Out first donut pool cost $70.00 on sale at a major national toy store and included filter, ladder, and groundcloth. I thought "What a great deal! No problem". This "gateway" pool has led to greater and greater expenditures for bigger and better pools. It snared us like a schoolyard pusher. Not really. The pools we've had the last several years have brought much happiness to our family and friends and what I've learned here has kept us clean and safe.
