It came in a tube. I squeezed a small pea-sized amount, placing it on my forehead and under around my eyes. I saw a tad bit of plumpness. I think, I was expecting more. I used it for about 2 months. I have not noticed a significant difference.

I have not used a full tank yet in the month I've had it..course that would depend if you have it on high and how often you use it...

One year we had a pump. It was completely useless and brings the price of what I think of a "disposable" pool way up. This summer we got the one without the pump. It's the same deal. We keep it covered, add chlorine every day, and use a skimmer. We empty it and refill it every week or two. It has stayed pretty clean so far and it gets used on a regular basis. Our dog even likes to play in it. Hope this was helpful. :-D

I buy the larger size, and use one pump (a pea-sized dab) in the am and in the pm. I get about 6 months usage. That being said, I agree with another reviewer who misses the transparent packaging as I now cannot tell when it is getting low!

It really depends on the length of the burst that you use. We tend to use a two or three second burst every five minutes, and the tank lasts a LONG time. We have been running it for several hours every other weekend for the past several months, and it's just now below half full...

There's two of us and we use it daily. The flow will start to diminish, go this way for a while, and then stop totally. When you see it diminish, order another as this will go on for several weeks or less. We've had ours for 3 years now and it has typically lasted 12 months. Hope this helps.

I think it's supposed to be two months or 200 gallons, whichever comes first, the "whichever comes first" being the key statement. I change mine every two months, even though I know I don't use anywhere near the 200 gallons at that point. Less than $7 per month for filtered water is worth it to me. I think it needs to be changed that often as leaving it in longer may cause things to grow in it. I just don't take the chance and change it every two months, regardless of the fact that it probably hasn't had 50 gallons run through it at that point.

One pump, it does not last long at all because the bottle is not full & it is over price for the amount u get.

I have to be honest and say that I don't know for sure I have used it on several occasion for 2 weeks straight as follow1._ Make sure I have a full charge2._ Fill up the bed.3._ Then as needed refill the bed. (The battery was good for the 2 weeks period)I never had to inflate and deflate the bed on a daily basis and can't say how long the pump will last under those conditions

On 2 liter flow it last 8 hrs. Less for 3 and more for 1. I believe I did pay at least $320

I use an old hand pump you can buy anywhere to inflate like an air mattress. That or an air compressor. I have used it 5 weekends now, still going strong. Love it.

I could never find the shorty filters, so I sucked it up and bought the larger pump / filtration unit. I buy the filters OFF season and stock them in my shop until pool time. Several people said the filters are made to be cleaned and re-used. I've never had any luck with that, so longer life from filters IS saving me money. We run ours 24 / 7 too.

I have had two of these pumps. The first lasted about three years, but it probably ran 15 hours per day. Les K.

It is not self inflating so yes you do need to buy a pump. But i will say it's been about a month in a half to 2 months and it is still inflated. The last one i bout lasted a couple days.

max flo I read had a built in timer, this one doesn't, it is a 220v only and I had to have an electrician wire it also I bought an external timer. I love this pump already saved $50.00 in the first month plus I got a $200. back rebate takes about 6 to 8 weeks Hayward is on the list for the $200.00 cash rebate so are the pentar but you have to make sure that model is on the list as well. I live in MA but google pool pump rebates and your state should come up you can copy and paste this link https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1CHHZ_enUS531US532&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=rebates+pool+pumps

I have the same question, this pump cost a little more than the Max-Flo and w/o a timer. But I guess mainly, is it a better pump?

The pump must be purchased separately. However, you can just measure out the amount needed. You don't really need a pump.
