Buying guide

Only one product is listed here — the Green Lion Inflatable Big Swimming Pool - Blue — so the decision is about details, not comparisons. Start with space: a big pool needs a flat, pebble-free surface with a clear strip around the rim so children can climb in and out.

Check what comes in the box before you pay: whether a pump, a storage bag and a repair patch are included. A big pool holds a lot of air, so a weak hand pump turns setup into an hour of work. Pump power matters too: household sockets are Type G with three pins at 230 V, so confirm the pump is rated for local mains.

Under UAE summer sun of 45–50 °C, water heats within hours, so fill in the evening, keep it shaded, and drain it the same day. Never leave water standing for days — warm, still water is a breeding ground for bacteria. If it stays filled, use a cover and a liner-safe treatment.

Safety comes first: an inflatable pool needs constant adult supervision, and check the air rings and seams before every use. Wipe and dry the liner before packing it away, or yellow stains follow.

Delivery takes one to two business days, flat 12 AED under 150 AED and free at 150 AED and above, payable by card, Tabby, Tamara or cash on delivery. Returns run seven days from receipt, with the return shipping usually yours — worth weighing for a bulky pool.

Frequently asked questions

Is a pump included, and do I need an electric one?

Check the product page before you order, because what ships in the box varies. A pool this size holds a great deal of air, so a hand pump turns setup into an hour of pumping and an electric pump is far kinder. If it runs on mains, remember that UAE sockets are Type G with three pins at 230 V — confirm the pump's plug type and wattage are suitable for local supply before you plug it in outdoors.

How do I stop the water turning into a hot tub in the UAE summer?

Under 45–50 °C with strong sun, the water reaches uncomfortable temperatures within a couple of hours. Fill the pool in the evening or early morning, keep it under a parasol or shade cover where possible, and drain it the same day or the next morning. Never leave water in the pool for days on end: warm, still water is a breeding ground for bacteria, and it also puts pressure on the liner. A cover helps both with heat and with leaves and dust.

What makes an inflatable pool safe for children?

Three things: constant supervision by an adult, a ground surface free of grit, stones and sharp edges, and a sound pool. Check the air rings, the seams and the valve before every session, keep glass and metal away from the water, and follow the manufacturer's guidance on how many children the pool is sized for. Never leave a child alone in the water, even for a minute, and empty the pool once play is over.

How do I store it when the season is over?

Drain it completely, dry the liner and the floor of the pool, then let the air out and fold it loosely into the storage bag. Storing it folded and damp is what causes yellow stains and trapped smells, and folding sharply along the same creases can split the seams. Keep it indoors rather than in a car boot: 45–50 °C summer heat degrades rubber and PVC over a single season. Patch small punctures with the repair kit rather than replacing the whole pool.
