Does the pool "spray" constantly, or can you turn this feature off without compromising the use of the pool? I have come across some pools where the hose must be attached constantly (thus the spray is constant), otherwise it "deflates". Thank you in...

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.

It does not need to pump constantly, you just blow it up and it's done (you'll need to refill it every day or so though if you leave it inflated). The hose in the pictures is connect to the rainbow and is to provide water for the spray thing that is in the center of the rainbow.

If left to its own, it will recoil---but perhaps not all the way back. I have a post with a simple hook onit for the Nozzle where I hook it and know where it is always is going to be. One must have a shutoffvalve near the nozzle as well as the main supply as you should not keep the hose full of water whennot in use.

I have the same problem as the others here. I have to use a still-son wrench to get mine off. I have applied pool lubricate to the lid but it has not helped. It would be interesting to have the manufacture respond to this problem on this forum. How about it Amazon?

my grandson loves this pool. made very well. do not have to use sprayer if you don't want. can't remember for sure, but think the slide is attached.

Jeffrey's suggestion is best. Anytime I had a leak it was always because the lid had been screwed on incorrectly. Gets tricky sometimes. If you just can't get it to quit, I'd suggest catching the water so you can just pour the "leaked" water right back into the pool.

I didn't look when I got it. I have used it for couple months now with no problems. Even had construction people working on my house use it and they have not managed make it leak or fail. The trick is to not leave water in the hose after use. Empty and put away. I have a very small basket under the hose nozzle where it is stored when empty of water and water pressure. Works great, stores in a very small place, and I believe this hose type will take over the market for home use.

It's a battle. My hose keeps splitting and I have to continually untangle so that it will work the pool. It does a great job when working properly. Try to make sure you connectors rotate freely!

Had our pool since 1985. I'm no expert but... your hose should pivot freely where it attaches to the creepy. Also I've found that the hose has memory. So if you leave it twisted for very long it will want to return to the twist shortly after you straighten it out. Sometimes it helps to straighten it out and let it lay straight on the deck for a day or two. Another thing I try is to twist or reposition the hose at the various joints.

I use mine in my pool also. I do not have a problem. It only goes in the pool when in use and is stored in our screen porch which is well lite and ventilated.

I truly had no trouble inflating mine...just opened the valve and blew into it. If & WHEN you do get it operationaldon't inflate it until it's taut. Leave it a bit limp. We have gotten 2 summers out of our 6, and they're still going into the pool again this summer. Good luck! If it's still not inflating, send it back...I'm sure the seller will want to know it's not working.

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.

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.

Sounds like a question for Dr Drew...but I'll give it a go. Here's what I'd test....Put a bit of WATER in the container and assemble everything, then pump the handle just a FEW times. Then SLOWLY unscrew where the hose connects to the container, does air escape? If not, then either there's an issue with THAT seal, there's an issue with the pump:container seal, or there's an issue with the pump itself. If air does escape, then screw it back on and pump it once. Then unscrew the spray nozzle tip all the way and pull the trigger, does air/water escape? If so, then there was an issue with the nozzle being too tight. If not, then the tube or nozzle are likely clogged and then take an air car with the little included hose and open the trigger then spray the air into the tube to clean out the system, then from the nozzle side. Does this fix it?

that is funny, when I first hooked it up, I had to leave and when I came home, the pool was down 3 inches, It was spraying over fence, 15' away. Yes it will spray 10 to 15" in the air, play with it, I had to turn mine way down, I love it.

If it causes enough water movement at the surface of the pool, it may set it off. I have never had any problems with false alarms, with wind or anything that caused water movement at the surface, but if it's substantial, then it may go off.

I hose mine off every now and then. Just let it run a few minutes after to dry itself off. Never had a problem with mine.
