up near the top if you do. I didn't go higher than 200 because of the nature of what kids will do in it, displacement is inevitable.

I bought this same pool last summer and have 3 dogs that like to climb all over it while we are swimming. I have had no holes in my pool yet. I love mine! I recommend buying a different pump because the one that comes with it is real small. I bought the Intex sand filter. I put sand in it last year and it is still working great. With a cartridge filter you will be changing it every couple of weeks.

Hello. The "pool" area is not deep enough to add balls. It's more like a slip and slide.

The blower pump must be running when the ball pit is in use. When not in use, the ball pit & blower pump(not including the balls) can be packed away loosely into a 20"x15"x15" box, or a large size storage bin. The ball pit was designed for 3~4 small toddlers. Please make sure you order 1000 pcs of the larger 3" crush-proof balls which will be ideal for the ball pit. Please check Amazon listing: 1000 pcs Crush-Proof Phthalate Free non-PVC Plastic Ball Pit Balls in 5 Colors - 3.1" Air-Filled - Guaranteed Crush-Proof or Your Money Back (for Home Use Only) . However, if you are buying the smaller 2.5" balls, you would need about 2000 pcs instead and would cost you much more money. The blower pump must be running when the ball pit is in use.

This picture has one less rung than ours but we put 1000 in ours for our 3 year old. You could use less depending on your child's size. Mine is tall so we had to have depth to avoid hotti the bottom. We bought balls at Wal-Mart for I think $10 per hundred.

Jacqueline, I used Zeolite instead of sand and the only problem I had was some kept settling in the pool for several weeks after installation. It's been two years, no more settlement, and it filters better than sand(It's possible I may have put too much in to begin with). I can't remember how many sacks of Zeolite I used but it was less than the amount of sand required. Rodney Constant

200 Is A Great Amount For One of The Small Size Plastic Pools (One That Is About 3 - 4 Feet Across)Anything Bigger And You Will Most Likely Want More Balls. We Had 200 In A Small Plastic Pool, Kids 1 - 7 Coul Run And Jump In With Out Knocking Many Balls out

In my opinion for a playpen, 200 would be enough for a 1-3yr old. However, to make it more fun and really fill up the playpen, I would maybe get two sets. The balls get tossed around and maybe a few misplaced. My son is obsessed with balls right now so balls get taken in the car, to the grandparents or left behind in the yard etc. We have only had 1 set and they are still enough for now and going strong. If we were to have another party I would order a 2nd set to really fill up my sons pool.

No you just get one. I ordered 2 and it was not enough for our in ground pool. It would be enough for above ground pool 12 or 15 foot ones. one for spa hope this helps. I do enjoy them though just wish I had gotten more.

To be honest I only purchased an additional 100 and it was no where near full. I asked the kids if they would prefer to have it full or a small amount of balls? They said that it would not be able to fit everyone in if there were a lot of balls.

No! definitely not. I have four hundred and they just line the bottom. I would 1K if you want the real ball-pit experience.

No balls are included. We bought a set of 200 balls and while it basically only covers the bottom of the pit our 2 kids LOVE it!

No it would be 1 layer of balls , side walls are fairly high, I put in 300... You might be better off with 200 tho , it will save your back when you have to pick up all the balls ...lol. To be honest my 2 yo twins throw the balls out so they can just jump.

This is very nice, I purchased only one to see how I liked it, however even though I would love to have three in my pool, I didn't get anymore as our spa waterfall creates a current in the pool so consequently it always ends up against the side at the far end of the pool. In the end I just put it in the spa and it's very pretty there! I would suggest maybe you'd like to get one and see how it works in your pool and a sense of its relative size. Hope this helps!

If you want the entire pool well lit I think you would end up needing two. I like the light given off by my single light but I never expected to actually light all the walls of my pool- I like just having enough light to feel safe and for it to look cool at night. I might suggest you buy one at a time and see for yourself but my hunch is you will be happier with 2...

We have about 900 of them in ours for our son. It works great, only that the balls come out the door when he gets out, he is 16 months old. Order at least 600+ balls for it, we had to order twice, 900 is a lot but a good fit. We have had it for about 6 months, no holes, no issues. Then again, our son is only 30 lbs.

No, I had to purchase two 200 packs from Toy R Us the day of party for the pool without water to fill up the pool. I only used 300 balls for 5 kids but my son by himself I use 500 balls to cover the bottom plus extras. 200 balls are at least to cover the bottom and few to play with in the pool.
