The Intex Aquarium Pool turns a garden into an underwater scene. Its walls are see-through and printed all around with fish, turtles, an octopus, a starfish and swaying coral, so a child sitting inside looks like they are right in the middle of an aquarium. Fill it up and the printed sea life seems to float around them.

Because the walls are clear, this pool is as much fun to look at as it is to sit in. Children can watch the printed fish through the water from the outside, and the bright underwater theme keeps toddlers and older kids interested far longer than a plain blue tub.

It is built from thick 12-gauge vinyl, which at 0.30 mm is the sturdiest material in this pool range, over a soft inflatable floor. The wall stands a deep 22 inches, and a drain plug is fitted so you can run the water out through a hose instead of tipping the whole pool.

Filled to the 16 inch guide it holds about 95 gallons, equal to 360 litres, which is a generous amount for a round kids pool. The walls are deep enough that even an adult can sit and lounge in it, though it is designed first as a children's pool for supervised play.

The inflated size is 60 x 22 inches, which is 1.52 m x 56 cm, or about 5 x 1.8 ft. It is a seasonal pool that needs a flat surface and a separate pump to inflate. The Intex Aquarium Pool price in Pakistan is Rs. 11,500, and a repair patch is included for the odd nick.
