The hose does not need to be attached all the time and when it is attached, there is a valve that allows you to control how much water sprays out the sides. We absolutely love this pool and had a great time with it this summer!

You don't have to keep the hose going. It will stay inflated. It really is a terrific pool at a great price.

We turn it off when we don't want it to spray. In fact we have it off more often than on when the kids are in the pool.

You can turn it off! Or adjust the pressure to make it very subtle. But yes, you can turn it off separately.

The "little" pool part stays full, the other, bigger part also stays full but has a spray and needs the hose hooked up for the spray to work.

You should be able to turn the spray on or off and at the level you want, and with the hose in the connector or not. Even if you have the hose in the connector, you don't have to have it on to keep the pool inflated. It will stay inflated regardless, I love this pool personally, but like any inflatable pool, you have to re-inflate it in the morning. But it is totally worth the buy if you have small children or will have small children around.

I never had an issue with the hose getting coiled up. I added the twister to keep the cleaner from getting stuck in the corners of my Fiberglass pool near the steps. The cleaner still gets stuck every once in awhile by the steps, but only for a few minutes with the twister.

I am in the midst of a remodel, and the showerhead has not yet been mounted. However, it looks to me like it has five spray settings, one of which is "trickle". . . i am assuming that means that this is the setting that would be closest to "off", but believe it does not have an "off"switch or setting on it. I am not sure this is helpful to you, but - well, it is all i can offer. sorry.

A long one. I bought another hose as long as the one that came with it and put them together and there was no difference in the spray. My house is three and half a stories on a hill and I was all the way to the top with the two hoses coupled with no problem at all. This machine worked very well for me. One tip though, I bought the extended prayer tip and that was really necessary allows you not to move the ladder nearly as often.

You blow up the pool and then detach. My nephew blows it up with an electric pump, the wet/dry vac-it has a reverse switch or his air compressor, which ever is handy. My nephew deflates it at the end of each day, by reversing the blower and it deflates quickly, wipe it dry and we store it in a plastic bin with all the balls we put in the pool. Both inflating and deflating take very little time. The kids and adults love it! The neighbors are very jealous!

Hi. I am having the exact same problem. The instructions indicate that this pressure valve will stop spraying once the system "pressurizes" -- but, that time never comes. I won't be able to use this product because of this . . . anyone?

I have had good luck by adjusting the direction of flow of the water on the valve on the side of the pool where the water comes out to circulate the water in the pool (I'm sorry, I can't think of the "technical" name for that valve at this time. Sometimes adjusting the angle of the flow lower, towards the bottom of the pool helps, but it is something you will need to play with to see what works for your particular size pool. Then, of course, anytime you take your hoses out of the water, it is also very important to keep the hose in a straight line, not in a pile. But the first suggestion is what always fixed my tangling issue.

Mine is still working but not 100%. It can get stuck but I bet that happens to all of them. To me the hoses are worth the price I paid for it and the fact that it does 75% of the pool relatively well makes it a good investment any ways. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for.

If you look at the picture you"ll notice the string runs around the whole bottom of the pool. You put one end through the holes. It ties at one end. The string does stretch. When you remove it just pull it up. No need to untie it. Hope this helps. You may need to put an inflated object in the center underneath. When it rains the top fills with some water. But still it's pretty good.

Yes, it comes with the hose you'll need to connect it up to your pool. I've had mine for about a year now and it's working fine. Haven't had any problems with it.

Hi! Ballpit is removable but the slide is attached to the pool(separate chamber to inflate though). To use the sprayer, you need to attach a hose to the pool so, yes, you can use the pool without using the sprayer. Vinyl quality is good, it stays inflated but, you need to be careful were you place the pool because with the kids jumping and playing in the pool, if there is a little rock under the pool, it could perforate the vinyl. Great product! The kids love it!

I leave it in the pool all the time except for when my grand kids are in pool. I would think you can turn it off and store it without damage.

join the club! I've spent a lot of time trying to figure that out and I never did. I cleaned all the hoses and the heater. I even replaced the pump, but it still does not spray. I had only used it twice and cleaned it well before storing.

Good Afternoon Mr. FisherThank you for your interest in our product. The item that you are inquiring about is designed to accomplish three things. The first is to retain the heat, secondly, increase the water temperature, and lastly to prevent water evaporation. It is recommended that the cover remains on the pool any time that it is not in use. The instance in which the cover should not remain on the pool is when chemicals have been added to prevent deterioration of the items integrity.

Yes, a water hose must be attached and if you want the water spray on slide and walls of pool area the water must be running from the hose. It does not recycle the water, sadly. Must add though, I have 5, 3 and 1 year olds and they all love this thing. I let the pool fill up enough to make it fun and then shut the water off. They forget about the water spray by then and are having a BLAST!!! ;-)

Dear Sheila,In order for the sprayers to continuously run with water, your garden hose will need to remain attached throughout the duration of use. The water collected in the pool area does not recirculate.Sincerely,Blast Zone Support

Also, I don't think it has been mentioned, but give this thing a couple HOURS to clean the whole pool. If you are just watching it work for 10 minutes... it might not consistently get from one end of the pool to the other. It works in a sort of pseudorandom way. Aside from what's already been posted, you may have a broken unit.
