We can't afford a houseboat yet, so we got a swimming pool. Nope, don't think nice big 5 foot deep beauty, think over grown wading pool. 12 foot diameter and 31 inches deep. Instructions said 30 minutes from box to swimming. 30 MINUTES MY ASS!
I spent over 3 hours assembling the frame/liner part, and had the water hose running full force into it for about 4 hours. It's still not even full enough to turn on the filter!
I can understand that it's hard to estimate the time to do something like build a pool, but 30 minutes?!?! That's just a flat out lie. It's not even possible to FILL the already assembled pool in 30 minutes.
Don't get me wrong. I thought it was ridiculous when I saw it, but the more I think about it the more pissed I get about it. At one time there was at least the pretense of honesty in advertising. Now can we just make any claim we want? Bring on the snake oil!
