20 Best Gift For Pool Owners (2022 Updated)

OMG, where has this type of float been all my life. This float is so easy to inflate and deflate, it’s a must have. It holds up great, even in ocean waves. It held up my 6 ft. tall nephew and his girlfriend easy.

It doesn’t keep you out of the water like other floats. This one is meant to keep your body partially submerged. I only got to use it for a few minutes because everyone in our group was taking turns using it.

They all loved it. And packing it up to leave was a breeze. I recommend this type of float over any other float, hands down!!!.

I absolutely love this float! I have used these in the past and they were always good but this one in particular has the inflation and deflation techniques DOWN! It’s so easy! Also the construction is great as it doesn’t have fabric flaps that create a pocket for water so it dries very quickly which is great to be able to put it away not long after your pool adventure! This is by FAR the best float I’ve bought! I was so impressed, I got a second one the next day and I’m glad I did! LOVE it!.

I have owned a pool for many years now and have purchased various floats over the years but so far this has been my favorite float for the pool. I recently picked up a third at my local store. I love the mesh bottom so I can relax lay back work on my tan but also I stay cool slightly submerged in the water.

I dislike jumping off and on the regular vinyl blowup floats to cool myself not to mention the vinyl sometimes removes a layer of skin when getting off the float. No such problems with the mesh float plus they are nice and durable well made overall a really good product worth buying.

This AMAZING!! It’s huge. Super thick material! Used in pool. We took this on the boat and anchored then floated for hours in the Ocean! It’s so comfortable I keep falling asleep in it!! Great pricing for this most definitely high end Recliner Inflatable Lounge.

This arrived so very well packaged. The grandchildren fight over this one. I usually end up winning. I personally inflated this with no issues. It took approximately 2 1/2 minutes for me to inflate. Super easy.

I’m disabled so this was easy for me! Exactly as described. So pleased with this purchase.

I have a large pool . I love this couch i can relax in the pool and just lay back and watch clouds. It It is a large chair comfortable chair. It’s very durable well made to last. A great product.

Blue wave cooler couch is great to have for the pool, beach, or lake. It’s very durable and cost efficient. I love all my blue wave floats and would recommend this product to anyone.

I tried it out today and love it. But I AM concerned on the ripple side there is a hole, not a big one. but anybody ever have one come with one? The insert paper says it’s made from closed-cell foam so cuts will not affect the buoyancy.

Just making sure what others’ experience is. Thanks.

Very disappointed. Advertised as a 1. 5 inch thick float, it is really 1. 25 inches thick. If you are going to order a foam float try Doheny’s pool supply. Their 1. 5 inch thick foam floats are longer and thicker than these floats for the same price.

Doheny’s was out of stock so we tried these floats and there is no comparison.

Not as nice as another one I have. It is not as wide across or as thick as another one I have. This causes you to sink down more in pool. I have bad ears and I think that with this one my ears would be at least partially submerged.

My wife is light and she still sinks pretty good on this one. The ribbing on this isn’t nearly as deep as the other one I have either. I like it thicker so it creates a better channel underneath of you.

I would not call it a bad product but I know there are other ones available at same price that are much better at least for me.

I get a lot of pine needles in my pool. The solar powered pool cleaner skims them off the surface and then I remove them from the cleaner not from inside the filter. After three weeks, really like the product.

Nicknamed it Theodore after an animated tugboat on a show my kids used to watch. Simple, effective design. Very reliable. Solar powered motor and battery work great. Would like a little bit better motion detector.

It gets caught on the pool vac hose. Only flaw I can think of. Another question: seems pretty durable but how many years will I get out of Theodore? We’ll see.

I know it`s seems pricey, but this unit works excellent. I was a little skeptical, but I have had it for over a month now, and it does what it says. Just clean it out once a day and it does a great job.

I have a lot of trees in my yard, and leaves are not a problem. Easier then standing there with the skimmer, it is constantly on patrol.

Lets start with the positives: Great suction power, easy to clean out collection basket, easy to use. The negatives: the Dolphin is not as smart as it states-1) After using it for a few months, I noticed that the Dolphin would randomly scrub the pool floor without much of a pattern.

It would clean the same areas multiple times and leave other areas alone. If you launch the Dolphin in different areas of the pool it would help. 2) The Dolphin would get stuck on the slightly raised bottom pool drains.

Using it for a few months now, I noticed that when the Dolphin rolls over my pool drains (the covers are slightly raised approximately 1/2 to 3/4 in. above pool floor) it would routinely stop and spin in place just above the drains.

I noticed that the Dolphin would just spin while seeing that the “tank” tracks would rotate back and forth for minutes at a time before finally getting unstuck using its water jets to “lift” itself off the drains.

Finally, it is a minor issue but I figure I mention it: the power cord sometimes gets tangled up. Some other Dolphin models have a anti-tangle swivel power cord but this model doesn’t. No damage was done to the line but it takes a few extra minutes to unwind the tangles after its scheduled run.

Overall, it does what it says it can do including cleaning the vertical walls of the pool. Just don’t expect it to do a grid like pattern covering every square foot of the pool floor/wall.

We love our Dolphin. We did change out our filter basket after several uses only because we needed a basket to catch more leaves than grit at the time. But the Dolphin works wonderfully and it withstands the salt water very well.

It’s best to remove it after each cleaning but we tend to leave it in the pool, so the color does fade after a long time of being in the salt water; but that’s on us, not the product.

Ok I have had this vacuum for a bit now so I can leave a review. I live in NH and have an oak tree above the pool. This vac sucks up every acorn in sight! Also my pool is 20X40 and it sucks up every inch! Absolutely worth the money!!!! Wish it had a pause button on the unit so I can empty it without shutting it off but otherwise perfect! Every other vac I have bought that was part of the filter system would never work this time of the year! Hope it lasts for awhile but very impressed!!.

Love these fountains! The secret to getting a really high arc is to buy one for each of your return jets. They have a sleeve you can turn that opens a hole to allow water to filter normally. In other words, you can leave them installed all the time and can disable them anytime you want, without cutting off the filtered water supply to the pool.

Highly recommend! Enhances the pool and backyard atmosphere giving it a relaxing, replenishing form of tranquility. Well built quality product that is sure to satisfy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Awesome and quite an amazing product! Our family has enjoyed this product continuously with the fun of the fountain, colours at night, and it can even be turned round to be underwater with the light shining through the water.

Our pool has benefitted from both one, two and even three of these all running at the same time. Great product. great effect! Quality materials. I would certainly recommend this to family and friends.

The fountain works ,but had many problems. First the threads that go into the return would not tighten (to small) it also leaks really bad. after a trip to Lowes plumbing department, I modified it and made it work.

I have purchase several of these n the last five years. We play volleyball three times a week in the pool with two nets and the nets take a beating. They do, however, last pretty well 00 until this one.

It deflated after twenty minutes and, despite being blown up twice during our our of play, repeatedly deflated. As per Amazon’s suggestion because the product was defective, I contacted the manufacturer with not even an acknowledgement from it.

Truly disappointed.

Bought this used/like new. It was fun for about an hour… it was in the box, but didn’t come with a ball it started losing air quickly. We started to inflate again when we saw the patch. It was definitely a return, sold again in like-new condition.

I threw it away. If you purchase, buy new. Otherwise, this is a fun game for the family. I might purchase another, might not.

We can’t go swimming and just relax, it seems we always have to be bouncing a ball between us or doing something. We got this volleyball set to make some rules and define a playing field. It was the best money we spent!! Easy to blow up (with a hand pump) and we filled the anchor bags with river rock (no sharp edges) so it doesn’t move around much.

We have a 24ft round pool and play volleyball every chance we get. If you’re looking to do something more than float around on a tube, give this a try. The kids will love it as will the adults. We don’t leave it in the sun if we can help it but last year it did stay out more than it should have which caused the net to fall apart.

We purchased a new set this year and we are back in business.

We love this float as you can see my grand son is enjoying as he floats around the pool singing Harry Styles watermelon sugar

Pops easy, but they are fun and festive!! Love them. Colorful, playful and great conversation starters. Have the matching beverage con trainers also Kind of expensive Kids love them. They look great in photos and everyone always asks where I got them from.

;).

This is my favorite pool float. I have many pool floats but this one is my all time favorite. It was effective and didn’t let me down. This was adorable and with it. I would recommend this specially if you love watermelon like I do.

We added these hammocks to our collection of Kai Floating Luxuries floats and are very happy with them. This line of floats is excellent–workmanship, durability, comfort and value surpass all other brands we have tried.

Perhaps the most amazing feature is that they simply won’t fade or get moldy! We have a couple of floats that we left out all last summer and through the winter (we live in Central Florida)–they still look NEW–seriously, after being exposed to the sun, rain, and humidity for a year and they look as good as the ones we just received.

At last count we had 9 of these floats in various styles. I won’t buy anything else for our pool.

Can’t beat having a pool item made out of marine grade sunbrella fabric! Fading won’t be a problem for many years. Comfortable and fits many body sizes and heights. Body stays nice and cool while head and knees/feet are floating.

Dries quickly when hung as per manufacturers instructions. Just started using but if it becomes the popular item in the pool I will need to order more!.

We have had many rafts that last a month and then pop. They are used very hard at our pool, and great fun is had. When one pop, we always have another on hand. THE PIZZA RAFT LASTED ALL SUMMER. This is a great raft that is very durable.

I bought 4 more. And yes it popped at the end of the summer but it was used VERY hard. I would highly recommend this strong durable raft.

Yeah, that’s right, this order was a gift. Sometimes, people buy gifts for other people at DiscoverMyStore. During the holidays, I’m sure that this practice increases greatly. And while I hope that the recipient of my gift appreciates it and even likes it, I can’t imagine making the effort to contact that person to find out if they did indeed like it, just so I can write a review for you.

Sorry, but you’ll just to have rely on non-gift-related purchases for (most of) your reviews.

Bought one of these for a camping trip back in July that included a 3 hour float down the Au Sable river. Overall impressed. Convinced my roommates to buy one and had 4 attached to each other and made half a pizza.

It held together the entire time by the attachments and was able to deflate it with no problems. Made with good material and looking forward to having an entire pizza pie of me and my friends next year.

Also cup holders were a nice touch.

I have a big plaster cement pool and I am out there every especially right now cleaning my pool as so many leaves from my neighbor’s tree flee into my pool. I will review each piece separately. ***** 5 Stars for the thermometer.

It is fantastic, heavy floater, nice design and is great quality. The other one I had in the past was small and was not weighted like this one. ***** 5 Stars for the scrubber. This is a big improvement from the older one that I have, and love that the brush extends up and down.

It fit easily into the pole attachment and it is doing a great job helping me clean the pool walls. I can use this on the bottom of the pool if I wanted to but, I use my pool rake for that. This one is working out helping keep the walls clean.

I took the pole off and was able to bend down at the top of the pool and scrub some algae areas on my top areas of my pool. It is not too heavy, too light and it is not cheap. I love this! *** 3 Stars for the chlorine tablet container.

At first I thought this was great. I have a much older one and I was ready to replace it with this one, and now I am wondering how this one is going to hold up. This one collapses and it is supposed to click into place when you push down on it.

I have tried this so many times for it to lock into place and it just does not lock into place, feels cheap and flimsy too. I think if I keep trying to click this into place it is going to crack and break on me.

The bottom white area feels flimsy. I gave it 3 stars because it is too much to try and search for a way to click in place and where it will not crack, as it feels again very flimsy. MY overall rating is 4 stars because the other 2 items are awesome.

This is a good and reasonable kit including a chlorine floater, thermometer and brush. It’s very helpful to get them all in one, and the material looks reasonably durable. In the Florida sun nothing lasts forever, but these should keep for a few years.

The thermometer and brush are probably the most useful in this kit, being a good size. The chlorine tablet floater is probably the least functional due to it’s size, unless you have a small pool or over ground unit.

It is very wide, rather than tall, so it’s hard to fit the chlorine tablets in. The thermometer is large, and very legible, making it very useful. The brush has large and good bristles to scrub tile, naturally being careful on diamond brite so you don’t damage it.

All in all, not a bad package, but limiting the rating because the most important item (the chlorine tablet floater) is arguably the least functional of the group.

Nice concept, poor design. We have a basketball hoop on the pool, and I have very competitive boys that play middle school and high school basketball. I thought this would be a neat addition to add to the collection of pool basketballs.

That being said the boys had a few minutes of fun with the Watermelon Ball. It is heavy, so I’m not sure how/why it is marketed to younger kids (unless they’re content playing with it in the water/underwater).

I would consider it durable only if it is being compared to a balloon. Within a few minutes my 5 pound terrier jumped in the pool trying to get the ball. It was heavy so it just went underwater if he got close enough to paw at it or try to bite it.

Well, low and behold I guess my little dog either scratched the ball with his paws or somehow was able to puncture/bite with his teeth. When my son picked the ball up out of the water it looked like a sprinkler with a million little holes spouting water out of them.

It was fun for the few minutes it lasted, next time I will invest in $15 worth of balloons.

My husband bought this watermelon ball originally for us to play in our pool with any guests (especially our grandson). I was also in the process of encouraging our 4-year-old schnoodle to learn to swim in the pool.

The first time we started playing with this ball, our dog (Tucker) went bananas and into the pool he went! He swam like crazy trying to get the ball, knocking it down to the bottom of the pool and then going after it.

This was the ticket and is now our go-to toy for Tucker’s swim time. When he does manage to grab it in his mouth, the ball remains inflated and it is very tough. We went ahead and ordered a second anyway just in case something should happen to this one, and then we would have one sad puppy.

And with a second ball available, our grandson will be happy to have a ball back to play with.

This ball is awesome. We were looking for toys for our new pool and came across the watermelon ball. A bit prcier than alot of toys out there. “Pass up to 10 ft underwater!” it boasted. We were like “Yeah, ok.

Whatever”, but it looked neat so we got it anyway. Let me tell you, this thing does everything it says it does and it’s a blast. Easy to fill and feels durable. We have been dribbling it, passing it, and having a good ol’ time.

Our pool is 16ft across and it can be passed most of the distance between. Since it’s filled with water, it makes a very satisfying “sploosh” when dropped from above the surface. Even us adults fight over it a bit.

(We are giant nerds and may or may not use it like a Kamehameha wave attack) Can’t recommend this ball enough. Totally worth it.

I bought this alarm for my grandchildren when they moved into a home with a built in pool. They are 5 and 3 years old. It was easy to setup. Its an extra set of eyes at all times. Although nothing can replace full time adult safety around water, this device sounds a loud alarm and is like a lifeguard.

I am so happy with this safety device pool alarm!.

This device works as stated and gives me another layer of relaxation. While all adults need to watch the kids it’s relaxing to know that I am doing more to help with safety. Arrived on schedule at a fair price and worked right out of the box with easy to follow instructions.

The alarm constantly goes off due to water falling from elevated spa.

The add is very misleading. It is made out of very thin plastic. The neck or the part that hold the back board seems really cheap made and wobbly. It is very easily tuned over into the pool. The water weight is just not enough to make it secure.

It does look good sitting at the end of the pool. Just not worth the money.

Looks exactly as pictured! I comparison shopped this item and this was the best price by far! Do pay close attention to the dimensions. I apparently didn’t and it is larger than I really needed, since we have a small pool.

However, it does exactly what we need. There are only the two of us floating around, so it holds everything. our drinks, snacks, suntan lotions, and phones! :).

It’s great to have poolside or on the lake. Cup holders fit water or pop bottle size. So regular cups fit. Nothing bigger. Love it

No pool party is complete without a cooler what’s cooler than a normal cooler? A floating cooler! This is perfect for grabbing a cold drink without ever leaving the pool!

I had owned this pool float last year (bought a few for surprise gifts as well) and brought it with me on my trip to Florida with the family. This float is very comfortable, cute, and definitely a huge hit at the beach for not only those who came with me but for those at the beach who saw the float as well! With most pool floats, they tend to run on the smaller side which can be an issue for adults wanting to use them.

In fact, it’s hard to find “ring floats” that would work well with my dad being able to use them and he usually can only use the rectangle ones. With this float, it is quite large which helps in allowing all sizes to be able to use it with enough, comfortable space.

I even had my dad try getting in it (for a photo op moment of course) and he was able to comfortably squeeze in without any issues. I did not have any issues with inflation and loved how brightly colored it was in the florida sunshine.

After using it in Florida, I left it as a gift for the next people in line at the condo we stayed in and was sent a postcard in the mail from the next family in line thanking me for leaving it there as their kids (and adults) loved being able to bring it with them on the beach in the pool.

Overall, I’d say it’s definitely worth the money! In fact, I went back to purchase another one of these after leaving Florida so that I could have one for our pool at home!.

My family loves all of the Big Mouth floats. We get several of them at the beginning of the summer enjoy hot fun in the sun in the pool floating around on a pineapple , a pierce of pizza or a half eaten donut.

Good quality floats that make it through a summer with my rough boys!! Great selection.

Not only do I love this, but my kids do too. I had to get another one so there wasn’t problems on who got this first lol. I love the way it looks in our pool giving a splash of color and looks of fun.

I definitely recommend it and I love The Simpons and gives me those Simpson’s vibes! Big Mouth Toys BigMouth Inc Gigantic Donut Pool Float (Strawberry Frosted with Sprinkles).

IšverstiShow in original languageWe bought this Dolphin in April of 2020. I run the dolphin a few times a week to keep the bulk of the pool looking good and circulating the water. We live in Austin, Texas where the dolphin is exposed to the elements a few days a week and sheltered the rest of the time.

Pros- Out of the box, she’s pretty simple to get in the pool and start cleaning. I wanted to do a time lapse video of how she cleans, but I just don’t have the heart to let my pool get too dirty. Taking out the filter and cleaning it with a hose is relatively simple and with a good nozzle, gets the filter pretty clean.

It keeps the pool looking about 85% clean; as long as you don’t look too closely along the edges. Cons- This unit leaves the entire ridge of the pool with accumulated fine debris/dirt. It only came with one filter that wasn’t fine enough to pick up the smallest debris, so we purchased another here on Amazon for just under $100.

The cord is HORRIBLY tangled which cuts what it is able to clean by about 2/3. I’ve tried everything I can think of to untangle the cord, to no avail. I guide the cord around an umbrella stand at the deep end to allow it to clean that end of the pool.

The cord has also started to disintegrate. When I try to untangle the cord, the blue material it is made of sheds off in my hand. I am considering purchasing another cord here on Amazon, but at a price tag of $196 it makes this unit non cost efficient.

I’m hoping perhaps the cord is covered under the warranty since it’s still less than 2 years. The unit sometimes gets stuck on stairs and needs to be moved manually. It will climb some of the walls and not others, may be due to the tangled cord.

Overall- Considering it needed a new filter and about a year in needed a new “tangle-free” cord, I would consider getting the unit that is a step above for a couple hundred dollars more. If anyone has been able to keep the cord untangled, please share how that has worked for you.

IšverstiShow in original languageReview: DOLPHIN Nautilus CC Automatic Robotic Pool Cleaner – Ideal for Above and In-Ground Swimming Pools up to 33 Feet – with Large Capacity Top Load Filter Basket…The cord is absolutely horrible and I hate that they lie on these ads.

The cord tangles knots etc every week. Total Hassle. Do not buy unless you are okay detangling the cord. It is a process to detangle and it really is a 2-person job to get it corrected. I don’t write reviews often but I am so frustrated with this product.

And did I tell you it has stopped working; no electricity is going to the pump. I had to pour coke on the electrical end to clean it out; pretty much like a car battery that is corroded. But the CORD is what really is frustrating.

It coils up to 10 ft it is so bad. Then you have to stretch it back out to straighten, only to have go back to a coil position a few days later. Cleaning: It’s okay. I have to run mine to get a good clean three times in one day.

The ad is deceiving and not true. If you really want a good clean, you have to sweep the sides of the pool 2-3 times and push all debris to the middle of the pool for it to pick up and situate the cleaner in the area you want it to clean because it keeps cleaning the same area over and over and not going to the area you need cleaned.

Ugh! Totally frustrating. So buy if you want, but know it comes with a lot of extra work and that is the real deal.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis pool cleaning robot started to go bad within the first week. The control panel would come on, light up, but the robot wouldn’t move. Multiple resets would sometimes get it going, but more often than not, it just refused to move.

Took it in to an authorized service provider, they looked at it didn’t find anything specifically wrong with it. Put it back in the pool and next day same problem. Company doesn’t respond to support requests.

Never was able to connect to the WiFi control. Despite being sold and labeled as WIFI enabled, and having a large WIFI badge, the app would never find the machine. If you select the “Contact us” button in the APP after it fails to connect to wifi, it asks for the serial number, then tells you “this unit is unable to send emails”.

Dolphin products may have been excellent at one time, but that is no longer the case. New ownership appears intent on milking every dollar possible from the Brand, with no regard for product quality or customer support.

Don’t waste your time or money. Constant frustration. Just a really bad product with no customer support.

We canceled our pool chemical service recently and so I ended up having to purchase a brand new chemical test kit because our old one was expired. The only thing I really don’t like about this kit is that, compared to my old kit, testing chlorine is a pain.

The powder reagent, although it’s supposed to be more accurate, is messy. I miss the drops. I also wish they would give you a little notepad to record your results and keep track of what you need to add.

I purchased the K-2006 Taylor test kit from Leslie’s. Shipping was prompt. This kit includes everything I need to check my pool chemical levels. The kit includes a 64 page waterproof Pool & Spa Water Chemistry Treatment guide, with Q & A, and very specific treatment tables to correct the water if needed.

The test kit container is a hard shell waterproof case with a carrying handle. Taylor videos are also helpful to troubleshooting a couple of strange results. I feel very confident testing our pool water now.

Buy the Commercial kit aka C kit if you need glasses. The instructions on the inside lid are much bigger on the Commercial Kit and that is the guide to how to use. Also the K-2006C kit does not do bromine and the Chlorine is a little more involved than the K-2005C which only gives you Chlorine/Bromine readings in 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 ( which could be much more than 5 ).

K-2006C did do a. 2 or. 5 resolution Chlorine depending on sample size. And K-2006C was easier for combined chlorine as K-2005C is wait and see if there is a color shift. Also my 2006C kit had the instructions on the lid for salt and a space to put the salt regents and tube.

The K-2005C is a little faster and easier to use with R 0001, 0002, 0003 droppers and mach on color scale but the K-2006C is a little more detailed using R-0870 powder that must remain dry then you bleach it out with R-0871 dropper counting the drops til clear and that is the chlorine X.

2 or X. 5 drops then R0003 and re drop R-0871 til clear for combined chlorine.

It is durable if handled and stored correctly. It is made of cheap materials but it does get the job done. I’ve used mine for several years and keep it in the garage when not in use. My biggest complaint would be that the collection bag will get sucked into the vacuum hole if your not paying attention.

Plus side of the collection net/with pole is the feature of extending the pole.

Great product at a great Big Lots price. Used this kit for cleaning my Bestway 12′ round pool. Skimmer net was the perfect size and the vac worked great for cleaning the bottom of the pool. Other merchants were selling similar products at twice the price.

A very good value for the price.

I purchased the pool skimmer maintenance kit because a purchased a 10′ pool and needed it. Haven’t had a chance to use it because of the rain. But everything I purchase from Big Lots is of good quality.

I enjoy shopping at your store.

Great quality but needs to be bigger. The quality is fantastic. But It’s good for young person that is 150 pounds but that is all. Also they need to put the loops on two corners of the float for ease of hanging.

This float was not what we were looking for. We are looking for an all foam float. The quality of the float was great with a great appearance just not what we wanted. We were looking for a float that basically stayed on the water and not dip in it.

We returned the floats and I had one of the best customer service rep experience that I have encountered. We worked with Lynne Pradella and she was first class! Helped up with all our questions and she was very quick with a response! She gets 5 stars!.

This is the best! I have fallen asleep in this float several times. We first encountered them at a Sandals resort and ordered a pair for our pool as soon as we returned home. They are great floatation devices with just the right amount of buoyancy for my 235 lb body.

My wife who weighs half that enjoys hers just as much. they are easy to get in and out of, dry quickly out of the water, and are light weight and easy to store. They aren’t cheap, but the life expectancy should make them a bargain over cheaper pool toys.
