Hi I own a splash pool! These pools are so expensive because they are made to last! Mine was not bought new & I am having so many problems out of it. I talked to a splash representive today & they sell reconditioned pools that are quite a few dollars less. My pool was around $7000 a few yrs ago now $5,000 but you can get a perfectly good reconditioned pool from them the same size 13X25.5x4ft for $1,500 with a good warrenty.
The cheap knock off are exactly that a cheap knockoff, Intex even makes these pools now. The splash foot blox is a wonderful add on instead of using patio bricks as one of my legs on corner slid off
Hope this helps you!!!!!!!!!
Good Luck,
Nancy
