pools

[kassidy62]

Intex Easy Set pools - just sos you know, I hates them. First we bought one that looks like the bladder of a whale (which right there, we should have known would be nothing but trouble):

IT'S A PARTY! SEE?

Well, we bought soil and we leveled the area so the Great Whale Bladder could be balanced. But, we're incompetent, so the Great Whale Bladder sagged ridiculously. But the kids didn't care. So then we drained the Great Whale Bladder and tried leveling again, with more success. Again we fill the Cursed Bladder. But hey, there's a hole in it! And the Bladder From Hell drains all over our yard overnight (piss on us). And then we can't find the hole in the Great Fucking Bladder (we tried, oh how we tried). And we are Spectacular Moronovitches and so had thrown away the box and receipt, etc.

So.

We go buy another, NOT a Bladder:


only, it's smaller than that. But anyway. So it's looking good and it's no bladder, right? Came with a pool cover and filter, etc.

And then this morning it's down about 5 inches.

A reasoned response doesn't include taking a knife to it, right?

RIGHT???

Which is why my daughter will have to suffer with one of those little plastic things that you throw out every year. Because I refuse to deal. Absolutely refuse.

Uh...and yeah, you probably shouldn't take a knife to it. Um. Probably not. Although I can understand the temptation.

We had one like this when I was a kid, and I'm assuming in the ensuing decades years since they've gotten better ... if it's hot and if you left the cover off, evaporation might account for the loss? Or if you guys used it, simple splashage, which in a smallis pool can account for a lot more than one would think?

(I'm just trying to be hopeful that it's not an actual leak)
