The pool is constructed from plastic. The construction is built to handle exposure to outdoor conditions including sun and moisture. This material choice supports everyday use while maintaining the structural integrity needed for the product's intended applications.

How big is the pool?

The pool measures 48 x 30 x 5 inches (length x width x height). Use these measurements to plan setup space and confirm the product fits your yard or outdoor area.

The pool is used for backyard recreation and outdoor enjoyment. It is designed for use in yards, garden spaces, or other open outdoor areas where there is room for setup and active use.

How do I clean and care for the pool?

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh solvents that can dull or crack the surface. Regular light cleaning extends the lifespan of the pool and keeps it looking and performing well over time.

What is the power source for the pool?

The pool uses solar power. Confirm you have the appropriate power connection, fuel, or battery type available at the location where you plan to use the product, and review any supplied power cords, adapters, or hardware before setup.

In full sunlight for 2 days and the pool temp jumped to 91 degrees.
In three days my pool was four degrees warmer. You can feel the warmer water coming through.
Installation was a breeze so easy to use and works wonderful.

Keep pool warm

This has kept our pool warmer this summer however it was difficult to get it set up at first because all my hoses didn’t work with it they were too short to put it on the ground and put it towards the sun. So we had to buy longer hoses and put it on a table which wasn’t the best option but it worked for this year

Love this!

This solar power heater is awesome. Had only used a solar blanket by itself prior to installing this heater and together? wow what a difference. In full sunlight for 2 days and the pool temp jumped to 91 degrees. A little warm for my husband but perfect my liking. Night swimming never felt so good. Installation was a breeze and we absolutely love this heater.

It really works!

I am always trying to keep my pool water as warm as possible so I decided to try this out. I have to say it was well worth it. I used it in conjunction with my solar cover and some liquid heat trapper. It really worked! In three days my pool was four degrees warmer. At one point it even felt like bath water before all of our rain. You can actually feel the warmer water coming through the outlet. I didn’t try this until almost the end of the pool season here in Ohio so I am really looking forward to next summer. I have no doubt I will be able to get my pool at least eight degrees warmer. I also look forward to being able to open my pool a little earlier as well. I have always been interested in finding more ways to heat my pool without having to buy an expensive heater. I’m pretty sure I have a great combination now!

A must have!

I live in an area where the summers are so short-only 2 months! So we don’t get much pool time in the summer. I was so excited to get the Baby Bear solar power heater system for our new above ground pool. It raised our pool temperate to a more comfortable temperature-which my kids were definitely happy about! It’s going to now allow us to extend our pool time by a few more weeks!!
